If you’re wondering about the empty drum set, it’s Aaron Spear’s drums, he was Usher’s drummer who very recently passed away. 🕊️

Usher did this without no auto tune and special effects!! Top 10 artist of all time 🎉

[JosiahThaver]

Who else keeps coming back to this awesome performance? 🔥

[maxlarock]

“How much nostalgia do you want?”
Usher: Yes.

[ChrisVDL]

Anybody else notice the extra drum-set on the stage with nobody playing it?

That kit belongs to Mr. Aaron Spears. He was the drummer for Usher and Alicia Keys, (and a few others). He died a few months ago at the age of 47, and his drum set on stage in memorial is a great tribute to the legend in the drumming community.

Usher is such a showman!!! His stage presence is UNMATCHED! The quick tribute pieces to Teddy P, Marvin Gaye, and The Jackson 5 was incredible. He's been singing since 13 and hes 45 . The breath control, on skates!!! is in fact...A LEGEND.👑

I have never seen Usher lip syncing. He deserves our respect.

[ms.rutledge]

I loved that he says momma we made it because she was his original manager. This was a great halftime show.

[bravosix]

Dude sang since he's 16 and he's 45 now. What a legend.

[phh.]

I respect artists who respect their audience by singing live.

[Thebrave]

Justice is served
This is a well deserved tribute to usher career

[nddvhri]

This guy is running, jumping dancing, and and friggin skating still belting notes. I need a break between trips up and down the stairs with groceries.

People saying “these are Michael moves not Ushers” who the hell do you think taught Usher to dance? Usher used to look up to him growing up and would study his moves and in 2001, they had a dance off sharing the stage. And a few years prior to Mj’s death they did a few events together and he learned a lot from him. So obviously he had inspired dance moves from Michael.

As a Nigerian viewer, I'm truly impressed by the organization, dance routines, choreography, lights, music arrangement, timing and overall spectacle of the performance. It's evident that America truly excels in show business, and my fellow Black brothers in the USA showcase remarkable talent.
The ability to condense such a detailed and rich performance into just 13 minutes is truly amazing.
I see pure excellence.

[davidlessa]

The halftime was lit. I was on my cruise in the middle of the carribean watching this...the boat was going off ...never forget it

[angelabasse]

This wasn't for the kids, this was for they parents!!!! So many hits ya'll!

[southernmermaid]

“Hey Mama we made it” that shout out to her melted my heart! 💙🛼🛼

[damarismaloba]

Usher is personal with his messages that "you ain't going to call, but if you do know that God answers prayers" he is truly talented, yet humble and relatable.

Beautiful performance

This generation has missed out on living in some of the best times in hip hop & r&b history. ❤ This is nostalgic.

People don't realize the homage and respect Usher brought to the old school half-time shows and the venue. Marching bands were a staple of half-time shows and was long forgotten and brought it back and showed the dazzle and glamor of acrobatic performances Vegas is famous for. All blended together with his old school music and bringing the original performers for his hits rather than doing it solo.
