Usher<\/strong> is performing at the Super Bowl 58 halftime show, so when he found himself next to someone who did the same thing back in 2015, he discussed it.<\/p>\n

Speaking to Billboard<\/em><\/a>, Usher said, “I\u2019ve happened to be around a few people who\u2019ve played the Super Bowl, and they did give me some pointers. I also happened to be on a boat<\/a> not too long ago with Katy Perry<\/strong>, who gave me some notes.”<\/p>\n

Usher and Katy were photographed together this past summer on a boat while touring Croatia<\/a>, along with Katy’s fianc\u00e9,\u00a0Orlando Bloom<\/a><\/strong>, and Amazon head honcho Jeff Bezos<\/a> <\/strong>and his fianc\u00e9e,\u00a0Lauren S\u00e1nchez<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Usher went on to tell Billboard<\/em> that he “appreciated” that last year’s performer, Rihanna<\/strong>, said in an interview<\/a> in December, “Usher is a natural, he\u2019s a legend, he\u2019s been doing this since he\u2019s a teenager\u2026 he is made for that show.”<\/span><\/p>\n

He added, “I\u2019ve watched every performer, analyzing how they maximized those 12 minutes. But you know, your moment is your moment. And this is a moment I\u2019ve prepared for during the last 30 years.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Among the past shows that have stood out to Usher were those from Prince<\/strong>, Coldplay<\/strong>, Beyonc\u00e9<\/strong>, Bruno Mars<\/strong> and Madonna<\/strong> but he noted, “The Super Bowl changed when Michael Jackson<\/strong> performed … before then, they just hired a random band or whoever … [he] reframed how we look at the Super Bowl live performance.”<\/p>\n

Usher promises “special guests” for his show and says he’ll incorporate what he believes are the most important components for a halftime show: hit songs, a live band, a mic that’s turned on, choreography and a “singalong moment.”<\/p>\n

We’ll see how Usher does on Sunday, February 11, when the Chiefs take on the 49ers in Las Vegas.<\/p>\n
