Usher feels that he is under pressure to be the new Michael Jackson. Yeah, like Michael Jackson fans will be willing to accept this gyrating punk as The New Messiah. Unless, of course, he decides to start writing songs about poverty while living in a million dollar mansion.
Usher says he feels there is something missing in the music world following Jackson’s untimely demise, but luckily for you, he is more than happy to fill the void. He’s already started hanging around with young men like Justin Bieber, so that’s a start.
Sorry. Couldn’t resist.
He said:
“You know, we lost Michael Jackson. A lot of pressure is on me and I don’t mind taking it.”
This means, what exactly? Putting on a massive tour? Yes. Exactly that.
“I wanted to make sure that you get that type of experience that leaves you saying, ‘OMG.’ The impression that I would like to leave is that this guy is really stepping it up to a level where people can hopefully compare me to people like Michael Jackson.
“I basically tear myself apart emotionally, energetically, connecting with you and making sure that you enjoy this moment.”
Beg your pardon? Tearing yourself apart emotionally? Tear apart energy itself? Seriously? Will you tear apart atoms in the encore?
Maybe Usher is the human embodiment of the Large Hadron Collider? Or maybe, just maybe, he’s a very average soul singer who likes dancing a lot and miming on The X Factor.
Anyway, if you were set to go watch Michael Jackson during his 50-night residency at London’s O2 Arena, you might want to go and throw cabbages at Usher when he comes over for having audacity to try and align himself with your favouritest singing man ever.

I love Usher. He is an extremely talented singer and dancer. He doesn’t get the credit or respect he deserves for his hard work in the music industry, and he is definitley NOT a punk, however, he will never be the next Michael Jackson. I’m sick to death of that phrase because there will NEVER be another Michael. AMEN MJFAN, NO ONE will ever come close. Also Mof Gimmers, that “hanging around with young men” crack was TOTALLY unnecesssary.

I’m sure we will still be talking about Usher in twenty years. . . not!
