Wow, surprised they pulled it off so well. That last one isn't even close to an easy song to sing standing still, nevertheless moving around and still staying on pitch.
I like duet like this I would like to see more artist singing popular songs in a duet, I remember when Gerald Levert was alive he would sing on shows specially tribute shows I miss him alot.
Usher is a much more seasoned and experienced singer and performer than Chris Brown. Chris Brown is still young who says he is better than Usher right now. He might catch up one day.
The root of R&B begins and ends with the sound. The sound is what makes the album, it's not just about the beat. It's the real raw emotion of the words and the melody. The hurt, pain, and joy. That's why the Motown sound never gets old and is timeless, just ask anyone over 40. I'm a 90's kid, so this sound is a part of me and will always be a part of my life. I have laughed and cried because of this music, it's in my soul.
love whenever he does a performance he shuts it down I mean him and Mary they work good together plus you got the king and the queen and i agree with @dovail1 they have always looked good they would make a great couple so would him and Alicia keys to i mean plus him and Alicia have been knowing each other every since they were 16 years old
this is a brilliant tribute to James brown USHER thanku love ur version of mans world n MJ doin Aretha babe awesome u r brilliant p.s ceydohhsss i love that part thanx for pointing it out very very sexxxiiii
I doubt I could have sat still in that theater if I had seen this peformance live. This is the Soul we needed to keep the SOUL TRAIN on it's tracks. Alas we move on with fond memories. My Lord they ripped it!!!
Absolutely f***kin superb... Usher has a brilliant voice and he's got the moves to match this style. Listen to the band!!! It's my dream to session for a gig like this, some day...
I ab-so-lutely LOVE this duet they did!! The Do I Do sounded just like the song, and they both delivered!! Would love for my band to do it that way :))
This was amazing. Usher elevated this from kitchy to classy! He had fun with his performance, made it hot & really delivered. Such natural charisma, that guy! And Mary gets points for repressing her typical "wildin' out" dancing antics.
man usher killed this. Its hard to be accurate and on key when you're singing while dancing around the whole time...some of his performances suffer cuz of that, but this one...he keeps up w mary. Stevie would be proud
Usher is simply the best male performer we have left after the late Michael Jackson. Who else comes close. Plus he's a triple threat...sing, dance and act!
@blackprince206 lol i am a fan of usher, but he's not a very good actor either. he still needs some help in that department, gotta call it like it is. maybe within time. and LOL I LOVED PURPLE RAIN lmfao can't nobody tell me that movie was not awesome.
Usher man! This guy inspired me to do what I do and thats to entertain. I saw him doing it and it seemed fun and it is. Since 8 now Im 12. If u wanna check me out just click on my account or type in CraziFeets

Well, I have to take part of that back. We can't forget Prince, either!
Most of the people from this current generation have no idea of just how badassed Prince was/is, b/c they don't get to see it.
As far as triple threat performance, I give the edge to usher, b/c Prince can't act (see: "Purple Rain" and "Under the Cherry Moon").
Prince can obviously write and plays every instrament known to man. I give a slight edge to Prince in the vocal department.
