I am a 58 year old lady, Usher has been KILLING it since he was a teen! His voice is like wine, it gets better with time! When he does a show, you get your money's worth. He has a gift from God, and he loves his profession.❤

I love that he took his glasses off and didn't do a whole interview hiding. That speaks volumes, and his confidence just flows over into his appeal even more.

I was so glad too I thought oh No Usher going down this route too. He took them off and the interview flowed nicely. I so disrespectful when these celebs wear sunshades being interview Ed it does not allow you to feel the person being interview it acts as a barrier its not cool it just silly. So glad Usher took them off.

@kristopherdavis2715, Huh...? Please, help me out here, what do you mean it bothers you that Usher's "just now" today getting his flowers? Seriously, my friend I don't get it. I mean Usher was given by his fans, peers, critics & the music industry around the world a long time ago, "8 Grammy's, 18 Billboard Music Awards, 9 Soul Train Music Awards, 8 AMA's, a star imbedded on the Hollywood Walk of Fame," & I haven't even scratched the surface yet. FFS, almost 20 years ago the "Godfather of Soul, James Brown," performed a duet with Usher @The Grammy Awards. On top of that, James Brown himself honored Usher by dubbing him the "Godson of Soul." Usher has often been called an "icon" along with being referred to AKA "King of R&B" & "Mr. Entertainment" for years due to the impact & influence he's had & contributed to the world of music. Usher was also honored by "The BET Honors" 10 years ago & the award was presented by the man who Usher arguably stole his crown, "Bobby Brown." Which if you know anything about Bobby's ego back in the day? Bobby still gave Usher the respect he deserved, telling Usher he was the man & a game changer who paved the way for other R&B artists to come. Ne-Yo been quoted in saying that if it wasn't for Usher there wouldn't be a Ne-Yo, Chris Brown or Trey Songz, etc... Sorry for the rant but I thought I'd lay it down for you a little bit as a reminder of just a few things & ways Usher continues to be given his props & acknowledged for years, ya dig? Just keeping it a buck here! ++Peace, Funk & Rock n' Roll 4 Your Soul My Friend++ 🤘😎🤘

It seems Usher has always been very popular! I can remember him from long ago. He is such a class act for many reasons. I’m glad we got to see this video.
I love the space Usher is in. It’s like he’s able to just have fun and enjoy himself and all of his hard work.
Usher is going to give the viewers a great Super Bowl Performance. He got the full package which is the vocals, dance moves, music and know how to have great stage presence. Congratulations Usher who definitely deserve this opportunity. ❤❤❤
Usher has always been one of my favorite male artists. And has always been an amazing performer.
If he brings out anyone, it should be Ludacris and Lil’ John. Bring ATLANTA to the Super Bowl! Usher MORE THAN DESERVES THIS. He is a truly talented entertainer. Just amazing and still adorable in his 40’s.

Usher is such a gentlemen hes so comfortable around ladies regardless of their ages thats due to respect he has for his mother. Such a lovely gesture given them roses how sweet they will cherish that for ever more They will defo go to Vegas and see the show. It was really lovely to see them act like high school kids they were gushing. Only Usher has that affect.
Legend , Usher Show in Vegas was AWWWESOME!!!
Saw him at his Vegas residency for 55th birthday in July and he doesn’t disappoint . I was there the night of the infamous KeKe Palmer serenade. 😊 I also saw him at The New Orleans Jazz fest with the Roots.
It's interesting to see this other side of Usher. He's an amazing performer but also a caring and intentional father who loves his children.
Epitome of just a cool dude. Just smooth. Love him!❤
I was diagnosed at the age of six as well. Thirty years and I’m still going strong. I have my bad days every now and then, you just gotta keep pushin forward
Usher is just too fine!! So well spoken i just love him!!
The way Hoda gripped the back of his head!! ✌🏾🤣

