2 Headliners Instead of 1?
There is a big question that stirs up controversy for this performance: why two headliners instead of one? Historically, the job or marketing of the Super Bowl Halftime show was for one person. Did the industry believe two Latinas were more marketable than one? Is there a need to be double the headliners to represent the Latinx community? Did the industry believe one Latina could not get the job done herself?
In the Halftime documentary JLo speaks out and says, "We have six f---ing minutes. We have 30 seconds of a song, and if we take a minute, that's it, we've got five left. But, there's got to be certain songs that we sing, though. We have to have our singing moments. It's not going to be a dance f---ing revue. We have to sing our message. [....] This is the worst idea in the world to have two people do the Super Bowl. It was the worst idea in the world".
There seems to be an underlying doubt or motive that came with the decision. JLo expressed her concern to the administration regarding the situation as it is almost insulting to double the headliners when every year prior had one star.
