Usher says his upcoming performance at Sunday’s Super Bowl will be "a new beginning" for his career. He made the comments during a news conference held yesterday at the Mandalay Bay Convention Center in Las Vegas. "I don't have this moment myself," Usher said. "All the fans that are praying with me, each and every person that had anything to do with the music, the creativity. Everybody is part of this celebratory moment." He continued: "I will be up until this day the only independent artist who has ever performed the Super Bowl halftime show. So this is the beginning. This is a new beginning for me."
