An 87-Year Old Man Recreated Usher’s “Yeah” Video And Killed It

I have seen some great content in my life, but an 87-year-old man recreating a music video and killing it just might be at the top of my epic things to watch list.

As I was scrolling social media, I came across a video of an elderly man doing what seemed to be dancing. I turned the sound on and was instantly intrigued. This was content I really wanted to watch. When I heard Usher's "Yeah", I had to not only watch this, but to go back to Usher's original video, and the similarities were on point.  They even went as far as to have his leading lady in the video and when I say she killed it, she KILLED it. From the dancing to the free flow of movement, she had it down-packed.

As a DJ, it's very important that I stay up to date on new, yet trending music. I frequently check Shazam charts by not just cities, but also by genre. Shortly after Usher's halftime performance, I'm going through my normal routine. I check Shazam charts starting by city. Not realizing the timing of it all, Usher's "Yeah" was literally number one across the country on the Shazam charts. It made me wonder if it could really be that either people forgot about this song, or if there were indeed a lot of people that did not know the song.

R&B legend Usher will be playing the Halftime show at next year's Super Bowl! It was announced on Sunday (Sept. 24), that Usher will be performing at the 2024 Super Bowl, something that the superstar has wanted for quite some time.

"It’s an honor of a lifetime to finally check a Super Bowl performance off my bucket list. I can’t wait to bring the world a show unlike anything else they’ve seen from me before,” Usher said in a statement on Sunday, adding, "Thank you to the fans and everyone who made this opportunity happen. I’ll see you real soon."

Jay-Z, who signed a multi-year partnership with the NFL through his label Roc Nation, praised Usher's longstanding legacy in the music industry.

"Usher is the ultimate artist and showman. Ever since his debut at the age of 15, he's been charting his own unique course. Beyond his flawless singing and exceptional choreography, Usher bares his soul," said JAY-Z. “His remarkable journey has propelled him to one of the grandest stages in the world. I can't wait to see the magic."

The 2024 Super Bowl will be in Las Vegas where Usher has performed for over a year. He extended his performances one last time. Twelve new shows have been added: Nov. 3-4, 7-8, 10-11, 22, 24-25, 29 and Dec. 1-2. Additionally, he will take his show to Paris from the end of September through early October.

In addition to the Super Bowl announcement, Usher will release his new album Coming Home. The LP will be released on the same day as the Super Bowl, Feb. 11, 2024.

This year Rihanna took the stage and made history as the most-watched Super Bowl performance Rihanna's total views during her performance were 121 million, which beat the record held by Katy Perry in 2015 with 118 million views. Perry brought out Lenny Kravitz and Missy Elliott during her performance, while Rihanna did the show solo.

While Usher is known for his solo efforts, we wouldn't be upset if he brought out some of his celebrity friends on stage with him. Take a look below at some artists we believe would make great additions to the show:

After Usher played an April Fool's joke during his Dreamvile concert performance, he certainly owes his fans to bring Beyoncé out. The superstars only have one song together which is "Love In This Club Part II." However, they had very memorable performance for Usher's Live From Puerto Rico concert special back in 2005. Beyoncé stayed on stage for Usher's performance of "Bad Girl" and fans would not mind if they decided to have a repeat performance. Take a look at the throwback moment here. She headlined one of the best Halftime shows ever, in 2013. In 2016, she stole the show when she guested with Coldplay.

Alicia Keys and Usher did not beat dating allegations after they dropped "My Boo." While they didn't date in real life, it is definitely fans' top features for both artists. The duet by the R&B powerhouses was released in 2004 and served as the fourth single on Usher's Confessions album. We hope that Alicia's invitation to the Super Bowl stage is already out there.

We'd love if Usher, Jon, and Luda could do it again -- and this time at the Super Bowl. Usher has two hits with both artists including "Lovers and Friends" and "Yeah." Both songs are high energy compared to Usher's soulful R&B tunes which would be a great overall vibe to his show.

