@@Mario-lm8np His death was a larger loss to the music industry/community than anyone will ever know, and even without that he was still an amazing man and an inspiration to many. Rest in Peace Aaron.
Anybody else notice the extra drum-set on the stage with nobody playing it? That kit belongs to Mr. Aaron Spears. He was the drummer for Usher and Alicia Keys, (and a few others). He died a few months ago at the age of 47, and his drum set on stage in memorial is a great tribute to the legend in the drumming community.
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 💐

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!
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.
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.
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.
As a Nigerian viewer, I'm truly impressed by the organization, dance routines, choreography, lights, music arrangement, timing and overall spectacle of the performance. It's evident that America truly excels in show business, and my fellow Black brothers in the USA showcase remarkable talent. The ability to condense such a detailed and rich performance into just 13 minutes is truly amazing. I see pure excellence.
@@OjiMichael-s7u Really? Comparing Afrobeat with R & B? Stop it. This is an appreciation post and not comparing nor bringing any down I play & listen to Nigerian songs more as a Nigerian and there's nothing wrong with that. Peace!
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 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!!!
Usher is just earned his ICON status!!! While his career already made him a LEGEND, this masterpiece in motion is one of, if not, the BEST Super Bowl Halftime Shows ever!!! The way he used the arena as his stage, selection of guest appearances, pace of the performed songs, his vocal ability while dancing, inclusion skating and stripping and the thoughtful tribute to his legends and the beautiful and heartfelt tribute to his drummer….. I literally have tears in my eyes!!! This is a powerful performance and listening to recent interviews and hearing him speak on his life and how he’s growing and evolving, USHER RAYMOND is a phenomenal BLACK MAN, artist, performer, and human being!!!! Here’s to our living ICON!!!!🎉❤🥰🎊
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.
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 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
@@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. 🤎
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.👑
@@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.
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!
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. ❤
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.
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!!
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.
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!
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. 🙄
@@jenniferdavis8313 Confessions alone went Diamond..He has 9 Grammys, 53 songs on the Billboard Hot 100 chart over the span of his career, including 9 No. 1 hits and 18 Top 10 hits...He's had some great accomplishments..u dont have to dim his lights just to shine someone else's
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.
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.
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.
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 all notice at 12:19 the marching band lined up spells USHER! Incredible detail. This was simply spectacular. It will be tough to beat this halftime performance for those who follow! Your amazing Usher 🙌🏼
So much of the set list lined up. Like U Got it Bad to Bad Girl Confessions “where was usher at 7clock?” “At 7oclock, I was In my drop top” with the clock image at 7oclock. Lots of great detail and I love how he was generous enough to give his guests time to shine (Alicia, Jermaine, Lil Jon, Ludacris, HER). He wasn’t Stingy with his moment at all and shared it with people
Yeah .. i had to pause d video though to notice .cos it wasn't noticeable.. i noticed they were lined up nd i just knew dey were creating something, in my thoughts it could have been centered well or the camera could have given a little more details to it
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 😂
You are missing because you want to or because you are IGNORANT There are tons of "real" talent and different types today, WATCH Joon Kook Next to you Usher is in the Remix of the song too. The entire Kpop industry is based on that trend.
Plus theres tons of great young dancers and artists today, why people today with google cant make a simple search for new artists. You have to shove them down their throats or they wont even bother. And will just talk nostalgia disrespecting the work done today.
When artists these days start dancing, you geezers would whine about how they would just focus on singing. NOTHING pleases you, you just hate the youths and you know it!
@@celphone1cellphone591 News flash, the kpop fan base is smaller than you think. No one is calling them untalented. Let’s also not pretend like kpop isn’t inspired by black culture 🤔….as a gen z 3rd gen kpop fan you’re doing too much. The superbowl halftime show has always been about bringing older legendary artists to the stage. Jungkook just starting his solo career and doesn’t fit the criteria. Fans like you need to stop acting as if people can’t appreciate artists they grew up with, especially those who are literal inspirations to your kpop favs. Older generations typically don’t care for newer artists because they grew up with a different type of music. Gen z will be the same way….Btw Usher is a legend and deserves to be recognized and respected. Stop shoving kpop in peoples faces because comments like yours are the reason why people don’t like the genre and the fan base. You can’t force people to like something so stop being ignorant!
I like Usher but I didn’t know I was such a fan until I sing along with him words by words from start to finish effortlessly because I’ve sang all his songs in the showers, cars, etc forever . These are heaven for 90s babies definitely. 😂😂😂
Yes I was a bit sad even knowing he didn’t include ‘U Remind Me’, ‘Can U Help Me’, etc on the superbowl but hey 13 minute didn’t do justice to Usher’s catalogs 😂
Put some respect on Usher name this his 30th year in the game 20th Anniversary of his Magnum Opus Diamond selling album Confessions.. Usher still the highest selling Male R&B artist of the 21st Century. Just had the hottest show in Vegas the past 2 years. Just released a new album and bout to start a World Tour.. To still be relevant 30 years into his your Career is Legendary. As a lifelong Fan I’m genuinely Proud of Usher Raymond. Amazing Performance 🔥
This man is 45 Years old and he just did a performance that someone half his age would struggle with! Well done Usher and what a fantastic way to bring in artist he's sang with over the years!
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!!!!!
my nieces happen to go to the same school as ushers kids so my brothers had a few encounters with him & he says everytime they’ve crossed passed, he is nothing but kind & gracious to everyone around him. gotta love supporting a good dude on top of his obvious talent. this was clearly a dream come true for him, the set list being all his classic iconic hits, his dancing still being so on point, the guests, the skates, vocals as good as when he was 20 something, what an absolute LEGEND. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
@JustOrin1 Rhianna is a billonare she performed liked someone who didn't care at all I was thinking why was she even there ..? When I saw usher sweating I was like that's what a real performance is supposed to be like ...he. put everything into that performance...him and Beyonce are my favorite superbowl performances..

