❤❤ Hallelujah his mom deserved it so proud of him ! Getting back to skating this year YEAH !!! TURNING OFF BeYonce why didn't she announce going country at the Grammys ? Why steal Usher's spotlight ???
Usher told y’all, don’t bring your girl round me , true playa fr “. 😂🤣😂😂😂. At 45 years old, Usher still got it like we was back in the 90s & 2000s. He’s a real performer.
Right. He would kill a verzuz hands down, no matter who they match him up with. No one can go against him. CB doesn't have the catalog as Usher was out way longer. Edit: I stand corrected. I think Neyo would be a good match in a verzuz.
Usher’s Super Bowl live performance was absolutely dope & epic. I’m so very happy & glad he’s finally receiving his flowers because he literally has given us so many classical hits throughout the years. He really deserves all of the success & everything. 🔥🔥🔥🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
I ❤ Usher,i think he felt Alicia Keys vocals was not very strong ,nor was it her best ,he wanted to distract us ,so he started dancing on her 😂😂😂,Usher is truly a great entertainer
Agreed, especially when he’s started singing her song with her. She was never a great singer (it’s the truth) but tonight was not a good look. But she’s phenomenal on them keys!
She was never a strong vocalist, her talent is in writing and performing. And isn't he always dancing with the ladies like that lol? Causing problems in people's relationships (Keke) lol.
Usher is just not aging… what’s funny is people don’t realize he is ten years older than Chris Brown. I don’t think the guys are still beefing the media likes to do that to artists
I just saw it n ursher n Alicia keys is outta pocket Well Alicia is....ursher only does what you allow him to do....he follows the woman's lead I noticed, he's a gentleman Shame on Alicia keys The super bowl performance was AMAZING and so was his vocals!!!!!! Only negative thing I have to say about the whole thing is Alicia keys vocals....of course she'll ruin any show and anything with that voice
When I saw H.E.R. play the guitar and the faces she was making, my mind immediately rushed to memories of Prince when he used to get lost in the music and wild out on his guitar. It was AMAZING 👏🏽
@@Taxcollector9955Well those “old heads” are happy they grew up listening to early 2000s music with folks like Usher. That era of music is by far the best of this century. Rap & Hip Hop was also better at the time. A lot of songs in that era are considered classics. A lot of albums in that era are platinums.
His performance wasn’t rushed, that man just has a long catalog 🙌🏾🔥 Also, we have to let the Versuz Battle go.. In 2020 when the world was shut down, it helped us get through that tough time
Why do people feel the need to “call folks out” for doing their job well? One of the reasons people watch the Super Bowl is for all of the commercials and another is the halftime show! Both Usher and Beyoncé can have a moment simultaneously! The only way it can outshine the other is if we, the consumers, make it so. Why not just give both of them their props for their roles and keep it moving!?! Say it with me everybody! “One person’s shine does not dim another person’s shine!”
💯 other artists in other genes don’t have this problem - they know it’s biz. Why do ppl create issues where there are none? Should be happy we got 2 for 1 on the same night🤨
@@RealRoyaltE I agree! They paid her 30 million for the commercial, and most superbowl commercials are expensive! It was the perfect strategy and I’m happy for her!

So why is the hate necessary? 💔
I know it's ridiculous how blk folks always make it one or the other to support. it's so stupid. no one is telling them to do that and yet they feel the need continue to separate each other instead of enjoying all talent. these generation of people are so divisive. it wasn't this way in the 80's or 90's especially between R&B
Right, like Usher is gonna be fine. I just looked to get tickets to one of his shows and it only went onsale this morning and these damn arenas got so many seats bought up already. He's gonna make a KILLING on this damn tour, not to mention the Lovers and Friends festival. He did his damn thing and he's already seeing the fruits of his labor prosper
Re 16 Carriages: I believe the 16 carriages symbolize the years of her youth/'normal life'. She credits '97 as her debut year, which would have made her roughly 16. She sings about needing to grow up and take the reigns for helping her family as her parents supported her dreams/legacy. I think it can be seen as sad but I found it mostly pensive/reflective. Saying her success wasn't overnight and her abundance wasn't handed to her, regardless of her talent and dedication to her craft. That's my understanding of the song.
Anytime you can pull Lil Jon and JD out you know it's about to be fire! Usher's halftime show was nostalgic, impactful, and worthwhile. So proud of him! 🙌🏾 He's still got it.
