This coming February 8, Bad Bunny will bring "Pe Erre" to the screens of millions of viewers during the Super Bowl LIX halftime show, making him the first Latino man to headline that musical event.
Whether you're rooting for the New England Patriots, the Seattle Seahawks, or you just want to enjoy Conejo Malo's set, we asked our community: Who should Bad Bunny bring to the Super Bowl?
Here are the most repeated answers.
Marc Anthony
In 2018, Bad Bunny released "Está rico" with Marc Anthony and Black American actor and singer Will Smith. The track is a natural fit for the Super Bowl show, with its mix of Latin rhythms, Spanish-language trap and English-language rap.
If the singer closes with his version of "Preciosa," as he did during the "No Me Quiero Ir de Aquí" residency, it would be a culturally significant moment for Puerto Ricans.
Rauw Alejandro
Nicknamed "El Zorro," Rauw Alejandro is the Bad Bunny contemporary no one wants to miss on stage, with danceable tracks like "Party" and "Qué Pasaría." His "Cosa Nuestra: Capítulo 0" tour elevated Puerto Rican pride with rhythms ranging from reggaetón to bomba.
Jennifer López
In 2018, Bad Bunny and Jennifer López released "Te Gusté," a track with a relaxed, sensual, tropical feel. Two years later, Conejo was one of the guest artists at the Pepsi Super Bowl LIV, where he rapped his segment of "I Like It," a song he wrote with Cardi B and J Balvin, and "Callaita" with Shakira, who headlined the halftime show alongside JLo.
Perhaps this year the well-known "Jenny From The Block" will appear as a guest artist with some of her classics, like "On The Floor" and "Let's Get Loud."
Jowell y Randy
Los Más Sueltos always put on a tremendous show with their extensive catalog, spanning about 25 years of musical history. Among their collaborative tracks, "Safaera" with Bad Bunny and Ñengo Flow stands out as a fan favorite capable of bringing the house down with its ultra-danceable beat.
Daddy Yankee
The halftime show wouldn't be epic without the presence of a veteran superstar like El Jefe and Big Boss of the genre. Beyond performing tracks like "La Santa," "Vuelve" and "X Última Vez," we expect "La Gasolina" to make an appearance, a Latin anthem that has shaken dance floors around the world since 2004.
Cardi B
Another standout Bad Bunny track from 2018 was "I Like It" with Cardi B and J Balvin. The song is not only danceable, it carries an intrinsic mix of Latino identity that gets you moving at any party where it plays.
El Gran Combo
This orchestra needs no introduction. Hearing El Gran Combo perform the intro to "NuevaYoL" alongside the classic "Un Verano en Nueva York" in the middle of the show would be a historic milestone.
Ednita Nazario
La Diva Ponceña sang "LO QUE LE PASÓ A HAWAii" at the sixth show of Bad Bunny's residency last summer. Her iconic voice elevated the Puerto Rican pride projected by the song's melancholic lyrics, which makes her a candidate to reprise her performance at the Super Bowl.
Elvis Crespo
Although Conejo Malo and the King of Merengue have no track together, Bad Bunny does pay tribute to the original "Suavemente" (1999) music video in his video for "Neverita" (2022), dancing against '90s-style backdrops. The final scene even includes text that reads: "En honor al mejor video de todos los tiempos."
Bruno Mars
Although these two superstars share no musical tracks, they share the same Latino heritage. Bruno Mars, whose father is Puerto Rican, has expressed pride in his Puerto Rican roots on multiple occasions.
In addition to performing at the Coliseo de Puerto Rico in 2011 and 2013, Mars took part in the "One Voice: Somos Live!" telethon for victims of Hurricane María in 2017, where he performed "Just The Way You Are" in Spanish.
Pitbull
Pitbull and Bad Bunny have no songs together. Even so, the Cuban-born singer is known for his infectious, danceable music and for having a fun fan base that often dresses in blazers to match the artist. Pitbull as a guest would make for a top-tier Latin party.
