Will Usher ever quit copying Michael Jackson?

Seriously that is my only question..Will Usher ever quit copying Michael?
It must be frusterating to his fans, to watch someone with talent just devote so much of it to copying someone else. He reminds me of one of those ten year old boys who would win a dance contest at school by putting on a Beat It jacket and doing the moonwalk for the entire school.

Have you guys seen this man's live perfomance? I haven't but I have seen clips of it..and it looks like he said to his set designer, "Okay so I want my tour to be The HIStory tour Part 2"

I can not stand this guy...sorry if I sound like a dick but he needs to get some of his own ideas and stop copying Michael.

Oh yeah and the HUGE avatar sunglasses..I got news for you..Michael did that in the 80's also. Add it to the list of things Usher stole from Michael.

ill

there was a snippet of an interview on vh1 with him, and he was saying that no one's ever done a dvd like the one he's about to put out. and if someone one did, it wouldn't be the truth. rolleyes i seriously hope he's ego and big mouth come back to kill his career.
as far as the Michael Jackson thing. definitely. in that same segment they showed a part of one of his stupid videos, and i swear it was taken right from "Smooth Criminal"/ "You Rock My World". then again all his moves have always been a MJ rip off. i don't see how anyone can deny that. i think he and his best friend Justin Shitterlake seriously need to quit. they're both nasty ass people anyway. mad mad mad

Usher's trifling ass is a disgrace. I'm waiting for the day when his popularity drops to the toilet.
I'm not a fan of "old Prince". I'm not a fan of "new Prince". I'm just a fan of Prince. Simple as that

If you're a MJ fan, why not just chill and be happy that at least somebody still pay respect to your idol...

Paying respect is showing up at his tribute concert.
Paying respect is buying a CD or t-shirt.
Paying respect is defending him against nasty reporters.
What Usher is doing crosses the line of respect so far, he is now just stealing!

Give it time..

I have faith Michael will be back.

If he could come back in 2001..he could come back in 2005 easy. He had a lot more working against him then. At least now he has been found "Not Guilty" and didn't buy freedom. He went through the legal process. (I think he was innocent in both situations.)

However, the factors working against him are this:

2 Seas Records...WTF? confused It is no "Epic Records." Hell, it is even "Hollywood Records." Oy! I bet Hillary Duff's album will get better promotion than Michael's will on 2 Sea's Records. (Unless they have awesome distribution - which they might!)

As for Usher copying Michael..Meh. Get your own style. We don't need a carbon copy. We have the orignal. And if people forgot..we have DVDS with performances and music videos to remind us!

Hmm...even if he doesnt get much promotion it will sell good amounts for any artist with his numbers but Mike sure needs good promotion next time if he wants big success with the next album, i do hope 2 seas records is good for Mike.

Some kids today think MJ is stealing shit from Usher, yes its been said before hrmph