This New culture needs to relax! Beyonce didn't steal nothing! Making tweets about it is what makes people feel otherwise! I thought seeing her commercial was extra added entertainment against the other commercials but definitely not stealing Ushers moment! All I saw was a full show from Black artists & I'm so grateful for it!
Exactly, in the real world, you do what you need to do and seize your moments when you choose, no one sits back and waits for no one to ve making moves so they can make theirs, but generation cry baby thinks it works that way
It's even more crazy because folks been predicting and hoping Bey would be a guest and perform with him. Like wouldn't that stop his shine as well? It's Bey, whatever she does is gonna be magnified! Lol I'm happy that they both have projects out this year!
Exactly 💯 Usher's performance was phenomenal!! I was still thinking about it hours after it ended. Usher is an icon and I'm glad he's getting his recognition & flowers 💐 now. I hope to see Usher on tour
Usher’s voice is more polished than Chris’…a bit more trained if you will…beautiful range up to the falsetto. He is an amazing performer in the way he interacts with the crowd it almost looks rehearsed but it’s spontaneous! But Chris has a level of versatility and talent that is unmatched. His music is more on the raunchy side but writing/lyricism, & versatility with different genres is crazy. The lyrics of his music on more romantic or inspirational songs is unexpected and creative. He is on several reggae and Afro beats songs and he feels like an Afro beat or reggae artist even speaking in patois and pidgin English. Can pick up any genre of dancing and maybe if he focused on training & polishing the vocals he’d be like Usher…cause Usher sounds like the radio when he sings live! I recently heard Chris Brown just sitting down chilling and singing and I was like man his voice is raw and beautiful and full…can’t describe it.
All those Vegas shows prepared him for this moment in time, everything happens when it is supposed to. It goes down as a memorial show for me, Usher is amazing and I can't wait to see him again in September in Oakland, CA. Let's Goooo!
Usher still shined bright like a diamond 💎!! It's still room for both even when it's usher moment!! ❤He still got his flowers!! And he still trending!!
I’m a fan huge fan of both artist for years but Usher is almost a decade older than Chris it’s so weird when people clout them against each other . It’s probably annoying to the artists. There is enough room to have 2 extremely talented R&B artists in the black community. Let’s celebrate and uplift both of these black men and enjoy history in the making because both artist are legendary. Shoutout to Usher for an AMAZING Super Bowl performance!! Chris will have his day in due time. Peace 🩵
Eh screw Chris! He's always the common denominator in every beef he's in. How is usher over a decade older than him but in better shape than him? Chris better hope he's still got whatever's left in 11 years.
Usher did an amazing job at the Super Bowl ! Also Chris & Usher have no beef because Chris gave him propers on his ig story about the performance! If Chris was in odds with Usher he would’ve never acknowledged the performance , but he did. I always felt like they made up behind the scenes but never talked about what happened again lol . Like some brother ish.
How you know they not beefing ? To me Chris probably felt bad for what happened at the party so he made a story uplifting usher. Usher unfollowed Chris from Instagram as well so idk how yall are saying there is no beef. Also who else would usher be talking about in that song
She will probably do rock for act III. If it is rock it will probably be like Tina Turner and Little Richard, although I wouldn't mind seeing her dip her toes into something a little heavier. I doubt she would go for that kind of drop guitar tunning, though it would be amusing to see Beyonce do a hardcore style breakdown.
I KNEW USHER WOULD KILL IT -- HE WAS AMAZING!!!! IDK how to feel about Beyonce announcing her new stuff.... as much as I wanted it, today wasn't the day. MEH! They rich, not me! I support all of 'em...BUT IT WAS USHERS DAY!!!!!
@@lovelyt2107congratulations! People who dislike Beyoncé and want so badly for others to know act like we know or give a damn about their existence at all 😂
Yaaaas 1984 millennial here! 🙌🏾 This is my era! Love you Usher❤…. I remember the first time I saw you slip off your kicks in the “You make me wanna” video looking so flyy with your dancers. I was obsessed at 13 and I’m 39 now. I literally grew up on you, and you are STILL HERE killing it! A true icon you are! ❤🔥🔥🔥
Right! Beyonce taking advantage of the Superbowl for advertisement is a smart, savvy business woman's move! Dropping her two song's at that 'ideal' time is profound.🤩🤗
I agree. I also don't think she took Ushers moment. He can hold his own and then some. But if it had been any other artist, it would have been a little messed up
Exactly Usher has no competition! SN: when you mentioned Usher being a Vet & legend really made me realize how long Chris has been doin it. 20 years essentially while Usher is 30+! Since children these guys have been amazing🙏🏾
Been a fan of Usher since '93. Definitely super proud of him, although this moment was long overdue!!! He IS a king, if not THE king of R&B for me. HER absolutely ate as well, as usual!!
