Apple Music Super Bowl LVIII Halftime Show starring Usher | 3 Emmy noms


Recommended Posts

Usher did a great job. His dancing is on point, the outfits were great and I loved the celebration of his city and the culture. Sure he was winded at points, but I give him props for the effort. Loved the ending. Lil Jon looked good AF too and I appreciated the surprise artists, voice crack and all. 

 

The only issue was the song choices, too many songs and too many from Confessions, which I understand is his most successful album and it's 20 years ago, but that's what happens when you have too many hits!

Rih cleared that with EASE. Her show looked so clean and perfected.

he was amazing. the show was amazing. the guests were amazing. :clap3:

One of my alltime favorite shows. He gave his everything and left his heart on the field. An iconic artist with an iconic catalogue of hits. Did all that at 45, meanwhile yall be physically 60 yr olds at 30 hating from your parents' basements. :heart:

It was meh to me. Too many songs like Rihanna where they didn't get any time and felt like a speedrun. Also, the choreography and staging wasn't very good imo.

The beginning was kinda weak (feel like the audio was off in the broadcast tho), but it picked up and Yeah! was a nice climax.. definitely should have started with Scream/DJ got us falling in love and then transition into the more slow songs tho.
The beginning and end are always the most important part of the halftime show and i feel like if you dont come out with a banger people will immediately be like 'meh'
Still a great performer :clap3:

Usher said he's bringing Atlanta to the halftime show! No way he’s skipping his rnb hits like you make me wanna, u got it bad,burn or caught up 

Well he only skipped You make me wanna be he indeed focused on his rnb hits :clap3:! I’m glad he paid dust to his edm songs except ofc his best one aka OMG!
 

Her and Will iam weren’t needed lol, I even thought it was Kanye for a second :rip:.
Same for JD, I thought it was Ceelo :deadbanana4:. I wish Lil Jon performed Snap your fingers instead of Turn down for what… 

And Alicia sounded so bad, what happened to her voice??? 

 

Overall it was a good show, but the stage design, especially at the beginning when he danced on the grass looked weird!

To compare Usher singing, dancing, and even skating to whatever Rihanna was doing last year is kind of insulting IMO

Meh it was fine but very forgettable. Alicia’s part was atrocious 

Posted

This was bad. Not as bad as Bruno/Coldplay and the HipHop one but this was bad. 

Posted

Compared to the women.. it was kinda meh. But I love Usher and I commend him for PERFORMING. Was it messy? Yes. Too many songs, too much going on. But us ATRL gays always drag men for doing NOTHING so I appreciate the show he put on 

Posted

I think he did great...the production was not amazing though and I wonder how much of it is his fault 

Posted

More or less in line with Justin's rather underwhelming second performance.

 

Confessions/Burn was nice.

 

He relied way too hard on the playback, and the staging during Caught Up looked really messy. Overall, he kind of dropped the ball.

Posted

He did so great but I felt bored while watching and I can't even tell why.

ATRL is used to cheap props and gimmicks and it’s understandable why they didn’t like Rihanna’s performance which was so organised, clean and ahead of its time!

 

The GP has spoken and it’ll remain the most recreated performance in History for a very longggg time :clap3:Usher did good though. The first half was a snooze.

This was boring as expected, it won’t be remembered in the future

The performance was fine, but nothing more than that. It certainly is not one of the best.

As some users pointed out, there were way too many songs included - I would rather have less songs and make the performance cleaner.

 

Also wtf was that camera work? Truly awful at times.

That was a really impressive performance. It's good to see one of the MPBs return to form. He brought energy, sex appeal, and vocals. Triple threat :clap3:

Usher performed great but I feel like they didn't have a great vision for this. The staging was rather poor, especially in the beggining. 

 

The best part was definitely the middle with the Alicia appearence, Let It Burn & You Got it bad. The roller blades were cool too.
