Usher has sold over 170 million ACTUAL combined albums and songs worldwide. Usher is tied with fellow music LEGENDS ELTON JOHN and PAUL MCCARTHY with 9 Billboard Hot 100 #1's. Usher is tied with fellow music LEGENDS MICHAEL JACKSON and MARVIN GAYE with 13 R&B and hip-hop #1's. Usher is the male R&B artist with the most R&B chart #1's with 15. Usher is hands down the most successful and awarded male R&B/Pop artist since Michael Jackson and he's also the most versatile and talented male singer/entertainer since Michael Jackson.
Usher's voice gets better with age and experience. His voice is so smooth and crisp. This was definitely one of the best NPR Tiny Desk . This was a very good analysis.
@@aleialaw I wish it was longer too hopefully Usher goes back on NPR Timy Desk again and perform some songs he didn't on the last one like U Got it Bad, U remind me, Here I Stand, Tell me and Climax.
I so enjoyed your review of Usher’s Tiny Desk concert. I’m a speech pathology graduate student and you taught me more in 10 minutes than I learned all last semester in Speech Science! You made the vocal tract, source filter, and VF body cover come alive. Appreciate the lesson and awesome review.
All of the Tiny Desk Concerts are always good but this is one of the best ones yet. The vocals, arrangements, the band, Eric Bellinger, whew....Usher SCHOOLED these youngins.💯🙌😌🤩💜
I’m with you I definitely LOVE the arrangements on the songs!!!! It’s talks of him and Chris Brown doing a verzuz but I think Usher should do a solo one like D’Angelo did and have special guests that he’s done songs with. Verzuz should start a series similar to how MTV did Unplugged🔥 Cause this 20 something minute NPR wasn’t enough 😩😩😩 And shouts out to Vedo and Eric on the background vocals 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
Yessss ....I learned so much from your analysis here...what a difference experience makes with some vocalists...Usher seems so confident and intentional as you say, yet having fun too. Thanks for this!
It was such a treat watch Usher manipulate his sound. for the tinydesk concert I feel he took advantage of the "tiny" space of the NPR offices , shaped his arrangements to the space,, and served up an eclectric jazzy, bluesy, scatt situation. And can we take about the the horn section???? Horns X Usher scat=ear candy!!
You definitely are a blessed talent your self. Offering so much details to voice. It really is beautiful and add color and understanding to speech/voice. Thank you for that. 🤗🫶🏽
I teach voice as well. Usher has that "singing" talking voice. I've done some background with him and his diaphragm engagement even when he's speaking is breath control GOALS 🤌🏾🙌🏾 I loved the Tiny Desk.
You better break this thing down! We really have to appreciate Usher's growth. I remember when he wasn't able to sing and dance at the same time...now he is out here in Vegas on rollers skates singing DOWN!....I Love all of this!
what drew me to usher are the very things you've pointed out he does in this tiny desk; the way he goes in and out from head to chest voice and this rhythm he has where he is coasting with the lyric and the note then he suddenly goes up or goes faint or certain words. He's a very entertaining vocalist. Like the entertainment is in his voice. This is probably my 2nd or 3rd time watching his Tiny Desk. Can you review Monica's Tiny Desk? I'd be curious your thoughts.
This is why I am a proud fan of your channel. You really analyse the vocals and why it sounds so pleasant to us because of what the artist is doing and you educate too. You are using your gift so well. God has truly blessed you. Thank you
Usher gave LYFE on this one!! Brilliant! Jaron, I love that you're a teacher, and clearly a student, studying and breaking down these voices and techniques!
This was a great Tiny Desk Concert. I love how you educate us on the technical aspect of the vocal in every video. Side note: Usher would play Marvin Gaye very well in a biopic.
Your analysis of this was dope‼️ USHER is a very talented singer and one who takes his voice and his instrument very seriously. He knows and values his gift you gonna always feel his power and his growth too. The whole tiny desk brand to me shows you the truth about any of or favorite artist and this man deserves his flowers now he’s earned his legendary status‼️‼️🥀🥀🥀🥀
This NPR WAS EVERYTHING you would expect from a LIVE Usher Performance! I really like how he didn't go into full studio voice mode to keep the cadence with Vito and Bellinger in the background, which highlighted their talents more as well!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
@Jaron, simply put, you are a maestro, divine innovator of vocal stuff and thangs, and you capture the science of performance. We love you. And Usher is a vocal Beast.