Beyoncé & Usher are so Cool w/ each other, yall gotta Stop Reaching & Putting Blacks AGAINST Each Other sheesh , it’s Black History Month for Heaven sakes😞🤦🏽♀️
I wish K Michelle could get more support. She BEEN trying to cross over to country. And yes, she has the voice as well. Bey should've made her announcement on grammy night 😅
Deadass we need a Ciara Super-Bowl performance ASAP. She needs to start off with “Promise” and then eat that stage UP! Also can y’all imagine P!NK and Kelly Clarkson tackling the Super-Bowl together man THE VOCALS!!
I told ya’ll waaaaaaaaaaaaay back when she won the Grammy’s over India Arie that she couldn’t sing. But then again, she was under Clive Davis…need I say more???? Nope!
Agreed 💯 but honestly, and I'm literally just finding this out. The Grammys votes comes from inside the industry. They vote on the winners instead of the GP(General public) which even though I've personally nvr participated in the whole "Voting for Awards" thing you'd think it'll be based on the ppl but it's not.

Congrats to Usher on his Super Bowl performance. He just finished his vegas residency so I’m sure this was an important milestone for him. Beyonce announcing her album AND putting out two singles was inconsiderate.
*_It's no shock that Beyonce would announce her album, during Usher's shining moment because she hates when others get attention so of course she will try to steal the shine from others._*
Yeah, that too, but also I was feeling like, "Okay gwiiirl, that's all we need to see of you for about a week, no one has forgotten you exist, let Usher have his few days!"
Usher did an Epic performance🔥…it gave Las Vegas performance ( homage to Sammy Davis Jr. days)….Mixed with snippets of Usher’s huge catalog of songs from different Era’s(and kept it clean). He even brought out his celebrity colleagues as well as paying homage to the legendary Micheal Jackson, all in an allotted timeframe! Usher definitely understood the assignment 💐❤️✨
LOVED the roller skating part!! That took me back to Northland Skating Ring in the 80’s for my Detroit folks!!! 😁 And HER did her thang! She was rocking out like Prince….
🎙️ 🎊It's a win for Usher & Beyonce!!! Reason: Usher won because he's doing a US Tour and most arenas are already sold out!!! Beyonce fans will support her evolving as an Artist!!!🎊
@@MrBrightstar78girl Taylor is trending all over the internet but no one is saying she stole ushers shine. Idk I’m starting to think y’all don’t like Beyoncé fr fr
USHER HAD A MOMENT AND HE SHINED BRIGHT LIKE A DIAMOND! Beyawnce on the other had was just there to get a piece of the pie. I wasn't feeling her advertisment
Usher and company did an amazing job! This was 30 years in the making for him! I love the incorporated rollerskating in they show! He is definitely a living legend! ❤❤❤❤
So let me get this straight; Taylor Swift can announce her new project at the Grammys with 17 mil people watching and about 7 artists performing but B can’t announce a new project in a Super Bowl commercial with 120 mil people watching because Usher is performing? Sure you’re right.
Usher is a true professional. Having that residency in Vegas really prepared him for the quick fast Super Bowl. He's obviously in the best shape of his life. I loved the entire performance. Big ups on the HBCU band sound.
Usher did an amazing job... he was the highlight of the Superbowl & I love how he included Jackson State Band.... I love all his colabs too. Mrs. Keys voice came out cracking when she first started singing.. like she didn't warm up first. But it still was an amazing job .
How Beyoncé steal Usher’s moment when it was simply his moment. Jay-z also was involved with Ushers performance as well. There’s enough room for all Black ppl to shine ugh.
They would’ve never put him on a commercial after her performance. Beyoncé is very selfish and jealous person. It seems she doesn’t like others to outshine her.
@@AmberSumerall if you don't care for her just say that! No one said a thing about Ben and JLo's commercial, not to mention Verizon paid her 3O MILLION dollars for the commercial. It's the SUPERBOWL for crying out loud!
The man is a PERFORMER for sure, phenomenal on stage! I would love to see him 🤩 i agree about some of it feeling rushed but like you said there’s only so much time
I don't think Usher was shading Chris Brown because they recently shared the stage at one of his Vegas show and he welcome him with open arms. In the past they did multiple songs with one another and I think they probably might do another soon.
