Usher’s Thursday performance in the intimate Tiny Desk Concert series by NPR left the internet in shambles after he reminded everyone why he’s the king of R&B.
The 43-year-old flaunted his Whitney Houston-caliber vocals and delivered an unforgettable performance of his greatest Grammy-winning hits including You Make Me Wanna…, Superstar, U Don’t Have to Call, Nice & Slow, Confessions Part II, and My Way.
He was accompanied by a live band composed of a keyboardist, saxophonist, drummer, trumpeter, trombonist, guitarist, and bassist.
The R&B legend also brought along Vedo and Eric Bellinger for backup vocals.

“I brought my brothers with me,” he said as he introduced them. “Two of the most incredible voices of this time. I wanted to share this moment with them and with you, to share their talent.”
A stellar end to June’s Black Music Month, the 30-minute performance evoked nostalgia from the fan-favorite tunes, particularly stunning social media with his vocals on Superstar, which sent him trending on Twitter.
“We celebrate Black Music Month. This has been Black magic,” the R&B superstar commented at the close of the concert, before performing My Way on its 25th anniversary album release.
