Super Bowl halftime shows ranked: Where does Usher rank with Prince, U2, Rihanna?

New York Times  

Surprise guests, roller skates, a shirtless Usher and a spicy hug with Alicia Keys to spawn memes. And by the finale — when Lil Jon and Ludacris joined Usher on stage for “Yeah!” — it felt like we’d just seen a great halftime show. I was interested, but it’s not a good sign when notes from a halftime show include, “It was fine.” I like all of these acts. Even before “the incident,” this halftime show already had a different vibe than any we’d seen before. Finish it with Dr. Dre playing the piano on “Still D.R.E.,” and it’s the second-best Super Bowl halftime show of all time.
