Didn't care for the robo-music based first couple minutes.
When the music took on a more distinct Latin flavor, I enjoyed it much more.

I was in attendance as my company is couple minutes from Levis. Been to a few stupid bowls in my life. Sound was not the greatest in person and most people around me just standing around. Lots going on I'm sure watching at home was more entertaining.

I came away with three thoughts.

1). I didn't understand much but I realized I would definitely want to be invited to that party- all positive vibes.

2). I AM going to learn Spanish!

3). I've got to learn to dance.

It wasn't just the usual singers with or without back-up dancers. That's not to say I didn't love the performer. He was terrific! I'm betting he gained millions of new fans last night.

I can see where it could seem jarring to some folks, the camera perspective switch between the crowd experience and a more intimate audience experience at times could take one out of the performance a bit, but I still enjoyed it.

I loved the PR/Latin cultural aspects of it, loved the read wedding in the middle, loved the celebrity cameos (Pedro!), loved that 95% of it in untranslated Spanish (I had CC on) was a giant middle finger to MAGA, and the production was impressive, but I'm not a huge fan of Reggaeton/Rap en Espanol. I knew a few of the songs from Bad Bunny's SNL appearances.

TBH, I think the entire half-time show ritual is overblown and takes too long. I'm watching for the football.
