== PoeticMain JusticeImage ==

Young Usher also had a song at the soundtrack for movie "Poetic Justice"(with 2Pac and Janet Jackson). It should be added.[[User:Dzoni|Dzoni]] 16:37, 22 April 2006 (UTC)

Is there a better main image for Usher to use on top? The current one doesn't have both eyes facing the same way. Is that just his face?

:Well, what song was it? {{unsigned|68.145.57.166}}

::According to the [http://music.aol.com/archive/accessiblearchive.adp AOL Music Archive], it's called "Call Me a Mack". Other than that I have no further details. --[[User:AndreniW|AndreniW]] 22:59, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

== Personal life ==

== "this was the Fall of the House of Usher." is vandalism ==

There should be more about Usher's personal life, I believe. Except for a little something about his youth, there is not much info. I wanted to know if the song 'Confessions' was real or not, but I can't find it here.--[[User:Soetermans|Soetermans]] 07:49, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

@[[User:98selitb|98selitb]] appears to be making a joke by referencing an unrelated show here [[Special:Contributions/75.8.100.149|75.8.100.149]] ([[User talk:75.8.100.149|talk]]) 09:03, 14 February 2024 (UTC)

:Me too. I always wondered if it was real and he really had a kid or not.

== Public Image & Impact ==

::My thoughts exactly.--[[User:Soetermans|Soetermans]] 08:37, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

I think the section Public Image completely violates [[WP: PUFFERY]] & [[WP:NPOV]] with its unencyclopedic content about Usher having "the sexiest abs". The impact section also has some problems, being redundant, it seems like it needs a serious trim to the fluff as well [[User:DollysOnMyMind|DollysOnMyMind]] ([[User talk:DollysOnMyMind|talk]]) 09:46, 26 February 2024 (UTC)

== Location ==

== Semiprotected edit request ==

why is this at [[Usher (entertainer)]] instead of [[Usher (artist)]] or [[Usher (singer)]] ?? if there is no (reasonable) objection then i will move it.. (or someone else can..) <nowiki>~</nowiki>[[User:Bungalowbill|Bungalowbill]]

{{Edit semi-protected|answered=y}}

He is also a dancer and an actor.Therefore an entertainer.

::Thanks. Combs is mentioned (once, in passing) in the body, but the idea that he was a “mentor” is not. [[Special:Contributions/100.36.106.199|100.36.106.199]] ([[User talk:100.36.106.199|talk]]) 13:40, 23 November 2024 (UTC)
