Omg I didn't know he passed!! We lost a legend. One of my first drumming inspirations. Usher absolutely annihilated this performance, happy to hear he honored Aaron this way.
Usher delivered. He gave us our entire teenage and university lives back in 13 mins. The transition between his upbeat and slow anthems was fantastic. Bravo!!!!
It reminds us how much work, history, and influence these artists have had in our lives with these songs. Some that I wouldn't be able recall off rip... But when the tune kicked in I was back in 7th period yo... Then at the end... At the club when clubbing had good dancing music throughout the entire night..

Usher once said in an interview that MJ told him he respected him cause of how he could sing and dance at the same time and he knows exactly how hard that is. This coming from his idol meant more to Usher than any award. Now look at this once in a lifetime show - he definitely SANG & DANCED with all of his heart 😭 LEGEND 💐
People saying “these are Michael moves not Ushers” who the hell do you think taught Usher to dance? Usher used to look up to him growing up and would study his moves and in 2001, they had a dance off sharing the stage. And a few years prior to Mj’s death they did a few events together and he learned a lot from him. So obviously he had inspired dance moves from Michael.

I love that Usher chose to share his moment to shine by bringing with him so many artists that he teamed up with to make these songs that many of us grew up with. He doesn’t forget his friends, that’s class there.
People don't realize the homage and respect Usher brought to the old school half-time shows and the venue. Marching bands were a staple of half-time shows and was long forgotten and brought it back and showed the dazzle and glamor of acrobatic performances Vegas is famous for. All blended together with his old school music and bringing the original performers for his hits rather than doing it solo.
I just noticed that when Usher starts singing Nice and Slow, just at the ''at 7 o'clock'' part, his ''shadow'' points to number 7 on the clock. Nice detail.
Also,in that moment, he pretty much showed love to the teacher who went viral for going around asking her colleagues at her school to fill in the blank. " What was Usher doing @ 7:00?" Usher said that he had so many hidden nuggets in his show. Lol
Can confirm he can carry a lot of grocery bags. I used to work at the grocery store his mom frequented. When he would come with her he would carry them to the car for her. Their relationship is so sweet!
I just skimmed thru the comments but I didn't see anyone commend the marching band. They did a phenomenal job as well and I bet it was an honor to be selected.
They were amazing!! The whole ensemble complimented the show perfectly! I'm sure everyone is patting themselves on the back rn. Perfect balance of raw real spectacular talent and entertainment!
Probably one of the best Superbowl performances. These songs are reminiscent of my childhood, teenage years, and adulthood all in one performance. Usher has been in the game for long time and is truly a master of his craft.
Live singing while dancing is extremely difficult and this man added SKATES to that equation and executed beautifully!!! An incredible show from an incredible musician.
He knows his audience and he knows his ability to transcends audience he didn’t need to cater to the kids cuz the kids know enough of his music. He knew what the ppl wanted.
@@carlapack5837Usher is probably the first to thank his mother during a halftime performance, unless I’m mistaken. So to ME, it was thoughtful and special. 🤎
@@TonyaGarnetto-pe8mnthat’s my main complaint. I just feel like he should’ve gotten more time. I feel like it started off sort of weak but towards the middle he picks it up and it’s amazing. Then it ends.
I never been a fan of usher but this is just insane. This puts all other half time shows to shame. I would hate to be the one to do the next half time show.
As a millennial I've had a blast watching the halftime shows in recent years. It's one legend after another. Brings back so many memories. Usher did amazing!!
Now, that’s what you call a singer! My whole life wrapped up in his career, from high school to clubbing in my 20s 30s, and today there was an usher song for each period of my life.
