Leave it up to Twitter to turn a clip of Usher’s Tiny Desk Concert into a funny viral meme.
In honor of Black Music Month, Usher performed some of his hit classics in a 25-minute NPR’s Tiny Desk Concert series. The R&B singer sang a range of songs from his albums My Way, 8701, and Confessions. When the beat dropped for the iconic Confessions Part II dropped, he says the ad-lib “watch this” while bouncing back and forth and his fingers in a peace sign over his eyes. Though the original song has the same ad-lib, social media thought the hand movements made it worth capturing it as a meme.
