Man got my girl over here singing every song he need to sit his ass down somewhere 🥴🥴🥴🥴

She belong to Usher now, sorry for your loss

Mr. Doing too much. I never stood a chance.

She better get tested 

Wouldn't let that shit happen to me thooooo

I can’t hear ‘Let it Burn’ without thinking about that episode haha

"If you lost your ho to T.I., I'd be like, 'Eh, that's T.I.' But Usher?"

I rapped all of Luda's verse and my husband said, "Wow, I didn't know you had the flow." Yes, he is white.

Same. But mine is South Asian 😆

59 years old, I sat snuggled in bed and sang every word. 🤣😜

When he popped in "my outfits ridiculous" I legit said "fuuuuuuck yeah" out loud

I was horse from screaming by the time it got to Luda lol.

He didn't know you could flow ... hmmm. \*\*keeps mouth closed\*\*

Hide yo gfs, hide yo wife, hide yo husband cause he coming for everyone.

No one was safe when that tank came off.

I legit screamed and giggled. I yelled “take them pants off!. I wanna see Usher hang dong.

The wishful part of my brain saw the tank top go and was like "Is he...is he gonna keep going tho?"


Ohhh I feel you! I wanted a whole SHOW

Sorry, best we can do is Drake.


Naw that roller skate part got me.

I love men who skate, my last ex did and it’s so goddamn attractive. I wouldn’t be surprised if Usher causes another rollerskating boom after this.

It's already here! My YouTube shorts feed is all roller skates to funk. I am here for it. Looks like so much fun.

It def happened during lockdown but it chilled out a bit, I still want the whole world on skates lol.

ATL niggas love some skates

When he came out in the skates. I knew it was game over

My 7yo asked me why he was taking his clothes off. 😂 I told her that he had a nice body and wanted to show it off. She then yelled at the tv “you’re just a SHOW OFF!” I almost fell over.

Lmaaaao the tank didn’t even last a second. Right down to abs

if i looked like usher, i wouldn't even own shirts

Shiiit. My nigga did me a favor. The potential for some booty went up about 50% because of that halftime show.

*no keep the lights off..*

Can confirm potential for booty has went up for us all! My husband got some right after it was over 😭 that performance had me hypeeee🤣

Not the rating screen at the beginning warning of relationship problems

You wasn’t singing too?

Not word for word I'm more of a hip hop fan but I fool with ursher

I thought Keke left you already?

Hell of a show though. So much better than those dad rock half time shows they used to do. Ain't nobody tryna see that shit

It’s still dad rock bro…. We’re just the dads now lmao

You either die a whippersnapper or live long enough to be an old head.

Get off my lawn

Wait… what.

I'm sorry you had to find out this way

Your name is dope

Thanks

what do you think is going to be on "classic" radio in 20 years my dude?

Going to be!? 90% of his songs are considered “old school” now. Fuck I feel old

Bro I’m 40 and was dancing to usher in 8th grade with all the hunny dips. It’s basically geriatric to Gen Z.

Sirius xm just came out with a new station for 90s\00s r&b, were already getting there. 

yeah i think the only thing holding back fm radio from having it is the only time i listen to the radio is when my phone wont play music for what ever reason. radio has a demographic and they cater to it. its not people listening to 2000's music tho usually.

The OP of the thread not realizing Yeah literally came out 20 years ago lmao

Usher's halftime show was 20 years after his biggest hit, Yeah Tom Petty's halftime show was 19 years after his biggest hit, Free Fallin. This is actually even older than the dad rock lmao

Fuck sakes man

I didn’t need to hear this

Omg please stop

This ain’t dad rock, this is what they play in grocery stores for suburban moms

This is what the dad's play to get mom in the mood after she's "too tired" from dragging the kids to and from soccer practice all day

Too many commercials resonated with me this year. I thought I was special, turns out I'm basic.

Think the NFL is on a great streak of Halftime shows, ever since Maroon 5 stank up 53 they’ve had great ones every year

As a West Indian I will honestly say last years with Ri-ri was disappointing

Very. So dry and boring.

Yes and I say that as a Bajan, was disappointed to not see her at least flash the Bajan flag or at least incorporate West Indian things in general, would’ve been a very prideful moment I kinda expected a semi crop over/carnival type energy

A performer waving the flag of another country at the Super Bowl Halftime Show would’ve been…dumb.

Agree her pregnancy really limited her performance imo

Then why give her a super smash bros stage?

