I love it, when he wears sunglasses in dark buildings.

Gained respect for Usher after seeing an instrument in his hands. Sure it's a simple bass line, but at least he's doing it. I wish he would do more music this way where he's more involved. This sounded much better (even though it was a cover) than his songs about nightclubs and lil'jon.

No. This is awful. No version can beat the original.

[iforgothowtotype]

This is unacceptable. 

[ihugtheworld]

ok, I've found my fav version of this song! :D

[TheZephyr2Nirvana]

As a bassist, I'm offended to see Usher with a bass.

[snudge55]

How can somebody be that be that bad at pretending to play an instrument :O

[Nicholas Johnson]

He's too busy writing songs, singing, and dancing his ass off to play instruments. He's pretty good at what he does.

[Joseph Capaldi]

I am a bassist and guitar player and I can tell ya - he ain't playing the bass in this track, he just performs with it ... In the verse and at the end of the intro he stops playing but the bass keeps going.

[Chelsea Taylor]

[Terence Slowey]

[5aside100]
