Usher says he's ready to be the new MJ
2010-11-29 17:10:00
Usher has revealed that he is under pressure to be the new Michael Jackson but insists he's ready to take the challenge.
The 'Pop Ya Collar' singer says he feels there is something missing in the music world following the 'Thriller' star's tragic death last June but he is happy to fulfill the void.
"You know, we lost Michael Jackson. A lot of pressure is on me and I don't mind taking it," Contactmusic.com quoted him as saying.
In a bid to become like Jackson, Usher is planning a spectacular tour next year and says it's something the 'King of Pop' himself would have been proud of.
"I wanted to make sure that you get that type of experience that leaves you saying, 'OMG'," he told the Daily Star newspaper.
"The impression that I would like to leave is that this guy is really stepping it up to a level where people can hopefully compare me to people like Michael Jackson.
"I basically tear myself apart emotionally, energetically, connecting with you and making sure that you enjoy this moment," he said.
Jackson died of acute Propofol intoxication aged 50 in June 2009, just days before he was due to start a historic 50-night residency at London's O2 Arena. (ANI)

Obviously, he wants to get attention

We don't need another MJ..do you remember what LaToya said when asked about who she thinks could "replace" MJ (or something in that sense) and she replied: "there might not be such need". LOL, indeed <!-- s;) -->;)<!-- s;) -->
If not dont believe what you read.
Absolutely...needs to be checked, it doesn't sound like Usher..but you never know, I get the feeling he's overly self-confident lately <!-- s:roll: -->:roll:<!-- s:roll: -->
Me too.. it's almost like.. now that the real threat is 'gone'..people will notice him... HA!
There will never be anyone like MJ, so don't patronize the fans by even using your name in the same sentence....
Get your own planet Usher.. This ones already named MJEarth.
Usher really disgusting me !
What a friend he is ! He is like stabbing michael in the back
Really, i'm really sorry for michael to have friend like him <!-- s:x -->:x<!-- s:x -->
michael is too kind that always make people took him for granted <!-- s --><!-- s -->
Yeah! <!-- s --><!-- s --> <!-- s --><!-- s --> <!-- s --><!-- s -->
I agree...Usher never struck me as someone this vain. He idolized Michael...and to make the statement he could BE the next Michael seems off tilt <!-- s:? -->:?<!-- s:? -->
What's next? a war between Usher and Chris Brown as to who will be the next "Michael" 8-)
Just like when Will.I.Am and Akon went "toe-to-toe" over Michael's music.....this must be a publicity stunt by Usher....it's too ridiculous and obvious to be otherwise. <!-- s --><!-- s -->
I agree, there will never be another Michael Jackson and no one will ever be able to fill his shoes no matter how hard they try. Artist's need to be themselves and strive for their own uniqueness because any imitation of MJ is going to be just that - an imitation. There is nothing wrong with being inspired by someone else but don't try to be that person. Someone who is genuinely talented should be able to make their own impact.
Agree with you. Usher would not say that he can be the next MJ..MJ was more than just a great entertainer and those are shoes that will sad to say will never be filled completely...they would need a pure soul for # 1 <!-- s;) -->;)<!-- s;) -->
There will never be another Michael Jackson, no matter how hard people try to dance like him, sing like him, be like him. Usher always looks too stiff and dances too heavy to even come close to Michael's amazing, gliding, angel like, and beat driven moves.
Usher....you may rock, but you will never be like the King of Pop! <!-- s --><!-- s -->
Jep, sorry Usher. Keep on dreaming if you want.
