    @ Branden, it's not because of that song "we belong together" that people already forgot about, you would prefer mariah to take the title instead of usher, your whoriah scary is just a has been but a boring great singer too.

    He ruled the show with hits like U got it bad, Burn, My Boo, U Don't have to call, Yeah (#1 song of decade, lasted for 15 weeks at #1) as the biggest songs of 2000-2009. Nobody has beat Usher on Top mainstream artist, Artist with Most #1 songs, Hot 100 artist of the decade, Rnb Artist of the decade, Rnb artist with most #1's, etc and the list of massive billboard honors/awards he won. Mariah, Beyonce, Britney, Nelly, T.I, Sean Paul, Eminem, etc. did not outclass Usher at all last decade. He is the final man to have an album like Confessions sell over 25 million records worldwide and to go Diamond when every other artist failed miserably in sales after Usher. Not one artist will ever be able to sell over 10 million records in U.S alone ever again. He should be given a award which proves that. Anyway his new album on March 30th will be terrific. U r always my hero Usher, nobody will ever take ur spot ever.

    Usher is not a bad role model. Everyone likes Usher, stop hating. If you don't like Usher, don't say anything at all. Stop bashing him.

  7. Branden says:

    Mariah Carey Deserved it more! No One Like Usher.. He Is Such A Bad Role Model Now. He Would Rather Be A PLayboy instead of being married!
