Based on our findings at Power 105.1, Usher and Brown perform 50+ (!) songs at their ‘R&B’ shows.
Usher typically dusts off old classics like “Yeah!,” “Caught Up,” “U Remind Me,” “My Boo,” “Burn” and many, many more.
Meanwhile, Brown drops beloved bops “Poppin’,” “Loyal,” “Look at Me Now,” “Run It!” and “Yo (Excuse Me Miss).” He also dips into his recently-released 12th studio album “Brown” as well.
“It didn’t take long for the entire stadium to [start] singing along,” Broadway World wrote in a review of a late June concert in Minneapolis.
“The moments when Usher and Chris Brown shared the stage were some of the night’s best. Songs like ‘Back to Sleep (Remix),’ ‘It Depends (Remix),’ and the closing performance of ‘New Flame’ felt like genuine event moments, with the crowd fully invested from start to finish.”
In the off-chance you can’t make the Syracuse show, we recommend driving south for a little over four hours to catch Usher and Brown at East Rutherford, NJ’s MetLife Stadium on Friday, Aug. 7 and Saturday, Aug. 8.

At a recent concert, Usher pulled a fan onstage for a mid-show shirtless serenade.
Page Six reported that “as a shirtless Usher started singing to her, she looked painfully uncomfortable, though he continued to try to interact with her by lightly touching her chin and face. But when he tried to get her to recline on the onstage bed and she stiffly moved back, the 47-year-old singer pulled away.”
The woman, Gabrelle Cheyenne wrote “Y’all aren’t gonna get on the internet calling me out my name and disrespecting me and expect me to keep it cool!…Don’t think that yall are gonna bully me about an experience that yall didn’t get!”

In 2009, Brown had a domestic dispute with his then-girlfriend Rihanna that became violent. Soon after, she was sent to the hospital to treat severe facial injuries.
That morning, Brown turned himself into the Los Angeles Police Department. One month later, he pleaded guilty to felony assault. After agreeing to a plea deal that included community labor, five years probation, and domestic violence counseling, the judge ruled a 50-yard, five-year restraining order was necessary for Rihanna.
Brown is also known for his 2013 spat with singer Frank Ocean, a hit and run, breaking internal rules at a rehab center, assaulting his manager and a five-year restraining order from his ex-girlfriend, Karrueche Tran, among other transgressions.
Most recently, he was charged this past May with smashing a tequila bottle over a music producer’s head at a London nightclub in 2023. He was granted bail and plead not guilty.
Many of the world’s most gifted party-starters will be out and about strutting their stuff all year long.
