Usher: C. Breezy is the Next Me
Posted by Bossip Staff
Usher thinks he paved the way for young talent:
Usher has hailed fellow singer Chris Brown as a younger version of himself – insisting the star will “follow the same path”. Usher, 29, was just 15 when he released his self-titled debut album in 1994 and has gone on to forge a highly successful music career. And Usher is convinced Brown, 19, is all set to follow in his footsteps and dominate the R&B scene.
He says, “All of this young energy is great for the industry. Chris is the guy who dances and sings, which is a lot like I do and did as a young artist as well. If time serves us correctly, and artists are continuing to better themselves, then hopefully he’ll follow the same path that I did.”
Wait a minute, last time we checked ALL these little niccas dancing around singing on the stage jacked Michael Jackson for his style.

1st
and he goddamn right chris brown is a young ursh
i applaud Usher for saying that-although this is sorta a back-hand compliment.. most artists do not give others credit..& yes they all are copys of MJ
Since when is Chris 19?
usher is so mature thats sexi!, and he is right, but bossip is right too dancing r&b singers didnt start with usher
top 10 is ok with me
AS LONG AS HE DON’T MARRY WHAT YOU DID!!!
That is very generous of Usher. The fact is Usher can actually sing and Chris….not so much.
Michael stole it from James Brown and made it mainstream.
Just about everyone stole something from James Brown, actually…
lmaooo loolol
actually James Brown was the pioneer..Michael Jackson is the protege’ and Usher and Chris Breezy are copies
LOL…well I can believe it.
RIP James Brown
Yea they better give that credit to James Brown then MJ
I love Chris Brown! you hot young thing! come to mama- I’ll show you more love than ri Ri!
I hope the path doesnt include a 40+ year old mother of four in his grill.
Michael got some moves from James but there was many things that he did that James did not. Michael had his own identity, stop the madness. You can’t look at these young guys and not see Michael. You can look at these youngs guys an not James. They ALL (including Usher) copy Michael vides, dance moves, clothes…the whole nine.
Usher did not start singing and dancing so he needs to sit down. He is always talking slick about the younger boys. He was a clone of Bobby Brown, then eventually starting dubbing Michael Jackson.
Damn, Usher almost 30….Has it been that long?
the vest in the stripes, ya dig! ush stuff be krisp.his tailor fitted that one well. i gotta get the t.i. “fire” off on the luv in the club track. why home seem kinda tiny compared to c.b.
At 1st when Ush made that comment on 106 like he was runnin’ thangs, I thought he was just bein’ a *****y *****, but you really can see where Chris looks up to Usher, and Chris is not 19, until May 5, get ur biz right, and get off my boy Chris, he can sing damnit!
I DON’T BELIEVE THAT CHRIS BROWN IS ALL THE WAY THERE LIKE USHER IS! I MEAN..USHER HAS HAD SOME HITS! I CAN’T LIE..I LIKE USHER *****..WHEN HE FIRST CAME OUT! HE WAS 14! CAN U GET WITH IT..THAT WAS MY *****! ON EVERY ALBUM HE HAS HAD SOME HITS! SO….CHRIS HAS SOME CATCHING UP TO DO! USHER, JUST WILL BE 30..HE NEED TO STOP ACTING LIKE HE IS UP THERE WITH UMM WLL DOWNING!!
@ Wenzel: You’s a fool for dat one…
Breezy ain’t no Usher and ain’t ever gonna be no Usher. Period. N*gga can’t even sing for Chrissakes. Usher disrespected himself with that comment…
Bossip, get serious! Usher does NOT think HE paved the way for young talent. Those were your words not his.
He’s merely saying that as a singer/dancer his career will be a long one and a successful one. Usher always, always talks about his love and respect for Otis Redding, Mike Jack, and James Brown.
that should be under a HOE SIT DOWN. Usher you aint a legend yet.
I still remember when Usher did not like being compared to Mario or Chris Brown, what happened?
