kay
They just released her mic recording and it shows her singing both Luther and ATS live, there were only 2 lines on Luther she didn't sing live, ppl just like playing with my girl😒
Herberth Sanchez
SZA had her mic on😭she changed the riff for All The Stars 😫😫😫
Ahmeed Aliyu
Don’t know if someone said already but the first song was the gnx snippet he dropped like 20 mins before the album. The other song you didn’t recognize was the last verse of man in the garden on the actual album
Romeo Bartley
this was so boring idc 😂
Tati
The game over at the end said it all
Josh B
To be fair to sza she was lip syncing for luther but was actually singing for all the stars

Kendrick didn't come to play! you hear me!? Drake it's just sad at this point my guy like...hang it up...go on head and retire sir. You made enough money, go buy and island in seclusion somewhere off the coast of some foreign country and live out the rest of your days in shame and embarrassment, po'thang. Now, I know everyone is here for the performance and the weight of it all and me too me too, but I just have to say..I never knew Kendrick was that thicc! Sir, them jeans fit mighty right in the thigh and behind region..I'm JUST saying..he small but kinda thick okay Kenthick! I see you! Lmao!! But, seriously this was everything I wanted and more! And I got from the symbolism, Samuel jackson as uncle sam saying that we as black folk do too much, and if we just tone it down we'd be accepted, then Kendrick going hard in spite of that, also with the flag, saying that we built this country we are just as if not more red white and blue than anyone else. The dancers all leaned at one point like we carried the country on our shoulders. That's what I got from it anyway.
Stizz
Bc people liked her performance. You are hating
Sachiii
Watching for the second time, Sza's lip sync is terrible I'm sorry 😭 and the way she's flopping around stage looks silly, interesting that ppl are saying she killed it or was the highlight
Shanice
YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!! SAYY DRAKEEE!!! MUSSSSTTTTTTTTTTAAAAARDDDDDDD!!! I was entertained! sighh. Thankss for reacting DEE! LOL, I was double entertained because your reactions are alwayssss entertaining and authentic!
India
in MY opinion the performance was ok. i don’t really think it was what many were expecting because i also saw people saying that it was mid or things like that but i give him props. I saw people saying that it was the best halftime performance ever but again it was ok it wasn’t really worth the hype. The only thing i enjoyed was sza and the minorrrr part.
Jalee Taylor
Lmaoo when you was going off about him not singing not like us im like Deeee just waiiittt sista🤣🤣🤣
Sachiii
That's not what I'm referencing, I'm disputing your false claim about the delay. Just stating that in person the crowd was delayed also, as there is video proof 🤣
Jalee Taylor
Go back at time stamp 7:44 the fake lil wayne when they was sitting down lol he’s at the bottom right. I didnt notice at first till i saw a tik tok on it.
Synical
I may be mixing the vocals and instruments up, I just know a large majority of singer performances are to a track. Idk why sza didn't sing then, maybe they didn't believe in her vocals lol
mondawmin mall
I'm saying it was a mix certain moments were live and others were pre recorded and others were straight from the record. There are moments where you can hear the breaths she takes at certain moments
Faith
And it’s not hard to hear the audience was clearly muted. You could barely hear them throughout the performance. Have a great day✌🏾
Jorden
Drake get offf the flooooorrrrr !!!!!! Once i saw Serena I was screaming !!!! Serena C walked right over Drakes career. GOAT TINGZZZZ
Meli
He is coming to Europe this summer🏃🏾♀️🏃🏾♀️🏃🏾♀️let’s gooooo
Kameron
The A minor chain killed me
Sharma Sue
What? Yall just be saying anything lmao that was an obvious lip sync, even vocal experts are online confirming such. So over you fake experts trying to inform ppl when you're clueless yourself 🙄
Kaydance P
I ki’d at her not remembering 😭
Shelby
Okay hair! Im loving this color! And I was screammingg yesterday to this. Every damn thing was symbolic.
mondawmin mall
Actually untrue about them not being allowed to sing. It's the playing instruments that they especially allowed Prince to do while performing. They usually don't want you playing instruments while trying to be the performer. In case you mess up, the backing ban is the one that plays the backing vocal track is what they selected to do
Sachiii
Most of us felt the same while watching 🤣
mondawmin mall
To correct you Dee, she is singing but they put auto-tune on her mic as well. That's a stylistic thing that she does even at her concerts. She sings into the mic but there's auto-tune on it. To clarify it is a mix of live, pre recorded, and studio vocals
Sachiii
Where'd you get this information from? I saw several live clips and videos on twitter and the crowd was just late in singing that line 💀 it's not hard to look up
tehut
This whole thing was so symbolic when I watched it back they both killed it super excited for how they tour together! Thanks for the great reaction as always Dee, as soon as I saw it I couldn't wait to see your reaction as well lol
Faith
Also they muted the crowd so you could hear Kendrick performing and the audio is on a 5 second delay so when they unmuted for the a minor part it was late. They shady as hell for unmuting for that 😂 I wish they didn’t mute the crowd at all cause supposedly the crowd was lit and rapping with him word for word
Dee Shanell
Lol she got all into it and sold that lip syncing though 😂 but yeah Kendrick def gave a great performance!