Same, from middle school to adulthood. The night of the Super Bowl, I said my elder millennial heart has melted all over the floor with this performance. ❤
The fact he was able to squeeze 30 years of his career into a 13 minute show and bring in not one but 6 different artists is truly phenomenal. This man will forever be a legend. On a different note I’m surprised he didn’t sing “I Don’t Mind” “DJ Got Us Falling In Love” and/or “Good Kisser”
@@Sabir-40You're being DELIBERATELY obtuse. 🙄 While it's true that "every" Superbowl performer invites other guest artists to perform with them, _how many_ of those performers invite *6* guests to perform?? Two or 3 at most, but _6?!_ We _get_ it; you're one of "those" types who only want a "particular" type of artist performing at this show. 🙄
Usher is such a showman!!! His stage presence is UNMATCHED! The quick tribute pieces to Teddy P, Marvin Gaye, and The Jackson 5 was incredible. He's been singing since 13 and hes 45 . The breath control, on skates!!! USHER-THE-MIC-IS-ALWAYS-ON-RAYMOND is in fact...A LEGEND.👑
usher gave us want we wanted!! artists don't do it like this anymore. this is the best 2000s throwback i've seen. loved the singing, dancing, rollerskates, marching band, electric guitar AND piano moment and sooo much more, truly perfection. thanks usher and everyone behind this performance.
I think some people missed the fact that he showcased and gave platform to a lot...artists gone but never to be forgotten MJ, Prince...HBCUs (band), skaters, dancers...his early career song w/Alicia Keys...AND importantly he addresses his Mom!! He didn't make it just about him. He celebrated the accomplishments of others!! AND The talent and skills of the stage and lighting crew, outfits and behind the scenes people helpng with changing, etc. in 13 to 15 mins👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 I shout out Phenomenal Job!!!
I'd be honored if some fans of late 70s/early 80s groove would take a listen to my low-fi acoustic piano & vocal performances of SAIL ON by Lionel Richie, SEPTEMBER by Earth Wind & Fire, and THE PINA COLADA SONG by Rupert Holmes on my YT in tribute to the legends. Live acoustic with no autotune. Peace and keep on grooving in the '020s.
When the performers look like they're having fun, it makes me enjoy the show even more! Everyone looked so happy to be up there. Definitely made the Millennial in me happy!
I can’t stop watching this. I smile every time, try to dance along. Even if I wasn’t born and raised in the A, I’d still be proud. Pure talent, it gets better every time I watch it!!!!!
I attended Usher Las Vegas Residency and this is the same energy he gives at his shows. The greatest performer in the World. Happy he is touring this year.
I sure hope he does better singing! Because this was not Usher on his A game with his vocals at all don't get me wrong. I absolutely love him and I have everything he has ever put out but he absolutely let everyone out shine him at this superbowl with his voice.
Except he cant sing for sht 😂 that was terrible, plus hes just an MJ ripoff poser and doesnt even play instruments.. anothr hack to entertain the simple 😂
watch the broadcast then rewatch this. They're different. For example, at 4:01 in the broadcast version her voice cracks on the word "some", but they edited it out in this version. Edit: The performance is great, i don’t like that they edited it because it makes it not actually live
When this came out it got so many judgements because of his skating and the glitter. BRO hes a performerr! Hes amazing Put some respect on Usher's name. Hes a legend. He was a big part of why the 90's and early 2000 was amazing.
I appreciated the Usher giving props to Michael Jackson and Prince in the show. Him wearing the one glove and H.E.R. coming out with her guitar. Just amazing show.
Usher literally brought Atlanta to the Super Bowl!!! From the marching bands, to the skaters, to the strippers, all the way to some of our great artists and producers!!! This was a great and very energetic show!!!❤❤❤❤ I really enjoyed it!
All these new performers should learn from USHER! Still in the game and even on top of the GAME! Amazing performer, Talented singer. I grew up with his Music. What a showman!
And he's still taking his shirt off every time he performs. The man got some moves, and watching him perform some anthems from my childhood was awesome. I was jammin the whole time like I was 12 years old again (I was 12 when confessions was released)
Walked into a indoor playground last night with my son. All the tvs were on the halftime show...and every parent was in front of them dancing like they were in their 20s and back at the club 😂.
