Alyssa Farrah Griffin is letting it be known where she stands when it comes to Usher's Super Bowl Halftime Show performance.

The View cohost gave her opinion on the epic set that that R&B crooner hit the stage with at Sunday's big game on Feb. 11 in Las Vegas, saying he "crushed it," and calling the presentation one of her "favorite Super Bowl shows."

During Monday morning's episode of the talk show, the crew of women chatted about the competitive matchup between the Kansas City Chiefs and the San Francisco 49ers, where Griffin gushed over the iconic musician's star-studded show which saw cameos from the likes of Alicia Keys, Lil Jon, Ludacris, H.E.R., Jermaine Dupri, and Will.i.am.

But amidst her review of the performance, she seemingly threw a subtle jab at previous headliner Lady Gaga, who took the highly-coveted stage in 2017, which her representative cleared up to EW, noting, "I would never shade the QUEEN Lady Gaga. I was simply praising Usher's performance."

"They started with 'My Way,' which I hadn't heard in, like, a million years, and I was so excited. It was one of my favorite Super Bowl shows," the 34-year-old said. "They didn't go overboard on the theatrics. He's such a good performer, he didn't need to, like, come in from the ceiling. He's just dancing and singing."

Gaga, who was also in attendance at the sporting event, famously flew into the venue for her own set while attached to cables, further performing well-rehearsed aerial movements before landing on stage.

Though seemingly not Griffin's cup of tea, the show went on to become one of the most-watched in history after 2015's Katy Perry, who was dethroned by Rihanna in 2023.

While the iconic singer may not have been airborne during the show, Griffin's cohost, Sunny Hostin, pointed out that Usher "did have the skates," something that was also a notable part of his epic Las Vegas residency.

Another major moment discussed was one that we'd be remiss not to mention—the nostalgic segment where Usher went shirtless. Ana Navarro, for one, was a fan of the bare-chest performance, but wished there was more solo time highlighting the "Yeah!" singer and his extensive collection of hits.

"I'm going to be the curmudgeon, here. I'm good, any time a fine-looking man takes off his shirt, I'm all for it. But, I just wish there had been more of Usher," she admitted. "I think he's so spectacular, and my old brain was having a hard time processing the poles, the skates, will.i.am, this one, the other one, it was too much for 12 minutes—give it to me in two hours!"
