Chris Brown and Usher opened their co-headlining R&B tour last night, and fans are already divided over the performances.
The R&B stars kicked things off after months of teasing on Instagram. Brown had posted “Y’all not ready” with fire emojis ahead of the announcement video showing masked riders and the pair stepping into an elevator.
Social media lit up with clips from opening night. Some called the show a must-see with strong vocals and choreography, while others slammed the setlist as too similar to Brown’s previous tours and questioned the split of stage time.
Critics noted heavy Auto-Tune on Brown’s parts and no live band, though supporters praised the closing performance of “New Flame.” Mixed reviews flooded X with both hype and disappointment.
One fan even joked about muting keywords to avoid spoilers for their $500 ticket.
