I enjoyed the halftime performance. Just wanted some songs to be longer. He definitely wants to celebrate Confessions 20th anniversary, which is why some songs (You Make Me, U Remind Me, Climax, DJ, Daddy's Home) were omitted. The wardrobe was everything as was the choreography! Love the tribute to Atlanta, HBCU culture and the ending. Vocals were solid! K but the superbowl isn’t the time to celebrate one album. The biggest stage in the world is where you celebrate your 30 year career, and it’s not like he doesn’t have 5 #1 hits outside of Confessions.

OMG! He killed that Super Bowl performance. The ATL segment was pretty live. I see how they snuck the "Freek-A-Leek" beat during Luda's verse in "Yeah!". lol. I was actually shocked he used his My Way singles ("Nice & Slow" and "My Way") and even "Superstar" and "Bad Girl" from Confessions. Those tend to be my favorites.
Now about this album. lol. It's decent. My favorite songs so far are "Good Good", "Cold Blooded", "I Am The Party", "I Love U" and "Please U". "Ruin" and "Risk It All" are also nice.

Ruin has grown on me in such a major way. Actually, the album in generally is a grower. I really love his vocals throughout. Please U still gets me like...WHEW.

I'm very proud of Usher for all his accomplishments recently. Hope he announces a global tour in every country soon. Does anyone know if Usher is pushing Ruin to radio? To all formats and internationally? Does he have another new single lined up? Will he release Kissing strangers, I love U, Please U or Coming home as an additional new single?
Does he have so much other promo lined up after the Superbowl? Coming Home should be a classic like Rvr, My Way, 8701 and Confessions. It truly deserves to be. I don't want this era to vanish fast like H2l and L4m did.

Yeah Usher is giving us vocals on this album. What other male singer is doing it right now? I ask that seriously because I want to listen to them lol. I like "Ruin" but wish it had a bridge to really take it to the next level. Same for "Cold Blooded." Actually as I think about it, a lot of songs on the album lack a bridge; "Please U" and "Risk it All" don't either.

*edit* There's an exclusive Skims edition of the album, lmao (yes the Kardashian undergarments line). And it has a bonus track called "Naked" that's definitely better than over half the album. Throw that on and make it a very solid 14 track R&B album. Thanks for the heads up! $5 for a digital version plus a bonus track and alternate artwork? SOLD. skims.com/products/coming-home

I love his performance during the halftime show, he delivered a fantastic show. I keep watching it. "Yeah" is one of my least favorite Usher's hits but I can't deny it's a banger and it works so well here. OMG! He killed that Super Bowl performance. The ATL segment was pretty live. I see how they snuck the "Freek-A-Leek" beat during Luda's verse in "Yeah!". lol. I was actually shocked he used his My Way singles ("Nice & Slow" and "My Way") and even "Superstar" and "Bad Girl" from Confessions. Those tend to be my favorites. I love that ATL segment. I have it on repeat. So festive!

Looking forward to seeing many other lifetime achievement awards this year given to Usher. He is the man. Will we know when Usher will release Kissing strangers, I love u, or Please U? I know Ruin is the current single after Good Good, Risk it all and Standing next to you with Jung Kook. I hope Kissing strangers or Please u gets released because those songs will be huge.

I hadn't heard from Turn The Lights Off in a while, but Stone Kold Freak REALLY grew on me. Damn, this is actually a really solid album. I'm surprised he didn't throw the super pop girlies a bone and include an archived Will I. Ain't track on her, but...not mad at that decision at all. He was smart to keep the pop to Tik-Tok friendly pop/R&B hybrids this time.
