Usher's singing LIVE because most people DON'T. USHER is THE MAN

Dude can't win. If he relied more on the backing track.... "Wow, you mean he was lip syncing!?" If he does it himself while dancing his ass off and sweating bricks, then "The vocals were okay." I think he killed it.

@@takerkellygiveusbacktupac617 usher can barely hear the musicians due to crowd and echo. That’s why he and the musicians have foldback and backing tracks hooked in their ears through in-ear monitors. Foldback is so he can hear himself and pitch correctly and in time. For reference, when usher takes his shirt off you can see the wire going down his back.

"Extravagantly fabulous" is an accurately beautiful description of the show.

14:43 That seven o'clock on the dot part was literally happening at 7 pm. The attention to detail and the precision in his stylistic choices, choreographies and performances are out of this world.

I am shocked that he sang live while dancing THAT HARD! But he did an amazing job!!! I don’t think people realize how hard it is to move that much and sing. I LOVED IT. Swag was on 1,000!🔥 FYI, this generation is only used to hearing artists lip sync. They haven’t heard live vocals in a decade. This is is real voice without auto tune. Regarding the costumes…he is borrowing from his Las Vegas show. It’s very Vegas. And yes, they did overdub Alicia’s voice crack.

I can confirm the field band was actually banding and not just dancing with an instrument

That proves how fit Usher is to sing live, dance and be able to control his voice so perfectly.

Facts and at 45

His vocals was on point

Love this performance! No complaints. Those imperfections just make me want to watch this more.

The Band is really playing. That band is the famous JSU Sonic Boom.

Correction. That band is Jackson State University Marching Band. One of the most respected Historically Black College/University bands. They were DEFINITELY playing and dancing. HBCU bands are serious about actually playing on the field. No horn holders lol.

Why people are more and more "unforgiving" is because we live in a society where you can sit your ass on the fucking couch all day, going through your shitty, unimpressive in the least live, but you have the internet where you can anonymously state your biased and limited opinions and feel like "someone". If you pay attention, most, if not all of the critiques have no foundation to them, they literally are only based on opinions and not an actual observation of what is happening. Nothing of actual value is spoken in any of those critiques....or should I say judgements.

Despite her cracks at the beginning, Alicia was able to adjust herself at light speed and pulled off a spectacular show. That says how experienced, skillful and talented she is. People who made a big deal of that mishap should stop their computers and phones and get into the real world to perfom some real jobs, you will soon realize mistakes are part of our human lives, and they are not our enemies.

Also, she was heavily corseted. it must've been hard to get a breath. props to Alicia

Your reaction was profoundly accurate and the most educate one I've seen on Usher's half-time performance. When you put performance over preference and combine the level of difficulty with quality, Usher's half-time performance surpasses his predecessors including Dr. Dre, Bruno Mars, Beyoncé, Rihanna's etc. For years, Usher has been the only mainstream singer/dancer that has TRULY committed to singing & dancing LIVE. His performance was physically the most impressive half-time performances I've ever seen. Despite how physical his performance was in nature, his breath-control & vocal stability was extraordinary. Usher is EXTREMELY underappreciated for an artist of his level. Those who dare criticize his performance typically harbor bias and are profoundly ignorant. Thank you.

She cracked at the very beginning and then performed flawlessly. If anything it makes me love her more.

Glad that you're impressed...Usher ATE this performance from beginning to end. Shout out to H.E.R. for the blazing guitar solo. A respected singer/musician in her own right. She and Usher have a beautiful duet On the soundtrack for music inspired by The Color Purple movie.💜💜

16:38 Again, the small little details, that swinging or swiveling (...not sure what to call it) of the mic while he is is also spinning ....just superb. And the mic itself is gorgeous.

I love that! That’s like his signature thing for that song. In his older performances of that song he’d really have that mic stand moving haha but I know he didn’t wanna push the mic too hard so it wouldn’t fall. He’s great

Usher was singing live. No question.

