(13,913 posts)Shakira was quite entertaining. She is clearly very talented and has awesome dance skills. In her 40s & still able to do slinky moves like that - it goes without saying no Latino dancing is without alot of hip movement but she takes it to a whole new level. JLo on the other hand is too old to be doing what she did - the faux crotch grabbing (she did that multiple times on skimpy clothing that to me were wierd and didn't look good on her), too many shots of her crotch, rump and excessive thighs. Shakira's dancing was sensual but tasteful. JLo's was just dirty. She is a stunningly beautiful woman but there's gotta be some limit to the oversexualization. It was not a family event. I did like it that she had kids on the program but goodness, throw some clothes on around the kids. What's she trying to teach these kids?
That said, i have to say the Latin/global music & dancing were AMAZING! 2 high profile Latina women gyrating & singing at the top of their lungs. That in itself was a statement of the NFL's support of diversity, and rejection of the nationalist, anti-femininity nonsense. The birdcase, flags, and about half the lyrics sung in Spanish all were were subtle digs to this horrid administration.
The ladies sure brought their game. The internet was crazy feverish with the half time show more than the Chiefs' win LOL.
