The salient points


  • Usher is ACTUALLY HIS REAL FIRST NAME.

  • His first number one 'You Make Me Wanna' was released in 1997 with Usher saying that the song was inspired by his experience of "juggling three women", a feat of no insignificant physical strength.

  • 'Yeah!' went to Number One in 15 countries.

  • Yeah!

  • His 2009 single 'Papers' sounds like a goat, apparently.

  • He beat Justin Timberlake in a bidding war to sign Justin Bieber, which was lucky.

  • 'OMG' is an acronym for 'Oh My God', not 'Oh My Gosh', like what Usher thinks it is.

  • In 2012 he released the really rather amazing 'Climax' which lovers of 'real' R&B enjoyed quite a bit.
