Usher put on quite a show at the Super Bowl LVIII halftime gig in Allegiant Stadium, Las Vegas. It was dynamic and sneaky, catching everyone's attention. But amid all the energy, there was a surprising moment of calm.
Alicia Keys joined him, wearing a shiny red outfit, but she goofed up the start of her song "If I Ain’t Got You." It was a bit awkward, but she recovered. As she sang, Usher chimed in quietly, adding harmony. The camera zoomed out, showing them at opposite ends of the piano. Usher smoothly sang the final line of the chorus almost in a whisper, while Keys ended the note.
Even though Allegiant Stadium can fit 65,000 fans, in that moment, it felt like only two people were there. It was one of the quietest moments in halftime history, showing Usher's talent for capturing attention.
The rest of the show was big and flashy, covering more than a dozen songs, filling up the whole football field. It started small and grew into a wild party. But what stood out was Usher's attention to detail and his ability to command attention, whether the stage was packed or he was performing solo.
Usher's setlist included some of his essential songs like "You Make Me Wanna..." (1997), "Yeah!" (2004) featuring Lil Jon and Ludacris, "Confessions Part II" (2004), "Love in This Club" (2008) featuring Young Jeezy, and "Climax" (2012).
Overall, Usher proved why he's a superstar, blending precision with grandeur, and owning the stage like no other.
