Ay que rico!Two multi-talented performers, absolutely gorgeous Latina superstars!

Que mas queres? What a perfect venue to showcase our beautifully diverse tierra. The music, dancers, colorful costumes all added to a stellar production by Jayz. [See pbs half time show, at link below.] It was fantastic! Definitely added sabor, flavor to a pretty drab week--que no? Right? Lopez' daughter was a sweet addition.

In case you missed it..here it is:

Saw a lot of posts here indicating it was too risque. I did not think so.

A whole lot of booty-shaking talent!! Good medicine!

..that genre of music is not his favorite..that's how they do it..reminded him of Beyonce, Madonna's half time performance pretty did same.

He did say he enjoyed the fireworks. More importantly we agrred that they both have a huge platform, millions of fans and discussed political message that was threaded throughout halftime performance kids in cages, Lopez and her daughter singing "Shout it Out" about the abuse, the injustice and display of Puerto Rican flag depicting that it's a U.S. state and blatant neglect due to trumps racist views, policies toward the entire Hispanic community.

okay, they are both talented dancers but I would have preferred a little more fabric in the crotch area of the costumes and I'm really tired of the crotch level camera. That part was disappointing the rest was okay.

and within reach of all them crotches!

Bet he watched it though, and drooled a lot. And his fingers just ached . . .

Lot of super fit performers there, for sure!

But some might think it was a bit over the top. The only thing over the top would be the millions Pepsi spent on that.

I am female, and a feminist. I am discouraged to see a 15 minute performance that wouldn't be out of place in any cheap topless bar across America.

These are hugely talented women. Why are they stooping to this?

..Latina/Hispanic/Spanish communidad in U.S.,worldwide WE see our sensuality as beautiful, powerful; for the Hispanic community these two confident, successful women are the epitome of feminism.

Perhaps there is a misunderstanding of the cultural significance of women in our lives-- our madres, grandmothers, hermanas, extended famlia--we celebrate womanhood! Your offensive comment sought to lessen that, seemingly reflects rwtaking points..[see is a link..of an article with relevant video of powerful performance, with a strong political message presented and expressly threaded throughout their performances. Lopez, and Shakera brilliantly called out the injustices, the assault on the Hispanic community--It was powerful! While some were unfairely critiquing their performance, what they wore--millions of viewers got the message.

Buen dia, mi hermana. Paz.

Spent the second half trying to shake my bootie that fast. I need lessons or something. Didn’t help that my cheering section kept interjecting “Mom! No! Just No! Hard No! Stop!” 🤣🤣🤣

12. Amazing performances

I was thinking the caravans of brown people arrived. Beautiful people, Latinos, blacks and you know there were stunningly talented gay dancers. Tear down that wall Mr. Gorbachev.....I mean trump. Let that beautiful genetic superiority beautify this country. We need it to counter the visually disturbing fast food packed cotton hot pants wearing, "juicy" printed across the ass, muffin top bellied white genetic superior represented at Wal Mart. There must have been a lot of Budweiser spewed, cans thrown at TV's with that much Latino dominating halftime of America's game. Thank you Jennifer and Shakira, you represented peefectly.

16. Coulda done without the pole dance, but otherwise a great show. Still can't touch Beyonce though.

Beyoncé killed it...twice...without a stripper pole.

This has got to be the best Super Bowl half time show of all time:




And this is a close second:
