He was only in his thirties when he performed this song in 2016. He started his career at a very young age. I remember seeing him compete on the show "Star Search" when he was a kid.

How exquisitely Usher sings this. So wonderful to hear such depth beyond his amazing R&B and pop work. Gx

Usher has so much talent. Handsome, charismatic and steadily improving as an artist. He should be so much bigger than he is rn

Many artists tend to try to over sing the hits of great artists. Sometimes it wise to back off and sing a tribute to the great artist. You can't out sing them, so give honor and respect by a good rendition. Usher did that. I have listened to this multiple times because he sang it "sweet"!

@@naomideguyane possible we never witnessed such a humble couple with high moral values in the WH. I do believe it was God's plan to put the first black president with such humility in the WH and at the same time, to punish us with what we have right now for taking for granted that man's work during 8 years. We live in strange times, even evangelist pastors are not following anymore the scripture but power and wealth.
