Usher wants Kendrick Lamar to win big with his Super Bowl Halftime Performance.
After bringing the house down with his medley of hits during last year’s Super Bowl the “Yeah” singer had a key piece of advice for Kendrick as he prepares to take the stage during the showdown between the Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles in New Orleans Feb. 9.
“The one thing I would say is, savor the moment,” Usher told Jennifer Hudson during the Feb. 4 episode of her eponymous daytime talk show. “You get obsessed with trying to build the best performance, but you don’t realize that it’s really about enjoying it. It might not be perfect, everything might not go exactly the way it supposed to but if you are in your mind, and stuck trying to make something perfect, you’re not gonna look up and smell the flowers.”
Despite the pressure and work going into the performance, the “Love in this Club” artist wants Kendrick to bask in the moment.
