celeb news Official: Usher for Super Bowl HT 2024

[timothy_b]

He will absolutely destroy that stage! Can’t wait to watch him.

[UnusualBoy]

Usher has hits for days and he is a good performer so I don’t mind this! He will do great!

Reminder that Usher has herpes and didn't tell the women he had sex with, so he gave it to them as well.  He already paid out millions over this and is being sued for millions more.

The lawsuit was dismissed.

I hate how Jay-Z made J.Lo & Shakira (both Queens) share the stage while he gives the full headlining slot to Ursher. They are both more relevant than him

 

People are still asking to this day why Shakira got the MTV VMA Vanguard and you think people wouldn’t have been flabbergasted that she’s doing the SB on her own?

Putting Shakira & JLo together was an inspired choice. Worked out for the best for everyone involved

He is an 'ok' choice...will be a very Justin Timberlake-level performance at the SB

I remember his song where he sang 'yeah' like 50x in the chorus, not exactly a wordsmith.

Usher is definitely going to give more than whatever the hell JT did.

 

And i hate when y’all cherry pick one song to try to indicate an artist’s level of diction. Yeah! being tailor made for radio doesn’t negate any writing capabilities he may have. Just like Look What You Made Me do having a weak, repetitive chorus does not negate Taylor’s songwriting talents. Just as an example.

The uncultured ass white homosexuals in here  Usher has more hits than your faves has songs   We’re not even going to get started on his stage presence

 

I don’t understand why yall love being ignorant towards black artists lmao. 

Let's just call it what it is - anti-black racism. They overrate white artists and devalue black artists w/ actual talent (many who didn't need nepotism to make it in the industry).

[Marry The Gods]

U Remind Me

U Dont Have To Call

Confessions Part 2

My Boo with Alicia Keys as the halftime guest

Yeah!

They seem to only think that pop is synonymous with non-POC, mostly white cisgender women, when it fact we black people are the predecessors and inventors of Rock & Roll, Pop, & R&B as everyone knows it today, but ATRL isn’t ready for that discussion. 

Black people also started country as well even though today it is filled with middle-aged white cisgender men.

 

Black people were always the backbone of most cultural things.

<<The suit took issue with Usher over a 2012 settlement he paid out to a woman for allegedly infecting her. The insurance company said Usher never informed them of that settlement when he signed with them in 2016.

The case dragged on for over a year while Usher dealt with the two legal battles. The $20 million case was quickly settled with the terms of the deal kept confidential.>>

 

It wasn’t dismissed, but settled confidentially, i.e. he payed her.

Y’all should really educate yourselves on the ones who came before your faves. 
 

A simple look at Spotify would’ve answered your question. 
 

 

 

Mary's Joint TASTE SIS!!!!

 

I was literally listening to No More Drama (the album) 4 hours ago!

I am looking forwards to Usher's 90s materials!

what I mean by 'justin timberlake' level performance is 'very straight'

 

he's not going to wear anything super sexy or revealing nor will any male dancers he has

I Agree but JLO and Shakira are white.

It kind of does though. You can’t just take what is considered an artists’ best song and forget the rest. They consider those songs good enough for release, so they are fair game 

[Winged]

With one song on the loop?

Usher is way more deserving than Miley Cyrus.  The replies in here already... 

 

Overdue and DESERVED.

If Katy perry could do it then Miley could now