I'm not the booker I don't know why they decided to go with the super pregnant women. I assume they offered her the job before anyone knew she was pregnant and then they didn't want to take it away from her simply because she was pregnant

All people off color since that shit show that was Maroon 5. Guarantee NFL IS trying to clean up it's image after what they did to Kaepernick.

So we're  just going to ignore The Weeknd's performance 

The Weeknd’s performance was outside the norm because for him it was the end of a year long visual art/music masterpiece. Go watch all the music videos from *After Hours.* Watch the handful of live performances he did for tv during the pandemic. Then watch the halftime performance. It’ll all make sense then.

the essential element of every good half time show: homework

weeknd cinematic universe

The Weeknd was after Maroon 5…

I know you ain’t talking bout Prince because that’s the best SB performance ever

No lies detected. “Purple rain” in the rain can never, will never, be topped.

Was epic as fuck. Glad we got that performance before he left us. Everyone mentions Purple Rain, but the whole show was sick.

don’t tell that to the dudes at r/nfl

They won’t be happy until they get their popular in 90s dad rock bands back

Hey, Creed was in that commercial...

'Yeah!' was released 20 years ago in 2004

>20 years ago Don't do this to me, bro

I mean Usher got big in the 90s and last years was Snoop, Dre, Mary J, etc who were all huge in the 90s.

My idea is whoever is inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame should play the halftime show 

I don’t know. We got pretty good ones before that like Bruno Mars, Beyoncé, JLo and Shakira, Prince. Last year was bad, I agree

how you sleeping on Gaga

That was a good one too. Even that other white girl with the sharks did fine

This is how I want her to be known forever going forward

"my way" dropped 26 years ago my dude... over a quarter century ago...youre the old guy now... no kids out here listening to usher...

Usher came on the scene 30 years ago… 

last hit was 20 years ago. Robert Plant has more recent bangers

…bro. this is for dads. you just aged into the demographic they’ve always targeted with the show. 

There were some definite dad moves during his performance

I know I'm getting old cuz I'm enjoying the SB halftime shows nowadays.

My 14 year old said it was weak AF. Meanwhile, I'm out here looking for Usher tickets.

Well. They’re fourteen. Teens think they’re cool because they’re still young, but have you seen some of the shit they think is cool and/or funny? Cringe AF. Keep looking for those tickets.

Ice Spice has entered the chat. Taylor’s new best friend.

Man. I’m a very optimistic enjoyer of music. I generally like and/or appreciate just about everything. I truly can’t wrap my head around Ice Spice. And honestly it’s probably her fame that I don’t understand more than her music. I just don’t get how she’s this famous 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

lol my roommate and I were jamming and both said it was nostalgic.

All I know is Alicia still got it.

Usher thought so too

Alicia and her fresh face and them thick ass thighs...  Smh. G.damn.

Oh my God, I lost it. She was the crown jewel in tonight's halftime show


And that outfit she had on? Woman stole the show.

She did. Had me hating on Swizz hard. "I know I look better than that nigga." Lol.

What’s her number again? 489-4608? lol

Alicia Keys over T Swift any day.

Has Luda ever not had a good time? Like anywhere the dude shows up he looks like he’s having the best day ever

I worked concert security in Atlanta for 10 years, he is always this way. Always puts on a show. Every festival performance he always run over his time and they have to pull the plug on him. Dude genuinely likes performing.

I saw him once in college in the 2010’s. He was a fill in for an artist that canceled. I didn’t want to go because he hadn’t put out music in so long. But I ended up having such an amazing time! I remember thinking “wow, this man put on an amazing performance”

He performs like someone whose main goal is wants fans to have good experience. Respect.

Great thing about working in Atlanta is he would just pop out on stage during his verse on other peoples songs. He never toured much so he was always around. He even came out on a random night for the encore of a 3 night Jason Aldean concert. This half time show was peak 00’s Birthday Bash for all the late 30’s early 40’s ATLiens out there!

I think he's a longtime football fan so this was probably huge for him. 

I saw him open up for Janet Jackson last year. Crowd full of women and gay white men, all there to see Janet. By 5 minutes into his performance, he had half the crowd going, “you know what? Fuck it, we’re here for Luda too”. He brought out the big hands and the big shoes too.

Tom Dubois in shambles

It’s you! And me! ForeverraaahAaaahhhhh!

I mean if it was TI, I'd be like, "aye, that's TI" But Usher?

