King of R&B back to reclaim the movie screens and radio, Usher's Flawed coming 2016




I was walking down the street in the city, with my ipod and I often hear this person’s music anyway all over on the radio and I have been a fan since I was probably in junior high school he was singing his new song “No Limit” feat Young Thug. I cannot believe I haven’t wrote about him in such a long time probably not since “Raymond vs. Raymond” in 2010. He has been up to a lot two children, several albums, hosting the show, “The Voice” with Blake Shelton, Gwen Stefani, and Adam Levine.
In the last 6 years Usher has been up to a great deal with judging on the Voice, recording albums, (2012’s) “Looking for myself” he had 5 top singles, “Climax”, “Scream”, “Lemme See”, “Numb”, and “Dive”. With now 9 albums under his belt  (Usher, My Way, 8701, Confessions, Here I Stand, Raymond vs Raymond, Versus, Looking for Myself, and now Flawed), he can pretty much do whatever he wants making some incredible moves as an artist, songwriter, and singer. Also actor Usher can act believe me does anyone remember the movie, “She’s All That”, “The Faculty”, “Light it Up” (1999) this came out during the beginning and height of Usher’s career when “My Way” was booming through our radios and cassette players in 1990s. Now in the new millennium he has had a nice list of movies under his belt, “In the Mix” (2005), “Killers”, “Scary Movie 3” (2013), and now his new film “Hands of Stone” comes out August 26th,, 2016.  Also “Popstar: Never stop stopping” (2017). In “Hands of Stone” he will play Sugar Ray Leonard in the film. A role I have been actually looking forward to him playing in a autobiography for a long time. Now with his new albums and his career taking flight again he is on his way to rising as the Prince of R&B.  He is incredibly talented and of course can pretty much do anything of course as far as a recording artist. If he wanted to record a ballad he can sing it, a gospel song, an electronic dance hit, sing on a hip hop & r&b song. He can pretty much do it all. I have Usher lend his vocals to numerous hit singles, I remember listening to him on this website I used to visit frequently called “My Playlist”.com and me as an avid music lover would sit in my apartment creating, coming up with so many songs and hits I loved from pop, rock, R&B, and all genres. I remember hearing him sing on “Ice Box” by Omarion, listening to him sing with Lil’Jon, Trey Songz,  or even now current solo artist Zayn Malik formerly of One Direction. He can sing with anyone and has a way of connecting to some powerful love & heartbreak songs. He has had a major influence on the current R&B and Pop singers the new guys who have made their mark in the music industry. I have listened to all of theses artists I am familiar with all of their stories and yes Usher has had a major impact on Miguel, Ne-Yo, August Alsina, Jason Derulo, Drake, all of these artists he has managed to influence them
Usher is no stranger to both of course the ladies love him with his 8-pack abs, his dimples, his smile, his dance moves, his voice, his charming personality, and the fact that he is incredibly talented since he was singing probably at the age of a toddler.  Usher is a lothario it goes without saying to people.  In 1998 he was named “The Sexiest R&B Star”, in 2004 and 2008 was considered by People Magazine as “Sexiest Man Alive”. In 2010 he was given the title 50 Sexiest Men Alive, in 2013, he was considered as one of the most stylish R&B singers of the 90s. I would say also in the 2000s. I remember it took a long time for Usher to really find what kind of look he wanted to project to the audience. He wanted people to see him as stylish, cool, edgy, but still age appropriate, well tailored. I think for him he looks amazing in his suits, he just needs a great suit, that fits him, maybe a pop of color, jeans, athleisure wear too. You can put him in about anything and he will look great in it. So for him to come into his own as a style icon for young men. That  says a lot about how he will known also as influencing his style.
He has a way about him where you know he was destined to be a true star, he will be a legend, and he will continue to charm ladies of many generations. He is also a




smart businessman with collections of fragrances and many business ventures. You can believe you will see a lot more from this father of two. He is father to two boys Nayvid and Usher the Fifth aka “Cinco”. Looking forward to Usher’s film this summer and new album. He can only continue to go up from him. He has sold 23.8 million albums in America, sold 38.2 million downloads in song sales, world wide he has sold 43 million albums making him one of the best recording artists of the 2000s.
In 2008 he discovered artist Justin Bieber when he started record label Raymond Braun Media Group. He took Justin under his wing groomed him the same way LA Reid and Sean “Puff Daddy/P.Diddy” Combs did as well. They taught them ropes along with his former manager and his mom Jonetta Patton. He was able to really find his way as well. He is now under new management and now can manage is now currently managed by his wife, Grace Miguel (he remarried in 2015). He is definitely in an amazing place and cannot wait to see his career continue to thrive.  For more information on Usher’s projects visit http://www.usherworld.com You know your girl saw him in 2004 actually I have to go see another Usher show it's been way too long. Lol...but look out for "Flawed" coming this year in 2016.
