My age is truly showing, but the kind of music Bad Bunny put on is not my kind of cup of tea. I am an unabashed classic rock fan.
BUT, I absolutely did love the show Bad Bunny put on, it was great and truly showed a compassionate story. AND...... what I love even more is the fact that it pissed the orange dumpster and all his mob members off.
Thank you. As I saw this, I immediately thought it was a smack in the face to Donald Trump and his people (Miller especially), their white vision of America. Theirs apparently is a white Christian US plus what else can be grabbed of the lands south, never mind the people as we have for over a hundred years. Heather Cox Richardson tells it well in her letter today https://heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/p/february-9-2026?
And they were joyfully dancing about the message, not afraid.
The Donald was actually watching Bad Bunny's celebratory show and not his own failed counter show. He said it was a smack in the face to the country, as if he is the country. He is not. Again, it was about him. Actually it was about a lot more.
Just watched the bad bunny vid on Youtube. What I loved about it was his embrace of his culture and nod to it's past and present difficulties. So friggin creative. The man is a powerhouse. Kudos to him and his message!
I’d like to believe it’s true that Bad Bunny’s performance was “inspiring; a paean to the people being vilified by the current occupant of the White House” and “laden with cultural significance.” I’d like to think that “[n]othing could be further from the truth” than the claim that it was a “slap in the face” of America. I’d like to believe in the accuracy of the label “Bad Bunny’s transcendent performance.” But I read a different article about Bad Bunny’s message, and I don’t believe any of the foregoing mere conclusory contentions if the facts reported elsewhere are true.
Is anything about Bad Bunny in the following piece false? Or was the Radicalist writer right? At the half-time show did Bad Bunny sing the lyrics the Radicalist reported? Who is trying to gaslight us?
I had my own reaction. This show was a response to the wave of anti-immigration, anti black and brown terrorizing, the cruelty, the outrage, the ripping apart of the fabric of our country, we all have been enduring from this administration trying to shove on us their malignant vision. And it was done by Bad Bunny creatively joyously thankfully in celebration of our country- what it is and has been for almost 250 years. You must have had your reaction. Do you have doubts? You cannot be gaslighted unless you are so weak about plain right and wrong.
Potter, you don't seem to understand my question. Who is gaslighting us? Is it this piece praising Bad Bunny or is it the other piece (for which I provided a link) reportedly revealing some of the lyrics he sang? Can you answer my question?
I don’t believe these are the lyrics Bad Bunny used from what i could research so far. I will get back to you on this but I am suspicious that this is from those trying to bring him down. It does not make sense he would get up there and sing those words. Does it? can you also do some research?
My question was for Meredith because she wrote about Sunday's show. I thought she'd know or she'd know someone who would be able to say. I don't speak Spanish, and I'm not going to ask anyone I know who does speak Spanish to tell me if those lyrics were sung on Sunday's show.
The rush to grab other translations ( not the performance) from "Genius" (lyrics) by the ill-intentioned Trumpists and those who cannot stand what the message really was.
Here are translations and explanations of the Bad Bunny performance which was in Spanish.
"USA TODAY Network reporters who are fluent in Spanish listened to a replay of the performance. They said many of the explicit lyrics shared by Fine were genuine translations of songs, but weren't part of the performance."
I also went to the Genius website for lyrics. This is what the "gotcha" crowd is doing, including, as usual Trump who has used more inappropriate language than anyone in power ever. These clever malicious folks who cannot stand success of their opposition and who do not know the Spanish as heard on TV. not the published lyrics on Genius, were joyous in their gotcha while Bad Bunny was joyously saying something quite different. This is evil at work with these right wingers and the people that attempt to overthrow us with hate and division.
Okay. Let's have it out. Play the performance. Translate it.
Thank you for that link, but those lyrics don't match the lyrics in the piece for which I provided a link. Did Bad Bunny sing the lyrics that the Radicalist reported?
reportedly sung.... reportedly sung! The lyrics he writes about were not the ones sung. This is a hit piece by an ill-intentioned radical BY ADMISSION! Jack you are exasperating! No not *merely* trying to understand.. You are not thinking like you want to understand. You want to believe what you believe and now I question your honesty about what you say.
reportedly sung... people who do not know Spanish are reading the published lyrics of one of the several clips of songs ( from a list of songs he sung parts of) and not what he actually sung. These people are ignorant or rushing to claim horror to bust the good vibes the Bad Bunny brought. Do I suspect the radical right Trumpers?- yeah I do. They will take it and run with it true or not because a lie gets halfway around the world before the truth gets it's pants on. Please see my links above.. much more believable for those who are not into gotcha and addicted to hate. .. as Bad Bunny was trying to promote- love is more powerful than hate.
The hypocrisy should not be lost either with the Trump crowd trying to deflect from Epstein by being horrified by lyrics, lyrics!, that were not even used even if they were published on websites.

Here's a link to what is described as BB's Super Bowl lyrics. Make your own decision as to it's appropriateness for a national TV presentation.

Described as but really? Or malicious fake? Do more research.

Okay what?

Apparently not.. the gotcha crowd is busy grabbing their crotches.. see my links above,
What are you trying to say? Think it out and try to put together some interesting thoughts.
Your initial review does not make sense.
Judith, did you read the article (or at least the lyrics that reportedly were sung by Bad Bunny) for which I provided a link?
reportedly sung.... reportedly sung! The lyrics he writes about were not the ones sung. This is a hit piece by an ill-intentioned radical BY ADMISSION! Jack you are exasperating! No not *merely* trying to understand.. You are not thinking like you want to understand. You want to believe what you believe and now I question your honesty about what you say.
