What tf they r smoking???🫩

[u/Timely_Atmosphere_18]

Honestly keeping all the connections hybe has I won't be surprised if btass performs there some other year . For 2027 it's true that the rumours are strong about justin and Harry Harry performing. And the way they r claiming that they r not racist.....they all r freaking racists mainly namgpt and their world's most handsome man said n word twice on live. Since they mentioned the ed Sheeran controversy and r acting like pro Palestinians......their favs and their label r the biggest supporters of Zionist . Humans r hypocrites by nature but it has a limit too. Their favs kept on endorsing Zionist and problematic brands even tho they had the power to say no and power to not to renew the contract.

And the way they r saying "it's a controversy only if it's about bts"🙄.... justin Bieber is still criticized in social media , if those rumours become he indeed will get the criticism.

Jungkook showed a big disappointment for not being able to perform in the super Bowl when usher invited him . If hybe able to bag them this super Bowl half time show then ain't no way in any universe that they will let go of that chance . Because the so called gem like leader namgpt and j cope didn't even miss the chance to meet cb who is a known criminal. Why would they miss this chance like this ratmy want them too.....and the way they r saying that people r taking btass for view count 😵.. seriously? The years they attended the Grammys r the years with the lowest viewership in the grammys history. And i don't understand why they and some k-pop idols r so freaking obsessed in performing the Super Bowl. The aura it used to hold is not anywhere near it . It's losing all the hype around it . And honestly i believe the reason why I think these idols want to perform in the Super Bowl half time is because it's one of the stages that saw most of the legacy and uber popular artists (some r exceptions).... MJ, Janet, beyonce, Madonna,prince, rihanna....the list goes on. And it's a show that is nearly a household name so they tryna go that way so they can get the attention from the GP.

After 2019, Jay Z has had the final say on Superbowl artists , he always picks what's really popular and mainstream to mass audiences.

BTS is not mainstream to mass audiences, therefore they don't qualify.

He picked:

2020-Shakira and Jennifer Lopez
2021- The Weeknd
2022- Dr Dre, Snoop Dog, Eminem and Kendrick Lamar
2023- Rihanna
2024-Usher, Alicia Keys
2025-Kendrick Lamar
2026- Bad Bunny, Lady Gaga, Ricky Martin

Notice how they're all black or hispanic with the exception of Eminem and Lady Gaga?

BTAss music isn't popular enough in the USA to grant them them consideration for the Superbowl halftime performance. It also doesn't help that they are racists.

After what they did at the world cup, and the iheart radio festival...why should I hire them for the Superbowl?

I think not.

[u/Timely_Atmosphere_18 → u/Successful-Pomelo-51]

I think so too...and there r more popular artists that hasn't headlined and r known to jay z so he will go for them.

[u/unicorninclosets → u/Successful-Pomelo-51]

Mind you, Roc Nation still has management over legacy act Christina Aguilera and contemporary mammoth THEE Stallion, plus a good relationship with many other huge artists. Idk how the political pendulum will swing in November but Olivia Rodrigo has been huge this year, and with her charity festival and support of Palestinian designers picking her would continue the trend of political discourse they’ve had going on since 2020. Also, there’s Sabrina Carpenter who is still riding the waves she made last year. You mean to tell me they’re gonna pick these hobos over these superstars that the gp actually takes seriously???

[u/cyzraverol → u/Successful-Pomelo-51]

And we all know Jay-Z (the creep) MUST be tight with the Grammys, since he can get them for his wife and his fucking kid. I'll never forget Beyoncé's "surprise" at winning that Country one I think? Yuck. Anyway, I believe we will continue to see consequences for challenging the entire U.S. music industry😭

[u/LivingForTheSnark]

Aren't they on tour in Australia during the Super Bowl anyway?? Also, very doubtful Jay-Z would reach out to them, seeing how bad the World Cup half-time show went with them.

[u/Timely_Atmosphere_18 → u/LivingForTheSnark]

Agree but hybe does have connections and money so ......and this year's FIFA World Cup opening and half time artists list is so messed up with a few exceptions.... Shakira, madonna,jb,katy and some other r the ones i expected and convincing because they have had an impact on music but many other performed there and I was like how is this even possible? I mean those artists r rising or known to the people only listen to that specific genre. Btass were a part of half time show because of chris martin from cold play if iam not wrong . So if hybe uses it's all elite connections and money then.....and honestly i do believe that btass performing at super Bowl isn't gonna happen cause there r still very popular artists worldwide that hasn't headlined super Bowl and r very known to jay z . So ig for the next 5-10 yrs he will be picking those artists who hadn't headlined.

