in retrospect, it's silly that the modern counterculture right ever thought they stood a chance of winning the culture war. they're giving the leftists a run for the title of most joyless political faction with this halftime show response.

Sorry if already discussed, but do we know if he actually sang the Spanish equivalents... or did he skip (or beep over) them?

Interesting argument here. If this is an accurate translation of the lyrics, and I don’t speak Spanish so I have no idea what he said, this would 100% be major FCC violations in English. Why wouldn’t that be the case in Spanish too? https://t.co/UvQQYRUgqi

I didn't know who BB was until now and watched his show yesterday, thankfully no gay stuff or garish colors, I was expecting that.
Flag thing, did not like.

Lol. You did not like him saying "God Bless America" and displaying the flags of all the Americas …?

I swear, sometimes I wonder if Texags Politics is just performance art…not a real place. Some of you just do not seem like real, serious people.

I remember the last time you thought this place was "performance art". Then your girl got her ass kicked.

Ahh yes, when Trump's own supporters felt like he did t do well in a debate, so their immediate reaction was to ask if Kamala had the questions ahead of time.

Thank you for reminding me about that. That was classic!

Tragically, my white guilt FB friends are non-stop virtue signalling about how great Bad Bunny's performance was for "brown people" and it just shows how evil Trump is.

Like seriously folks... it was a dude from Puerto Rico playing a genre of music from Puerto Rico surrounded by a set made up to look like a sugar cane field in Puerto Rico.

---

It's hilarious.

Bad Bunny could have stood there for 15 minutes with his hands in his pockets and progressives would be singing hosannas to him today. Unity! Love! Multiculturism!

If only there was a yard sign or something so they could remind everyone they are better!

By the way, in my neighborhood where no political signs are allowed (outside of those supporting specific candidates during election season), one progressive put out red Valentine hearts in her yard. Except when you look closely they say progressive **** like "Justice."

So even Valentine's is an opportunity to virtue signal.

Old white liberal men and woman are now Bad Bunny fans cause of what exactly orange man bad? Such pathetic losers.

Not conceding the debate, but who won the election?

Scoreboard, *****es.

Deranged man harasses a bar owner and calls him a "rAcIsT" for playing the TPUSA Super Bowl halftime show instead of the Bad Bunny. So the owner kicks him out

https://www.instagram.com/reel/DUjRQp-ETau/

watched the halftime show taking all politics out of it and the show only on its merits wqs terrible. i don't hate bad bunny per say although i thought it was a terrible choice for the super bowl. all that said thay performance wqs terrible. it was more about making a point than music.

Tell me exactly why I shouldn't have an issue with a Puerto Rican singer who has voiced anti-American sentiment - and has advocated for Puerto Rico to separate from the US - taking the title of a song written by Irving Berlin specifically as a song/prayer for UNITED STATES pride and blessings; and redefining it to be "all of the American continent"?

If he wants a message for "the Americas", he should write his own song.

He knew what he was doing, there, and so do you. My question to you is, why do you love so much that he did it? Are you ashamed of the USA?

Dude beefs with a restaurant manager over over the restaurant airing the TPUSA halftime show instead of Bad Bunny....

🚨 PATHETIC: A man walked up to a bar owner and called him a “RACIST” for playing TPUSA’s Halftime Show

The bar owner responded by kicking him out and banning him from the premises.

THAT’S the proper response.

people will argue here he is American he isnt. lol

Quote:

Ricky Martin was talking about how people need to keep their flags and essentially push back on America so they aren't colonized like Hawaii. The end message was very clearly about how the "Continent" of America (though there are 2 but whatever) is blessed by God and went out of his way to diminish the US as just another country at most.

---

Using a song that is associated with the United States and has never been used by any of those other countries. It was just a very cheap, forced, way to try and push their own narrative that frankly isn't accurate. And it's no coincidence they went this complete opposite direction in a year when you'd think most U.S. events would emphasize the 250th - which only comes around once. I guess throwing it in quickly at the beginning was all they thought of it. But they, they did a thing and everyone is supposed to think it's great because of all the flash and rah rah.

So, because the name of the song is 'God Bless America' you actually think it is used and recognized by any of the other countries in the Americas? It is only used by the United States. It is a song associated only with the United States, unless another country plays it as a tribute to the United States. Maybe educate yourself before tossing those stones at glass houses.

Yeah, some of you do not seem like real, serious, people indeed.

It's not fake, just misleading. It's the iTunes Top Songs Chart, and it is heavily weighted to purchases and measures short-term trends. So you're naturally going to see a bump for the TPUSA performers. Third Eye Blind is also in that list at #7 because the lead singer died yesterday. The Apple Music Top 100 is weighted more toward total streams, which is probably a more accurate measure as the vast majority of people don't buy music anymore.

clay travis has a long history of soft takes, but this might be the softest yet

just my two cents, i didn't get Bad Bunny, but i didn't get The Weekend from a couple of years ago either, so there's that.

'The Zoo' I believe the 'victim' claims.
I believe it's in St. Petersburg....

Yeah, it has been a really long time since I have opened the iTunes store app, usually just stream through Apple Music.

"Trending Songs" has Taylor Swift Opalite in the top spot since she released a music video for it.

This article has a lot of information on the show mainly the lyrics:

Gen-X and older buy music. Most under the age of AARP wouldn't even bother when they can stream.

Thanks. That's the difference there as I kept checking every chart (including USA, Houston, etc.) and Kid Rock was nowhere near the top 50. But that makes more sense.
