does anyone really want to see Usher? Or his bare chest. Is he str8 or gay? Any (real) evidence of being a gay ally or just go business model now days.
The best part of Usher’s half-time show was when he came out on roller skates. He should have gone that route the entire performance. He did run through his many hits, though.
If we could go back in time…Usher is who Janet should have brought out during that Super Bowl…he can actually dance & keep up with Miss Jackson. Unlike Justin, two left feet, Timberlake.

does anyone really want to see Usher? Or his bare chest. Is he str8 or gay? Any (real) evidence of being a gay ally or just go business model now days.

He’s not one of us. Just a straight rapper prick with an inflated ego
xanadude
He rarely has a shirt on. This was nothing new.

Thought Usher’s halftime show was a mess. Songs sounded the same and production looked like it was thrown together in a day

MISTERJETT
i never really found Usher all that attractive. a lot of people do, though.
Kangol2
He’s cute but he is hot in those Skims ads! He moves like and gives off the sense that he would be a very good, attentive lover.
