    great hide show

    Usher is a great singer. He has a really good voice! I love his music. His songs U got It Bad, Confessions, Caught Up, I Can't Win, Burn, Yeah!, and a lot of his pther songs! Usher has such a great voice. He can dance really good too! He has really good dance moves. I wonder who would win if Usher, Chris Brown, and Omarion had a lil dance off battle. That would be a tough choice. All three of them dance really well. Usher is the co-owner of the Cleveland Cavaleirs NBA besketball team. He is really rich to afford a part of that. He is a very successful artist.

    Great Singer hide show

    I think Usher Raymond IV is a great singer. I like a lot of his songs and he has a nice voice. Some of his songs that I like are My Boo, Confessions, Same Girl, and Yeah! I want to buy his ablums..! I have not seen Usher act yet, because I have never seen any of his movies, hopefully I will soon. I am guessing that he is a better singer than actor though. Well, I think Usher is awesome, I would love to hear his sing more because he has a great great voice. All in all I really like him and cant wait until I buy his ablums and watch a movie that he is in.

    He is a great singer hide show

    I think Usher Raymond IV is a great singer. I like a lot of his songs and he has a nice voice. Some of his songs that I like are My Boo, Confessions, Same Girl, and Yeah! I have his Confessions CD. I haven't seen any of his movies so I can't rate his acting, but I bet he is decent. I think he has more success as a singer than an actor anyways. Him and Tameka Foster and a baby boy named Usher V on November 26, 2007. Although I do think him and Alicia Keys make a cuter couple, I'm still happy for them.

    Talented, alittle cocky with it but talented and I enjoy his music. hide show

    Usher is another amazing man, that puts his all in his work and gives you a hundred percent of hisself and I enjoy the music he makes, I enjoy watching him perform, he can dance his behind off. I just think he is cocky with it alittle and you can't fully put yourself in his shoes when you hear his song because when I hear other artist songs you can feel where they are coming from and put yourself in there position as if you wrote the song but for usher he has alittle attitude up and you can't really understand where's he is coming from but he still does his thing and makes hits.

    he can sing and boy he can dance and as a bonus he is totally hot. id be his boo any day any time!!! hide show

    HE can sine and is totally hott so im writing a rewiew for usher raymond. on my scale to 1-10 he is a 100. i think his best quality is that he can dance till there is no tomorrow and when he was on muchmusic he was so hott. i also have his one and only celebrity credit card, (my parents finally got me) and i dont want to use it and mess up his totally perfect face. and his abs, how does he get those abs, i mean they are like carved out of sotne and soo H O T T T T so that is all i can say that he is hott and talented, and thats more than i can say about mose people
