Usher opens 10-night London residency, with mixed results

Usher’s 10-night residency at London’s O2 Arena kicked off with a two-hour show that blended impressive moments with frustrating missteps.

The Grammy-winning artist performed over 40 songs, including hits like Yeah, Burn, and OMG, accompanied by seamless choreography and multiple costume changes.

However, the show was marred by some on-stage stumbles, missed cues, and overly long video interludes. Despite this, Usher's magnetic stage presence helped hold it together.

The Past, Present, Future tour, marking a career rebirth, offers a glimpse into Usher's 30 years in music, showcasing his evolution from a teen heartthrob to R&B icon.

Though some sections of the show felt disconnected, Usher's live vocals and energy ultimately captivated the audience, especially during his club anthems.
