Usher will headline this year's Superbowl Halftime show

Will be watching the puppy bowl as usual.

Sorry but Prince ruined it for everyone. No one will ever be able to top Purple Rain in the rain.
Usher's got a ton of bangers to pick from. Bad Girl, Yeah!, Burn, etc. But yeah no one can top Prince.

I'm not really a fan of him or his style of music, but at least the dude can actually sing and has talent, and doesn't just talk incoherently into a microphone.

Don't @ me dammit.

“Aww, it’s so...average,” she said to him in a cold brick of passion
I miss when they would have actually talented musicians.


I was hoping after this past Super Bowl's anthem and the reaction to it that maybe they would give it to Chris Stapleton.

Second one is the halftime show.

I keep reading the thread title and thinking Uber instead of usher.
I was like wtf are Uber going to do with halftime, build a mini town on the entire field and have Uber drivers picking up and delivering to people

i feel old... some of y'all saying you haven't heard hide nor hair of Usher and thiought he disappeared or you've never heard his music... and dude is legit 5 years younger than me at 44!

To be fair, I don't think we've heard you're music either DT.

Also, Usher seems like he hasn't aged at all.

Oh please , country music doesn’t appeal to the masses compared to hip-hop. Usher has been in the industry for over quarter of a century, his music is still being played in clubs here in Vegas.

Apparently Jay-Z's company produces the halftime show, so unlikely to see any rock acts ever again. I don't get the appeal of the mor recent acts, but looking at the master list https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Super_Bowl_halftime_shows it was never a real draw outside of just a couple like Prince or Michael Jackson. Always a seeming random group of mostly has-beens and it bands that faded later on. Lingerie Bowl definitely the superior option :p

I would have sworn on my mothers grave that Metallica did a halftime show once but the wiki list says they didn't. Musta been a really pervasive early 2000's meme or something that just got rooted in my head :p

Let Pantera do it. GUARANTEED the second half is 250% more dynamic and the tackle rate doubles! :p

Plus they wouldn't need a fancy drone show, elaborate stage, or a few dozen gyrating dancers to make them intersting. Spend that cash on a giant animatronic Dimebag Darrell that can actually play!

They are starting to get desperate with this shit.
Does Usher really have a catalog big enough to do a legit halftime show... I guess he will have Luda and Bieber with him...
