I hope Alicia Keys joins him too! 

I need her to perform "my boo" and "in common" 

[Maxine Puth 9,053]

I think his legacy is still kinda up in the air, he’s very much a 2000s/early 2010s throwback artist (as opposed to a legacy act) but one could’ve said the same about Gaga back in 2016 and she did well. Maybe this can push him to his next peak. 

[Guillaume Hamon 6,503]

He's an amazing singer/dancer and folks will be reminded of that watching the show.

Who cares if he doesn't have recent hits? He has a long list of old hits to sing.

I like usher but why are they doing a hip-hop/rnb artist for the 4th year in a row.

Couldn't it be someone relevant?

Gaga wasn’t relevant in 2017 so watch yourself

Can we really count riri as an hip-hop/ r&b act? Her set had a lot of pop and dance too.

Tbh I think they kinda used all the "big enough for the SB" popstars aside Taylor and at this point... And Pink if we count her as a popstar.

I heard rumors there were talks about Boybands & Girlbands Fiesta, (*NSYNC, BSB, Destiny's Child, and more) for next year halftime, before Usher is announced. Maybe just a rumor or something fell thru

Since when did Rihanna become a hip-hop/rnb artist?  Most of her music and big hits are dance pop

[Lanadelduck 1,991]

MEH. but I have an open mind.

Gaga was the biggest popstar in the world between 2008-2012, close to the peak of Madonna and Janet Jackson. She also gained traction after the sound of music performance, cheek to cheek and till it happens to you Oscar performance. So not as relevant as 2012 but there was only a 4 year gap between biggest superstar in the world and Super Bowl. Plus everyone from a 5 yr old to a 105 year old knows Gaga. 90% of Gen z will have zero idea who usher is

most of the people who attend or watch Super Bowl are those who know Usher's hits, not Gen Z.

90% of Gen z isn’t watching the Super Bowl so there’s that. Also everyone in Gen Z knows who Usher is, as a member of Gen Z who grow up while he was still making hits.