Agreed. Usher wasn’t shading Chris Brown. But if he were it’d be dumb cause he’s the one who suggested CB in the first place. I often think many of these TH-camrs, Bloggers are paid to push BS narratives against an artist the industry be hating on. There’s rarely any facts to support, but throw an allegedly or claim of having a “blind item” and that’s enough to push whatever nonsense narrative that comes to mind. It’s an absolute shame.
Sometimes sis be reaching with her thoughts. She isn’t always right. Which is ok because her commentary is basically her opinion. One thing she said I will agree with is Alicia’s vocals
I m a 90's girl and I love usher and I think he is the goat, but I hate how we always try to make beef between people. Let's face it usher is a king but so is Chris they both have there own lanes and that should be respected instead of trying to cause problems between them we know they already had issues but as it has been stated usher brought him out on stage. I just hate to see how we as black people love to see division all the time. But on a positive note usher did his thang!!!
Yes, Beyoncé did! She chose strategically to air her commercial during SB and drop music SB night. She could’ve aired her Verizon commercial and released her new music tracks this week. Let’s not be blind and gullible. JayZ and Beyoncé been doing this type of shade for years. Now media is talking more about Beyoncé than Usher’s SB performance.
Usher NEVER disappoints. He is a fantastic singer and an INCREDIBLE performer. Few people have obtained his level of talent as a performer. He’s with the likes of Frank Sinatra, Micheal Jackson , Prince, and the likes of those entertainers. Not even Beyoncé despite she is worshipped like a god. Sure Beyoncé puts on a performance but Usher is THE performer and whether he has a matching band behind him or he’s on the skating ring you will get a performer’s performance. The man is AWESOME!!!
Two things can be appreciated at once…Usher can be the topic of conversation and Beyonce can too. There’s room for both! I don’t know why people feel like only one person can be great at a time.
Usher’s moment was his moment. I loved his performance very refreshing 10’s!!!! Beyoncé had a million dollar campaign with Verizon, why not capitalize and use that for marketing. That lady is a business woman those singles was in the vault ready lol Thank you for the great commentary per usual ❤
Girl, keep in mind Usher has a lot of classics. It wasnt rushed at all. He gave us the greatest show we've had in a minute. I enjoyed the show. Definitely would watch it again. Period 💯
I also feel like Beyonce always upstages others. I won't be buying the new album. Love that Usher included other artists on his night...speaks volumes of him opening pathways for others. He is confident in his craft and I love this! ❤️ Beyonce did what she did intentionally...her commercial aired right after half-time. I think this is a true testament to who she really is...her fans are slipping and have been snowed 😂 That meekness is an act...lol
H.E.R on that guitar was just goosebumps she looked like a rockstar she performed like a fuxking legend that part was like ugh 😩😩

Usher’s voice is more polished than Chris’…a bit more trained if you will…beautiful range up to the falsetto. He is an amazing performer in the way he interacts with the crowd it almost looks rehearsed but it’s spontaneous!
But Chris has a level of versatility and talent that is unmatched. His music is more on the raunchy side but writing/lyricism, & versatility with different genres is crazy. The lyrics of his music on more romantic or inspirational songs is unexpected and creative. He is on several reggae and Afro beats songs and he feels like an Afro beat or reggae artist even speaking in patois and pidgin English. Can pick up any genre of dancing and maybe if he focused on training & polishing the vocals he’d be like Usher…cause Usher sounds like the radio when he sings live! I recently heard Chris Brown just sitting down chilling and singing and I was like man his voice is raw and beautiful and full…can’t describe it.
a superbowl doesnt make usher a bigger and more talented artist than Chris.
@@thomas3146 It very literally does lol...
I appreciated him doing a snippet of Superstar that was for the people ✊🏾
All those Vegas shows prepared him for this moment in time, everything happens when it is supposed to. It goes down as a memorial show for me, Usher is amazing and I can't wait to see him again in September in Oakland, CA. Let's Goooo!
What?? He's going to be in Oakland? Let me check Ticketmaster.
He been a great performer
Usher still shined bright like a diamond 💎!! It's still room for both even when it's usher moment!! ❤He still got his flowers!! And he still trending!!
Atlanta is so proud of Usher, congratulations to Usher and his family!
Usher is from Chattanooga not Atlanta. That's just were he started his music.
Can you imagine if Prince were alive, and H.E.R. Could have a duet with him??? That would have been 🔥 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
He wld have livvvveeeddd for her!!
It was amazing! I couldn't stop dancing, I didn't want it to end. He brought back so many memories of that Era.