旁邊的marching band是真的有吹奏喔! 我以前玩樂旗隊的,我們必須練習邊走位甚至邊跳舞的狀態下演奏樂器 但我必須佩服現場的PA整體調整,可以做到完美平衡

Some people just have always something to say when they can’t even do it themselves 😂😅 I loved ur reaction & I agree I loved the performance, he came out when it was required to be the full package dancing, singing live(because AI didn’t exist) & ppl are trying to poop on that amazing performance ❤

People are only complaining about Alicia Key's vocals.

Jackson State University Sonic Boom of the South marching band is playing live. The guitar solo by H.E.R. is live. She's known for her guitar shredding. She is the first and only Black woman with her name on a Fender Stratocaster model. I loved the live vocals. If I wanted to hear polished vocals, I'd buy the CD or vinyl. Usher is a true showman.

Usher is a worldwide force of nature while performing live. His voice is so unique. I never would understand why people complain about an Usher live performance. 😮. Maybe people are racist?

Great analysis! Usher’s performance was AMAZZZZZING!! ✨

usher is a legend. smooth as always. this entire show is brimming with talent and hard work. so much fun to sing and move along to familiar tunes hehe. influence is a powerful and unmistakable thing-watching this makes me think of mj, and also taeyang

you know you can sing...we see ya bring out that soul...at the end,.🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

That's Jackson State Sonic Boom Band and yes they are playing live.

There was an Orchestra right there with live instruments. Percussion instruments were live like sax, trumpets.

THANK YOU!!!! Your reaction was soooo accurate & refreshing. Usher is the best singer/dancer of his generation male or female. He has the unique ability to execute intricate dance sequences while simultaneously executing challenging vocal sequences LIVE (No pre-recorded tracks, auto-tunes, AI etc.) which makes his half-time performance all the more impressive & arguably one of the greatest of all time due to the degree of difficulty & quality. Anyway, there are a lot of people who harbor bias against Black male singers/dancers and that sentiment is often reflected on social media. The art form that's most accepting of Black men is rap. The very notion of the Black male singer/dancer is becoming less acceptable in America & within the Black community . Black male singers/dancers are often mocked & shamed on social media especially by Black people. I think much of it has to do with rap & how it reinforces certain racial stereotypes that people are most comfortable seeing Black men portray in music. It's easier for people to embrace Black male rappers than Black male singers/dancers and that's partially why extraordinary Black male artist like Usher gets VERY unfair criticism while Black female singers/dancers are culturally viewed more favorably. What Usher does is EXTREMELY underappreciated in today's culture, and it's sad. I'm so glad you were so objective & unapologetically touted his greatness. Thank you.

The band is 1000% PLAYING THE INSTRUMENTS! They are the world famous JSU MARCHING BAND!!!

All the colors are from his Vegas residency, and the skating is a part of Atlanta culture. And Usher is a good skater, look him up

Great performance, live vocals, Vegas elements then brining back to Atlanta ❤

At first watch his performance probably seems "a lot" .....in the sense of having a lot of things happening and a mash of all the songs. It can be a bit overwhelming and not being able to follow all that is taking place. This is also more accurate for other cultures and ones who are not in the Las Vegas spirit, as this was a theme for the whole performance (a beautiful tying the knot for the Las Vegas residency of Usher). For Americans having this over the top show might have been normal. . However, because of all that is happening throughout the performance, it has a great rewatchability. You will notice the STORY that he is telling with lyrics from his various songs, the precise meaning they have for certain moments, and the spectacular attention to detail in the smallest of things.... and there were SO many things. Imagine the craftmanship of putting all of that together. And performing it in real time. . Not surprising, with such a HUGE audience for this kind of NFL performance, the majority of people won't even be able to scratch the surface of the Potency of this masterpiece of a performance. The more one is tuned into the depth of a certain craft (singing, dancing, performing, entertaining, etc..) they will be able to recognize the Mastery that is being showcased. So that being said, I do appreciate this video from your enthusiasm of watching it, but not from a "let's have fun and dance on it" kind of way, but the enjoyment of it in its depth and marvelous accomplishment. In the same time making some very pertinent points on it.

I dunno I thought Usher’s vocals were great considering he was dancing like crazy too. Alicia…. Maybe should have warmed up more.

