Super Bowl: Usher lights up the half-time show to celebrate 30 years in the business

On the night of Sunday February 11 to Monday February 12, 2024, some of you probably stayed up to watch the Super Bowl live. This year, the most watched sporting event across the Atlantic pitted the Kansas City Chiefs against the San Francisco 49ers.

For the occasion, several channels enabled oval ball fans to follow the Super Bowl from France. While the Kansas City Chiefs emerged victorious from this sporting encounter against the San Francisco 49ers (25-22), the Big Game was also marked by an incredible musical moment, namely Usher's live performance. After Madonna, Lady Gaga, Justin Timberlake, The Weeknd, Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Eminem, Mary J. Blige and Kendrick Lamar and Rihanna last year, Usher had the tough task of putting on a show during the traditional half-time show.

The global R&B star, chosen by the NFL to host the show, spared no expense for the occasion! During a set lasting around 13 minutes, the artist from Dallas, Texas, played a succession of hits, 12 in all, including " U Don't Have To Call ", " Love In This Club ", " Burn " and not forgetting " Caught Up ".