Usher has always been my BOO!!! He is GREAT at making everything look effortless. His "commercial sound" is really beneath him and he really can do so much more like Gospel, for sure Jazz etc but instead he does what he knows is expected of him and will sale. As a supporter of all things Usher I want to hear EVERYTHING and I am buying it!!! He is 43 now a true supporter should expect him to evolve .
Even this jazz mellow verse is EVERYTHANG!! I LOVE THIS!! The accompaniment band background it just flows melodically!! Another great Analysis Mr J!! 🫡
this was the absolute highlight of my day; i actually sat and waited in the chat for it come on which is a never for me. having vedo and eric b. was astonishing ❤️🔥
DOPE Video as ALWAYS. His false is/was crazy too. You are gifted, passionate and articulate with regarding vocal analysis. Wishing you all the best good brother!!!
Great review this my first time seeing this and it's on point Usher voice is beautiful he is definitely the king of nuances and I agree his voice is so clear and he still sounds the same he's even better with age in my opinion. Good to see he's taking care of his voice after all these years in the game.
Thoroughly enjoyed this because I love Usher but also because you precisely broke down the techniques and approaches to his singing. Super helpful to myself as I'm on this vocal journey. Thank you for being you.
Usher is continuing to let the world know that he is still here. The real artist know how to keep reinventing themselves to stay relevant. Usher makes me want to skate and go see him in Vegas.
Usher showed us why he is one of one when it comes to that debate of who’s the King of R&B!!! Vocally he is THAT GUY. This tiny desk was amazing from his vocals, background singers, shoutout to Eric Bellinger and Vedo and his entire band played every song so damn good!
I love it! And love the way you are teaching. I would really like to be able to do the hills and valleys. I struggles with that. I'm learning, listening to you. I love me some Usher!!! His singing is really amazing
Let me start off by saying I love the fact that you upload these vids and the artist killing it in all the ones I’ve watched thus far. I want to give you your props for the way you analyze the vids it’s so informative you are amazing keep them coming!!!!!
Brother Jaron, I mean this in the most flattering way possible: I have no idea what you just said. Seriously. That breakdown was fitting of a master class performance from Usher. Bravo!
The way Usher, understands & utilizes his range, voice, arrangements, band/backups etc is incredible!👍🏿

And yet people say r Kelly is the greatest rnb artist of all time smh
This TINY DESK was everything!
Yeah it was! So lit!
EVERYTHING!!!
YAASSSS! Everything!
Facts
It truly was everything 😮💨🥹
Usher fully understood the assignment, expected nothing less than pure excellence from him. Shout out to his amazing band, they were 🔥!
I like how he took "You Make Me Wanna" into a jazzy, almost Marvin Gaye kind of situation...very nice. now lemme finish watching...
Yessssssss.
The nice & slow rendition was beautiful too. I ❤️ usher.
I just watched it and said he needs to upload that version, cause I will buy it so quick!
You nailed it! It is soo Marvin Gaye!!!
I had Marvin flashbacks too
Usher's voice gets better with age and experience. His voice is so smooth and crisp. This was definitely one of the best NPR Tiny Desk . This was a very good analysis.
Thank you!
I want to see a mini review of the ray j Mario versus
@@jmlegrairstudio You're welcome.
It was way too short though!!!!
@@aleialaw I wish it was longer too hopefully Usher goes back on NPR Timy Desk again and perform some songs he didn't on the last one like U Got it Bad, U remind me, Here I Stand, Tell me and Climax.
Your articulation, and choice of words to describe the voice is just so beautiful to my ears.
🙏🏾 thank you!
He killed "Superstar" one of my faves 😍
He put his foot ALL the way in Superstar
Yes indeed!
Omgggg yes I was shaking
KILLED IT!
Superstar might be my fav Usher song
I love how Usher sings all the letters of his words. Very clear and smooth delivery.
yes
Yes. His articulation is top tier.
I love how he matured these songs. It was an amazing set.