Just WOW. Usher is the GOAT, but shoutout to Whoever choreographed this performance, they understood the assignment! From Vegas Showgirls to the marching band and all the details in-between like the clock and reveal of Alicia, Lil Jon partying in the pit pole dancers and all the coordinating lights. Just perfection.
Usher choreographed that wine set up. He works super hard late into the night hours to make sure every person shines brightly and is humble enough to share the spotlight.
Why does Usher look like he hasn't aged in the last 25 years. I literally remember seeing him as a kid back in the 90s. We're in 2024 and he looks exactly the same as he did when I was 12 years old in 98 watching him on MTV. Alicia Keys also looks flawless as well, she's rocking the hell out of that red outfit. Hearing Usher sing all these songs you realize how many hits he has, the crazy part is I can literally sing along to every single song he sang. That's how talented he is and has been over the years.
He still got the dance moves to Yes I was singing everyone of the songs I was like wow & that wasn't all the songs & the part wit him roller skating that took it up a notch for me I loved it all I didn't won't it to end
Their seemingly ageless appearance comes from [SRA] blood magic, and whereas it may prolong the body while it remains “alive” on the earth-the practice of such things, does [most unfortunately] send the soul straight to hell!
those first 4 notes of "yeah" just brings out the immediate, almost primal, reaction of me back in middle school RUSHING to the floor to dance or roller skate rink. just screaming haha great memories.
USHER IS A LEGEND 🔥
Yeah!
Let Him Cook!!
Ok so I ate a raccoon
All these star performers came together tonight and actually made sense, unlike Maroon 5 and others years ago lol

There's a good reason he was sweating like crazy. Don't blame him. When you're really moving and singing that has to take it out of you.

Exactly. And why wouldn’t Usher pay homage to MJ with his moves. Idk what’s wrong with these ppl. It’s showing love and respect.
Did no one hear the beat he played that was Can You Feel It by the Jackson 5 🤷
Because it’s like when you want a Dr Pepper and instead you get a diet Dr thunder from a gas station.

I'd be honored if some fans of late 70s/early 80s groove would take a listen to my low-fi acoustic piano & vocal performances of SAIL ON by Lionel Richie, SEPTEMBER by Earth Wind & Fire, and THE PINA COLADA SONG by Rupert Holmes on my YT in tribute to the legends. Live acoustic with no autotune. Peace and keep on grooving in the '020s.
Legendary
When the performers look like they're having fun, it makes me enjoy the show even more! Everyone looked so happy to be up there. Definitely made the Millennial in me happy!
The audience were having fun. Singing along, screaming etc. I don't know when last you've seen a concert where that shyt has happened..
Hi..... greetings dear
Glad to hear from you.
I appreciate your love care and support.
Where are you watching from?
@fbexposedthe halftime performing artists are not paid. Everyone knows that.
I can’t stop watching this. I smile every time, try to dance along. Even if I wasn’t born and raised in the A, I’d still be proud. Pure talent, it gets better every time I watch it!!!!!
Me too, I watch it every day.
This performance took me back to 2004. Man what a performance. When ludacris and lil Jon came out!!!!!! What a throwback.
WITH the fro too!!
Same here! Am I the only one who teared up?
should've stayed in 2004

I attended Usher Las Vegas Residency and this is the same energy he gives at his shows. The greatest performer in the World. Happy he is touring this year.
I AINT READING ALLAT🗣️🔥🔥
th-cam.com/video/XejBlTqIhHY/w-d-xo.htmlsi=TRT6ljmeexUvubQK ❤
I also, attended his Vegas residency and what you said is FACTS 💯
I sure hope he does better singing! Because this was not Usher on his A game with his vocals at all don't get me wrong. I absolutely love him and I have everything he has ever put out but he absolutely let everyone out shine him at this superbowl with his voice.