Usher is definitely one of the 🐐s of music period! Dude been around for along time
Mariah And Usher is going to be epic 🎤
This was me in Vegas leaning in on the edge of my seat 💺 . One of the BEST concerts 🔥🔥
Usher been my Big brother since "My Way" and it's crazy how that Album is already over 25 years old!!! "8701" my favorite Usher Album and still Highly Underrated and it's 22 years for that. And Next Year makes 20 years for "Confessions" can't wait. In Conclusion, Usher is the R&B Prince 👑🐐🎤 MJ 👑 Little Brother, like MJ 23🐐 is to Kobe Bryant Jr. 🐐🙏🕊️ Usher deserves his flowers and The Superbowl Halftime show about time for that btw ☺️👏

Honestly as a fan of Usher's I can definitely say he's been doing such a tremendous job since the beginning of his career. And truly I love his songs and his performances. And I can't hardly wait when he performs at the Super bowl Halftime show cause it's gonna be amazing❤
He’s so handsome ❤️
Listen, Usher don't need a guest. I just saw him a few weeks ago in Vegas. AH-MAZING!!!!!!!!!!
Hoda quivering hugging him cracks me up 😂 I'm going to be in Vegas during the superbowl but not at the game. I cannot wait to be in the presence of all those fancy people but to pass by Usher would be wiiild. (Also he's from ATL my fam is from ATL, I'm from KC area and if the chiefs go all the way again that would also be wild)
Just saw Usher last weekend. Amazing performance. Legend!
I said so mature and he speaks well. His mother raised him well I like his style and his charisma. God bless you Asher and your family.🙏🏽😘😍🥰
Usher!!!!❤🎉😊
Living Legend King Usher 👑 He such a sweet guy(The roses❤) I just love him..(So humble)..The Super Bowl is gonna be SO GOOD! The anticipation is so exciting
Legend 👑❤
They were so smitten by him!! It was the cutest thing ❤. They were so engulfed in him, that they let him dodge that question about his partner/girlfriend. Usher be too smooth with it. Haha
I like that he spoke openly about his child's health challenges to raise awareness..
I don’t really have time to watch this interview. And I made the time because it’s Usher. He is so intelligent and very thoughtful about everything. Grateful I could hear him today with Hoda and Jenna.
Well mannered, good-looking, and great person. What else can one ask for?
Usher is simply fabulous!! He’s amazing! He has a WONDERFUL CAREER…And he’s a wonderful entertainer👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 Congratulations Usher Raymond…Enjoy❤️❤️❤️❤️
USHER is still the man. UNSTOPPABLE. He still got it going on.. He never seem to sop amazing me with his vocal and performance. He most definitely will go down in history has one of the greatest stars that perform on this earth. AS A BAD BOY.. A LEGENDARY. .
I can’t wait for the Super Bowl! ❤. I will take the pledge! 😊
Super Bowl LVIII was going to be great on February 11, 2024 as I can see Usher on T.V.!
Ready for Usher at the SUPERBOWL. ❤
USHER SING "HERE I STAND"..!!!💖💜💖💜💖💜💖💜💖💜💖💜💖💜

Usher been the new king since 2003 . Finally he will be crowned with the superbowl. Usher is nostalgic Atlanta and so I know what his performance could be.
The way Usher is getting so much love these days is wonderful to see. Also would like to know where he and Lenny Kravitz found the Fountain of Youth so I can head there...

Lenny is 15 years older than Usher. Don’t get me wrong still looks younger than his age. But he’s 45… that’s not really that old. Now Lenny at 59 looking like he’s in his late 20’s/early 30’s… is on that Vampire Ish.
Usher is awesome guy
Angelic voice, incredible singer Usher!!!!!
He still looks like in late twenties age beautifully
The Vegas show is so worth the time and money
I'm an older lady and I love me some Usher and that voice ❤
I’ve been waiting on a new album. YAY!
I love a lot of his songs he's so handsome❤❤
I am so happy for Usher. They say 3 times is a charm. I wish him nothing but the best going into his 3rd marriage.
I saw him in Vegas in April! He's phenomenal and such a humble and down to earth person. I love me some him💙💙💙💙💙🧓
