Usher Teases Epic Setlist for Super Bowl 2024 Halftime Show
Usher is gearing up for his highly anticipated Super Bowl 2024 halftime show, and fans are in for a treat. The R&B singer recently held a press conference in Las Vegas, where he teased what to expect from his high-energy performance. Usher, who will be the first independent artist to headline a Super Bowl halftime show, plans to deliver a medley of hits that spans his 30-year career.
During the press conference, Usher expressed his excitement about the upcoming show. He mentioned that there have been speculations about his setlist, with fans trying to guess which songs he will perform first, middle, and last. Usher explained that he wanted to be mindful of his past, celebrate his present in Las Vegas, and think about the future. He emphasized that this halftime show is a significant opportunity for him as an independent artist.
While Usher didn’t reveal the exact songs on his setlist, fans are hoping to hear classic hits like “You Make Me Wanna…,” “Confessions, Pt. II,” “My Boo,” “OMG,” “Burn,” “Love in This Club,” “Bad Girl,” and “Yeah!” However, Usher acknowledged the challenge of fitting 30 years of music into a 13-minute performance. He carefully considered which songs best represent his journey and the emotions he wants to convey to the audience.
In addition to his solo performances, Usher hinted at surprise guest appearances during the halftime show. He has collaborated with renowned artists such as Alicia Keys, Justin Bieber, Lil Jon, and Jeezy throughout his career. While he didn’t disclose the identities of the special guests, he mentioned that they deserve recognition for their own accomplishments.
Usher also revealed that fans will get a behind-the-scenes look at his journey leading up to the halftime show. A documentary crew has been following him throughout the process, capturing all the significant moments. Usher expressed his gratitude to Apple, who has been involved in documenting the experience. He assured fans that they would have the opportunity to see everything, from the moment he received the call about being selected to perform to the moment he walks off the halftime stage.
The press conference took place one day before the release of Usher’s ninth studio album, “Coming Home.” The album, which features his new single “Ruin” featuring Pheelz, reflects the last five years of his life. Usher explained that the pandemic caused a significant pause in his music career, but he found motivation to continue and decided to put his shows on sale in Las Vegas. Since then, everything has fallen into place, and he is excited to share his new music with the world.
Usher’s halftime show will pay homage to black artists of the past, as he believes it is essential to give R&B the main stage at the Super Bowl. He wants to acknowledge all the people who have been a part of his journey and assure them that they have not been forgotten.