People watching in December 2024
Ludacris looked at Usher like he was so proud 🥹
love both of them 😊 Chris is soooo cute😀
he sings and dances while roller skating. taking us back to 2000's. pure legend. true icon.
Except he cant sing for sht 😂 that was terrible, plus hes just an MJ ripoff poser and doesnt even play instruments.. anothr hack to entertain the simple 😂
Lol people were doing this way before usher and the 2000s.
The dancing, the skating, Usher’s smile, Usher’s body…..PHENOMENAL performance👏🏽💪🏾😘🏆
But not his singing 😅😂
But not his singing 😅😂
That smile says it all❤
His sweaty body is amazing
@@Someone-kg4rxI'm a guy, but yum.
Mic was ON 🗣️🎤 can’t nobody do it like ursher baby
I was born in 85 and this performance IS the soundtrack for my high school and college days. Like a stroll down memory lane. That was really amazing.
I’m saying
💯💯💯 Me too
lol same, between this Super Bowl and last year's with Riri, that's half of the music I danced to
Me too!
1986! 🙋🏽♀️
Can we appreciate the fact that he sings LIVE..That is rare nowadays 🙌🙌
YEAH! YEAH!
That what i think
He is from the Era where you needed real talent 😊
The Weeknd did it
watch the broadcast then rewatch this. They're different. For example, at 4:01 in the broadcast version her voice cracks on the word "some", but they edited it out in this version.
Edit: The performance is great, i don’t like that they edited it because it makes it not actually live
My whole childhood in one video 👏🏽
You need to grow up
You need to get out some more lol 😆
Cringe virgins hating here lmao
Man what😂😂😂
Luda lil john usher was having the world tuning into atl people mad besides outkast and ti
When this came out it got so many judgements because of his skating and the glitter. BRO hes a performerr! Hes amazing Put some respect on Usher's name. Hes a legend. He was a big part of why the 90's and early 2000 was amazing.
Can we just take a second to acknowledge the talent of the dancer at the beginning of LITERALLY DOING POSES AND BALANCING ONE SOMEONE'S HEAD?!!!
It was good. Obviously everyone worked really hard but I only recognized barely a line from a couple of the songs.
Very impressive.

He was skating on his head😂😂😂sick😮
I appreciated the Usher giving props to Michael Jackson and Prince in the show. Him wearing the one glove and H.E.R. coming out with her guitar. Just amazing show.
Did you also notice H.e.r. was dressed like TLC from back when usher dated Chili 😉
es el primer comentario que leo con esa apreciación, llegue a pensar que era la única en notarlo, gracias 😊
I thought he was doing it for Michael Jackson.And the Guitar was for Prince.And shot out to his mom they all did it he was saying in so many words.
H.E.R is so annoying. She cant even play good 😂
Great point. H.E.R with the guitar definitely gave me Prince vibes
The part where he says "it's 7 o'clock on the dot" and they put the sundial there for the transition was smooth
Not a lot of artist can sing and dance at the same time …. Let alone skate …… definition of a talented musician
TH-cam putting ads in between this performance was criminal
Premium. How have you not heard of it
TH-cam Red would be a game changer
Man it was pissing me OFFFFFF‼️‼️‼️🙄
its 2024, we not paying for you tube premium, Signed by all the broke people 🎉
Rite, i was like what da hell
Usher is The Past, The Present, & The Future of R&B.
“How Much Nostalgia Do You WanT”
Usher: Yes.
Best comment!❤😊
ALL OF IT!!! He knew what we wanted, and he delivered!
I said a little bit and Usher was like hold my beer and he brought the whole past....
You mean Usher: YEAH YEAH YEAH
Lil Jon, Ludacris and will i am 🔥
Idk if im overreacting but usher might be the greatest performer i've ever seen in my life
He is
I loved that he dedicated that part to his mom. She was his manager that got him started
Usher went from being a vibe to a whole ERA! Yeah, yeah yeah, YEAH, YEAH!