Facts I only tuned in for him 😂
He did amazing! Many people didn't realize he was doing a medley of songs, so they are only snippets mixing in with others! Fantastic show!❤️
Usher does not age! What a dope performer 🎉❤
H.E.R. Played the hell out that guitar ❤
I thought that was North West for a second 😂😂😂😂
It looked fake to me. I was still hearing the music after she stopped playing lol. Maybe I need to watch it again.
@@DH-uw3us💯🤣🤣it was fake
Yes. I love it.
It was fake 😗😭
I saw Usher Aug 16 1998 when he opened for Janet Jackson on her Velvet Rope Tour he is an amazing artist then and even better now !!!
I’m a fan huge fan of both artist for years but Usher is almost a decade older than Chris it’s so weird when people clout them against each other . It’s probably annoying to the artists. There is enough room to have 2 extremely talented R&B artists in the black community. Let’s celebrate and uplift both of these black men and enjoy history in the making because both artist are legendary. Shoutout to Usher for an AMAZING Super Bowl performance!! Chris will have his day in due time. Peace 🩵
Well said❤
Eh screw Chris! He's always the common denominator in every beef he's in. How is usher over a decade older than him but in better shape than him? Chris better hope he's still got whatever's left in 11 years.
Learn how to use clout
This!
Y’all seriously need to stop praising abusers.
Usher did an amazing job at the Super Bowl ! Also Chris & Usher have no beef because Chris gave him propers on his ig story about the performance! If Chris was in odds with Usher he would’ve never acknowledged the performance , but he did. I always felt like they made up behind the scenes but never talked about what happened again lol . Like some brother ish.
I bet Usher would’ve added CB to the performance list but the planners would’ve rejected that idea because of the stigma on him with Rihanna.
She knows that. Empressive just being a crash out messy christian woman lmfaoo
@@tyreek.6815empressive a Christian??😂😂
How you know they not beefing ? To me Chris probably felt bad for what happened at the party so he made a story uplifting usher. Usher unfollowed Chris from Instagram as well so idk how yall are saying there is no beef. Also who else would usher be talking about in that song
@@theking54077a lot of other artists have talked about versus with usher even sisqo chimed in
Beyonce is really out here reclaiming BLACK genres, first with Act i: house and now Act ii: COUNTRY !
but she takes from black women and profits from her lightskin self fantsaia, whitney and aretha eat her up any day
And act 3 is probably gonna be rock too!!
Everything but Gospel though because she serves the devil.
She will probably do rock for act III. If it is rock it will probably be like Tina Turner and Little Richard, although I wouldn't mind seeing her dip her toes into something a little heavier. I doubt she would go for that kind of drop guitar tunning, though it would be amusing to see Beyonce do a hardcore style breakdown.
We been said it lol
I KNEW USHER WOULD KILL IT -- HE WAS AMAZING!!!! IDK how to feel about Beyonce announcing her new stuff.... as much as I wanted it, today wasn't the day. MEH! They rich, not me! I support all of 'em...BUT IT WAS USHERS DAY!!!!!
The music business doesn't stop because someone is performing at the Superbowl lmao....... Beyoncé's announcement bad nothing to do with Usher
Like seriously though😩 I wanted Usher to have his moment. 24hrs would have been nice lol
Yea I saw what she posted and it didn’t faze me at all. It actually made me feel tired of seeing her. 🤷🏽♀️
@@lovelyt2107congratulations! People who dislike Beyoncé and want so badly for others to know act like we know or give a damn about their existence at all 😂

Usher was just being an awesome performer!! Loved the show
He doesn’t need autotune or pre recorded these yungin got a taste of real talents
Yaaaas 1984 millennial here! 🙌🏾 This is my era! Love you Usher❤…. I remember the first time I saw you slip off your kicks in the “You make me wanna” video looking so flyy with your dancers. I was obsessed at 13 and I’m 39 now. I literally grew up on you, and you are STILL HERE killing it! A true icon you are! ❤🔥🔥🔥
Freaking same!! 1984 stand up
@@sassybdiy7565Aye 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
1978 here. Same age as Usher so had a crush since Think of You.
@@merrytunes8697Omg that’s right he was singing at like 14 right? He was so adorable 🥰 and still looks the same. Crazy
He's been hot since he first came out. Hasn't slowed down one bit.
Right! Beyonce taking advantage of the Superbowl for advertisement is a smart, savvy business woman's move! Dropping her two song's at that 'ideal' time is profound.🤩🤗
Omg u are so smart ❤❤❤ that part like the tic toc thing but it was his moment and she’s don’t have to do that if she is well known
I agree. I also don't think she took Ushers moment. He can hold his own and then some. But if it had been any other artist, it would have been a little messed up
Exactly Usher has no competition!
