How Usher’s Super Bowl halftime show was inspired by Michael Jackson
Having already performed on the Super Bowl stage as a special guest of the Black Eyed Peas in 2011, Usher is no stranger to the halftime show. But it is another former headliner whom the 45-year-old singer has taken particular inspiration from going into Super Bowl LVIII at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas on Sunday night.That would be his longtime hero, Michael Jackson, who forever changed the halftime show — turning it into the biggest gig in music — when he put the “superstar” in the Super Bowl.“He absolutely revolutionized the experience like no other,” Usher told The Post.“He changed how people perceived the halftime show [because before Jackson] it was just kind of hiring, you know, local performers or whatever it might be … I really did respect that.”And Usher plans to honor Jackson’s historic moment when he follows in his legendary footsteps midway through Sunday’s showdown between the Kansas City Chiefs and the San Francisco 49ers.“It became a great inspiration behind some of the things that I chose to do with this show,” he said.Of course, Usher — who made his self-titled debut 30 years ago as a 15-year-old — has three decades of his own experience to draw from as well.But the man behind such chart-topping hits as “Nice & Slow,” “U Remind Me,” “Yeah!” and “Love in This Club” says that it won’t be all about him when he headlines the biggest stage of all.“This has been a moment that is a celebration — not just for myself but for 30 years of people who have supported me, supported my journey, supported my choice of conversation,” said Usher.

How Kim Kardashian helped Usher bring his ‘sexy’ to the Super Bowl 2024 center stage
Super Bowl LVIII headliner on Sunday — when the Kansas City Chiefs tackle the San Francisco 49ers — it just might be a pretty unlikely one: Kim Kardashian.Usher’s “My Way” residency at the Dolby Live inside the Park MGM — which wrapped in December after 17 months and 100 shows — made him the biggest stud in Sin City.His sold-out run turned the 45-year-old superstar into a natural choice to lead the mid-game throwdown at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas.But before Taylor Swift had even met Travis Kelce, Kardashian proved just how powerful of a woman she is after Usher serenaded the mogul for all of social media to see in April 2023.Usher’s sexy residency went on to become the ultimate girls’ trip destination.And Jay-Z and his Roc Nation company — producers of the halftime show since 2019 — couldn’t deny the obvious after Usher was practically serenading the panties off everybody from Keke Palmer to Janelle Monáe.But Kim K. is a big reason why we’ll all be going “Yeah!” on Sunday.“I think everybody was in some way trying to figure out how to get out there and have that experience that we were working on in Las Vegas because of the serenade,” Usher told The Post.“It seemed like the place to go to celebrate with your friends, take your girls, have a good time.
