Gee Demands Change in Super Bowl Halftime Performer
The upcoming Super Bowl halftime show will showcase Bad Bunny, a Grammy Award-winning artist. This announcement has sparked significant controversy, leading to a petition that has garnered over 10,000 signatures for his removal. The petition suggests that country music legend George Strait should take his place.
Controversy Over Super Bowl Halftime Performer
KIRO Newsradio host Gee Scott shared his opinions during a recent broadcast of “The Gee and Ursula Show.” He expressed his frustration with the choice of Bad Bunny as the performer. Scott noted that while his daughter is a fan, he finds it difficult to relate to the selection.
Public Response and Alternative Suggestions
Scott emphasized a growing sentiment among many viewers who desire a change in the musical direction of the show. He recalled past performers, including:
- Shakira and Jennifer Lopez in 2020
- The Weeknd in 2021
- Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, and Eminem in 2022
- Kendrick Lamar last year
Reflecting on these selections, Scott remarked, “People are thinking, ‘Can we get something for us next time?’” He questioned the decision-making process, specifically addressing Jay Z, who has influence over the lineup.
Need for Diverse Representation
The call for a different performer aims to represent a wider audience. “Give some love,” Scott urged, pointing out that choices like Kendrick Lamar and Bad Bunny leave certain viewers confused. This highlights the ongoing debate regarding musical diversity in high-profile events.