SN: when you mentioned Usher being a Vet & legend really made me realize how long Chris has been doin it. 20 years essentially while Usher is 30+! Since children these guys have been amazing🙏🏾
Been a fan of Usher since '93. Definitely super proud of him, although this moment was long overdue!!! He IS a king, if not THE king of R&B for me. HER absolutely ate as well, as usual!!
LONG Overdue! Agreed!
He’s the King Of R&B to me too!!! Im so happy for him.
R Kelly ain’t dead
He definitely is GREAT & for Stephen Smith to question if he could pull it off,he wasn’t Bey when he’s been around longer
I agree!
Man I got so excited when he was about to sing nice and slow and he only sang it’s 7 o’clock😩😩😩😂😂
Beyoncé & Usher are so Cool w/ each other, yall gotta Stop Reaching & Putting Blacks AGAINST Each Other sheesh , it’s Black History Month for Heaven sakes😞🤦🏽♀️
Usher literally called Chris brown is brother forever and said he helped him in his lowest points. Black people love black on black war. Its sad.
stop peen riding that man he don't know u at all
Please stop making these weird ass comments. Black people are not obligated to like ALL black people just because they're black. 🙄
I wish K Michelle could get more support. She BEEN trying to cross over to country. And yes, she has the voice as well.
Bey should've made her announcement on grammy night 😅
They been blackballed K. Bad attitude
I could not get info k michelle's country song and honestly I don't like this Beyonce song at all. I didn't hear country but that's just me
@@sassybdiy7565 I believe if she was given the opportunity, she was gonna definitely make some country hits

He made History as a Black Man in 15 minutes,an Assignment and an exam meeting time to deliver , First RnB Black Male Artist to perform at Superbowl 🔥
Not true. The Weeknd was the first RnB black male performer
What about Prince?
Micheal Jackson??
The weekend is pop
@@Jennessy21he’s Ethiopian, usher is more black
Deadass we need a Ciara Super-Bowl performance ASAP. She needs to start off with “Promise” and then eat that stage UP! Also can y’all imagine P!NK and Kelly Clarkson tackling the Super-Bowl together man THE VOCALS!!
It would be better if her husband made it to the super bowl. That would be dynamic!
hell yeah we. need a ciara superbowl . i want usher and ciara to do a song and video together and chris can dance but usher is more mature.

I told ya’ll waaaaaaaaaaaaay back when she won the Grammy’s over India Arie that she couldn’t sing. But then again, she was under Clive Davis…need I say more???? Nope!
She sounded horrible!
She never could. The Grammy's must not be about vocal ability. Her vocals were on the struggle bus.
Alicia sounded more than awful at Whitney Houston funeral..I'll never unsee Alicia screaming like a hurt goat AT THE WHITNEY HOUSTON funeral 🤦🏾♀️
Agreed 💯 but honestly, and I'm literally just finding this out. The Grammys votes comes from inside the industry. They vote on the winners instead of the GP(General public) which even though I've personally nvr participated in the whole "Voting for Awards" thing you'd think it'll be based on the ppl but it's not. It's basically a popularity contest and based on industry relationships. Like a who likes who better type of thing , which is unfair💯 They (the industry) always pushes who they think we like , like we don't have our own opinions or something lolz we are not stupid 💯🤞🏾💕

Congrats to Usher on his Super Bowl performance. He just finished his vegas residency so I’m sure this was an important milestone for him. Beyonce announcing her album AND putting out two singles was inconsiderate.
Do you notice everybody is using these types of moments to promote their music. It's genius but it was shocking tho.
Beyonce isnt responsible for other artists success….if she wants to make announcements during the super bowl she has every right to do so.
*_It's no shock that Beyonce would announce her album, during Usher's shining moment because she hates when others get attention so of course she will try to steal the shine from others._*
Don't be that person... Beyonce has every right to capitalize like anyone else.
@itz.murdock8174 Well when Travis and Taylor announced something on her day...let's see what happens. Lmao 🤣
Beyoncé doing the commercial. I was like Dang, Beyoncé still Has A Personality 😂😂
Yeah, that too, but also I was feeling like, "Okay gwiiirl, that's all we need to see of you for about a week, no one has forgotten you exist, let Usher have his few days!"
