Usher’s electrifying four-night extravaganza at Intuit Dome
Usher recently wrapped up a sensational four-night run at Los Angeles’ new Intuit Dome, leaving fans in awe with a series of performances that showcased his extensive catalog of hits. The event was a star-studded affair, featuring appearances by comedian Kevin Hart, DJ Lil Jon, and rappers Juicy J and Tommy Richman. However, the highlight of the evening was undoubtedly the surprise appearance of music legend Stevie Wonder.
A night of musical legends
The audience was on their feet for most of the night, captivated by Usher’s dynamic stage presence and the parade of guest stars. The energy in the venue reached its peak when Stevie Wonder took the stage. Usher, visibly moved, knelt beside his idol as Wonder praised him, saying, “I’m here to celebrate you and that’s why I’m here tonight.” Wonder even mentioned that Usher’s recent hit, “Good Good”, was among his favorites.
Wonder used this special moment to deliver a powerful message about unity and the importance of voting. He emphasized that his upcoming tour and new single aim to promote healing and togetherness. “You are the ones to hold the key,” Wonder told the audience. “My vision has always been to see this be a united people of these United States.”
A heartfelt tribute
The emotional high point of the evening came when Usher and Wonder performed “Ribbon in the Sky” together, with the entire audience joining in. The duo also sang “Overjoyed,” a fitting description of the crowd’s reaction to Wonder’s presence. This performance was a testament to the enduring power of music to bring people together and create unforgettable moments.
Honoring musical influences
Usher didn’t stop at honoring Stevie Wonder. Earlier in the set, he paid tribute to Bobby Brown, who was in the audience. Usher reminisced about scraping together money to buy Brown’s first album and then played snippets of hits like “Tenderoni,” with the audience singing along. Brown, visibly touched, beamed with pride from his seat.
A touch of comedy
The more than two-hour show also had its share of lighter moments. One of the most memorable was when Kevin Hart took the stage as the band started playing “Nice and Slow.” Hart, in his usual comedic fashion, removed his tank top and declared, “Ladies, I got time tonight!” before Usher humorously shooed him off the stage, asking, “What the fuck are you doing?” The audience erupted in laughter, adding a playful touch to the evening.
The tour continues
Usher’s Usher: Past Present Future tour is set to continue through December, promising more nights of unforgettable performances and special guest appearances. This tour not only celebrates Usher’s illustrious career but also highlights his ability to bring together different generations of music lovers.
