Killer voice? Check. Killer smile? Check. Killer abs? Check. The 4th season of ‘The Voice’ premiered with the addition of Shakira and Usher — and I must say, bravo producers, because Usher is a GENIUS choice!
After multiple Grammy awards and platinum albums, Usher, 34, has decided to take on a new venture: television. And it definitely suits him. Usher’s amazing talent paired with his awesome mentoring skills (hello, Justin Bieber!) make him the perfect choice for the job of judge on NBC’s The Voice. After watching Usher on the March 25 episode of The Voice, it’s appalling it took producers this long to add him to the show!
One of my favorite things about Usher is his ability to remain relevant over such a long period of time. Usher first hit the scene in 1997 when he released his single “You Make Me Wanna…” Since then, he has adapted to the changes in the music industry and continued to crank out major hits like “Yeah!” and “OMG.” Not only is Usher an insanely talented R&B artist, he also has a great business mind that will be a major advantage to any of his team members.
Physically, Usher is obviously the perfect person to grace our television screens for two hours two nights a week (swoon), but his personality is what makes him such a joy to watch on the show. His charm paired with his sweet demeanor are irresistible and will have everyone on their couch rooting for his team. After one of the contestants sang her heart out, Usher assured her that not only would she win The Voice, but she would also ”win the world over.” If only Usher would say that to all of us.
The point of The Voice is for well established artists to take on aspiring singers and mentor them into being successful artists. Obviously, Usher already has amazing experience in molding and mentoring artists because he is responsible for introducing us to the Biebs! Usher was the one who discovered Justin and has guided him throughout his journey to the top. Any contestant Usher chooses on The Voice is guaranteed to have a bright future ahead of them.
There are millions more reasons why Usher is amazing, but you already know that. Usher has already proven to be an excellent addition to The Voice and I cannot wait to see what he brings this season!
