Blind Update!- Alicia Keys, Ludacris, Will.i.am and Lil Jon will perform with Usher tonight

I don’t Justin will show. Today is Sunday.

So Reba is the only white person performing all day? Anyone contact the DEI officer?

#SBsoblack

R2 Come on. Trolling to that degree must be stressful.

Oh, more reasons to not watch.

American society has fallen so hard. This is considered culture?

I would have thought it was obvious Lil Jon would be there.

Isn’t Taylor going to perform unexpectedly?

R6 Yes.

How did I travel back to 2005?

R10 I wish we really could. The world was still somewhat held together in 2005. Everything is a mess now.

Justin is back on drugs. The videos of him at the Fanatics party yesterday show him totally wasted.

R12 alcohol and drugs aren’t the same.

Bieber looks awful

When is the last time Alicia Keys was relevant?

No diversity.

Clearly he chose features based on collaborations. R16 are you slow?

R17 all the openers were white. Why no outrage?

That's what you get when you put Jay-Z in charge of getting the performers.

Meanwhile no complaining when it’s been white on white on white.

I liked Alicia’s bit with the red scarf billowing and the piano.

Keys hasn’t sounded good in years. She really should humble herself and use a backtrack.

But the cankles…

Usher looks fiiiiine for 45.

R24 short and all. He does.

That was actually a fun halftime show. No geriatrics. No political statements. An act who sing and dance with decipherable lyrics. No OTT sets to mask lip syncing.

R26 I liked it too but I see some are saying it was underwhelming. I think people are used to the huge sets and gimmicks now.

It’s a shame Bieber chose not to join in.

Very good and he's still sexyyy

It was fun and Usher is one of the greats, I fear. At it for decades. They really aren't making professionals like him anymore.

R28 I told y’all he was not performing or making a guest appearance. It is Sunday. That man is a die hard Christian.

R31 he is there at the game

Usher is the real deal

R33 yes but he will not perform worldly stuff on Christ’s day.

Lmao The NFL edited out the crack on Alicia Keys voice for YouTube lmao.

I thought the vocals for the Super Bowl were always pre-recorded. Why was A. Keys singing it live?

R36 Some national anthem singers because it’s a one take type thing and all those high notes and melisma. Only non singers like Madge and JLo actually lipsing the halftime performance. All the greats like the Queen, Prince, Tom Petty, sing live. It should be noted that the Queen actually sung the national anthem live during the SuperBowl of nipplegate.

They sing to a backing track in case something goes wrong with the sound.

Yes r38. Most of them sing live with a backing track to support their live vocals if anything happens. J Lo and Madge 100% lipsynched but most of them don’t.

[quote] Most of them sing live with a backing track to support their live vocals if anything happens

Not most, all, if they are dancing.

Usher kind of sang harmony in most of his songs. Which was a choice. Because he is a good singer.

He also is used to singing while dancing nonstop. He’s been doing it since childhood.

I have never seen anyone dancing while singing the National Anthem, R40.

BTW, are non-country men allowed to sing the anthem at major events anymore?

R42 Now there I missed a trick

Even though Whitney gave the best national anthem cover of all time—when people compare her to the Queen, one must remember the Queen was actually singing LIVE.

R39 STFU Janbot. Janet can’t sing to a backing track.

Did Janet sing the National Anthem?

R47 Janet can’t sing Happy Birthday.

[quote]Even though Whitney gave the best national anthem cover of all time—when people compare her to the Queen, one must remember the Queen was actually singing LIVE.

Nobody is comparing Whitney to Queen Crapyance.

R48! 🤣

Lamest half-time ever. Was Vanilla Ice too busy? Or Robin Thicke?

So...did these two lezzies end up fucking?
