Fans are still talking about Usher's performance during the Super Bowl earlier this month. He stepped into one of the biggest stages in all of music and unpacked some of the biggest hits of his illustrious career.

Despite the halftime show crystalizing his image as one of the biggest superstars in all of music, Usher still lamented a decades old snub in a recent interview. He explained that he still feels slighted by his landmark album Confessions failing to win the Album of The Year Grammy. It was part of a stacked category that included Kanye West's landmark debut The College Dropout, Green Day's punk-rock epic American Idiot, and Alicia Keys' The Diary Of Alicia Keys. All of those albums ended up losing to Genius Loves Company, the posthumously released final album from Ray Charles.
One person who wasn't at the Super Bowl that fans were expecting was Justin Bieber. In another recent interview Usher explained how his appearance fell through but promised that the pair have something else coming soon.
