Usher will have a lot of guest stars on his Super Bowl show tonight.
Alicia Keys is locked to reunite with him for their long ago hit, “My Boo.” That much is known.
There’s speculation that Justin Bieber will make a comeback tonight in the show. That’s not so exciting, but Usher and Bieber have been friends since Justin first escaped Canada to wreck havoc in the US. If it happens, it happens.
Usher should have Billy Joel. Usher’s new song, “A Town,” is based entirely on Billy’s “Uptown Girl.” Could Billy do it? He just played the Grammys and a Madison Square Garden show this week. If Taylor Swift could fly to LA from Tokyo, why not?
We won’t be seeing Sean “Diddy” Combs for obvious reasons But Lil Jon, Ludacris, and Jadakiss are strong possibilities. Also maybe Jay Z will pop out on stage. He’s producing the whole thing for Apple.
Usher’s new album, “Coming Home,” is number 1 after its release on Friday. I told you weeks ago this was a beautifully coordinated release plan. Once the half time show is over, all of Usher’s old hits will be crowding for spots on iTunes!
