Usher delivered an amazing performance at our iHeartRadio Music Festival 2020! Not only did he make history with the very first virtual wave, Usher also took time to remind fans the importance of using their voices by being sure to vote this year for our 2020 election.
During the show Usher shared with fans,
"Right now, we need change in this country. And that change comes by way of using your voice. Your voice is your ability to vote. State to state, city to city, this is the one time in history where your vote will matter more than any time. So, I'm just gonna encourage you guys to vote for whoever you choose to vote for. But, make sure you understand the importance of this election to vote this year."
He continued, "Many people, of my people, sacrificed their lives for our ability to be able to vote. Don't take it for granted, please make sure you guys vote. If this is your first time voting, that's alright. It may be a little intimidating, it might take a little bit to get through the lines; there's voter suppression and all kinds of things you're up against. If you're committed and you understand the importance of this election, you do what you gotta do. Stay on that line as long as you have to, to be able to get that vote.”
If you missed the show you can catch it again on TV on Sunday, September 27th, and Monday, September 28th, at 8pm ET/PT on The CW!
