@ Breezyisthebest befor I give my answer to the original question let me say to you if you think that chris brown deserves to have any crown you gotta be smokeing that good stuff..what records have chris broke what number was he on billboard top decade artist? Chris brown is a good dancer but that is not all it takes to be the next michael..chris can't sing better than usher and hasn't even won a grammy..ushers confessions album has sold more than all of chris browns albums combines..even ushers my way album sold more than all chris browns albums combined lol....and as far as chris being in a better spot if it wasn't for 2009 well that's his fault for being STUPID! No one told his ass to beat up rihanna..he ended his own career even had oprah talking bad about him if oprah don't like you than your done I'm sorry........Now back to the original question I think usher is a innovator 100%....he has proved that he is here to stay..you name another rnb male artist who's a entertainer who is still relevant..usher been doing this 15 years Neyo fell off..trey is cool but I believe his level is were it is and will go no higher..and chris brown is still trying to repair his image..omarion is buried alive by the way..usher also has trademark moves like the usher glide and the U hand stand and spinning the chain around his neck what does chris brown have crumping? Usher is a icon point. Blank deal with it and I can't wait for his new Revolutionary pop album
