Usher delivered a show stopping performing at the Super Bowl VIII halftime show.

Usher fulfilled his dream of performing at the Super Bowl VIII halftime show, and he brought a few friends along for the ride. During Sunday night’s performance (February 11), the Atlanta singer performed at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas.

He started his show with a medley of his best hits, warning that it might inspire singing, dancing, sweating, and other happy emotions. Usher sang "Caught Up," "U Don't Have To Call," and "Love in This Club" before inviting Alicia Keys to play "If I Ain't Got You" and "My Boo" on a lavish red piano.

H.E.R. joined him and contributed guitar riffs to "U Got It Bad" and "Bad Girl." The roller skaters performed an outstanding routine to "OMG" with Will.i.am. After Lil Jon appeared to "Turn Down For What", they joined Ludacris for "Yeah!"
