There were a lot of great performances at the 2019 Video Music Awards, but one certainly left fans scratching their heads more than others. In fact, J Balvin and Bad Bunny’s 2019 VMAs performance of "Qué Pretendes" was so trippy, it was basically a video game, and it had people on Twitter comparing it to all kinds of animations.
The duo took the stage towards the end of the night, performing their new single "Qué Pretendes" wearing exaggerated cartoon costumes, which involved making their torsos perfectly round, their hands enormous, and their legs thin as toothpicks. It was sort of a cake pop silhouette, if you will. And, while it might have thrown some viewers for a loop, it certainly added to the surreal and fun vibe of the song. A few days before his performance, J Balvin spoke to MTV News’ Dometi Pongo and promised to put on a performance that would make history. "If it’s not the best one," he teased of his upcoming performance, "it’s the top two." Well, that is certainly up for debate — after all this night alone included jaw-dropping performances from Missy Elliott and Lizzo — but J Balvin and Bad Bunny definitely delivered a performance fans won’t forget.
The performance, complete with a dancing cartoon star and giant, cartoon-like cacti, felt like it was straight out of a cartoon or a video game. In fact, it reminded many fans of one video game character in particular, with many on Twitter comparing the two artists to Dr. Ivo ‘Eggman’ Robotnik of Sonic the Hedgehog fame.
