Usher Super Bowl Setlist
Speaking to Entertainment Tonight, Usher talks about the difficult task on squeezing his entire discography into an almost 15 minute performance at the Super Bowl.
"This is a celebration of my legacy. It's a celebration of my music. It's a celebration of my passion," he told the outlet. "Thirty years ago that journey started and now it's landed me at this point in my life at the Super Bowl. Lot of songs, lot of moments, lot of dance, lot of energy."
As of this writing, Usher's Super Bowl setlist is yet to be unveiled as he is having a hard time constructing it.
"You've got 13 minutes in order to get through an entire legacy of music," he said of his set list.
Despite the pressure, Usher maintained that he's still happy and blessed with the opportunity because of the friends and new people that celebrates his music with him.
"... I don't take it for granted. My mother talked about this moment many years ago actually and there was the thought that maybe it wouldn't come. It was just a matter of time and making certain that the moment was right," he reflected.
