Usher has one of the smoothest vocals. Dude is definitely a vocalist and some power to his voice. He ain't tevin Campbell or Whitney Houston, but still.

hes the epitome of generic breh.

he doesn't survive without JD & Laface.

hes a great entertainer tho. that's his strong point. focus on that, instead of lowering the bar.
Dude isn't generic. Britney spears is generic. Usher vocals is smooth. Dude vocals made a lot of those records dope. His vocals carried the weight of his best albums just as much as the production. Confessions, 8701, my way, etc.

by r&b/soul standards he is generic vocally.

the fact that you had to resort to comparing him to a teeny-bopper pop artist, says it all.:sas2:

I compared him to britney to show what generic really is talent wise.

Dude is a good singer period. Vocally Usher is smooth as hell and has one of the best falsettos.

AGAIN, the fact that you had to cross genres to the lowest denominator form of music in order to make your comparison stick, says it all.

listen, you cant post up in a thread like this and ask "why did r&b fall off so bad?" and then turn around and try to gas up an average singer's vocals.:laugh: youre part of the problem.

if you like usher, thats wassup. hes a great entertainer. but stop trying to push him as some sort of shut-down vocalist tho. that chit is corny.

Usher ain't a average vocalist. Usher is a good vocalist. It's ridiculous the way your undermining his vocal talent. :what:

Can/will music ever get back to this?

Here's the rap version of "Freedom"



The thought of Patra, Queen Latifah, MC Lyte, Aaliyah, TLC, SWV, Yo-Yo, Lalah Hathaway, Monica, etc. on a track together is crazy :damn:

Left Eye's verse :leon:

TLC looked so good in that video. All very naturally pretty women.

laface/arista tried to make a power move by giving usher a solo part at them awards, and they ended up falling flat on their faces.

shows them right.

too bad stuff like this doesn't happen nowadays. today, its all forced power moves going unchecked.

I doubt it matters.

I don't believe your listening to his singing because your the only person that I've ever heard online or offline that thinks that usher is a average singer.

Chris Brown &trey songz are average singers.










These are some examples. He ain't average. He's a good singer. Not a great singer, but nonetheless a good singer.
