next year we can go to another region. i suggest this cultural phenomenon

 

Not gonna lie...back then that was a fun song when driving down the highway or on the beach or driving down the highway to the beach

Bad Bunny's halftime show averaged 128.2 million viewers from 8:15-8:30 p.m. ET. That would make it the fourth-most watched halftime behind Kendrick Lamar (133.5 million, 2025), Michael Jackson (133.4 million, 1993) and Usher (129.3 million, 2024).

4th all time? Guess the boycott didn't do much after all.

 

Hell yeah it was. That first album was amazing.

 

I think the NFL is even more interested in this, given their focus on going global:

Total social media consumption of Bad Bunny's halftime show set a record of 4 billion views after the first 24 hours, according to the NFL and Ripple Analytics. That is a 137% increase over last year.

The social media figures include fans, owned platforms, broadcast partners and influencers.

The NFL said over 55% of all social views came from international markets.

 

With certain demographics, you might have to specify which four seasons....

 

Super Bowl LX, Bad Bunny's halftime fall shy of ratings records

 

Where's Silent Bob?

 

House Republicans are calling on the Federal Communications Commission to investigate Bad Bunny's Super Bowl halftime performance, suggesting the content and lyrics of the Puerto Rican star's show were "illegal."

they were certainly profane. one assumes FCC rules apply in Spanish, just as they do in English.

 

Have you Helen Lovejoys ever watched NFL or NBA cheerleaders before?

 

OMG!!!!! let's deport him

 

Posted in the other halftime thread as everyone is glossing over the obvious in order to get political --

The issue isn't Bad Bunny is Hispanic or sang in Spanish. America is 1/3 latin and loves latin entertainers --- from Jennifer Lopez, Shakira, Lin Manuel Miranda, Ricky Martin --- they are all incredibly successful and talented.

With Bad Bunny , he is genuinely awful musically. This is not a talented person. He's a glorified hype man who sounds like the drunk uncle at a quincenera. He's given awards and forced down America's throat because he is implicitly open borders, no human is illegal, trans communism, America is stolen land and very clearly a plant from the left to show how they dominate culture. They can make any scrub a star and own all the marketing platforms. So this was a middle finger to actual Americans who think rule of law of matters. No one at my shindig watched or cared, and also had no idea there was an alternate halftime show.

People of all races are past the point of fatigue- since Jay Z took over the halftime show in 2019, it's avoided booking any white performers who wouldn't just bow down to everyone around them that wasn't white. NFL, like most corporations, are only driven by money, not ideals or morality.

The fact that it underperformed given the reach was higher than ever and numbers had no reason not to increase is the only way they'll stop the hate, masquerading as victimhood.

 

Of course they are.........................should investigate kiddie rock for lip synching and then finally just stopped singing, leave it to these blow hards to make it political.......................I don't even listen to Bad Bunny and I can say that was a fun time.

 

I didn’t even know who Bad Bunny was until they started all this b*tching and crying over him being announced to perform at the Super Bowl

My 1st thought was, what dude names themselves Bad Bunny? If you had asked me who that was, I would’ve guessed it was a female rapper

it was a shock when I found out he was actually one of the most popular artists in the entire world

then all the crying got me to check out some of his music on Spotify…then all the crying had me looking forward to his halftime performance and watching the entire thing

 

I didn’t watch the game or the show. But I saw a funny reel with the people dressed as trees and the music to LOTR scene with the tree people. I forget what they’re called. Nymphs?

edit: Ents?

 

of course. but I've never heard one sing or speak on TV.

 

Liked. Solid direction and close up camera work. Probably in the top half of modern halftimes. But lacked a moment. Prince had a moment, which is rare, but he saw it and seized it.
