How many artists do you know that have been discovered at their hometown talent show? Well, that happened for Usher, who is an R&B singer and song writer. Usher’s mom was his manager for quite some time. In Usher’s album Confessions he sings about his own life experiences. "It takes guts to talk about the stuff I talk about on this album," says Usher. In this album he has a song that talks about an unplanned pregnancy. A feeling that may be evoked to the listeners of this album could be understanding, because the listeners might be going through some of the same things that Usher is too going through. In Usher’s song “Confessions” he sings about the unplanned pregnancy. Here is a little part of his song, “Just when I thought I said all I can say my chick on the side said she got one on the way these are my confessions.” He is confessing to his listeners that he too makes mistakes. In his song, “You Got It Bad” he is singing about love. While listening to this song, one may defiantly feel loved. In the lyrics to this song, Usher says, “I said I’m fortunate to have you girl I want you to know that I really adore you.” Usher wants this special girl to know how much she truly means to him. Usher often sings about love and romance. Like Usher, Ne-Yo is also an R&B singer. Usher and Mario are too, very similar. Not only can the two of them sing, but they are also phenomenal dancers. Mario’s song, “Let me Love You” is very similar to Usher’s song, “You Got it Bad.” They both, very often sing about love. According to critics, Usher is an amazing singer, along with song writer. He has worked hard for his success and defiantly deserves to be where he is today. In my opinion, I would strongly suggest that you give Usher a listen if you haven’t yet heard any of his songs. If all these “lovey” songs aren’t your thing, try listening to his song “Yeah” and I guarantee it’ll make you want to dance and it may just be stuck in your head for the rest of the day. I must confess, Usher is one of my favorite artists, not only because he is extremely attractive, but because I fell in love with his voice.
