Usher’s Apple Music Super Bowl Halftime Show 

USHER IS A LEGEND 🔥

If you’re wondering about the empty drum set, it’s Aaron Spear’s drums, he was Usher’s drummer who very recently passed away. 🕊️

Usher didn't do lip sync bullcrap like everyone else does, and lil Jon added SO MUCH energy to this. This is so rare nowadays, love this show

“How much nostalgia do you want?” Usher: Yes.

I loved that he says momma we made it because she was his original manager. This was a great halftime show.

Anybody else notice the extra drum-set on the stage with nobody playing it? That kit belongs to Mr. Aaron Spears. He was the drummer for Usher and Alicia Keys, (and a few others). He died a few months ago at the age of 47, and his drum set on stage in memorial is a great tribute to the legend in the drumming community.

Who else keeps coming back to this awesome performance? 🔥

Usher is such a showman!!! His stage presence is UNMATCHED! The quick tribute pieces to Teddy P, Marvin Gaye, and The Jackson 5 was incredible. He's been singing since 13 and hes 45 . The breath control, on skates!!! USHER-THE-MIC-IS-ALWAYS-ON-RAYMOND is in fact...A LEGEND.👑

People saying “these are Michael moves not Ushers” who the hell do you think taught Usher to dance? Usher used to look up to him growing up and would study his moves and in 2001, they had a dance off sharing the stage. And a few years prior to Mj’s death they did a few events together and he learned a lot from him. So obviously he had inspired dance moves from Michael.

RU-vid putting ads in between this performance was criminal

Justice is served This is a well deserved tribute to usher career

The last 3 minutes of the show was definitely nostalgia from the early 2010s.

Dude sang since he's 16 and he's 45 now. What a legend.

This wasn't for the kids, this was for they parents!!!! So many hits ya'll!

As a Nigerian viewer, I'm truly impressed by the organization, dance routines, choreography, lights, music arrangement, timing and overall spectacle of the performance. It's evident that America truly excels in show business, and my fellow Black brothers in the USA showcase remarkable talent. The ability to condense such a detailed and rich performance into just 13 minutes is truly amazing. I see pure excellence.

Usher is personal with his messages that "you ain't going to call, but if you do know that God answers prayers" he is truly talented, yet humble and relatable. Beautiful performance

“Hey Mama we made it” that shout out to her melted my heart! 💙🛼🛼

People don't realize the homage and respect Usher brought to the old school half-time shows and the venue. Marching bands were a staple of half-time shows and was long forgotten and brought it back and showed the dazzle and glamor of acrobatic performances Vegas is famous for. All blended together with his old school music and bringing the original performers for his hits rather than doing it solo.

This performance by usher will go down in history as one of the best Superbowl halftime shows next to Michael Jackson, Beyonce, and Dianna Ross.

The mic was on 🎤🎤He gave it his all! 🔥🔥🔥

This guy is running, jumping dancing, and and friggin skating still belting notes. I need a break between trips up and down the stairs with groceries.

The man was dancing & singing at the same time on GRASS and didn't miss a beat! LEGENDARY!

I was up and dancing the whole time! Confessions came out my senior year of high school and the memories came flooding back to me! Hands down one of the best halftime shows I've seen in awhile!

Has nothing but bangers in his discography

Usher delivered. He gave us our entire teenage and university lives back in 13 mins. The transition between his upbeat and slow anthems was fantastic. Bravo!!!!

I WISH music was still like this! Take me back 😭❤️ used to listen to all these songs on the way to our volleyball tournaments to get pumped up and man this takes me back! This was my high school playlist 🙌

Usher did AMAZING this year! I've rewatched this halftime show more times than I'd like to count. So entertaining! Thanks, Usher!

Can we appreciate the fact that he sings LIVE..That is rare nowadays 🙌🙌

My whole childhood in one video 👏🏽

Usher is a PERFORMER ‼️‼️

I was there at the SuperBowl for security detail , it was amazing

I just skimmed thru the comments but I didn't see anyone commend the marching band. They did a phenomenal job as well and I bet it was an honor to be selected.

