00:00 Usher has been keeping quiet on his big Super Bowl performance, but the star gave everyone
00:04 a bit of an update on what to expect on his big halftime moment.
00:07 And here's what you need to know.
00:12 Ahead of Super Bowl 2024, Usher says that he will recreate a viral skating sequence
00:16 that was a highlight of his Vegas residency.
00:18 Sitting down ahead of the big game, the star said the show would be a "crescendo,"
00:22 making a "new beginning" in his 30-year career.
00:26 His Super Bowl performances include Katy Perry, Prince, Beyonce, Britney, U2, and so many
00:30 more.
00:31 Yet, Usher will be the first independent artist to ever take the stage as he just left his
00:35 previous record label, RCA.
00:37 The star is set to release his latest album as well, coming home this weekend.
00:40 Speaking with Apple Music's very own Nadeska Alexis, the "Yeah" singer avoided several
00:44 questions about what people can expect for the show, but did address the big change.
00:48 "This is just really a testament of dedication.
00:53 I don't have this moment by myself.
00:56 All of my fans that I bring with me, each and every person that had anything to do with
00:59 the music, the creativity, everybody is a part of this celebratory moment.
01:05 But what I feel is that this is only the beginning because I launched that album as an independent
01:11 artist and I will be, up until this date, the only independent artist who's ever performed
01:17 the Super Bowl halftime show."
01:19 When asked about those who would be performing with him on stage, the singer noted that those
01:22 who were "on songs" that became hit records would be potentially present.
01:26 Now fans did take note of some potential Easter eggs and superstar guests in the latest Apple
01:30 Music video titled "Where's Usher?" which promotes the big halftime show at the
01:34 Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas.
01:36 "Hey, um, our friend Usher, he's missing."
01:40 "Your friend has been making waves in the city.
01:43 Flashy performances, sold out shows."
01:45 "That's him."
01:46 "I would say that there are some very powerful people that wish he would disappear."
01:52 Fans saw a superstar cast of Ludacris, Lil Jon, Taraji P. Henson, Wesley Snipes, J Balvin,
01:58 Anderson .Paak, Blue Man Group, and even Chris Angel trying to find the singer ahead of his
02:02 big performance.
02:03 And even a cameo from Tim Cook of Apple himself stars in the video.
02:06 "How was dinner last night?"
02:07 "Something happened last night, Tim."
02:09 "Luda lost Usher."
02:10 "Tim, I'm sorry, bro."
02:14 Now Usher, of course, follows Rihanna, who performed at the 2023 halftime show while
02:17 pregnant and 2022's all-star dream team of Dr. Dre, Kendrick Lamar, Mary J. Blige, Snoop
02:22 Dogg, Eminem, and 50 Cent.
02:24 Usher has also previously been on the Super Bowl stage in the past as a special guest
02:27 for the Black Eyed Peas in 2011.
02:29 The star was seen taking one large leap over "Will.i.am" and even landing splits.
