Harlem's Apollo Theater celebrated its 90th anniversary in true divalicious style by honoring two music legends—Usher and Babyface. The glitterati gathered, the stage sparkled, and the audience couldn’t help but question whether these icons have discovered the secret to eternal youth.

The event, which raised more than $3 million for the nonprofit organization, was a star-studded affair filled with nostalgia, reflections, and show-stopping performances. Usher was bestowed with the Icon Award, while Babyface received the Legacy Award. You could almost hear the whispers: "Are they immortal?" And indeed, the night's festivities left some feeling like they'd stepped into a time machine, except with way better Wi-Fi and fewer leg warmers.

Jordin Sparks kicked off the evening with a medley of classic songs, a friendly reminder that nostalgia is better when belted out by someone with a jaw-dropping vocal range. Her performance set the tone for a night of musical celebration, serving as a reminder that while our playlists might age, great music never does.

Usher took the stage, not to drop another hit single or show off his dance moves, but to deliver a heartfelt acceptance speech. Reflecting on his early memories of the Apollo, Usher expressed his gratitude for being honored at a place so integral to his career. One couldn't help but wonder if there will ever come a time when his dance moves don't defy the laws of physics. (Hint: Probably not.)

Not to be outdone, Babyface graced the mic with an acceptance speech dripping in humility, regaling tales of his impressive journey. He reflected on his career with the sort of nostalgia that makes you want to dig out your old cassettes—if only you hadn’t thrown out your Walkman during that misguided spring cleaning spree. He humbly accepted the Legacy Award, proving that real legends don’t need to scream their accolades; they just need to sing them beautifully.

Throughout the night, young talents and established artists alike honored these legends with tribute performances. As each tribute rolled on, the crowd was increasingly convinced that perhaps Usher and Babyface just might be drinking from the same fountain of youth as Pharrell and Keanu Reeves. (Seriously, scientists, please investigate.)

To cap off an already unforgettable evening, Babyface surprised everyone with a performance of his timeless 1989 hit, "Whip Appeal". The crowd went wild, partially because the song's sultry vibes made it impossible to sit still, and partially because, at this point, everyone was convinced they were witnessing a concert in a wrinkle-free, ageless alternate universe.

The Apollo's 90th anniversary wasn't just a celebration of its rich history and cultural significance; it was a testament to the enduring allure of its honorees. As the night wrapped up, attendees walked away with the realization that icons like Usher and Babyface aren’t just timeless—they’re practically immortal.

In a world where overnight sensations are as common as TikTok dances, the enduring impact of legends like Usher and Babyface serves as a reminder that true talent never fades. Whether they're rocking the stage or delivering acceptance speeches, these icons have proven that they aren’t just a part of music history—they are music history.

So, while scientists and conspiracy theorists might continue to debate the secrets behind their seemingly eternal youth, one thing is certain: Usher and Babyface will keep us entertained for years to come, wrinkles or not.
