Isn't this for the SB overall and not the Halftime Show? I'll be surprised if he breaks the Halftime record with such a small push in his discography

Idk much about Usher, but I think it's weird how that will.i.am collab made the cut and DJ Got Us Falling In Love Again didn't, for me one of THE defining songs of the early 2010s and surely more remembered. Would've fit so well too.

Also the fact that OMG was already performed by Will.i.am and Usher at the Super Bowl in 2011. I think out of all songs to ever exist… that one certainly doesn’t need multiple SB performances. :dies:

How is this similar to last year? Or the year before? Or the one before that?

"Formulaic" means they all follow the same formula. Small snippets of past hits, with a million things going on the background. I get that it's meant to be a mini concert, but it feels a little stale. 

 

How are you going to argue that most of these halftime shows aren't basically the same thing every year but with different artists? :deadbanana:

What's with OMG hate? :biblio:

That one song is peak R&B/Pop stars stepping into EDM sound

 

Also mind you, OMG is blocking California Gurls for weeks as well

While DJ Got Us falling In Love is just a cute Top 5 hit

He did great. I think the main areas of improvement would have been having a more epic and bombastic ending (the ending as is is just a bit sudden and anticlimactic), the start should have been more pronounced to build hype, and some of the camera work. Other than that, it was really good. Enjoyed it. Usher really put his all into the performance—the roller skates part was crazy.

I agree with all of this.

He’s a great performer but set list was awful. Couldn’t recognize half the songs due to him not singing/focusing on dancing + they all blended into one boring medley. Uptempo songs like U-Turn and DJ deserved to be performed.

The show was quite boring.

Nothing comes close to Katy Perry, Madonna and Shakira/JLO

GaGa is the best one.

I Love U-turn but was a flop. Also not performing OMG two times in the same show (and i dont like). And not perform Dj or U Remind Me.

Boring.

the way y’all stay clinging onto the ‘she wasn’t moving’ narrative when she did choreography on like 9 of the 12 songs she performed is hilarious 😭 she wasn’t jumping up and down and doing backflips while 4 months pregnant, shocker!

Sweetie I LOVE rih rih and I actually think she can carry on a choreography but all I remember last year was all of my friends waiting for something to happen and nothing. Sure we didn’t know she was pregnant but I don’t recall her doing any choreo. And that’s fine, she delivered a different type of show. It was visually spectacular and she slayed her classic Rihanna swag but usher delivered something I prefer more which is just simple old school choreo with some dancers on stage 🤷‍♀️

I didnt like the performance. For me, it was boring. Nothing special, just award show performance. 

I expected more.

It took me a bit to figure it out but it was H.E.R :rip: how she manages to sneak herself into these things whilst being such a non factor is beyond me :deadbanana:

@Espresso @Reflektor_Creep

Did Usher not say this Superbowl was celebrating R&B?

 

The girl who is the only Black female in history to own her own signature fender guitar, is on Usher's new album and is the 4th most relevant R&B female today after SZA, Summer Walker & Jhene Aiko OBJECTIVELY is not anywhere near the hints of a sneak. Literally all 4 of these artists have at least 1 album above 2M sales in the US, and multiple albums above 1M.

 

Summer Walker is the only other one that plays guitar:rip: And she ain't no performer:redface:

 

 Maybe support more talented artists to be more relevant in the mainstream who can play instruments since y'all hate H.E.R so much here🤡:rip:

 

 Because clearly her career is in for the long road, imagine y'all still fuming 5 years later from now which would be over 10 years after her debut:bibliahh:
