    THIS FELT A MESS TO ME FOR SOME REASON SOMETHING ABOUT IT JUST WASNT RIGHT

    @monte you is a hater go home. Anyone with common sense knows that was a good performance, and the fact that you wrote in CAPS just made you look more like a hater. on the plus side. WOO. go Usher!

    Why are his vocals somehow kinda weak…?

    Is there an auto-tune effect in the song also or what? Cuz I haven’t heard it before…

    the choreography is on totally different level to anything thats out there right now.

    song sucks, his vocals sucks.

    but i’ll be supporting you all the way Usher!

    This performance was pretty average by his standards..BUT it was one of the best i’ve seen recently I think he finally axed the fears that maybe he cant move like he used to. My only problem with the performance was the autotune…I think it’s really funny how good singers always sound worse with auto tune ala Jame Foxx. But I’m not mad at him though I think if he had just sang without it the performance would have been better but on the track his voice is autotuned. Welcome back Usher, I coped the album on itunes and judging by Omg’s #5 ranking on itunes this looks to be another Billboard Top 10 for Usher and it appears Daddy’s Home isn’t done either went from 31 to 28 on BB. The King has returned.

    @bobby from bulgaria …& everyone else hating on usher’s vocals…

    ….his vocals werent all on point maybe cuz he was dancing his ass off AND trying to sing at the SAME TIME like a REAL performer is supposed to do!????????? something your favorite artist (unless its Beyonce or MJ) probably cant even do in a karaoke bar…. idk, just a shot in the darkness

  • April 1, 2010 at 11:38 am

    Don’t know what was up with this performance but for the last 10 years Usher has
    always been one of the best live performers..Hands down.. no one can dispute that.
    I’ve always considered him a “push play” artist. Something was a little off about this
    one.. can’t really put my finger on it.. One thing is I think is he needs to drop these females dancers. The old crew from confession needs to be brought back out of retirement, QUICK!!!! We don’t want to see acrobatics from Usher,,,, we want to see some hardcore dance moves.. I ABSOLUTELY ADORE USHER but I’m not getting that warm and fuzzy feeling I got from the confession days with this performance.

  • April 1, 2010 at 11:56 am

    @Black…
    His female dancers are now Eletrik Red.. so that would be impossible. I liked this performance, I think you just need to let Confessions be Confessions and blow it out the ass. He cannot do anything without things being compared to that era and it’s unfortunate. This was a good performance — his vocals as Mojo said were a tad bit off, but he has struggled with keeping level vocals w/ high energy performances in the past.. (MTV VMA’s in Miami come to mind as well as the BET 04 Awards when he did Yeah + Burn). He is still a great performer… Now his costume apparel leaves a lot to be desired.

    @Daniel

    SORRY, but Beyonce LIPSYNCHs on stage while she’s dancing…

    DON’T YOU KNOW THAT???

    And Usher didn’t move really THAT MUCH… His voice was a little weak and that auto-tune effect made it WORSE and sound even WEAKER…

    I was really looking forward to this performance, and I hated it! The outfit, the song, his vocals, the fact that he kept saying the word “gosh.” I thought it was atrocious.

  • Miles

    Not trying to hate but I didn’t really like the performance much. Kudos to him for getting out there and promoting it but it was just lackluster to me. Vocals were not quite right (as many have previously mentioned) and although the dancing was good, it’s all what I expected from him. I’m not saying every artist has to go all Madonna and reinvent themself each CD but a little growth is always appreciated. Switch it up a bit. Try something new. Anyway. Like I said… didn’t like it but good for him for getting up on that stage in the first place.

  • April 1, 2010 at 6:12 pm

    I hear auto-tune. Nooo.
    Sounds like an okay song, but I want to hear him sing.

  • Get it!

    April 1, 2010 at 6:14 pm

    I ain’t madd at you Usher i love the song and the Choreography was off the Chain! Show Omarion, Chris Brown, & all these other young nikkaz how to do it. I swear these young people leaving such immature stupid comments. Grow up and learn what real talent is and take that pacifier out your mouth. Fawking Breast feeding wet behind the ears Stu-pi-dos!

  • Get it!

    April 1, 2010 at 6:17 pm

    and another thing Yes he is using auto tune and also his vocals are not all that good because its a voice over. He prerecorded everything ahead of time because of the Choreography. Doing all of that fast dancing and trying to sing at the same time performing live is going to sound like shit. LEARN SOMETHING YOUNG PEOPLE!

    OMG!!!!!! what more do ya’ll people want??? There will NOT be anoher “Confessions” album so get over it!! If u ask me,that performance was HOOTTT and it was on a different level> Y can’t people just except change and move on…by the way…Usher’s new album is GREAT and regardless if the album was bad/good…I would still continue to support no matter what! Can’t wait for the tour! u people stop hating all ur lives…next ya’ll b saying that Chris Brown entertains or dances better than Usher…..look at who he looks up to and aspires to be DUMBASSES!!! USHER 4 EVER and that’s all i’m saying!!
