Speaker 1: Well. Usher says he will entertain what will surely be
Speaker 1: the biggest audience of his career on February eleventh, as
Speaker 1: millions of viewers watched Super Bowl fifty eight halftime show,
Speaker 1: and Usher says he's using the opportunity to pay homage
Speaker 1: to the black artists that have come before him. During
Speaker 1: a recent interview and Good Morning America, Usher said, quote
Speaker 1: to have R and B have the main stage at
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl, it's a major thing for me, He says,
Speaker 1: I think about what our country has kind of represented
Speaker 1: for black artists, you know, having to at some point
Speaker 1: go through kitchens to even be able to perform for
Speaker 1: an audience, but they had to leave back through the
Speaker 1: same door and fear for their lives as they went
Speaker 1: to the next state to do the same thing. Usher says,
Speaker 1: So I'm coming through the front door with this one.
Speaker 1: I think about all of the R and B performers
Speaker 1: who I carry in this moment.
Speaker 2: Wow.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a lot of pressure though.
Speaker 3: Yes. The first time I really understood how good Usher
Speaker 3: was at was one year at the Essence Festival.
Speaker 2: He did a tribute to Luther.
Speaker 3: Vandros and I was sitting back there going how this
Speaker 3: dude gonna sit up here and do some damn Luther songs.
Speaker 2: You know, he did it his own way. He didn't
Speaker 2: try to sound like Luther.
Speaker 3: And he killed it, man, he actually killed it and
Speaker 3: did a Marvin Gaye song and a Luther. So if
Speaker 3: he take that approach that I saw at the essence
Speaker 3: that year, I take that boy right there.
Speaker 2: Boy, but he's something special.
Speaker 3: Man. It's good to see R and B because you
Speaker 3: haven't seen R and B at the super Bowl.
Speaker 2: You haven't. You've seen pop rock, you've seen.
Speaker 3: Hip hop, you see all the rock, but I've never
Speaker 3: seen R and B. I tell you what I saw days.
