Inappropriate dancing in Super Bowl LIV

Jennifer Lopez and Shakira’s historic Super Bowl halftime show has been a huge talking point since it went down on January and it also drew more than 1,300 complaints to the Federal Communications.The singers dancing was considered inappropriate due to pole dancing a very explicit clothing. 3 On Your Side reviewed the documents and discovered 42 of those complaints came from Arizona.

Fernanda Delira said “the show was inappropriate family viewing without any warning”.

In 14 explosive minutes on Sunday, they sang in English and Spanish. They tossed their hips back and forth, pulsed their chests and shook their bodies in athletic feats that rivaled those in the actual game. They shared airtime with J Balvin and Bad Bunny, a superstar Latin music pairing in its own right. They danced reggaeton, salsa, champeta and mapale. They took turns expressing their own personal stories, weaving in nods to Barranquilla, Colombia, and the Bronx. The performance, an unabashed celebration of Latin culture in the most American of contexts, was unlike anything else ever seen by such a wide audience. For this Dominican American, and for many others like me, it spurred conversations about Latino identity in a rapidly changing country. Monica Favela said” I love that type of people because they show a good Latina spirit”.

The halftime show  was polarizing, and it was obvious on social media immediately. While many said the performance was too vulgar for network TV, J-Lo and Shakira fans sang the praises of the performance and said it showed strong, talented, energetic women. To put it in perspective, the FCC received more than half a million complaints following Janet Jackson’s 2004 Super Bowl wardrobe malfunction. Her words, delivered at a news conference alongside Jennifer Lopez last week, announced the intention behind this year’s halftime performance. The first two Latinas to headline music’s biggest show together would stomp, shout and spread the word that they belong on that stage, too. Yvonee Andrade said “these two women were trying to own the stage and show their true Latina”.