That band arrangement is a beast
Facts 💯
Stayed in the pocket with it....
YES!!!

He matured the song to match his voice. To many artist try to keep the same original sound.
Usher is right on time! His voice honestly gets better with age
All of the Tiny Desk Concerts are always good but this is one of the best ones yet. The vocals, arrangements, the band, Eric Bellinger, whew....Usher SCHOOLED these youngins.💯🙌😌🤩💜
He did a perfect performance for Tiny Desk and it was still a 10 with those changes. That's URSHER you know!!!
I’m with you I definitely LOVE the arrangements on the songs!!!! It’s talks of him and Chris Brown doing a verzuz but I think Usher should do a solo one like D’Angelo did and have special guests that he’s done songs with. Verzuz should start a series similar to how MTV did Unplugged🔥 Cause this 20 something minute NPR wasn’t enough 😩😩😩
And shouts out to Vedo and Eric on the background vocals 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
Absolutely 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
I totally agree
Yes I agree
I agree as well Usher and Friends !💯🔥😊
Chris don’t want the business!!!
Usher has revived me back into his music with this awesome tiny desk performance
I saw you, I saw Usher and I clicked so fast.
This Tiny Desk is everything and the way he re-imagined the musicality of these songs ... phew!!
Jaron, please do a video on vocal longevity. (Usher, Brandy and others seem to have it. But there are a lot of others that have been caught slipping.)
You did this fast! One of my fav tiny desks. Love that Eric bellinger was there too, it’s Eazy!
I told you I was “on call” for this. 🤣🙏🏾
@@jmlegrairstudio would u review Stout w/Cory Henry?
ruclips.net/video/xQV_0z1Bf_I/видео.html
As a singer, I just love this! Thank you for such a beautiful break down.
🙏🏾🙏🏾🖤🖤
Yesss I was thoroughly impressed by his control and tone. That man is HIM.
He really is HIM!!!
SINGGGG USHER🔥🔥🔥 I love this ENTIRE ARRANGEMENT. I think I’ve think this was a phenomenal analysis brother! Your breakdown was spot on!!
Thank you so muuuuuch. ✊🏾🙏🏾
@@jmlegrairstudio you are so knowledgeable ... new sub🌹
Yessss ....I learned so much from your analysis here...what a difference experience makes with some vocalists...Usher seems so confident and intentional as you say, yet having fun too. Thanks for this!
🤩🙏🏾
Usher us literally one of my favorite male vocalist. So clean , so consistent and so colorful w his tones. 🔥‼️
Usher definitely flexed for these younger gens vocally. He’s def maintained his instrument.
The Tiny desk concert was way overdue & well appreciated 🔥🥰 Usher can sing✨🎶
It was such a treat watch Usher manipulate his sound. for the tinydesk concert I feel he took advantage of the "tiny" space of the NPR offices , shaped his arrangements to the space,, and served up an eclectric jazzy, bluesy, scatt situation.

This was a great Tiny Desk Concert. I love how you educate us on the technical aspect of the vocal in every video. Side note: Usher would play Marvin Gaye very well in a biopic.
He’s masterful at being intentional with everything he sings. I always enjoy him.
I added the timestamps on his tiny desk concert with you in mind! 😆
His background singers/band didn't disappoint either
Did you?? 🤣 I appreciate that! Because I was just a-scrolling.
5:07 is an example of why your analysis is so awesome.

I truly enjoyed Usher’s Tiny Desk! I wish it was longer! Lol!
Usher is the truth and the timing of this (after the Verzuz debacle) is perfect, RnB Masterclass ❤️
I cannot believe how good this Tiny Desk was! Made me so happy sounds just to hear it. Took me right back to where I was when I heard each song.
LOVE this content but sir you knowwww you should have started with the amazingness that is SUPERSTAR! LOLOL
I'm so glad you did this and SO FAST! This Tiny Desk was so AMAZING!
🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
@Jaron, simply put, you are a maestro, divine innovator of vocal stuff and thangs, and you capture the science of performance. We love you. And Usher is a vocal Beast.
Loved Usher's performance🥰. Monica also did a Tiny Desk session. Her's was amazing also. Please analyze that.