Donya Nyile
it’s the symbol for pgLang
Trudy
I was screaming!! That man is diabolical indeed😭🫶🏽
Dalilah Marie
So when he came out he was preforming the “GNX” visual snippet that came out before the album. Funny enough, that song has still not fully come out which leads a lot of people to suspect a deluxe or a second album!! When the guys were behind him with no track, he was singing “man at the garden” which was a phenomenal track on GNX! I loved this rendition of the song! With SZA, there definitely sounds to be backing tracks, but the mic was ON!! On both “All of the stars” and “Luther” I noticed slight changes in her key and elongation of notes as well! I love that Kendrick had both Drake’s Ex’s at the Super Bowl, and the way he smiled at the camera while saying Drake’s name was top tier diabolical behavior 🤣 I love the all black performance, I interpret it as a way to showcase how America is built off of black men and women in so many ways! An amazing piece of art for Black History Month and for the culture 🔥
KJay
He performed it said drakes name and did the A-minor lol
pimpdaddy
“Walk in New Orleans with etiquette of LA yelling 🗣️ MUSTAAAAAAARRDDDDD !!!!” This is one of my personal favorite Superbowl Halftime Shows ever
ZZBEN
Kendrick did great - but The only way I’d rewatch any performance is to see YOUR reaction. Love you Dee.
Kaydance P
I was waiting for this!❤️
Synical
Yea they usually don't let singers sing live and force you them to sing to a backtrack. Only artist they allowed was Prince. They had Alicia sing like on her usher feature but the TV version was playback lol. I know this because she cracked hard af on a note and that shit was gone on the rewatch lol
Yahali
Hey Drake with all teeth showing 😂😂
dalamirgo
It was hilarious😂I was like GURL IF YOU DON'T WAIT
hvcn zo
yall catched the stage was a playstation console, and at the and the GAME OVER xD that was epic. he ended the game on stage.
dalamirgo
He said "turn the tv off turn the tv off"😂you damn right we ain't watching the game. I also saw people saying that that was because of the rigged games. That there's no point in watching the game if it's rigged. Especially in combination with Samuel L. Jackson saying "scorekeeper, deduct one point"
Jackdeel
Dee I got some horrible news this morning and I really needed this reaction thanks ❤️
dalamirgo
When he said "the revolution is about to be televised, you picked the right moment but the wrong guy" I think that's about Trump or? LOVE IT
Cameron Rodriguez
I always love it when Dee’s emotions fluctuate mid video when questioning the performance 😭
Donya Nyile
the first song is from the gnx trailer just extended and the other song you couldn’t figure out where he mentioned “blood is just paint to me” is man at the garden from gnx
Shervier
Nah that’s a pgLang thing lol
Josh
I was shocked!!!! He ate!!
A Q
man this performance had me so litttt like 😂😂😂10/10 joceline Hernandez next year tho😂
Meli
Deeee!!!😭😭😭 we had the exact same reaction throughout the performance Especially with SZA lipsyncing🤣🤣 Kendrick got a lot of nerve to smile like that at the camera. This performance was amazing🤩 his work is so inspiring🏆🏆🏆
Shervier
The actual performance was great but I’m not really a fan of the song selection. I wish he did some more of his bigger songs like Money Trees and MAAD City
Smitty Benzo
The little "a" on K Dot's chain for "A minor". Dude is diabolical 😂
Dee Shanell
Ahh ok, I thought I recognized a couple of those bars. That beat is hard, he should’ve used this one lol
Dee Shanell
I think it’s still possible we get it 🤞🏾
Dee Shanell
Yasss much love 🤗
Jai
Me smiling the whole time knowing Kendrick was going to perform not like us
Dee Shanell
Lmaoo I didn’t have to take my frustration out on her like that 😂
Analyn Camacho
The only reaction that’s worth waiting for love you Dee. 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
𝐫𝐚𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐝
SJSKFKDKD “girl shut up” 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 DEE I CANTNTTTTTT
Monte
Too fire 🔥🔥🔥
Salima
No cause the way I was grinning ear to ear when I was watching the performance😂😂. Drake really fucked around and found out, the HARD way.
clarence.
LISTEN: we witnessed a MURDER last night. And everybody was dancing on the grave😂🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🤌🏾 5 Grammy's Last Sunday, and now this. K-DOT DID WHAT NEEDED TO BE DONE!!!!
Cameron Rodriguez
Would’ve loved some other albums besides GNX but still great, was expecting some TPAB or GKMC
Faith
I noticed on my 4th watch that I haven’t seen anyone point out is the X. The feud really heated up once Drake mentioned Kendrick’s family which made Kendrick turn around and do the same thing=Family feud and Uncle Sam saying deduct one life and Kendrick moving to perform in the X =XXX the 1 body drake allegedly has on his hands
Jay
Sza was the highlight!! She needed more time 🤩
annoyedsquire
Dee with hotep bars, I see you 😂😂😂 resonating with the higher vibrations and all that 😂😂😂 Broccoli is man made type shit haha
Tiffany
That's man in the garden with a different beat with all the guys behind him at the lightpost. I love how it was so black with trump in the audience too. He left right after the halftime lol
annoyedsquire
The first song was a YouTube snippet for GNX when he rolled out the albums
Trevion
When I tell you this was ART! All the subs he did and then ACTUALLY performed NLU! The LOOK AT THE CAM!! SZA hitting that note in All The Stars!! This was great🙂↕️
Xakwon Harris
the fact that Kendrick had both of Drake’s exes on stage was diabolical
Izzyarsenio
"Thanks for the information you provided, Dee Shanell. You have spoken well on the topic at hand" - Message from not-a-bot 😆😆😆
𝐫𝐚𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐝

Nikima Carter
