“U Don’t Have to Call,” “Forever Young,” and “Superstar?” Not only yes, but on roller skates, no less! “Seduction,” “Bad Girl,” and “Good Kisser?” Mmhmm… (While making it rain with UshBucks, in a two-story ersatz strip club, mind you.) “Downtime,” “U Remind Me,” and “U Make Me Wanna?” You’d better believe it! And as if that’s not enough to dazzle the audience (which was eating out of the palm of his hand, from the get) he performed “Nice and Slow,” “Climax,” and “Bad Habits” while popping, blocking, and grooving on top of a hydraulic cylinder that rose high over the audience, with a mic-stand as his only prop.Īnd as is the way with many contemporary artists, many of Usher’s biggest hits were recorded with guest artists or as duets, and in some cases were songs by other artists on which Usher appeared as a featured artist. An easier query might be what doesn’t he sing! “My Way,” “I Don’t Know,” and “Caught Up?” Yes. So, you’re probably wondering what he sings in his show. What’s more, of his 18 Top 10 hits, nine have gone to #1, spending a cumulative 47 weeks at the top of the charts, which is more than any other male recording artist in history. Further, in addition to his 8 GRAMMY Awards, 18 Billboard Music Awards, 9 Soul Train Music Awards, and 8 American Music Awards Usher has two Platinum-certified albums, two multi-Platinum-certified albums, and a Diamond-certified album from the Recording Industry Association of America, accounting for the 100 million records he’s sold, worldwide. And there’s a lot of ground to cover from the talented artist who has been listed in the Guinness World Records for the past dozen years under the category of “Most R&B No.1s in the US” (you’d better recognize!). USHER: My Way, The Las Vegas Residency is, for all intents and purposes, a greatest hits compendium-as the best Las Vegas residencies tend to be-and takes audiences on a four-act journey through more than thirty of his most beloved songs, as well as one yet-to-be-released single. In the nearly 30 years since he first burst into our collective consciousness-“Call Me a Mack” was released in 1993 on Music from the Motion Picture POETIC JUSTICE and as a single-we’ve watched Usher Raymond IV evolve into the golden-throated, stage-sliding, fedora-flipping, award-winning mono-monikered entertainer he is today: An artist who has just unveiled his second blockbuster Live Nation Las Vegas-presented residency show.