@ Homomafia
He got older and more mature..so he’s coming to terms and realizes that his time has come and gone and thats its time for him to p***** the baton.
He actually looking washed up lately.. He need to get away from that broad he with.
OMG LOL
@DOC
i agree usher is not a legend yet because he is a bad example with very bad choices in love *****ody wants to cop that way of life
he needs guidance he needs help right about now he needs to sort out his romance because it is gettingin the way of his great potential career
he should be hooking up with the baddest the best and the HOTTEST in the business given the state of his last album it should nt be a problem but he does a duet with women MARY, Beyonce, they are fighting amongst themselves trying to keep a titlt he should not have that beef around him as an artist who has no need to become a brand name it lowers his image
WHY not MEN but MRS indoors won’t let him make those choice from fear of reprisals
which means he is the next kelly rowland bad advice from everyone around him a career flopping exercise somebody is giving him some bad advice and that same person probably told him to get hitch to that battle axe just to get him out of the way to make way for someone else
no wonder he is mad at chris brown and has to clam down with this statement just to make his image look undisturbed he is losing his swagger fast
Usher you need a D.I.V.O.R.C.E. and find yourself a supportive woman. your wife might be sleeping with your rival.You have no loyalty on your team.Are you even that kids daddy
who does not hear must feel the pain
if you refuse to take note
then be prepared to take the consequences of your actions
Usher you are not safe your always one step away from failure
I feel sorry for Usher…excuse me Ur-sher Raymond.
When you start talking and stop performing you have a problem.
*****ody needs props from anybody and he knows he’s not making love to anybody in the club.
I have 2 words for everybody…Madonna & Prince.
They are going to die on the stage and the fans are going to love it.
USHER FACE LOOKS LIKE HES A HATER AT HEART
@ Brooklyn…
No, he’s little at heart, lol. They’re all midgets.
@ bossip or the person that wrote this new:
Wait a minute, last time we checked ALL these little niccas dancing around singing on the stage jacked
____________________________________________________
i was wondering what does the NICCAS mean: i have never seen that word in my life ….explain
google it lol.
No one wants to be you, Usher, puh-lease. Not now anyway…maybe back in 8701 days that would have been a compliment to Chris, but he is far beyond talented in dancing (better than Usher). He should keep doing what HE is doing and follow HIS OWN path.
usher you are sweet kid
i just wish you would have marry someone beside
that beat up old lady
yea bossip
what does NICCA means
I’m sorry, but Usher put out 1 1/2 hot albums. He did not pave the way for Chris Brown.
Usher you cooked son. That means ya done family cuz I just heard da remix and now u begging 4 Jigga’s ***** while Lil’ Wayne serenading u with a song he jacked from Janet? Hoe Sit Down
Chris ain’t the next Usher, he’s the first Chris! U can have Ne-yold, Justin Timberlake and his redundant ***** moves that he jacked from u. Or are u jacking from him? Either way the wackness must cease. Stay yo ***** out of the club and raise that damn basketball team u and Tameka got. Sing about some grown man *****. Ya diiiiigggg!
This should have been a “Who looks more banging” post… That would be Chris Brown of course. Chris is so fine!
What does nicca mean bossip… *****.
Bossip I heard that this blog is white owned. Don’t make me stop coming here.
@ jjj
i have been trying to post what the word means
but bossip wont post my comments
***** bossip
The only reason Usher said that is make himself look good while at the same time, always finding a way to pat his own self on the back! Usher is the most *****iest, selfish ***** *****a on the planet…he ain’t changed…smh Usher just knows that he has an album to sell and he is doing and saying anything to make sure that happens. He knows that no matter what he says or does, yall are going buy into his bull shyt anyway. I hope Chris turns out to be nothin like Usher at all. I hope he becomes bigger and even better than that *****y *****! Y’all don’t think Usher reads blogs?? Obviously, he reads them. He knows people think he never says anything nice about the “younger talent” now a days. So he went and decided he would “say something nice” to make yall think he’s not like that.