😂 girl I grew up with his music. I about died when he got shirtless 😅
Man I almost didn’t want this to end. This is my childhood. Best nostalgic thing I’ve seen in a long while.
I feel you! I was like I wish this could go on a little longer!
@@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.
These new artist could never compare
I agree
Yesss to all of this 🔥🔥
This is wild! Literally the King of RNB. Usher is unbeatable!
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.
Lets take a moment to appreciate that full quick change WITH SKATES

No really cuz I said man where he come from with skates lmbo
In all fairness though; he was stripped down to his pants already 😂

You know the song in the back when luda is singing?
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.
No
Exactly!!!! Oh my gosh me too!!!!
Yeah!!! ❤
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. ❤
will ı start my phd next year?
This wasn't for the kids, this was for they parents!!!! So many hits ya'll!
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.
Yeah no thanks - I made a run to the store.
Definitely!
@CabinCrew66 and older gen z for sure
Well they did announce a disclaimer. No kids... it was parents discretion! He did amazing star!
The part where he says "it's 7 o'clock on the dot" and they put the sundial there for the transition was smooth
Man. This was MY fav SB halftime.
Usher did it again… wowed and amazed me. I expected the musical and dancing spectaculars but on skates. I’m blown away 🤯
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! 🙋🏽♀️
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!!
Really glad I was born on the first year of Gen Z because I still got to experience millennial magic growing up
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.
Facts, Usher Is only below Beyoncé as performer
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 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”
Every Halftime artist brings invites other artist to perform a set...nothing new if watch Superbowls 😑
@@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. 🙄

Why is Michael is mentioned here? Insensitive to the core.
Take a second to think about the fact that he changed into a whole new outfit and put on roller skates in 1 minute real time 🤯
This performance took me back to 2004. Man what a performance. When ludacris and lil Jon came out!!!!!! What a throwback.

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.
H.E.R did her thing with that guitar. Prince would be so proud.
MJ too
And jimmy Hendrix
So proud of her!! What is the superbowl without H.E.R. I'm so proud of her!
I was thinking the exact same thing
Lol, was just about to Google who that was and seen ur comment.
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.
That guitar solo by H.E.R. gave me chills and I've heard that song a thousand times. She's amazing! I'm glad Usher gave her the opportunity to shine.
Yeeees!!!
She wasn’t even playing lol
Prince would be proud ❤ i have listen to that part so many times
LOL IT'S FAKE PLAYING
I loved it too! Such a cool way to perform it
I've re-watched this back to back at least 10x. My brother definitely deserved his flowers. One of the best performance I've ever seen.
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
The dancing, the skating, Usher’s smile, Usher’s body…..PHENOMENAL performance👏🏽💪🏾😘🏆
But not his singing 😅😂

