Live performances
Usher first performed "DJ Got Us Fallin' in Love" on Good Morning America, alongside "OMG".[33] A few days later, Usher performed the song on The Ellen DeGeneres Show.[34] On December 17, 2010, he performed the song alongside "There Goes My Baby" on Jimmy Kimmel Live!.[35] Usher performed "DJ Got Us Fallin' in Love" in the season five finale of America's Got Talent,[36] and in the seventh season of The X Factor.[37] He performed the song during his OMG Tour, alongside several other tracks.[38] The song was performed with "OMG" during the 2010 MTV Video Music Awards.[39] VMA executive producer Dave Sirulnick told MTV News, "We said to him, 'We want to do the best televised dance routine that you've done in years. Let's show why you're the king.'"[39] MTV Buzzworthy writer, Tamar Antai was present at the rehearsal for the show, and commented that the VMA crew was about to "pull off visual feats not just previously unseen and unparalleled at the VMAs, but unseen and unparalleled on TV."[40]
The performance was received with critical acclaim. On Usher specifically Antai said the performance was like "liquid magic", saying, "He took it to the level that comes after the next level. The penthouse level."[40] He was aided by about a dozen background dancers, the males in skeleton-like costumes, and the females donning a one-piece, gloves and boots.[41] The "OMG" performance was accompanied by red laser lights, making an illusion as if the stage disappeared.[42] The lights spelled out "O.M.G" as well as "Usher", as dancers lowered from the ceiling.[42] Jayson Rodrgiguez of MTV News commented, "The singer moved and grooved, proving that he's the R&B star that everyone pays attention to for the big moments."[39] Rochell D. Thomas, also of the site said "Call it what you will: talent, swag, skills...When he steps on the dance floor, some mysterious thing comes out of him and puts the G in groove."[42] Thomas went on to say that Usher's dance moves would make "the late great Michael Jackson jealous" in the stage production "that included more special-effects bells and whistles than a summer blockbuster."[42] Chris Ryan of MTV Buzzworthy also compared the performance to Jackson, calling it overall, "One part "Tron," one part laser show, one part Michael Jackson choreo tribute, and all spectacle."[41]
