Not an Usher fan but this impressed me greatly

This live cover with the multiple keyboards, fuzzy guitars and backup singers really surprised me. I'm not a fan of the guy but WOW at this. What do you guys think?

I finally broke down and ordered my very first Usher CD, "My Way". I listened to the samples and it actually sounds pretty decent. The songs sound pretty good and his voice is front and center and not buried in the music. Not nearly as horrible as any of the albums he's released in recent years. It only cost 1 penny so I figured what the hell! lol Walmart has the deluxe version of "Confessions" for $5. I listened to some samples but I just cant bring myself to buy that one.

He's probably doing a Timbalake and going Prince on us.

However, one: it's a cover and two: it's still simple stuff full of looped rifs and simple chord structure i.e. pop and he shouldn't pose with an instrument lol, but it's definitely a foot on better path....

Until he releases an album of real music, he's still gonna be the nonse that gave us OMG among most his other insults that come packaged with the mainstream.

That's what I was thinking LOL

Also, how much effect does he have on his voice? He is very flat.

The original

I think he tried to recreate the flat vocal of the original, hence the effects