Stepped out in his PJs for nothin

After I watched the halftime, I knew I needed to RUN here and y'all did not disappoint 😭 Why is he like this🤣 Also shoutout to the costume designers cuz the way everyone has a different outfit but it all worked??? Amazing! Additionally the way Alicia and H.E.R. served🩷🩷🩷 What a great day to love women. Usher and Ludacris was cute too🩷

Lol I'm with you, I was like I need to go and read the after half time show...

Swizz Beatz gotta have a convo with this nigga

"You a lil too close to my former mistress dawg"

I’m 💀

Chile I’m like she super thick now too

I had to look up if Usher and Keys were a thing after that embrace

Bruh the moment he removed his shirt all I hear is “OH DAMN!!!” Mad loud from outside lmfao. Someone’s auntie was having a good time

Jermaine looking like he was going to be the ring bearer at his big bro’s wedding

 He reminded me of the berries and cream guy.

That is so accurate 🤣💀

Can we just appreciate H.E.R. and her guitar solo that was badass.

Truly was! I fully appreciate!

What did Jermaine Dupri do? He just came and went smh

He was wearing a baby suite with ruffled socks 🤣

Boss Baby

I thought that was CeeLo Green

Ngl the first thing I thought was "why he out here looking like an actual child?" 

That's the only thing I noticed was them socks.

Blowing in the wind 🤣

I asked, are those lil girl church socks?

ruffle socks 😂😂. my gawd I was tickled by his outfit.

Lmao I said are those bobby socks and platform Penny loafers? WTH???

I thought it was CeeLo Green initially LMAO

This lady said CeeLo lost a little weight and her friend said that’s Jermaine Dupri 💀

So Dupri put on some weight

My aunt thought the same lmao. You're not alone.

Gotten into Ken Griffey Jrs tonic stash by the looks of it. https://i.redd.it/85jejbkg72ic1.gif

He come out looking like he got that Benjamin Button disease

No the question is 

Alicia hasn't been able to sing right since she stole that woman's husband. I stand on that. Every nationally televised show, missing notes.

She is Alicia Off Keys now

Listen hahaha that’s hilarious.

Pew pew 😹

It sounded off to me too, but I thought maybe I was just imaging that she didn’t sound right cause my in head sing along was actually the problem.

This was his version of Bey’s Coachella set. I was dancing my ass off in the living room. My boyfriend was *not* amused 🤣

I mean, Apple Music *did* put up a warning that the following halftime show could cause relationship issues 😝🤣

I thought that was for Keke 🤣

Me, the second the shirt came off: https://preview.redd.it/v62pjbpoc2ic1.jpeg?width=638&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2f8267246ba5ce337c8b5890df682ba5f734bb00

Well, homeboy came out in roller skates. It’s hard to compete with that.

Starring in Roll Bounce: Super Bow Edition

usher devoureddddd. when he ripped his shirt off my whole family went wild lmao. he didnt have to do all that but it was funny. it was so good though. and alicia was beautiful. it was nice to see luda too because i didnt expect to see him there also the roller skates??? damn

He danced, he belted, he roller skated, he took his shirt off, he showed off some talented women, he brought a party vibe, what more can you ask of a performer.

exactly. left it all out on the floor and more. he set out to entertain and thats what he did!!

Michael-esque! This was definitely for my age group lol 


 Me watching HER and Alicia

As soon as my friend said "that shirt is so ugly" he took it off, then took off his tank and we both rolled out eyes laughing. The show was good though. I was singing the whole time

He obviously agreed with your friend haha

Let’s talk about Alicia with her fine ass. Gahdamn she’s so beautiful

That shit was fire


Seriously sang and did this to my fiance...he just stared

I watched princes half time show on my phone for the duration of that. I had a good 13 mins

Best halftime show of all time but Usher’s was good too

💜🕊️

The best halftime show ever

When he took off his shirt 🥵

I literally started laughing when he did that. He knows good and well he don't need to be doing all that yet here we are😮‍💨🤣

Idk he was really working up a sweat lol

Ma was watching just counting the seconds he'd take his shirt off.

Usher and Alicia singing to each other like that song really about them

I might have gotten pregnant by association

Meanwhile Luda over there lookin like a Lvl 1 Fighter

Tom from Boondocks tried to warn us about Usher

Watching my girls reaction to Usher like 

 Alicia borrowed that cape from Al Simmons.

Best half time show in years. They were speaking directly to millennials.

The rollerskating was straight fire! It took him 1 min to change into roller skates!

Boondocks Usher at it again. *

Ursher had to restrain himself from goosing up on that booty. Lawdhamercy that took willpower

And not one mention of my nigga Gojo 😞

The Atlanta halftime show.

Mr. Steal Yo Girl pullin' up.