@@Someone-kg4rxI'm a guy, but yum.
This performance is in my Top 3 all time most entertaining SB halftime shows. Usher literally brought it ALL 🕖 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Usher didn't do lip sync bullcrap like everyone else does, and lil Jon added SO MUCH energy to this. This is so rare nowadays, love this show
They don’t invite lip syncers to these shows you need actual talent
Agree 100%
@@CasualCat64 There's no lyp synchers dude it's just a condition you have to complete
Every musician can perform like that
Usher and Rihanna both didn’t do lip sync. You could hear Rihanna’s voice as well
Okay chill out dude
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
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
Usher is one of the best performer EVER
This man is 45 years old and perfomed like this 😍🔥🔥🔥
And my 48 yr old knees are cryyyyying. Shoulda kept dancin😂
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! 😂 🤘

Did you all notice at 12:19 the marching band lined up spells USHER! Incredible detail. This was simply spectacular. It will be tough to beat this halftime performance for those who follow! Your amazing Usher 🙌🏼
So much of the set list lined up. Like U Got it Bad to Bad Girl
Confessions “where was usher at 7clock?” “At 7oclock, I was In my drop top” with the clock image at 7oclock. Lots of great detail and I love how he was generous enough to give his guests time to shine (Alicia, Jermaine, Lil Jon, Ludacris, HER). He wasn’t Stingy with his moment at all and shared it with people
Yes bro seen it wow usher is a super legend ❤
Yeah .. i had to pause d video though to notice .cos it wasn't noticeable.. i noticed they were lined up nd i just knew dey were creating something, in my thoughts it could have been centered well or the camera could have given a little more details to it
@@Zahra-lc3mjI could of did without Jermaine LOL but other than that straight dope halftime straight up there with Prince and Mister Jackson.
Yes everyone could see it, given they did an overhead shot to deliberately show it.

USHERS BEEN MY DAWG SINCE MY WAY
Shxt before that...call me a mack and think of you. Usher been that dude 🎖️
Let's hear it for the Jackson State University Band dancing on the field as the band members played. Excellent
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.
Gosh I miss real talent like this. When people put on a show!!!!
Dudes 45 and danced circles around anyone today half his age. 👑
You are missing because you want to or because you are IGNORANT There are tons of "real" talent and different types today, WATCH Joon Kook Next to you Usher is in the Remix of the song too. The entire Kpop industry is based on that trend.
Plus theres tons of great young dancers and artists today, why people today with google cant make a simple search for new artists. You have to shove them down their throats or they wont even bother. And will just talk nostalgia disrespecting the work done today.
Yes true talent
When artists these days start dancing, you geezers would whine about how they would just focus on singing. NOTHING pleases you, you just hate the youths and you know it!
@@celphone1cellphone591 News flash, the kpop fan base is smaller than you think. No one is calling them untalented. Let’s also not pretend like kpop isn’t inspired by black culture 🤔….as a gen z 3rd gen kpop fan you’re doing too much. The superbowl halftime show has always been about bringing older legendary artists to the stage. Jungkook just starting his solo career and doesn’t fit the criteria. Fans like you need to stop acting as if people can’t appreciate artists they grew up with, especially those who are literal inspirations to your kpop favs. Older generations typically don’t care for newer artists because they grew up with a different type of music. Gen z will be the same way….Btw Usher is a legend and deserves to be recognized and respected. Stop shoving kpop in peoples faces because comments like yours are the reason why people don’t like the genre and the fan base. You can’t force people to like something so stop being ignorant!
Mic was ON 🗣️🎤 can’t nobody do it like ursher baby
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..

Is that what it is?!?! Sis, this whole time I thought he was channeling The Wiz, 😂.
@@yaelshan2632😂😂
I like Usher but I didn’t know I was such a fan until I sing along with him words by words from start to finish effortlessly because I’ve sang all his songs in the showers, cars, etc forever . These are heaven for 90s babies definitely. 😂😂😂
80’s too. We actually grew up with Usher. Usher transcends!
I said the same thing! I was shocked that I was able to sing along to all of it
Yes I was a bit sad even knowing he didn’t include ‘U Remind Me’, ‘Can U Help Me’, etc on the superbowl but hey 13 minute didn’t do justice to Usher’s catalogs 😂
He has so many hits. I wish he dropped OMG to extend the others especially Superstar. He had the whole stadium singing with him.
Usher is one of those artists who everyone forgets is responsible for at least 5 songs they loved in the 00s until they catch themselves singing along
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😢

Put some respect on Usher name this his 30th year in the game 20th Anniversary of his Magnum Opus Diamond selling album Confessions.. Usher still the highest selling Male R&B artist of the 21st Century. Just had the hottest show in Vegas the past 2 years. Just released a new album and bout to start a World Tour.. To still be relevant 30 years into his your Career is Legendary. As a lifelong Fan I’m genuinely Proud of Usher Raymond. Amazing Performance 🔥
