I was in New Orleans at the Essence Festival the night Usher performed this song along with an amazing version of "A House Is Not A Home". Both performances were a part of a get-well tribute to Luther just before he passed. Ush was in rare form that night! Absolutely outstanding!

I was there too. It was recorded and supposed to be aired but never was. Luther was originally scheduled to perform.

I am impressed. I have gained new respect for Usher. He has actually done a fitting tribute to the great Luther Vandross by singing this beautiful song in the same style as Luther, and did it well! Luther Vandross would be proud!

I was cool seeing Usher singing to an older audience, dancing the old school dance... He is talented... We can't expect too much more, cause fact is that Luther was something else, he was not average... Nobody will ever do like him... But I'm glad to see Usher like that, cause I'm looking for him to do something more grown up for years... he could make a brilliant carrer with more consistent songs, just like that.

Takes me back to when you debuted with Just call me a mac. I was a senior in HS and I told everyone Im taking Usher to the prom! I was determined to meet you & ask you (and drag you if need be. Lol) Dang, that was dumb!
