Usher is currently on tour and stopped in Saint Louis to do two shows. I was able to catch his performance yesterday, the 26th, here in Saint Louis. It was a lot of fun and extremely entertaining! The first half of the show had a lot of dancing, roller skating, and huge screens showcasing interesting imagery about Usher's life due to the theme being that an artificial intelligence of sorts is looking at his past, present and potential future--which makes sense as this is the, "Past, Present, Future," tour. The second half of the show slowed things down and featured more of Usher standing and doing the best special effect he has--singing with his incredible voice.
The crowd was pumped, with the many ladies in the audience getting especially loud the first time Usher ripped his shirt off and poured a bottle of water over himself. The women also enjoyed a segment in the latter half where Usher went down into the crowd and fed the women cherries from a big bowl he got at a nearby bar area. It was humorous but dragged on a bit long compared to how quick and exciting the rest of the show was with the numerous costume changes, dancers, and crazy lights going on and off.
I had a lot of fun at Usher's concert and everyone else in the audience seemed to be having a gas as well. A ton of effort had clearly been put into creating an exciting and engaging show with Usher making sure to sing a bunch of his hits newer and older in addition to some less-known but still quite catchy tunes--the man has an extensive catalog. One fun thing was that at points Usher threw out stunt money and one crew member was kind enough to give me an extra bill when I asked. Take a look:
If you are able to see Usher while he's on tour I would encourage you to do so. I had a great deal of fun and appreciated the mix of showy stuff and chill moments where Usher focused on singing. It was a superb show!
