The Superbowl Halftime Show is one of the biggest stages any musical artist can take on. So when the biggest stars in all of music perform they try and bring out all the stops. In recent years Rihanna brought impressive scale to the event with suspended platforms. The year before Dr. Dre delivered an intricate house set and surprise appearance from 50 Cent. Whatever Usher is planning for the big day is tightly under wraps, but expectations are mounting.
Part of those expectations are set up by Usher himself. In a recent interview with Vogue, he spoke on how extensively he’s been working on the performance. “It has to be perfect. I’ve been doing this for 30 years. I want people who have been a part of that journey to feel like it’s a celebration for everybody, for all of us, from the beginning up until this point,” he said in the interview. Though the performances are often massive in scale they’re on a relatively short time scale. That means compacting his entire career of hits into a single performance is tricky. Elsewhere in the article he discussed his efforts to bring the spirit of R&B to the stage while performing for every single one of the millions of women who will be watching.
