Since
Usher
announced
himself
as
the
Super
Bowl
LVIII
halftime
show
headliner
back
in
Sept.
2023,
fans
and
followers
alike
have
been
trying
to
guess
which
hits
the
R&B
star
will
take
to
the
stage
on
Sunday
night.
Of
Usher’s
eight,
going
on
nine
albums,
81
singles,
and
nine
number-one
singles,
here’s
what
we
think
he
will
bring
to
the
2024
Apple
Music
Halftime
Show.

Which
song
will
Usher
sing
first?
Catching
the
ears
of
the
over
100
million
projected
viewers
and
attendees
is
an
easy
feat
when
you
have
generational
hits
like
“Yeah!,”
“Hey
Daddy
(Daddy’s
Home),”
and
“DJ
Got
Us
Fallin’
in
Love.”
These
recognizable
hits
are
essential
to
electrify
the
crowd
before
taking
us
down
memory
lane.
Even
a
sample
take
of
“Peace
up,
A-Town
down”
would
send
the
youngest
fans
into
a
frenzy
to
hear
more
of
the
star.
Undoubtedly,
the
legendary
performer
will
make
a
grandiose
entrance
on
one
of
his
biggest
nights.
This
is
also
not
the
first
appearance
that
the
star
has
made,
dropping
in
(literally,
he
descended
from
the
stadium
ceiling)
to
perform
“OMG”
with
the
Black
Eyed
Peas
in
2011.
We’re
taking
the
hint
that
it
will
be
even
more
of
a
bang
to
start
the
show.
Which
songs
will
Usher
perform?
The
show’s
heart
lies
within
the
deep
catalog
of
the
king’s
chart-topping
R&B
hits
and
club
bangers.
Mash-ups
and
small
samples
are
often
used
during
the
show
to
speedily
hit
all
the
fan-favorite
hits
for
an
artist,
a
tactic
that
Usher
is
almost
guaranteed
to
use
to
take
his
30
years’
worth
of
music
down
to
12
to
14
minutes’
worth
of
a
show.
We’re
looking
at
tracks
including:
“Burn,”
“U
Remind
Me,”
“Love
In
This
Club,”
“Confessions
Part
II,”
and
“U
Don’t
Have
to
Call.”
Usher
is
known
for
having
a
good
time
on-stage
with
hits
like
“Caught
Up”
and
“I
Don’t
Mind.”
A
vocal
highlight
for
the
night
could
include
a
“Superstar”
breakdown,
a
notch
to
the
viral
TikTok
trend
stemming
from
his
NPR
Tiny
Desk
appearance
last
year.

Let’s
not
forget
Usher’s
genre-bending
hits
in
the
EDM
space,
such
as
“OMG”
and
“Scream,”
which
are
fair
contenders
for
time
on
the
setlist.
Which
special
guest(s)
will
he
bring
out?
It’s
customary
for
a
Super
Bowl
halftime
headliner
to
bring
out
guests.
While
Usher
does
not
need
company
on
stage,
he
has
a
catalog
of
hard-hitting
featured
artists
to
call
upon
if
he
so
chooses.
We
might
get
an
Alicia
Keys
appearance
after
her
Grammy
win
last
weekend.
The
duo
share
the
Grammy
award-winning
ballad,
‘My
Boo’,
that
could
see
some
time
on
the
stage
or
at
least
in
a
mash-up.
If
Usher
stays
on
a
pop
flavor
for
the
night,
his
protege,
Justin
Bieber,
could
very
well
take
the
stage.
Bieber
recently
came
from
a
two-year
performance
hiatus
over
NHL
All-Star
Weekend
in
Canada.

The
possibility
of
a
Lil
Jon
appearance
also
has
some
weight.
If
performed
without
him,
fans
would
miss
his
features
on
‘Lovers
and
Friends’
and
‘Yeah!’.
Lil
Jon
also
has
an
album
coming
out
on
Feb.
16.
Usher
and
Chris
Brown
sharing
the
stage
would
not
be
a
“New
Flame,”
as
the
two
powerhouse
performers
could
easily
bring
the
stadium
down
with
their
shared
songs
and
a
possible
touch
of
an
afro
beats
selection.
Solo
dolo
might
be
the
route
Usher
takes
with
this
headlining
performance,
and
we’re
here
for
every
view
and
angle
he
gives
us
for
the
night.
Which
song
will
Usher
sing
last?
Depending
on
the
journey
that
Usher
takes
us
on
in
the
short
time
he
has,
we
are
predicting
a
closing
meant
for
the
fans
who
have
been
rocking
with
him
for
over
30
years.
Usher’s
“Love
in
This
Club”
are
notes
to
end
the
night
on.
A
rendition
of
“Climax,”
special
to
the
Super
Bowl,
could
also
dot
the
performance.

Many
are
pleased
to
know
that
this
won’t
be
the
last
we
see
of
Usher.
He’s
giving
us
a
new
album
and
a
tour!
Following
the
slated
halftime
performance
and
the
momentum
from
the
closing
of
his
two-year
My
Way:
The
Las
Vegas
Residency
run,
the
star
has
announced
his
24-city
tour,
USHER:
Past
Present
Future,
kicking
off
in
late
August.
The
tour
will
feature
music
from
every
era
of
his
career,
including
songs
from
his
ninth
album,
Coming
Home.
The
album
will
debut
on
Feb
9.,
just
days
before
his
headliner
performance.
How
Do
We
Watch
the
Show?
The
Super
Bowl
Halftime
Show
will
be
held
at
Allegiant
Stadium
in
Las
Vegas
on
Sunday,
Feb.
11.

on
“the
most
grand
stage.”