Usher did an Epic performance🔥…it gave Las Vegas performance ( homage to Sammy Davis Jr. days)….Mixed with snippets of Usher’s huge catalog of songs from different Era’s(and kept it clean). He even brought out his celebrity colleagues as well as paying homage to the legendary Micheal Jackson, all in an allotted timeframe! Usher definitely understood the assignment 💐❤️✨
And did💯💪🏾
LOVED the roller skating part!! That took me back to Northland Skating Ring in the 80’s for my Detroit folks!!! 😁 And HER did her thang! She was rocking out like Prince….
Usher is an International Popstar and his songs on the album reflect that...just amazing! 👏🏽 👏🏽 👏🏽 👏🏽
Usher did the ABSOLUTE MOST! His show was on from beginning to end! ❤
Usher was amazing! Also, I think Usher and Chris are cool! Chris posted about Usher's performance on his story!
If Taylor swift could use the Grammys to promote her new album than why can’t Beyoncé with the Super Bowl
🎙️ 🎊It's a win for Usher & Beyonce!!! Reason: Usher won because he's doing a US Tour and most arenas are already sold out!!! Beyonce fans will support her evolving as an Artist!!!🎊
We can appreciate usher and Beyoncé at the same time. They both had a moment!
Okay. Let’s appreciate other people like Taylor Swift as well right? It was Usher’s night!
@@MrBrightstar78no facts, Beyoncé could have waited
Nah she really need to stop using their position to have an unfair advantage
@@MrBrightstar78girl Taylor is trending all over the internet but no one is saying she stole ushers shine. Idk I’m starting to think y’all don’t like Beyoncé fr fr
USHER HAD A MOMENT AND HE SHINED BRIGHT LIKE A DIAMOND! Beyawnce on the other had was just there to get a piece of the pie. I wasn't feeling her advertisment
Usher and company did an amazing job! This was 30 years in the making for him! I love the incorporated rollerskating in they show! He is definitely a living legend! ❤❤❤❤
I don't really get the "30 years in the making" thing; but of course Usher is undeniable. I've always called him "The Black Gene Kelley".😅
I rarely agree with Chris Brown but what he said about Verzuz being for washed up artists, I have to completely agree
agree, that vegas residency made usher relevant again lol
How can you be washed up when you're a legend, your music from years ago still hits! Sorry I completely disagree...
@@JT-pj8hv VERZUZ is for washed up artists. V.E.R.Z.U.Z
I disagree
Chris is on that washed up list
First
I really enjoyed his performance, loved the transitions & the guests 🩷
Nope lol
So let me get this straight; Taylor Swift can announce her new project at the Grammys with 17 mil people watching and about 7 artists performing but B can’t announce a new project in a Super Bowl commercial with 120 mil people watching because Usher is performing? Sure you’re right.
Usher brought the super bowl moments confession era 2024. I'm so happy for him. This was moments for r&b lovers ❤
Usher, you did that! You were amazing - and, yes, he was singing LIVE while dancing! 😊💙
The half time show got my juices flowing enough that Im going to see him this coming fall. I can't wait...❤
Is he doing a concert tour??
I hope K Michelle gets to do her Country Album. She’ll kill it
K Michelle is one of the best artists
Usher is a true professional. Having that residency in Vegas really prepared him for the quick fast Super Bowl. He's obviously in the best shape of his life. I loved the entire performance. Big ups on the HBCU band sound.
Usher did an amazing job... he was the highlight of the Superbowl & I love how he included Jackson State Band.... I love all his colabs too. Mrs. Keys voice came out cracking when she first started singing.. like she didn't warm up first. But it still was an amazing job .
Usher sang live, danced through out at the same time. He alsk did his guest sports well. Definitely a top 5 all time half time performance
How Beyoncé steal Usher’s moment when it was simply his moment. Jay-z also was involved with Ushers performance as well. There’s enough room for all Black ppl to shine ugh.
They would’ve never put him on a commercial after her performance. Beyoncé is very selfish and jealous person. It seems she doesn’t like others to outshine her.
@@AmberSumerall y'all need to leave that woman alone yucks
@@AmberSumerall if you don't care for her just say that! No one said a thing about Ben and JLo's commercial, not to mention Verizon paid her 3O MILLION dollars for the commercial. It's the SUPERBOWL for crying out loud!
The man is a PERFORMER for sure, phenomenal on stage! I would love to see him 🤩 i agree about some of it feeling rushed but like you said there’s only so much time
She didin’t steal anything, usher was the king that night!!!🎉🎉
I don't think Usher was shading Chris Brown because they recently shared the stage at one of his Vegas show and he welcome him with open arms. In the past they did multiple songs with one another and I think they probably might do another soon.
