Usher

[Zmimb12]

So I went to his concert in Berlin yesterday and I am a bit divided over it.
I guess it depends what you want to see in a show. Of course Usher eases swagger and sex appeal like no one else, you can't deny that. Every look he gives, every move he makes, is just hot. He was shirtless a lot of the time and my seats were good enough to see a bit of that.
What was a little disappointing: He is such a great singer but he didn't sing much. Initially he just played some videos of his teen-self and watched them from the sideline which was a bit weird (of course I get that timeline idea, but it stopped the audience from going wild). Then most parts of his songs were playback, only rarely he showed his amazing voice which is still as strong and beautiful as ever.
Unfortunately he didn't play any of his songs completely - as soon as the crowd started going, the next song came up.
Then there was a really long break where his back-up-singers showed some vocals - great but no one paid for that
The cherry-feeding thing and the shirtless dancing in the VIP area (which was almost in front of me) were hot but about 20 minutes without him singing.
After the show I heard many people saying that especially the first half of the show was lacking which is what I also felt. Overall it was a good experience but not one of the best shows I have attended.

Ahh that is a shame that your experience wasn’t quite as good as you’d hoped. I have noticed that he has some days where he doesn’t go for it vocally and the energy isn’t 100%. He probably should’ve taken a longer break at some point in the last few years because he’s barely stopped performing and it seems like it’s caught up to him a little now and Europe definitely didn’t deserve to receive that because he’s not been here in so long! I think everyone agrees the cherry thing drags out lol. I hope there were aspects you enjoyed nonetheless

Unfortunately I think the AI thing has been a failure on all fronts. There are ways to convey the past and that’s just not it. However, it went over slightly better in the US because we actually KNEW the song he was playing (Think of You and Can U Get Wit It from his first album). I can’t imagine most German fans even knowing Usher released an album in 1994! I thought it was a weird addition as well and figured he would adjust for Europe but he didn’t.

As for the vocals, I noticed that at my show, there was playback as well but when he sang, you could tell the mic was on and he sounded good. Especially on the slower stuff. I think it’s just the nature of trying to preserve his voice. He’s 46 now and touring is so taxing on the voice and body. Usher doesn’t lip sync to pre-recorded vocals when he probably should, lmao. It would make things look more believable than just letting a track of his voice play.

The rate at which he goes from song to song (especially in the first half) is crazy lol. It’s a two hour show and some change. You gotta fit everything in but there are ways to make it more seamless.

Glad you went though and you got all the shirtless moments lol. Got any clips you wanna share?

Yup. I think it’s caught up with him which is why I cannot wait for it to end next week. Capitalism is why he had to strike while the iron was hot. In a perfect world, he would have delayed touring for a a year.

The cherry thing was a spur of the moment thing that caught on and he ran with it. It’s probably a way for him to rest as well lol.

Usher at the 2025 Met Gala

I know this isn't our typical shirtless and sweaty fare but Usher displayed a different type of sex appeal at last night's Met Gala. One that was smooth, debonair and polished. His skin, smile and smile made him one of the hottest men of the night. We also got some great close-ups of his big, strong and masculine hands.

I got to see Usher again for the closing night of the European Leg and this was my view when he came to the B-Stage . So grateful and the show was amazing again! His skin looks even better and smoother in person, handsome and sexy!

You. WON! Just as expected, he was even more ripped at the end of the tour compared to opening night. What a beautiful man.

Throwback Photos of Usher (Between ages 20 to 23)

Before he was a legend and referred to as the "King of R&B," he was just a Y2K hottie and of the industry's brightest young stars.

Also, I have a horny question Based on these pictures and other ones, which one of Usher's nipples do you think is bigger and pointier? The right or the left?

You've all responded the right one, but not sure, look at this :

That left nipple is pretty pointy too, maybe longer !

But to be sure, closer scrutinies would be necessary, with tools and close up pictures to compare and show results...

They’re both very pointy (lucky us lol) i think the angle the picture is taken from makes a difference because from a sideview you can see the pointedness a bit better than a front view.

I think a case could be made for either one!

Yes, you might be right ^^

I'd love to be able to make further researches to be factful, though