I just noticed that Usher was doing a MJ tribute with the sliver glove 💯
I said that at work and someone said I was crazy I'm like dude the white glove the all white ensemble, the dance moves the moon walking? Hello!
@@Priscilla_Skoolie 💯💯💯💯💯
that's legacy bro
Best performance since Michael's
For life trying to emulate MJ. It's a hard thing to do.
Black people in entertainment deserve all their flowers. Such greats 🙌🏽
Usher is one of the most complete artists.
Pretty much!!
No
@@carlossantiagoclaros99yes
Agreed. Go watch the video from The Voice where he and Adam Levine perform each other's songs. They both nail the songs!!
😂
Usher literally brought Atlanta to the Super Bowl!!! From the marching bands, to the skaters, to the strippers, all the way to some of our great artists and producers!!! This was a great and very energetic show!!!❤❤❤❤ I really enjoyed it!
I did, too.
I’m pretty sure that’s JSU marching band
That was Jackson State University’s band.
He should have had Savannah State band preformed or Morehouse to make it a true Atl or Georgia performance.
@@thequietwone6501 nope Jackson state he tried to mix Atlanta and Los Vegas up too much JSU was the perfect band
The face expression from H.E.R. when she comes on stage and meets Usher and begins to play on the guitar is so perfect
literally
What guitar playing? Gal was just a poser.
Lip play?
H.E.R. and Alicia Keys parts were the best part of this, sorry Usher! Still love Usher though!
She was not even playing the guitar
All these new performers should learn from USHER! Still in the game and even on top of the GAME! Amazing performer, Talented singer. I grew up with his Music. What a showman!
Just realized i need to bring more usher back to my playlist
i dont usher died the same time yo old granny did
You literally just spoke my mind. Need to add some of his songs to my playlist. He is legendary
@@cmendowzuhbruhthese are the kind of comments you get when you give cellphones to homeless, mentally ill people.
I'm a metal head through and through.... But as a 1990-2000s kid I have the utmost respect for this man's craft 🤘 Thank you, Usher!!!
Super bowl will never have metal will they ?
I wish they would let Cannibal Corpse play! 😂 🤘
@@KygoCalvinHarris-xu4kvDoubts. Closest was Aerosmith and friggin Slash 🤢

Usher is 45 and he moves like he’s 20
Aging like wine 👌
Adrenochrome
And looks likes his 20 too🤤
45 is still young If you do your body so well.
And he's still taking his shirt off every time he performs. The man got some moves, and watching him perform some anthems from my childhood was awesome. I was jammin the whole time like I was 12 years old again (I was 12 when confessions was released)
I've watched this since the SB!! Usher is so talented!!
I am truly astounded by how Usher, at 45 years old, maintains such remarkable fitness and moves with such speed and grace! 🤯
He's only 45 lol. You're talking like he is 60 or something.
@@TheOriginalGayman se refiere a que muchos artistas no llegan en buena forma a sus 40 años.
He put these 20 yr old rappers to SHAME !!! Silence haters ! Lol
He literally has more energy than I do at 22. 😂

Walked into a indoor playground last night with my son. All the tvs were on the halftime show...and every parent was in front of them dancing like they were in their 20s and back at the club 😂.
😂🙌🏽😂 ✋🏽GUILTY!! Haha!
aw so cute ❤
Oh my goodness. I can only imagine! 😅
🥴
"a indoor playground" - okay.
I had chills when he came out with the skates. This was the most nostalgic thing I've ever seen. We really did have the best teen years.
アッシャーかっこよすぎ…愛してる
演出もカメラアングルも手がめちゃくちゃ込んでてやはりスーパーボール
何もかも全てがかっこいい…最高
Usher came out and did what he was supposed to do. Repping the A while also incorporating Vegas show culture at the beginning was chef’s kiss ❤❤
The one sparkling glove is a tribute to MJ without ever saying his name. That did it for me.
