KaZooo 02/07/24 8:58:59 AM #8:	He seems to still be a decent performer, generally stating in shape for it. Recent "Ruin" was pretty cool but the industry seemingly also moved on from him regardless. Nonetheless his most prominent tracks is more than enough to fill the run time of a halftime show. I think it can turn out pretty good. Wild if he can get Lil John and Luda up there, and it would've been an easy viewership grab if he could get Jungkook on too. --- Competing every night, both ends, shoot inside/outside, fast break, transition, Monta Ellis have it all <cite>KaZooo posted [p:978704645] in Is Usher a...

action52 02/07/24 8:59:17 AM #9:	Usher is a great artist with lots of bangers, but there's no denying he's below the level of fame of the usual superbowl halftime act. I think a lot of people were expecting Taylor Swift, too. So it's not surprising that people are disappointed. I'm sure he'll put on a good show though.

bigblu89 02/07/24 9:37:17 AM #15:	The target demo of a football game is 20-50 year olds, so Usher hit his peak popularity when the target demo was in their 20s and early 30's. That song Yeah! came out in 2004. That was 20 years ago. And Usher had hit singles that came out years before that like Burn, You Make Me Wanna..., My Boo, etc. His first Album came out in 1997. He's legit a nostalgia act now. It's like when The Who or Springsteen did the Halftime Show 15+ years ago. --- It takes zero effort to be a good person. <cite>bigblu89 posted [p:978705089] in Is Usher a...
