    Not surprised they picked Usher. He's one of the few remaining artists that checks the important boxes. He's got the hits and is one of the greatest live performers of our time. Those factors are essential for a great Half-time performance. Now it's all about the execution. Looking forward to seeing what he does.

    Saying Usher is not as relevant right now as an artist but has the hits is laughable when comparing him to all the other celebs who performed.
    SB 2023: Rihanna/last album 2016
    SB 2022: Eminem, Dr. Dre. Snoop Dogg, Kendrick Lamar and Mary J. Blige/ Dr. Dre and Snoop released after the SuperBowl, and while Mary J.'s last album was in 2022, she released it 2 days before the Super Bowl which was a strategic move; however, her last album before that was 2017, and her best album will always be Share My World in 1997. Kendrick's last album was 2017 as well because he released he new one 3 months after the Super Bowl; however, he was the most musically relevant out the 4.
    SB 2021: The Weekend...while he has been more consistent with releases, wasn't he asked after someone else turned it down? So, he was picked second.
    SB 2020: Shakira, Jennifer Lopez, Bad Bunny, J Balvin, Emme Muniz/ Shakira's last album 2017, JLo's did have a soundtrack album but her last personal album was in 2014, I barely know who Bad Bunny is but he has albums (I also just realized he was a he, thought it was a girl.), and Emme Muniz, J Lo's daughter.
    I'm just saying there are quite a few who have performed at the Super Bowl and they were not musically relevant at the time either, so Usher is in great company!

    Jay is so FAKE. They only reason Usher was asked is bc of the hype around his tiny desk performance, his concerts and the celebrities showing up. This should’ve been done YEARS ago. That’s how I know he only did this for the recent clout. He’s fake.

    • @GraemeONeil
      @GraemeONeil  Před 11 měsíci +18

      so, in other words, Jay chose him because there was a lot of people talking about Usher recently, and because of how impressive Usher is as live performer, and that his Super Bowl performance would likely create a lot of excitement and social media engagement? Yeah, those are some "fake" reasons.
