How would you musically rate this year's Super bowl halftime show

DoctorChicken said:
Musically a B. Bad Bunny is a talented artist.

Set and production was absolutely an A+. It looked cool, it looked expensive, it was exceptionally well done.

I enjoyed it. It seems like most people who didn’t already decide they weren’t going to like it enjoyed it.

Bringing out Lady Gaga and Ricky Martin was pretty cool.

Oh yeah bad Bunny is an incredibly talented artist with the whole one and a half octave voice range .
I think he even plays the piano.

His singing is described as a slurry of conversation.
 
I had never heard or seen him perform.

I watched it on a small TV with a lot of background noise so I really should watch it again before writing my opinion in ink.

I came away wondering what he brought to the table talent wise. He seemed to have a vocal range of about a step and half.

It seemed like a speech set to a beat.

That pretty much hits it right on the head a speech set to a beat and I listen to it twice to try and give it a chance but that was made for a different audience than the one that watches the Super bowl.

I watched Kid Rock's show and thought it was excellent.

Not interested in the type of music in the other show.

Agreed I thought kid Rock show was very good especially putting it together in a short period of time.
Kid Rocks show was geared for the type of audience that watches the Super bowl. In the United States of America where the game was born.

Bad Bunny show would be much better for the intermission at a bullfight not the biggest American football game of the year.

I don’t know one person that listens to Kid Rock in 2026. If you want 2001 United States or Americanos agree.

The SB is watched by 130 million people. From kids to women to mothers to grandparents to men….literally one big melting pot. The NFL is as successful as it is because there’s not one set of demographic that watches it.

I grew up with the half time show being the time to use the bathroom or do a quick grocery store run. Nobody cared about it to the point they were having 80 year old performs perform half *** and songs created 50 years ago.

Inthink the NFL spotted that and went with much better and younger performers.

Rihanna was a mistake having her up there pregnant. It was terrible.

That's cool and I don't know one person that listens to bad Bunny which just means the people we know have different musical taste.
But everyone I do know agrees that we should have a halftime show where the entertainer sings in a language that we can understand.
This is an American sport born and bred in the United States of America

Not South America.
I also don't know anybody who tunes into the broadcast from South America and listens to the commentary in Spanish so I don't know why we would want to listen to the halftime show in Spanish.

Younger performers don't mean they are necessarily better performers many people can appreciate classic music.

Nobody I know was happy with that halftime performance but I live in Pennsylvania 10 miles from Philadelphia.

Hey if you live in Puerto Rico or Mexico you're probably happy as a clam with that type of performance.
I live in a state where Hall of Fame football players come from Dan Marino Joe Namath Joe Montana Johnny Unitas Jim Kelly Aaron Donald jackham Tony dorsett Curtis Martin Fred belitnikoff Chuck bednarik.

Can you provide a list like that from Puerto Rico.

This is where football is played and football was made and everybody I talk to here wants a halftime show in our language that we can understand

That’s the thing though. You don’t know anyone who listens to him but he’s the biggest artist in the world. Not just Puerto Rico.

He’s Puerto Rican. He’s not from South America.

I’m confused so where you live there’s no one that speaks Spanish or a different language? America has so many cultures and so many people and different languages. That’s what makes this place great to live.

Younger doesn’t mean better. Prince had a great performance and one of my favorite. Rihanna’s….terrible. I liked Coldplay’s too.

Nobody you know was happy with the performance? I thought you didn’t watch it and watched Kid Rock?

I had no idea what he was saying. But that’s a reflection on me not him. One of my best friends is a Puerto Rican from New York. Their culture is beautiful and I think that’s what I got from
The performance. He introduced us to our culture and it was beautiful.

I grew up in the era where TRL was popular as was acts like Kid Rock, Limp Bizkit, etc. the irony though is back when Kid Rock did perform it was deemed disrespectful by Americans for punching a hole in the American Flag and sticking his big head through it. :laugh:

When Bad Bunny performed there was no disrespect and as a matter of fact was completely respectful.

I’m perfectly fine if they go to Nigeria next year or Australia or Mexico or Jamaica or anymore underrepresented cultures. So many beautiful places you should check them out.
 
I watched kid Rock during the game I watched the bunny's performance on a replay the day later so I could properly comment on it actually watched it twice and it was equally bad each time.

Sure I know people who speak Spanish just like there's people in Puerto Rico that speak English but if they had a game that was born in their country they would probably want somebody speaking their language at the halftime show just like I do.

I have no desire to check any of those places out because we live in the greatest nation in the world the United States of America.

Bad bunny the biggest artist in the world will see how he stands the test of time.

The Who ,Tom Petty ,Bruce Springsteen ,The Rolling Stones, Prince,

They were halftime shows to remember.

Soccer might be a good game for you to follow since you're into the underrepresented cultures.

The national football League represents my culture the United States of America's culture.

And hey if the guy could actually sing and was talented maybe the show wouldn't have been so bad but that guy's terrible

The Super bowl is a day to celebrate our country our culture
And a sport born in our country.

Really not sure why this is so hard for people to understand.

Funny fact: Both shows featured people associated with the WWE. Kid Rock doing themes for WWE and being in the WWE Hall of Fame and Bad Bunny wrestling for WWE and will again in the future. :laugh:

Puerto Rico is not a country.

This country you keep sayin you represent is changing and getting younger.

I get not liking his music. We all have our preferences. It’s the comments though. Your sport isn’t changing regardless of who performs at half time. You seemed to enjoy the Kid Rock one maybe we should just do an alternate one every year? Maybe let Kid Rock perform every year?

He did really well as a wrestler too. That was my first time being introduced to him.
 
Bad Bunny did very little for me in the musical appreciation department. I prefer music with English language in the singing that I understand. It's far down on the list of music that appeals to me.

Watching strangers getting married seemed a waste of time, as well. If that's the best the NFL can do for a halftime show, I'd just as soon spend time with having high school marching bands perform.

I think they were more concerned with ratings. Then the actual music. And despite everyone saying they wouldn’t watch the ratings don’t reflect that.


According to Billboard Magazine[18], these are the highest-viewed Super Bowl halftime shows:

  1. Kendrick Lamar in 2025 (133.5 million viewers)
  2. Michael Jackson in 1993 (133.4 million viewers)
  3. Usher in 2024 (129.3 million viewers)
  4. Bad Bunny in 2026 (128.2 million viewers)[19]

Pretty cool Kendrick did that.