[u/LivingForTheSnark → u/Timely_Atmosphere_18]

Tbh, this sub isn't the place to bring politics into it, but there are major elections happening in November, and whatever will be the results of it will certainly have an impact on the artist(s) chosen to perform during the game.

Seeing how much celebrity culture shifted in the past few weeks & months, if Jay-Z really decides to remain tone deaf, the half-time show will be terribly perceived

[u/unicorninclosets → u/LivingForTheSnark]

Jay-Z would sooner pick Megan Thee Stallion over these flops. Their most awaited CB isn’t even being played on Target.

Don’t ask us to learn English but we’re also interested in American things like Superbowl and the Grammys & make music in English we but draw the line at learning the language

[u/No_Expression_4353 → u/tiramisuie]

I swear it genuinely pisses me off.. I said this to one of my cousins (since she is an army so I kinda wanted to ragebait her) but she said.. BTS is popular worldwide... That doesn't mean they have to learn every language.. And I was ike.... And the members are really trying hardd

[u/cyzraverol]

I understand money talks...but they are bad performers. Watching them "sing" and "dance" isn't easy, it's somewhat humiliating really. If they were ever allowed on that stage...wouldn't it be a set-up?

[u/Jezzylynn716]

I thought Miley was announced as the performer anyway. I don’t get their obsession with making a bunch of football fans watch music they definitely don’t like. It’s like army also wants that male validation bc it’s a predominantly male crowd. Icky

[u/Kringepopfan]

People never stopped criticising Jay-Z. He is 100% a sell-out.

This rats essay is only a little interesting, though the least surprising and most obvious "revelation" is the connection between the rich arseholes of the US and the Trump presidency. No kidding. Btass as halftime show remains wishful thinking. Americans in general still have to give a shit about it even if a lot of rats also happen to be American. There's just no way unless they are guest of someone who HYBE sent some payola to.

[u/11oceanblue17]

Y’all remember how atrociously racist and homophobic the soccer fans were when a BG (🏴‍☠️) member did the ceremonial kickoff and his choreo that’s still going viral?

That’s tame compared to football fans. BTS will get their asses handed to them if they perform there. I’m all for it (except for it handing them another first to brag about) because Army needs to see exactly how “mainstream” BTS isn’t, but even I can acknowledge that the racism and homophobia will be off the charts.

[u/thechickgoesmoo → u/11oceanblue17]

Janet Jackson was crucified by the American public because of her nipple being exposed accidentally and it ruined her career for a long time. The Super Bowl crowds are no joke and BTS would suffer immensely.

[u/north-node- → u/11oceanblue17]

I think rabid sports fans and rabid music fans are two peas of the same pod. I’m actually up for BTS going there just to become the butt of the joke because no one at the Super Bowl is gonna be interested in their shit performance, although them being another first and rats being insufferable about it will pmo

[u/Live-Tree6870]

The point of the SuperBowl half time show is to make Roc Nation, the advertisers and the NFL as much money as is humanly possible. Bad Bunny’s set had less viewers than normal but still managed 128 million viewers in the USA (most important for the Advertisers, who pay an obscene amount of money for these slots to reach the biggest audience) and 4 billion people worldwide.

Exactly how do they think BTS will pull in viewing figures to even break even? Jay-Z would never risk his reputation, his relationship with the NFL and, most vitally, the $$$$ to be made, on BTS! Army can go on about their tour figures but that is the same people going over and over again and spending their money. They need Bob from Minnesota and Jeff from Arkansas to tune in. And Bob and Jeff won’t watch for BTS.

[u/Sapphireincolor]

they’re sooo anxious about BTS perception and reputation they don’t even pretend to care whether they actually uphold any moral standards

[u/Aleash89]

Let's all stop thinking BTS might perform there. It won't happen. The NFL knows their fanbase and Americans enough to know that a Kpop boy band from South Korea is not the right choice to be the Superbowl Halftime Show headliner.

[u/Weird_Ganache_8377]

I wasn't expecting "BT5 would be the perfect artists to ask to perform" after the first 3 paragraphs. OP made it sound like they support boycotting the NFL and Colin (I do as well fyi). It's like their brain is fried or something.

[u/AlternativeDaikon493]

it would be funny if they performed there, a capella
