It’s officially Usher week!
After the surprise, early release of his new album Hard II Love on TIDAL today, the R&B star made an appearance on “Ellen” to perform his single “Crash.”
Joined by First Lady Michelle Obama, Ellen introduced Usher to a rousing applause as he hit the stage, gliding through the dance number with ease, and basically the opposite of his debut “slow-mo” performance of the song on “The Tonight Show.” Scenes from the song’s music video played behind him on a large screen before his dancers came out to join his choreographed routine.
Usher received a lot of love for the performance, even a kiss on the cheek from the First Lady. All the audience members were gifted with advance physical copies of Hard II Love to take home.