I remember when they had Usher’s dumb ***** on 106 and Park back when he was in that play “Chicago” and they asked how did he feel about the state of R&B and he laughed and brushed it off as if to say everybody sucks or something and he wanted to make it seem like everybody was copying him. Usher has some nerve because none of Usher moves are orginal either. If Usher is 4real, why didn’t he take the opprtunity to give props to Chris Brown back then instead of making those smart ***** remarks?? Usher gets on my nerves with his bull shyt!
they all look like Michael Jackson 2 me but they holdin it down
i have to kind of disagree with my boy ush cause when he was 19 he popped up with an album that sold 6 million. for him to say chris brown is the next him is a total down grade i guess ush was being nice. chris brown does his thing when he’s dancing but homie doesn’t do anything where you can look at him and say oh thats chris brown’s move. chris brown is just dyck riding michael jackson’s moves. and as for usher ne-yo is tryna be the next usher.. i give usher props though cause homie did jock michael for a sec but he got off his ***** and created a trend of his own. chris brown ain’t ready. he’s doing what 70% of american can do. he dance and he sings there’s a lot of people out there that can do this. the homie just don’t stand out to me.. i don’t see any true talent where its like word homie is like that. usher think before you speak next time lol.. real talk
I think Usher’s comment was not a compliment. You don’t compliment someone by saying they’re just like you, duh! If he wanted to say something nice, all he would have had to say was, yeah Chris Brown is doing his thing…that’s it! He knows he has to say SOMETHING about Chris because like it or not, he’s the hottest cat in the game right now, and Usher is an old, married-man, and that’s never a good look, no matter how hot your single is…Sorry Ush, make this album the last and focus on grown-folks music like that legend in the game Prince! LOL
people are so negative haha. all Usher is saying is that Chris is next in that line of male singing and dancing superstars like himself.
yes Michael was the first to do the singing and dancing but they all have different styles, so Chris is actually doing his own thing and the youngsters should be thanking him
I need at least one of them in my bed, matter of fact both…
Um I’m sorry but did we all forget that James Brown was the original that EVERYBODY (including Mike)copied from?
James Brown had his own style as well, his dancing was way different from what they are doing now, I think it was called sliding and stroking or something anyway they all are different
James brown who Michael Jackson obviously emulated, but Michael jackson PAVED the way for the young black talent that followed after. We all wanted to sing and dance like MJ, we all wanted to moonwalk and not to mention Wacko was the first black music video to be screened on MTV….lets face it the dude was a blockbuster. Now we just need that jordin to come on tv and admit his father was soley after wackos money!
Chris Browns music is better than ushers, I am 30 ishes..and I can play C.Browns music (and forget about his age)All his tunes have a good beat, and he dances in this unique way it is like another dimension?
Puh-lease Ursh! Michael Jackson set that standard before you were even a twinkle in your daddy’s eye! You get credit for doing your thang but let’s get the facts straight …
Chirs Brown is 18 years old not 19
I’d just like to say that Chris Brown can get it…anytime…anyday. lol
Uh-shuh needs to go sit his ***** down somewhere. Chris is not following his shabby *****. Who wants to follow his silly ***** besides Tomeka?!? We need someone to lead; not follow as he proved when he married beneath himself (which was hard to do!) ROTFLMAO
chris ugly brown is wakkk he aint no damn usher if anything ne yo is…….
shut the ***** up all you haters of usher you suck. you don’t know a single thing about usher acting like you know usher. michael jackson is pop theres a difference. usher been here since 1991 when he was 13 doing he’s thing on star search. usher started before a lot of artists. before people use to think that for a rnb singer and dancer that was croony and uncool but when usher it doesn’t meen he has a *****iness it meens he knows how to dance and he made a change of that and showing it’s ok for a rnb singer and dancer to sing and dance at the same time. you people can go youtube and see for yourselve and write usher’s live performacne, lecacy, impact, favorite songs, sex appeal. chris brown said that usher had a big influence and said that looking at usher from the past and that usher is still doing his thing. all you stupid people chris brown idol is usher and his dance influence