Should do a reaction to his tiny desk concert

Usher is King of R&B

That's Mississippi Jackson State Sonic Boom, the band was banding, they dance and play. Look them up

it is a great performance

Grande Usher

Alicia is married. Swizz Beats is her husband and a well-respected music producer.

Uh....god damn, you have a beautiful voice. Di not see that ending coming.

​Meh, don't care that they fixed it for Keys, we know she can sing that, I can see why they would want to preserve this in better quality because it was such a big night.

That’s the world famous Jackson State University Sonic Boom and they are playing live.

The best MJ super bowl

Usher is 45 , don't forget that part 😂

Jackson State actually dances and plays at the same time..they are really playing.

So what if it did no one is perfect. They all Crack eventually. She did amazing.

She wasn't a suprise lol they announced her days before the game

I got corrected you ma’am The was playing live see the band is my old college Jackson state University Thee Sonic Boom! Of The South I have a Cuzin in the band performing at the super bowel the ones that went had to Sign A NDA and practice for this performance and played live this was major for the State of Mississippi and HBCUs

I always feel Alicia Keys doesn’t close hard enough when she compresses in her high notes. It always always feels like she’s about to crack

I watched it live. I thought she was getting over a cold.

Yes it’s a marching band theyre live and mic’d but not all individually

yes the namds play and dance it heaviy done in hbcu's. so its not a tape you have to learn a routiine and do it while playing

I pretend to be famous at home, I’ve danced and sang at the same time and it’s extremely hard. Doesn’t matter how in shape you are, it sucks a lot of energy out of you and your breathing becomes intense. Anyway, I loved the live vocals, my only complaint is I wanted to hear him more but I know the mic volume was adjusted for a reason. Beyond that, any complaints from society is just that complaints. So what if Alicia’s vocals cracked, she’s human, what if she is developing a cold or the flu and still showed up?!? What if her vocals are exhausted from practicing? As if! Anyone complaining about it can’t simply enjoy the art and beauty of this entire performance even with its small flaws. It was amazing, and best of all, it was iconic because Usher is an amazing singer and performer.

the live audio during the whole show was so bad. they fixed it here

May we get the subtitles of mandarin version? I love the content!!!

You're shocked at how unforgiving people are? Really?

Ma'am....the band is BANDING! Look up Jackson State University band and other HBCU bands

It’s my opinion: You guys omg that’s a real band Jackson State Sonic Boom band……all HBCU historical black colleges do this….. these are college kids with excellent musical abilities and the two guys dancing with Usher are fraternity brothers…… HBCU Colleges have the best bands look them up! Look at the battle of the bands happen each year in New Orleans Southern university Vs… Garbling University bands…..and yes H.E.R with the electric guitar is really playing it~ and China do not have R& B but many copy the style……

Rozette 终于穿新衣了

16:26 Right after "He looks god" ....I think he heard you, because he just got undressed. ;)))

How is anyone going to complain when they're sitting there watching these awful rappers doing auto-tune with female hair extensions who can't rap or sing in today's market

Usher除了躲了几句（不少句？）歌词以外 开口唱的部分音准和质量都拉满了吧 这种水平的表演也要抱怨了吗 观众一届比一届难伺候了（

你好 如果您能看到的话 我知道老师一直的愿望是想听JJ翻唱迈克杰克逊的歌曲 如果可能的话 JJ早期翻唱了一首U are not alone 可以给老师听一下吗🎉她肯定很幸福

I strongly suggest you to check the Super Bowl live show of Lady Gaga. I think she might be the only artist who can dance and sing at the same time. Also, give you the best performance and vocal. Even Beyoncé couldn’t do as well as Lady Gaga. Trust me.. you won’t disappoint.

想看Gaga的reaction

Still waiting to kz tandingan say something reaction ❤😊

did he just say one of the beat marching bands in the country isnt banding? Chile, stop.

Why do some reactors show the video while others blurr it?

She needs to stop smoking weed.

Honestly, I feel like there’s not really any excuse for the crack on the first note. Performance wise, this halftime show is really just mediocre. I much prefer Beyoncé, lady Gaga, and Bruno Mars halftime show
