Has Usher just delivered one of the best Super Bowl Halftime Shows of all time? Well, viewers seem to think so.
Taking to the stage amid the Super Bowl LVIII showdown between the Kansas City Chiefs and the San Francisco 49ers, Usher sent the crowd (and viewers) into a frenzy as he performed a medley of his biggest hits.
We heard 'Yeah!', 'OMG', 'Love In This Club', 'Burn', and more - and even had a surprise performance from music icon Alicia Keys.
And after an electrifying performance, the verdict was in as viewers took to X (formerly Twitter) to share their thoughts on Usher's career-defining moment - and it's safe to say that people were impressed.
"That halftime show was one of the best halftime shows in quite some time. Killed it! #SBLVIII," one person tweeted.
A second agreed, writing: "Best Super Bowl halftime show for a very long time."
"That was the best halftime show I’ve seen in a very long time," wrote another - with this person pointing out the moment that surely left us all in awe; a dude skating on his head.
"Usher crushed it! The most entertaining halftime show I can remember! Loved the Michael Jackson moves and glove!! I’ve never seen a person roller skating on his head until now!!! Best show ever," they wrote.
High praise indeed from viewers -- but let's just remember some of the best Halftime shows from the last decade:
