Usher delivered a speech to more than 1,200 graduates, encouraging them to break the barriers. My goal as an artist has always been to inspire people to make a positive impact through my music, to make you feel something, and last night I felt proudof the legacy that has been built and that were building together as artists, Usher said.

Usher urged the graduating class to keep running past that finish line [of your goals], break the barriers, identify that spark in you that motivates you to keep going, and dont expect everything to be perfect and run smoothly. Take what youve learned here [at Berklee], go into the world, and make great things. He recently told BET.com that hed be honored to perform at the Super Bowl. I mean it goes without saying, he said. Its a major moment for any performer to be welcomed to that. Theres people that have some opinion about it, but yeah, I would love it.
