Obviously, Usher is an icon. His catalog of hits and deep cuts are well-established, and he’s given the people nothing but jams across his multi-decade career.
And he’s got some experience when it comes to the Super Bowl stage: He previously performed at the big game with Black Eyed Peas back in 2011 for Super Bowl XLV.
So the internet naturally had some opinions about Usher being confirmed for this year’s festivities — especially in regards to other people who think that Usher doesn’t have enough hits for the show itself. Read on:

Usher gaining the coveted Super Bowl spot is so overdue , geezerhood overdue really . But this timing is excellent — his undeniable Vegas dominance , his Tiny Desk , little chart resurgences as of late . It ’s clock time for Usher ’s reformation . And above all a celebration of legacy .
