Jessica Alba's Super Bowl Halftime Performance Draws Fan Criticism
Football fans and social media users have heavily criticised actress Jessica Alba for her dancing skills during her appearance on stage at the Super Bowl LX halftime show. The 44-year-old star joined Bad Bunny's performance at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California, but many observers noted her seemingly reserved and uncoordinated movements compared to other celebrities on stage.
Social Media Backlash Over Alba's Dance Moves
Social media platforms, particularly X (formerly Twitter), erupted with comments about Alba's performance, with many users not holding back in their assessments. One user wrote, 'Jessica Alba is an imposter! She can’t even rock side to side on beat lol,' while another bluntly stated, 'It’s Jessica Alba still not knowing how to dance.' The criticism was widespread, with multiple users expressing frustration at what they perceived as her lack of energy and rhythm.
Another social media comment highlighted the irony of her performance, referencing her 2003 dance film Honey: 'WHY JESSICA ALBA UP THERE ACTING LIKE SHE CANT DANCE…… BABE YOU PLAYED HONEY??' This comparison to her previous role as a dancer in the film made the criticism particularly pointed for many observers.
Celebrity-Filled Super Bowl Event
The halftime show occurred during the championship game between the Seattle Seahawks and New England Patriots, competing for the Lombardi Trophy. The event attracted numerous high-profile celebrities in attendance, including Kim Kardashian, Justin and Hailey Bieber, Adam Sandler, and Jay-Z, creating a star-studded atmosphere at the stadium.
Alba joined fellow stars Cardi B, Pedro Pascal, and Karol G on stage during Bad Bunny's performance, dressed in a white corset tank top and jeans among background dancers. However, multiple social media users pointed out that she appeared more timid and less animated than her fellow performers, barely putting much motion into her routine.
Bad Bunny's Historic Halftime Performance
Bad Bunny's selection as the Super Bowl halftime performer in September had already generated controversy, particularly within certain political circles. The Puerto Rican artist, who sings predominantly in Spanish, made history as the first solo Latin headliner to lead a Super Bowl halftime show, though he had previously appeared as a guest during the 2020 Super Bowl LIV halftime show with Jennifer Lopez and Shakira.
The performance came just one week after Bad Bunny made Grammy Awards history by winning Album of the Year for Debí Tirar Más Fotos, marking the first time a Spanish-language LP has received this prestigious honor. During his emotional acceptance speech, delivered mostly in Spanish, Bad Bunny dedicated the award to immigrants and those who have left their homelands to pursue their dreams, alluding to ICE raids across the United States.
Despite the historic nature of Bad Bunny's performance and his recent Grammy success, much of the immediate social media conversation focused on Jessica Alba's dancing, with comments ranging from humorous observations to genuine frustration about her perceived lack of performance energy during the high-profile event.
