September 24, 2023

September 24, 2023
Thanks Usher

September 24, 2023

this is such a random ass pick, what has he done in the past decade.
September 24, 2023
this is an odd choice considering usher hasn’t done anything notable in the past 10 years, would’ve wanted someone a lot more relevant for today’s youth
September 24, 2023
merry christmas xbox
September 24, 2023
This isn't a bad pick
September 24, 2023
hopefully they get other people too or thisll be a snoozefest
September 24, 2023
usher is a great entertainer and he has enough hits to make a good super bowl so I'm not mad at all
September 24, 2023
Looks to be a pretty whelming halftime show.
September 24, 2023
this man had 9 number one hits on the billboard charts, he's a great performer, i think this pick makes sense even if he's not super relevant right now
September 24, 2023
yEaH! OkAy!
September 24, 2023
Random ass pick but okay
September 24, 2023

Despite his huge contribution to music, he is more of a star from the '00s than from the '20s and may not be able to bear this burden.
September 24, 2023
Was not expecting Usher of all people to be the performer but I’m not against it. Just a weird choice for the Super Bowl performance
September 24, 2023
this is why real football >>>
September 24, 2023
go girl give us nothing
September 24, 2023
i dont think its a weird or random ass pick like yall are implying in the comments. he has about 4 decades of hits, stellar stage presence and amazing vocals.
September 24, 2023
He barely has any hits lmao why him omg
September 24, 2023
LLLLLLLLLLL

SHOULD HAVE BEEN NSYNC
September 24, 2023
merry christmas xbox, it's usher
September 24, 2023
should've picked bjork but ok
September 24, 2023
should’ve picked Swans but ok
September 24, 2023
Should have picked KodiyakRedd and Flyysoulja together known as the Island Boys but ok
September 24, 2023
He's not even good
September 24, 2023
nice this’ll probably be decent
September 25, 2023

September 25, 2023

2. flashing lights
3. heartless
4. famous
5. runaway
September 25, 2023
I bet you'll see social media commenters demanding for Metallica, which is a tradition every year.
September 25, 2023
damn it should've been death grips or danny brown
September 25, 2023
Shoulda been Carly Rae Jepsen bro
September 25, 2023
shouldve been tommy york
September 25, 2023
what have y'all been watching all these years, superbowl halftime show never targeted younger audience
September 25, 2023
Creeper
September 25, 2023
I love how in just about every aspect of life, America is still stuck in the 2000s - I can see him giving like a 7/10 show tho
September 25, 2023
BIG W
September 25, 2023
Clearly no longer in the public consciousness but I bet he'll kill it.
September 25, 2023
most of male r&b singers are BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORING seriously
September 25, 2023
i have low expecations for his performance
September 25, 2023
why wasn't it jpegmafia and danny brown 😢 now i'm gonna starve... they really disrespected daddy fantano...
September 25, 2023
so we back in the mine
September 25, 2023
who
September 25, 2023
Should’ve been Carti instead of this nobody
September 25, 2023
will the yeah triangle be making an appearance
September 25, 2023
Of all people to pick, they pick Usher?

I didn't even know bro still existed.
September 25, 2023
Might be alright tbh
September 25, 2023
good
September 25, 2023
I like this
September 25, 2023
happy easter xbox
September 26, 2023
I thought it was going to be RXKNephew...
September 26, 2023
yet another tally to the "years without weezer at the super bowl" chart ☹️
September 26, 2023
give queen emily montes the platform she deserves
September 26, 2023
the world's safest super bowl pick ever
September 26, 2023
should've picked iNihga but it's okay
September 26, 2023
i don' see him relevant from years but ok, i think he should make a good performance
September 26, 2023
at least they didn't pick NSYNC like the rumors were saying, we do not want another JT super bowl right around the 20 year anniversary of the janet jackson incident
September 26, 2023
eh
September 26, 2023
WWWWWWW
September 26, 2023
If the nfl wants to drive attention to themselves they should've just chosen Olivia or Taylor they're the perfect pick for something like this
September 26, 2023
That being said, I think this'll be pretty good tbh might be better than riri's but I can't blame her for being pregnant
September 26, 2023
@Sleepershark Taylor keeps turning them down. They’re after the 35-55 demographic with this pick. I’m 31 and happy with it. Rodrigo would’ve definitely been a good zeitgeisty pick.
September 26, 2023
They should have chosen DJ Khaled seriously
He has:
Hits ☑️
Stage presence ☑️
Drakes phone number ☑️
Da Best Music ☑️
Golf skills ☑️
He’s sexy AF ☑️
He will bring out the whole ocean ☑️
September 26, 2023
Im gen z and I’m pretty disappointed because this is not the 2000s anymore. Olivia Rodrigo would have been a much better pick
September 26, 2023
I would like Taylor too but she is doing the Eras Tour and really doesn’t need more stress
September 26, 2023
"Only 2 hits" "He barely has any hits" Some of you need to do a quick Google search before showing your ignorance. And I doubt gen z is all the NFL think about. The average audience are an older demographic.
September 26, 2023
I mean Usher can sing but what has he even been doing lately? My prediction is it's just gonna be "a super bowl performance," one that isn't bad or good. Just a super bowl show.
September 27, 2023
the real question is if hes gonna bring out lil jon
September 27, 2023
the people in this comments are kinda oblivious and ignorant, he has decades of recognizable hits so it isnt extremely different from getting em snoop and all at the 22 one,, just because he isnt from this generation or extremely active rn doesnt mean he is a bad pick
September 27, 2023
but usher..
September 28, 2023
What has he been doing lately? He has a residency in Vegas, I get it everyone on here is 15 but even then he had those tiktok moments "Watch This" with his NPR and Residency shows. Usher is by far the smartest choice, there aren't any other performers around? You know who can actually put on a choreographed show, not with a backing track playing and standing stiffly at the mic.
