The Super Bowl LVIII halftime show was something that a lot of people were talking about. Of course, you have the people who just tune in to watch Usher himself, but you also have those who watch the game. I am here to talk more about the fact that the halftime show itself has its downfalls, as we all know. While Usher’s performance may have been a highlight for many viewers, the overall production of the halftime show can sometimes fall short in terms of entertainment value and execution. It’s important to consider the diverse perspectives and opinions of all viewers when evaluating the success of such a high-profile event. I really couldn’t hear a lot of just Usher when it came to sound, and overall, the sound of the halftime show was not great compared to a couple of years in the past.

Usher did not mess around when it came to his guests for his halftime show, just to name some like H.E.R. and Alicia Keys, Will.i.am, Ludacris, and Lil Jon. This wasn’t the first time H.E.R. sang at a 49ers game as a singer; this was her second time singing at one of their games, and the first time she was just a young adult around the age of ten. Overall, the halftime show had a star-studded lineup that brought energy and excitement to the performance. Despite some sound issues, the collaboration between Usher and his guests made for a memorable show that will be remembered for years to come. The dancers also showed up, like last year, to make sure people remembered the Superbowl.

For all the cool folks who remember how to roller skate, this was not your sign to get them off the shovels and relearn how to do them again in this economy. The emergency room is not in your forecast. The addition of roller skaters added a unique and entertaining element to the halftime show, showcasing impressive skills and choreography. Overall, the performance was a dynamic display of talent and creativity that left a lasting impression on viewers. The songs didn’t miss either, as they brought back my two-year-old self from 2004 when “My Boo” came out, but did I miss a beat? Overall, I did enjoy the Superbowl Apple Music Halftime show, and for those asking about it, Ludacris also goes back to 2 Fast 2 Furious Times, not Scooby-Doo.
