Totally agree with this! We’ve never seen him like this and I’m so happy for him. 🥹🙌🏾❤️

[@TeshaNebwe]

Usher did that interview and I didn't hear one curse word. Such a gentleman . Stay true to yourself brother. You are an Icon and an excellent role model. 👏

[@elizabethbrown1580]

Never say Never has sold 20 mil now...check your stats sir!

[@reykates6058]

I remember watching this man grow up. Thank you for all the great music and memories! Nothing but respect!

I have seen the vegas show twice and plan to see it again this summer. The show is amazing and I encourage everyone to check it out. The journey through time through his music is beautiful.

Usher is my FAVORITE R&B artist!!!! I've been in love since just call me a mack. Every time he tours I make it my business to go see. His show in Vegas is a MUST see. Keep giving us good vibes Mr. Raymond

[@rikkidgermano9640]

Been watching his careers since his introduction with "Call me a mack" in the early 90s and since then I must admit, his music never really disappointed me. There were like 1 or 2 songs which were not my cup of tea but he stood the test of time, never ages 😁 and his output is solid besides coming across very humble. Legend!!!

[@garretindall2820]

I love when Usher does interviews. Such a genuine dude 🙏🏽

[@feraynor205]

I absolutely love Usher he is the epitome of super talented artist

[@everydayfefe]

I love when he smiles….his eyes twinkle and disappear 😂

[@kristopherdavis2715]

You know what’s so ironic about Usher is that he came up in an era where everyone was great!! Usher’s only competition we’re women. There was no men on his level of artistry besides MJ and maybe R.Kelly in terms of mainstream success. Usher sat with other elites Brandy, Monica, Aaliyah, Destiny’s Child, Mya etc. Usher has that overall star factor which makes him the best male performer of his generation & the king of R&b in my opinion. He has the look, the moves, the sound, & the reputation. Beyond the music, he carries himself like a true gentleman. You rarely hear anything negative about him and that speaks volumes. For him to have a career last over 25yrs and yet he still remains a class act. He’s well decorated, sold millions, diamond album, Grammys. Come on now! Put some respect on Usher’s name! 🙌🏽👏🏽👑

[@ladyt3121]

OMG seeing Usher in Vegas was MESMERIZING!!! Thee BEST concert I’ve EVA seen👏🏾👏🏾❤️❤️

[@Unbothered75]

I remember being 18 years old in college seeing Usher at a hole in the wall club in Columbia, South Carolina. He was introduced as a 14 year old young man and honestly forgot the song that he sung but I'll never forget his voice. I remember it was odd seeing someone so young doing a live performance at a club. I've been a fan ever since.

[@ReedMySole]

Usher will be looked at as one of the goats when it's all said and done. Glad hes been getting his flowers recently.

[@yakitalove1230]

I tell YOU, Usher concert in Vegas was the BEST CONCERT I’VE EVER BEEN TO!!! I was there the First Saturday of the first Residency at Caesars Palace, Usher showed out for ATL, I’m so proud of him! He is a STAR!

[@sonyalewis8015]

Yes ma’am I said the same dam thang best concert I ever been to, concert was so good I think I might go again in October

[@leauxdaniels8155]

FACTS!!!!!!

[@sassyx2048]

Wow! I'm defo going to go now he has one in October.

[@sassyx2048]

My only gripe with this interview is Big boy chat too much God damn! Mam does not shut up. He did more talking than usher. Sadly most podcast are like that. They invite a guest on but end up either finishing their sentence? Or talking about themselves. Usher has so much depth to him now his in really good place you can feel that witj him he looks at peace. Intervuewrs need to go deep with him now that's the skill of a true interviewer.

[@wolfgod6890]

Usher is bigger than a Super Star he's a Icon

[@jill9405]

I'm glad he did this interview. He always gives the best interviews, when Usher did tiny desk I have watch it weekly

Our black people do not age!!!! He look the same, so handsome!! Usher is so talented. Always been a triple threat, singer, dancer, acting. Love his music!!!!

Usher is everything! Saw the show jn Vegas last year and it was worth every penny. Usher is an experience!🥰 one of the few shows I plan on seeing again.

The ICON Usher in the building him and Chris Brown are this generations James Brown & Michael Jackson

Big Boy is sooo amazing. great, great, great interview style. you always make your guests feel amazing! This interview had me grinning the whole hour. Usher really is a legend.

[@keezyb2200]

[@beyourself2444]

They the last of their kind of male singer/entertainer

[@AngeBiampandou]

The new rnb/pop performers are boring for the most parts. Who is even considered the male Beyoncé ? Who is following in the foootseps of the Usher or even a Chris Brown as far as being showmanship ?

[@sofialovinglife597]

But Usher looks better so healthy and great energy

[@ZAYA.21]

I love Usher in every way! He has a natural flawless talent! Not many people my age are still holding on strong. And he is ageless and timeless!❤

This was a fantastic interview. I really enjoyed it. Usher is simply amazing. Went to his concert in Vegas and was blown away. Pure entertainer. I would definitely go again

[@Ryann8822]

Every time the video of usher, MJ & Chris Tucker pops up, for some reason I tear up cuz u can tell MJ was sooo happy. All 3 of them were. As a gen X, Usher was one of the first tapes I ever bought. His first tape, side a and b, i still know by heart. All his songs, minimum 1 is on every playlist i have - whether it's sinatra or nirvana, I add usher in.
