Vocal Type: Spinto tenor with substantial heldentenor capabilities and a vocal range spanning over 3 octaves (approx. A2-Bb5).
Vocal Strengths: Throughout Usher's wide range, his
vocals ooze raw, unadulterated sexual energy and passion. His vocals are
rich, creamy and smooth, boasting unwavering fluidity. Maintains
crystal clear clarity in the highest reaches of his falsetto ("Burn"),
all the while never sacrificing diction. His low notes are thick and
chocolatey, his chest belts are powerful and his head voice is
impressively supple even when hitting high G5's. Usher is Beyonce's
counterpart in terms of being able to dance full-out and sing well at the same time. The vocal maven of contemporary pop and R&B.
Vocal Weaknesses: With trends in music ever
evolving, Usher gingerly hopped on the euro-pop bandwagon seeking hollow
No. 1s, but unfortunately lost his soul in the process. Most
of Usher's singles released after Tameka-gate feature uninterestingly
dull vocals atop generic house beats. His voice no longer has that
spark. Some sound advice for the entertainer would be to stay away from
anything produced by David Guetta, RedOne, or their ilk — their
artificial productions kill all traces of soul in his voice.
