I cannot think of any male artist more deserving of a halftime show than Usher. And it’s unfortunate that it has become kinda trendy on Twitter to downplay Usher’s success and overall career. People like to discount everything he achieved in the 90’s and 00’s, but this man is a legend. He has *more than enough material* to choose from for his 13-minute set. Eighteen top 10 Billboard hits and *NINE #1 SINGLES* , please do not play in Usher’s face.

@@lox7923 I understand what you're saying, but is Usher a big name in the non black community in the UK? The superbowl half time acts traditionally have to be a big popular name amongst a cross section of different groups of people.

Who cares how famous he is in UK. Last I checked, the Super Bowl took place in the US, and he is a legend here.
The fact that he hasn’t performed for the Super Bowl is criminally insane

This what the status of King of R&B looks like. Usher has been on stages with Michael Jackson, Janet Jackson, Beyoncé, Mary J. Blige, Stevie Wonders and the best of the best. He deserves this more than any entertainer today especially being in Vegas! He gets to commemorate his residency in a Super Bowl performance is ICONIC!

His voice is unbelievable, so glad he’s performing Halftime Show next year!!!!
i am so happy about this. Superbowl is long overdue. His voice and moves are untouched. King of R&B. He is so humble and seems so happy and at peace in recent years. He is due for a massive comeback, i feel he really wants this time around and it would be so deserving. All his latest songs were fire.
Congratulations Usher!!! You are truly ready for this amazing opportunity and we are here for you!!!!! Your moment has come!!! Those 13 mins are going to be EPIC!!!!! Another milestone in your amazing legacy!!! 🎉🏈🎉🏈🎉🏈
You can see, hear and feel the gratitude he has for this moment. It's been a long time coming, overdue in fact, but it's all happening when it's supposed to. Congratulations, Usher. This is well deserved. We'll be counting down to Feburary 11. Give us a show to remember!

Think it’s safe to say that Ushers the greatest RnB artist of all time. He’ll have one of the best performances you’ve ever seen at the Super Bowl.

one thing i appreciate about Usher, is how his energy & vibe never changed thru the years, with all the new eras/trends. we've a lot of OGs turn into jokes, tryna fit in with the internet kids. Usher didnt. his personality is a throwback to the 90s, early 00s. he never became a washed up hypebeast, tryna fit in with the social media era.
Soon as I hear caught up IM GOING INNNNNNNN🥰🥰🥰🥰
Congrats my guy I’m going to see him in Vegas next month I can’t wait it’s going to Dee like I’m at his Super Bowl
Love usher’s style these days

I bet he's going get inducted into the rock and roll hall of fame!
Even if you dont like his music prepare to be entertained cause thats what he do if you feeling down his music/radio uplifts you I kid you not I grew up listening to you it was very much long over due!
Honoured to have actually witnessed this legend front row 🥹
A great artist and very classy as always. GOAT.