If Usher really wants everybody up and out of their seats he definitely needs to send an invite over to Black Eyed Peas member will.i.am. The two made "OMG" in 2010 which served as the fourth single on Usher's album Raymond v. Raymond. The song is a part of Usher's "EDM era" which was a popular sound in the 2010s. Fans responded well to Usher's "OMG" which gave the legend his ninth No. 1 hit on the Billboard Hot 100.

To "usher" in his new era, the singer should invite 21 Savage and Summer Walker on stage. Both artists are on his song "Good Good" which will be on his new album Coming Home. The LP will be released on the same day as the Super Bowl which is February 11.

Either way it goes this was pretty dope to watch. I'll include Usher's original video to watch first and the recreation second. I hope you all enjoy this as much as I did. They nailed this all the way down to the outfits! Way to go!

While Usher is great to listen to, he's also not bad to look at either. Even after all these years, Usher is still giving us the same visuals we fell in love with when he dropped Confessions back in 2010. During his live performances, he is always putting on a show. We can't wait for one of the largest gigs of his career coming up in a couple of months.

While Usher has been doing his thing during his Las Vegas residency and performing several festivals over the summer, he is now going to take his talents to the world's largest stage: The Super Bowl. Last month it was announced that Usher will be staying in his second home of Las Vegas a little bit longer as he will be the Super Bowl LVIII headliner.

"It's an honor of a lifetime to finally check a Super Bowl performance off my bucket list," Usher said in a press release. "I can't wait to bring the world a show unlike anything else they've seen from me before. Thank you to the fans and everyone who made this opportunity happen. I'll see you real soon."

Jay-Z, who signed a multi-year partnership with the NFL through his label Roc Nation, praised Usher's longstanding legacy in the music industry.

"Usher is the ultimate artist and showman. Ever since his debut at the age of 15, he's been charting his own unique course. Beyond his flawless singing and exceptional choreography, Usher bares his soul," said JAY-Z. “His remarkable journey has propelled him to one of the grandest stages in the world. I can't wait to see the magic.

Usher's new album Coming Home, will also be released on the day of the Super Bowl: February 11, 2024.  Songs such as "Good Good," "Boyfriend," and "GLU" will be featured on the album.

He is also reportedly going on tour after the Super Bowl in support of his new album so you just might be able to witness these sexy Instagram looks in person.

Take a look at seven of his sexiest Instagram photos below:

Paris Fashion Week never looked this good. The Confessions creator attended the luxury designer event earlier this year and he did not come to play. Usher wore several outfits over the course of the week including a black and blue blazer, a tan leather suit, and even switched up his hair color to an orange during his time overseas.

It's the confidence for us. One of Usher's greatest traits is that he knows how to put a fit on. He wore leather joggers with a loose oversized white tank and a matching jacket. But, it was truly the accessories that made the outfit even sexier. The white shoes, diamond chains, and oversized sunglasses brought the outfit to the next level.

We love a shirtless moment. This photo is from his annual Lovers and Friends Festival which is hosted in Vegas every year. If Usher has more moments like this on stage next year, we are ready to pack our bags and head over to Sin City.

There's something about Usher on this motorcycle that does something for us! The Grammy-winner was the cover star for Zeit Magazin, which is a Germany-based publication. In this Instagram post, Usher also showed more shots from the photoshoot, such as a shirtless photo with him in dress pants, him in an all-black outfit standing next to a car, and a playful shot of him sticking his tongue out. (Don't mind us just hopping on a flight to Germany to pick up a copy).

Usher recreated his "Nice & Slow" single cover in honor of its 25th anniversary and we can't tell the 1997 version from this 2022 photo. In both photos he is wearing his iconic "U" chain as he poses shirtless (thank you for that, Usher). And to answer his question in the caption, at 7 pm on the dot, Usher was in his "drop top, cruising the streets."

If one thing Usher still has its his "IT" factor. He performed one of his latest songs "GLU" at the Dreamville festival back in April when he so conveniently took off his shirt before performing. Let's just say we have suddenly forgotten all the words.

What is the sexiest photo on his Instagram? Easy: this shirtless photo of him standing in a warehouse. His glaring focus into the camera, the sun outlining his body, and now we are all so suddenly jealous of the towel hung on his neck. No caption needed *mic drop*.
