Usher (or Ursher, as some people refer to him) is, in my opinion, exactly as famous as he should be. He has a nice voice, but that's about all it is. "Nice." Silky smooth, but not really anything earth-shattering. Yet I actually like (okay, love) every Usher song I've ever heard. The man is incapable of releasing anything less than a jam. Even "Yeah," which annoyed me with its ubiquity way back in 2004, is still pretty solid.
That being said, here's something embarrassing. Do you remember the Usher/Alicia Keys collaboration "My Boo"? What's that? You don't? How could you forget a white-hot collab between two musical superstars? Probably because it wasn't very good. This song is pretty awful, but it is ALWAYS stuck in my head. I'm not really exaggerating. There's a constant voice that drones, "I don't know about y'all, but I know 'bout us," in the back of my head as I go about my daily tasks. And you'd be surprised how often the word "Boo" is brought up in normal conversation, once again bringing the haunting (ha) melody back to me. Enjoy.

my OH, my oh, my oh, my oh, my booooo....
you couldn't be more wrong about this one. i've put this song on multiple playlists. i love that because "usher" gave "alicia keys" her first kiss, he now owns her for life. it reminds me of disney movies. i mean, she was so pure that usher had to teach her the proper lip position?

I found a mashup of my two favorite boo songs.
I should've known you'd remember My Boo, Lauren. And, yeah, he owns her for life, even though "another brother's taken over." Creepiest wording ever.
And I COMPLETELY forgot about that Nelly/Kelly collaboration. Geez.