Agreed. Usher wasn’t shading Chris Brown. But if he were it’d be dumb cause he’s the one who suggested CB in the first place. I often think many of these TH-camrs, Bloggers are paid to push BS narratives against an artist the industry be hating on. There’s rarely any facts to support, but throw an allegedly or claim of having a “blind item” and that’s enough to push whatever nonsense narrative that comes to mind. It’s an absolute shame.
I Agree. I'm thinking that Jacquees guy who claimed himself as king of R&B
He really wasn’t!!
Sometimes sis be reaching with her thoughts. She isn’t always right. Which is ok because her commentary is basically her opinion. One thing she said I will agree with is Alicia’s vocals
I m a 90's girl and I love usher and I think he is the goat, but I hate how we always try to make beef between people. Let's face it usher is a king but so is Chris they both have there own lanes and that should be respected instead of trying to cause problems between them we know they already had issues but as it has been stated usher brought him out on stage. I just hate to see how we as black people love to see division all the time. But on a positive note usher did his thang!!!
Yasss Empressive I got the same feeling very eerie, gave me home going as well. 😢 There's just something deeper.
Expressive please lol. Beyoncé didn’t steal Ushers moment. Anytime Beyoncé drops anything people give it attention 🤷🏾♀️. I think Usher did wonderful
Yes, Beyoncé did! She chose strategically to air her commercial during SB and drop music SB night. She could’ve aired her Verizon commercial and released her new music tracks this week. Let’s not be blind and gullible. JayZ and Beyoncé been doing this type of shade for years. Now media is talking more about Beyoncé than Usher’s SB performance.
Thank you Same!💯
@@EastpointeWrong, everyone's talking about both."🤣🤣
@@EastpointeExactly! Let Taylor announce she's pregnant or engaged when Beyonce releases something! Those bees will sting theirselves to death! 😂
@@Eastpointe it’s the fact she put out two new songs for me. That was extra
Usher showed up and showed out! Amazing job now this was a halftime show! 🎉❤
He came up in an era where you had to have talent and be the full package to be successful. I'm glad they're still recognizing people like him.
He’s a legend ❤ and his music is timeless especially for us millennials
Nothing Beyoncé could have done to take away from that performance. It was 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
If Chris never wanted to do a versus against Usher, how would Usher be talking about Chris? That doesn't make any sense.
They be hating
Right lol those 2 are cool, like many friends ups n downs but they respect one another tremendously
Usher NEVER disappoints. He is a fantastic singer and an INCREDIBLE performer. Few people have obtained his level of talent as a performer. He’s with the likes of Frank Sinatra, Micheal Jackson , Prince, and the likes of those entertainers. Not even Beyoncé despite she is worshipped like a god. Sure Beyoncé puts on a performance but Usher is THE performer and whether he has a matching band behind him or he’s on the skating ring you will get a performer’s performance. The man is AWESOME!!!
Two things can be appreciated at once…Usher can be the topic of conversation and Beyonce can too. There’s room for both! I don’t know why people feel like only one person can be great at a time.
Exactly we can ALL shine together 😊
Can Taylor and Beyonce both shine at the grammys? Nope! Only Taylor can!
Usher’s moment was his moment. I loved his performance very refreshing 10’s!!!! Beyoncé had a million dollar campaign with Verizon, why not capitalize and use that for marketing. That lady is a business woman those singles was in the vault ready lol Thank you for the great commentary per usual ❤
30 million dollars*
Girl, keep in mind Usher has a lot of classics. It wasnt rushed at all. He gave us the greatest show we've had in a minute. I enjoyed the show. Definitely would watch it again. Period 💯
Best 13 minute I’ve ever seen 💙Great job Usher
Usher was fantastic! The dancing was on point. Seeing Alicia, H.E.R., Luda and Lil John was a pleasant surprise. He paid homage to MJ with gloves.😎
I also feel like Beyonce always upstages others. I won't be buying the new album. Love that Usher included other artists on his night...speaks volumes of him opening pathways for others. He is confident in his craft and I love this! ❤️ Beyonce did what she did intentionally...her commercial aired right after half-time. I think this is a true testament to who she really is...her fans are slipping and have been snowed 😂 That meekness is an act...lol
You probably was not going to get it anyways. We don’t care 😂
THANK YOU....tired of this broad.
H.E.R. in this performance reminded me of Left Eye from TLC. GREAT SHOW!!! Yes!
Yes !!!! Good point
Bey is selfish, but ppl won't admit it. She has a pattern.