Check out El DeBarge's Tiny Desk Concert from earlier this year. He's 60 now, but can still hit those notes!
Loved El’s Tiny Desk!
I wish he did it with a band, and background
Honey El showed out!! His voice sounded just like I remember when I heard it on record!!!! I love Usher!!!
I appreciate how you can reveal the subtleties in this and other vocal performances. Very educational and helpful!
Usher is the real King of R&B
Lol, love him but not
USHER understood the Assignment!! 💐💐
Usher is that man a true singer
I watched usher tiny desk a few times it was amazing the growth and the vibes I was in love with him all over again
I love Usher voice doesn’t change from his speaking voice, it’s almost like he’s talking but it’s singing if that makes sense lol
I love your analysis of this performance!!!
This is my favorite. Usher vocal choices on this one was so perfect and intentional. Almost sound rehearsed but feels improvised.
You gotta do Dru Hill doing Beauty on the Bounce TV Trumpet awards. Would love to hear your take on Jazz's vocal choices.
Usher was actually the reason I started preferring R&B over everything back in the 90s
We need you to analyze that whole set! It was so good!❤️
I really enjoyed this jazzy version of this song. Usher is amazing.
Usher has always been my BOO!!! He is GREAT at making everything look effortless. His "commercial sound" is really beneath him and he really can do so much more like Gospel, for sure Jazz etc but instead he does what he knows is expected of him and will sale.

Usher & His Band Was Totally On Point With Their NPR Performance From Beginning 2 End 💜💯🎗️💫🆒🌎🙏.
2 words...that band. Mane! They were like butter on warm grits! (with sugar) Full, lush, soulful...in that pocket!
Yes with salt 😁
Greatest vocals, Incredible voice, Usher!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My soul's singer.
Even this jazz mellow verse is EVERYTHANG!! I LOVE THIS!! The accompaniment band background it just flows melodically!! Another great Analysis Mr J!! 🫡
I’ve watched the tiny desk about 4 times already 😭
this was the absolute highlight of my day; i actually sat and waited in the chat for it come on which is a never for me.
having vedo and eric b. was astonishing ❤️🔥
DOPE Video as ALWAYS. His false is/was crazy too. You are gifted, passionate and articulate with regarding vocal analysis. Wishing you all the best good brother!!!
Cmon vocabulary 😍 binge watching your channel & I love your perspective. Keep up the great work 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
P.s Can you be my vocal coach 😩
That performance was amazing!!

Good to see he's taking care of his voice after all these years in the game.
You definitely have to react to Monica’s Tiny Desk performance too!!! She killed it!!!
You should do Superstar with him and Eric bellinger
Usher said, "listen." He's a good story teller. There's really nothing the man can't do.
Thoroughly enjoyed this because I love Usher but also because you precisely broke down the techniques and approaches to his singing. Super helpful to myself as I'm on this vocal journey. Thank you for being you.
This one was so good! All of those nostalgic songs we love, he put such a grown up spin on them..❤❤❤ and can we get into the band!! Perfection!
It’s so effortless for him! 😍
His BGV’s are killing too. They were giving some great nuances.
Usher is continuing to let the world know that he is still here. The real artist know how to keep reinventing themselves to stay relevant. Usher makes me want to skate and go see him in Vegas.
Usher showed us why he is one of one when it comes to that debate of who’s the King of R&B!!!
Vocally he is THAT GUY.
This tiny desk was amazing from his vocals, background singers, shoutout to Eric Bellinger and Vedo and his entire band played every song so damn good!
That bridge was givin Marvin Gaye vibes
😍❤️😍❤️‼️
You make me want to sign up for a class with you to learn how to sing!! ❤️🙏🏾❤️
Cmon thru!
I love it! And love the way you are teaching. I would really like to be able to do the hills and valleys. I struggles with that. I'm learning, listening to you. I love me some Usher!!! His singing is really amazing
Yassss the arrangement is everything
VELVET would be how I describe Usher’s voice.
Let me start off by saying I love the fact that you upload these vids and the artist killing it in all the ones I’ve watched thus far. I want to give you your props for the way you analyze the vids it’s so informative you are amazing keep them coming!!!!!
