Topdog/Underdog Chicago Theatre reviews
Usher performance was AWESOME!!!!!!!
Topdog/Underdog, Miguel, and Trey Songz all did amazing! Hands down Miguel's performance will not be forgotten! All three acts were awesome! The concert lasted a little over 3 and a half hours. It was worth every penny! He kept the audience entertained throughout the whole show. Usher even mentioned that this venue was the loudest so far! It was unforgettable and just how I dreamed it would be. Usher performed over 22 songs from oldies, hits, all the way to Versus. This concert was amazing, well rehearsed, great dancing, and had awesome crowd interaction. This concert made me love Usher even more (if that's even possible). I highly recommend that you buy tickets if you are an Usher fan! I would recommend this concert to every Usher fan out there.
