Arkansas Bengal Posted September 24, 2023 Report Share Posted September 24, 2023 Usher set to headline Super Bowl LVIII halftime show Decision announced via Apple Music Sunday morning By Pilar Arias Fox News Published September 24, 2023 10:15am EDT Usher has been confirmed as the headliner for the Super Bowl LVIII in Las Vegas, Nevada. The decision was announced by Apple Music Sunday morning via the social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter. "It’s an honor of a lifetime to finally check a Super Bowl performance off my bucket list. I can’t wait to bring the world a show unlike anything else they’ve seen from me before," Usher said, according to Variety. "Thank you to the fans and everyone who made this opportunity happen. I’ll see you real soon." In terms of guests, Usher said during an Apple Music halftime headliner special that there are many more Sundays to discuss who might join him during the performance. Usher follows last year's performance from Rihanna, who publicly showcased her second pregnancy during the Super Bowl LVII halftime show in Arizona. Nearly 119 million viewers tuned in, and the Federal Communications Commission received over 100 complaints after the big game, with many claiming the show was "overtly sexual" in nature, TMZ reported. Usher smiles for the camera as he attends Super Bowl LVI. (Kevin Mazur/Getty Images for Roc Nation) "We are thrilled to bring Super Bowl LVIII to Las Vegas," National Football League Executive Vice President, Club Business, Major Events, and International Peter O'Reilly said in a press release. "This city is a capital of sports and entertainment, always providing an incredible high-energy atmosphere for our events. We look forward to continuing the work with our local partners to provide an extraordinary experience for the Las Vegas community and show fans around the world what this city has to offer." Taylor Swift reportedly turned down the chance to perform at Super Bowl LVIII due to being too busy with her Eras world tour, according to the Daily Mail. She has not publicly offered comment on the decision. The game takes place on Feb. 11, 2024, at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, Nevada. https://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/usher-set-headline-super-bowl-lviii-halftime-show Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AmishBengalFan Posted September 24, 2023 Report Share Posted September 24, 2023 The only halftime shows that didn't suck since Up With People were the ones with Big Bad Voodoo Daddy and Prince. Seriously. Why do people give a shit? I watch Puppy Bowl during the hour-long break. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmishBengalFan Posted September 25, 2023 Report Share Posted September 25, 2023 Oh.... can the thread be renamed please? This isnt about the Super Bowl, the title should probably be appended to say "Halftime Show" to avoid confusion. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True. It could have been any number of modern country musicians singing about their dog, Ford pickup truck or former girlfriend’s sister back in their small town. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saphead Posted September 27, 2023 Report Share Posted September 27, 2023 I'll be listening to Lap & Dan Hoard break down the first half, going over Bengals stats and what we need to improve for the 3rd & 4rd quarters to close this out. So I won't see much of the halftime show. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will never see that again because Jay Z is in charge. Can’t allow that anymore. Might upset some people. You will get your pole dancers again but from him. Just what children like to see in these whacky days. Didn’t another person try that and it didn’t go off well? But hey, to each his and her own. I don’t watch it anyways. It is about the game not about the halftime or is it? Don’t forget to sing the new National Anthem too. Enjoy! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
|High School Harry| Posted September 30, 2023 Report Share Posted September 30, 2023 Quite honestly, I have never watched a half time show. Actually, I don't even watch the Super Bowl all the way through. My season ends at the gun of the last Bengals game. Closest I came to watching a half time show was one time Comedy Network had a special episode of Bevis and Butthead they plugged into that time slot called "The Butt Bowl". I that. Uhhhh... huh huh huh. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