“How Much Nostalgia Do You WanT” Usher: Yes.

Usher and his team Did That!!

After all these years, Usher is still a beast!

Usher once said in an interview that MJ told him he respected him cause of how he could sing and dance at the same time and he knows exactly how hard that is. This coming from his idol meant more to Usher than any award. Now look at this once in a lifetime show - he definitely SANG & DANCED with all of his heart 😭 LEGEND 💐

Walked into a indoor playground last night with my son. All the tvs were on the halftime show...and every parent was in front of them dancing like they were in their 20s and back at the club 😂.

I just love when he comes out and smiles the camera on his roller skates

Usher did this without no auto tune and special effects!! Top 10 artist of all time 🎉

The fact he was able to squeeze 30 years of his career into a 13 minute show and bring in not one but 6 different artists is truly phenomenal. This man will forever be a legend. On a different note I’m surprised he didn’t sing “I Don’t Mind” “DJ Got Us Falling In Love” and/or “Good Kisser”

Costume Designer: how many outfit changes do you want for the show? Usher: YEAH!

Best halftime show in so long

Bro sang since 16, now he 45 what a legend

It just shows how good the music is from the early 2000's when it is still used today and a lot of people still love it. Great performance.

The fact that Usher is 45 years old, He's still got the moves! ❤

Gotta give Usher his credit this was amazing

THAT 1/2 TIME SUPER BOWL SHOW WAS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!!...PROBABLY ONE OF MY FAVORITE 1/2 TIME SHOWS OF ALL TIME!!!... USHER IS DEFINITELY ONE OF THE GREATEST ARTISTS / ENTERTAINERS OF ALL TIME!!!...LUDA, LIL JOHN, H.E.R., & ALICIA KEYS WERE AWESOME!!!...JERMAINE DUPRI IS A MUSICAL GENIUS!!!...LEGENDARY!!!❤❤❤

He was LIVE the whole time. That's how real entertainers do it.

Live singing while dancing is extremely difficult and this man added SKATES to that equation and executed beautifully!!! An incredible show from an incredible musician.

10:48 Usher's "Yeah" new keyboard melody 11:42 original keyboard melody to Usher's "Yeah," now on Petey Pablo's "Freek-a-Leak"

All these years and we still Love Usher. Incredible performance!!!!❤🎉

Lets take a moment to appreciate that full quick change WITH SKATES

I think some people missed the fact that he showcased and gave platform to a lot...artists gone but never to be forgotten MJ, Prince...HBCUs (band), skaters, dancers...his early career song w/Alicia Keys...AND importantly he addresses his Mom!! He didn't make it just about him. He celebrated the accomplishments of others!! AND The talent and skills of the stage and lighting crew, outfits and behind the scenes people helpng with changing, etc. in 13 to 15 mins👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 I shout out Phenomenal Job!!!

I respect artists who respect their audience by singing live.

Usher is just earned his ICON status!!! While his career already made him a LEGEND, this masterpiece in motion is one of, if not, the BEST Super Bowl Halftime Shows ever!!! The way he used the arena as his stage, selection of guest appearances, pace of the performed songs, his vocal ability while dancing, inclusion skating and stripping and the thoughtful tribute to his legends and the beautiful and heartfelt tribute to his drummer….. I literally have tears in my eyes!!! This is a powerful performance and listening to recent interviews and hearing him speak on his life and how he’s growing and evolving, USHER RAYMOND is a phenomenal BLACK MAN, artist, performer, and human being!!!! Here’s to our living ICON!!!!🎉❤🥰🎊

Usher is 45 and he moves like he’s 20 Aging like wine 👌

Why is no one mentioning the matching band that he had with him... The marching band freaking ROCKED!!! 🥁🥁🥁🎷🎷🎷

After watching this again I'm convinced this may be the best Super Bowl performance.

