Some meth-mouthed has-been from nearly three decades ago couldn’t put on an engaging and high energy performance? Color me surprised…
It was fine. Prince’s halftime show was a “triumph”.
The irony of the guy – whose name is a plural away from being a possible slogan for them – being the big star for these people is incredible.
It was cool. I dream of Brandi Carlile headlining.
Slightly unrelated but why is he wearing a ‚Detroit‘ hat when the city nor the state its in is not relevant in this superbowl
edit: this dumbass question 😭😭
“Rock” should initiate a class action lawsuit for libel.
The fact that Kid Rock blatantly lip synced made it even more ironic with how fake he is
Didn’t watch but I’m assuming it was terrible. I remember when this buffoon was a rapper, guess he realized he sucked at that, so he moved on to a different grift.
Bad Bunny’s show was fantastic, and his message inspiring. There was an actual wedding, and messages of love, unity and positivity.
The MAGAs could only manage a fake-ass AI video that was less than 2 minutes long. The song was about drugs and prostitution.
They turned it off when the kid part was Kid Rock.
I don’t particularly like Bad Bunny’s music, but it was visually very cool. It’s ok if it wasn’t for you, but it was fine to watch for 12 minutes. There was plenty to keep anyone’s attention. I think anyone saying it was horrible was not going to give it a chance anyway.
The choreography and camerawork was amazing. The set for the show was the best I’ve seen at a halftime show. Entertaining, great energy and overall message and history woven throughout a bonus!
I want to see how bad the TPUSA show was but I don’t want to pad their viewing numbers.
It was so boring that Trump didn’t even watch it
Kid Rock has always been awful
Holy cope. I mean the half time wasn’t horrible, but why go overboard? The production was excellent, but Bad Bunny was horrible
Just watched a few seconds and it was so bad. There’s a small crowd. No wonder it was so boring even Trump didnt watch it
It was solid. Subjectivity not in my top 5 SB half time shows.
Not even close to as good as Prince or the Dr Dre/Eminem/Kendrick/50 cent/Snoop show a few years ago. I enjoyed Bruno Mars more as well.
Not the worst at all but All Time Triumph seems like hyperbole.
Bad Bunny’s performance was horrible and I don’t understand why on earth any one is celebrating him, is what I would say if I was a pathetic loser who watched the Kid Rock performance instead.
maga dont embarrass america for one day challenge:
impossible
The bushes were people!
I thought Bad Bunny was pretty good. He was actually better than Kendrick Lamar, I couldn’t understand him either, and he speaking English.
I didn’t watch the SB or the MAGA thing. It’s kind of funny though seeing the arguments against Bad Bunny. Kid Rock, in my estimation only, has never been entertaining.
So kidMagaRock wanted to get paid? That’s how this works.
I checked out the Turning Point show on my phone out of curiosity and it was literally just a sausage party that looked like an episode of The Voice
Was the venue a grindr hot spot?
Rock’s show was… bad. I also didn’t care for Bad Bunny’s show either. But, I mean, that music really isn’t for me. If it were up to me the half-time show would have a handful of Canadians in their 60s using computers to make themselves sound angry. Most people would hate it, but like ten people at the stadium would have their minds blown by Bill Leeb coming out to do guest vocals on “Assimilate”.
My takeaway? I’m glad people enjoyed it and I’m amused the right was so upset about it. The disparity in production value was fucking hilarious.
His name is Robert Ritchie. He’s neither a kid, nor does he rock.
Im not a fan of bad bunny but I think his performance was really good. Especially the messages that were conveyed. Kid Rock is straight up absolute buns and a creep 🤮🤢
