But did you see CardiB, Jessica Alba and Pedro Pascal dancing 

I wonder if the end where he climbed the light pole was about when the power went out a few years ago after the hurricane...some sort of symbolism

Every future halftime show could just be Jessica alba dancing alone and I’d be transfixed

The whole performance was what music can be an about. A celebration of a culture but also a commentary on other things. The symbolism was meant to educate as well as entertain

We tend to plan vacations as a family wanting to explore not just a different place but a different culture. Have experienced Costa Rica and last year Eastern Europe. Mr. J and I have been throwing around visiting PR and Belize and after seeing that fun cultural halftime show has it got me wanting to go somewhere.

Been lurking here forever, but just came to add that the song that had all the women twerking? It's about women being able to go to clubs, dance however they want, and not be harassed. So kind of the opposite of objectifying and degrading women...

@AlexD1990 see you are in Lewes, DE. Mr. J and I took a trip back the end of September to DE as we had never been there. Stayed in a lovely AirBB just outside of Rehoboth Beach. We ventured up to Lewes. Visited the lovely museum in town. Had some Kickin’ Chicken in the beautiful park just behind it and then ventured down the streets to a secluded beach down by the Yacht club. Had a great time!

Yep came here to say the same thing. Why certain men feel that if a woman moves their body a certain way is sexual is on them and them alone. It is as pathetic as the ‘oh but her shoulders aroused me’ crap. Honestly the two Ms. J’s would have a field day with him. 

the song he was singing then--Yo Perreo Sola/I Twerk Alone--is literally about women having the freedom to dance without men hitting on them or slut-shaming them or assaulting them.

the irony is overwhelming.

this is a great thread that walks through the entire performance and provides the context for each scene:
