It was the persistent rumor that circulated in the days leading up to the Super Bowl Super Bowl: Justin Bieber would perform with Usher. They collaborated on the song Somebody To Love, which dates back to 2010, and for Usher's performance, The Biebs would once again take the stage. Honestly: I found it quite a plausible rumor; there were several people saying that a dressing room for Justin was already prepared.

Additionally, Justin performed for the first time again earlier this month; last year he canceled his entire Justice world tour (which meant his concert in Amsterdam unfortunately didn't go ahead) and since then he hasn't sung a note on stage. Until about two weeks ago, and that made the rumor mill spin even harder. Justin back on stage? Is he making his big comeback during the Super Bowl?

As we now know: no. But if it had been up to Usher, it would have gone very differently, as he did ask Justin to join him for a song. But unfortunately, he declined the offer. The reason has now come to light and it is simpler and more understandable than I expected.

‘Justin just wasn’t feeling it.‘ HAHA. What a wonderfully dry statement, and I can totally relate to that. A Super Bowl is all a lot of fuss, Justin would much rather just watch it with Hailey from the suite. I get it.

By the way, it wouldn't even surprise me if Justin Bieber never goes on tour again; he clearly doesn't enjoy it and seems happier than ever since he canceled his world tour. Well, who can blame him? Just release a song every now and then and sing when you feel like it without having to rehearse for a massive tour. He's got it good now, that Biebs.