This generation has missed out on living in some of the best times in hip hop & r&b history. ❤ This is nostalgic.

the fact that he sang live and did all that choreography speaks volumes to why he is a legend

I love that Usher chose to share his moment to shine by bringing with him so many artists that he teamed up with to make these songs that many of us grew up with. He doesn’t forget his friends, that’s class there.

I was definitely jammin to some anthems from my childhood. I grew up listening to Usher, and he still got moves. You also cannot watch Usher perform without him taking his shirt off. This was lit

H.E.R did that!!! Usher, no words needed. The entire show was A1.

Only thing missing was ‘Dj got us falling in love’ such a legend!

" Hey mama, we made it" melt my heart❤

Just had a time to walk through memory lane because I was watching The Weekend's, Dr. Dre, Mary J. Blige, 50 Cent, Kendrick Lamar, Eminem, Snoop Dogg, and now Usher's performance. This is so freaking awesome! Which I watched this sooner.

Wow!!! This show took me back. I sang every single song. Amazing Showman, singer, and dancer. The band was phenomenal, and the guest singers cherry on top. Legend.

H.E.R did her thing with that guitar. Prince would be so proud.

I CANNOT imagine the amount of teamwork it took for all of this coordination.

Usher, Lil John, Luda et al are the reason Gen X and Millenials are still clubbing 😂. We had the privilege of living through the best era in music. These songs are intertwined with the stories of our lives. This was amazing. 10/10. Two thumbs up. Well done Usher.

I have been a fan of Usher since the 90's. He is a legend !

Now this is a true performance. He used EVERY aspect from his life, his Vegas residency, his past, Atlanta and his love to preform. Way to go Usher!!!

Now, that’s what you call a singer! My whole life wrapped up in his career, from high school to clubbing in my 20s 30s, and today there was an usher song for each period of my life.

The most energetic and wildest halftime show ever. This is very fun to watch! 👏

Dont know why so many people disliked this bc Usher is such a great artist

Usher needed more time he has too many hits

As a millennial I've had a blast watching the halftime shows in recent years. It's one legend after another. Brings back so many memories. Usher did amazing!!

Amazing how Lil Jon just has to yell one word and it sounds awesome. LOL

Give me 1,000 replies to this if u think Usher was the perfect singer to bring in this year.

"Hey mama, we made it!" Goosebumps.

Ludacris looked at Usher like he was so proud 🥹

This is wild! Literally the King of RNB. Usher is unbeatable!

Reminder that Usher is almost 50, and still can move like that while singing live.

Not 45 yr old Usher single-handedly bringing us all back to our Roller Rink days. Gon be broken hips and elbow surgeries everywhere.😂

I just noticed that Usher was doing a MJ tribute with the sliver glove 💯

Definitely one of the best halftime shows💖💖

Just wow, give the man his well-deserved roses 🌹 such a one time out of this world talent

Man I almost didn’t want this to end. This is my childhood. Best nostalgic thing I’ve seen in a long while.

The chaos around Lil john was a whole party i swear those people had the most fun including the guy being thrown around 😂

Now this is what I call a Super Bowl Halftime show. Usher really took advantage of the epic scope available and created a spectacle. Well done.

So happy to be a part of this era of music 🔥🔥🔥🙏

The transition from ‘turn down for what’ and ‘Yeah’ 🔥🔥🔥🤌🏻👌🏻

We 90s babies already knew it was going to be lit. Whole childhood in a performance. great call on YTTOKENS btw

That was so good. Like extremely good. You can see all of the work put into that performance. The skate alone, like how? You only get one shot to nail that. Yet he nailed it all. They all did.

Everything I hear him thank God an his Mother I shed some tears,that if never forget the important people

usher gave us want we wanted!! artists don't do it like this anymore. this is the best 2000s throwback i've seen. loved the singing, dancing, rollerskates, marching band, electric guitar AND piano moment and sooo much more, truly perfection. thanks usher and everyone behind this performance.

The part where he says "it's 7 o'clock on the dot" and they put the sundial there for the transition was smooth

How usher is walking down in those stair cases, it’s legendary ❤❤❤

Usher is a Legend. I grew up to listening to hìm.