Usher inspires me.. My parents said if i get 70K followers They'd buy me a professional camera for recording..begging u guys , literally
Begging..
#freepalestine
Is that what it is?!?! Sis, this whole time I thought he was channeling The Wiz, 😂.
@@yaelshan2632😂😂
Only thing missing was ‘Dj got us falling in love’ such a legend!
And without you / u remind me…. But yeah great show would have been nice if jb was there
U Remind Me and You Make Me Wanna were missing too
Only thing missing was Elvis !
UwU
I was hoping he'd play Good Good as well
Just WOW. Usher is the GOAT, but shoutout to Whoever choreographed this performance, they understood the assignment! From Vegas Showgirls to the marching band and all the details in-between like the clock and reveal of Alicia, Lil Jon partying in the pit pole dancers and all the coordinating lights. Just perfection.
Greetings yesss all of the above and guitarist spectacular 🎉 blessings to all
Usher choreographed that wine set up. He works super hard late into the night hours to make sure every person shines brightly and is humble enough to share the spotlight.
RIP to all the lives that aren’t here today for this phenomenal performance
It's for me that this man is 45 and his voice still sound like that 97 Usher amazing..
It also sounds like one of the worst halftime shows no hate to usher though
He's 45 and the way he moves so effortlessly is just wholesome. Entertaining to watch him with all those moves and energy
And he could pass for 30, easily. He's timeless.
Easy when you have financial wealth and motivation.
You only think 45 is old until you are 43… keep waking up lil baby
45 isn't old 😂
😂😂pls 45 is not old. Pls pls pls...45 is just like 25 with more life exoeriences...you'll see when we get older😂😂😂
Legend!👑 of blackmusic/R&B/POP 🎙️🎤🎧💯 largest audience in SuperBowl history...
First independent artist in the SuperBowl...
Let's hear it for the Jackson State University Band dancing on the field as the band members played. Excellent
Why does Usher look like he hasn't aged in the last 25 years. I literally remember seeing him as a kid back in the 90s. We're in 2024 and he looks exactly the same as he did when I was 12 years old in 98 watching him on MTV. Alicia Keys also looks flawless as well, she's rocking the hell out of that red outfit. Hearing Usher sing all these songs you realize how many hits he has, the crazy part is I can literally sing along to every single song he sang. That's how talented he is and has been over the years.
Dancing keeps us young 😏
He still got the dance moves to
Yes I was singing everyone of the songs I was like wow & that wasn't all the songs & the part wit him roller skating that took it up a notch for me I loved it all I didn't won't it to end
If it means anything he was a teen when he became a star. In his mid 40’s so not very old but he hardly has aged much still
He hasn't one bit!!!
Their seemingly ageless appearance comes from [SRA] blood magic, and whereas it may prolong the body while it remains “alive” on the earth-the practice of such things, does [most unfortunately] send the soul straight to hell!
Growing up in the 90s, listening to Usher's music was a cherished part of my life, and it still brings back waves of nostalgia today.
Me 2
Same here. For us millennials, this show is extra special.
BY FAR THE BEST HALF TIME OF MY LIFE TIME.
Usher's Mic was ON honey!
And always been 🔥
When he looked at the camera and say ‘hey mama, we made it’!!
This one’s for you 😢❤
Copying off Gaga
Copied how?? Lmao @jumpforjoy6
@@xia1494 she shouted out her parents on her halftime show
In the name of drummers, thank you Usher for that empty golden drum kit in memory of Aaron Spears ! 🙏
Gracias por compartirlo no lo sabía😢
Now the people behind this were geniuses for paying tribute to Aaron in memory of him.
This performance is in my Top 3 all time most entertaining SB halftime shows. Usher literally brought it ALL 🕖 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
those first 4 notes of "yeah" just brings out the immediate, almost primal, reaction of me back in middle school RUSHING to the floor to dance or roller skate rink. just screaming haha great memories.
