Thousands of football fans attend the Super Bowl every year as they cheer on their favorite team in hopes for their team to win the championship but what about the fans who stay home?
Not thousands but millions of fans back home gather around their tv, tablet, iPad, or iPhone screens to watch the Super Bowl including the most watched performance which is the Super Bowl HalfTime Show.
This year’s Super Bowl HalfTime performance was led by American singer-songwriter and dancer Usher.
Usher is a worldwide known artist who has sold 80 million records worldwide “making him one of the best-selling music artists of all time.”
In the late 90s and early 2000’s Usher was one of the most popular artists and became the most popular artist in 2004 when he released his album titled “Confessions.”
“When I found out Usher was going to be the one performing, I was excited, he’s doing it for the culture,” said Jennifer Tejada, NECC student.
Usher lit up the stage Sunday night as he performed his greatest hits “Caught Up” “U Don’t Have to Call”, “Superstar”, “Love in this Club,” and so much more.
Usher also had a show-stopping lineup of artists that took on the stage with him throughout his performance.
Artists like Alicia Keys, H.E.R, Ludacris and more took to the stage to assist Usher.
“I love that he brought out Alicia Keys and all the other appearances because his old music was just a vibe,” said Diana Martinez, a NECC student.
Usher’s halftime performance was a success as it made impressive numbers with 30.1 million viewers exceeding last year’s halftime show that was led by Rihanna.
This year’s halftime show drew in 5% more viewers than last year.”
“Imma be honest the performance was kind of mid, like it was cool for the culture, but I expected way more,” said Elijah Thibodeaux NECC Student.
If you missed it or want to relive the moment of what fans on the internet are saying is the “Legend’s Concert” the Super Bowl HalfTime show can be watched or rewatched on platforms like YouTube, Apple music and other streaming services.
