At the age of 13, Usher was spotted at a talent contest and Signed to LaFace records, where he released his debut album, “Usher” in 1994. Despite many of the tracks being produced by Sean ‘P Diddy’ Combs, the album failed to make much of an impact on the American public.
Three years later, Usher released his second studio album “My Way” and secured his first number one hit in the UK with “You Make Me Wanna…”. Usher rose to fame in the US after the release of his breakthrough single “Nice & Slow”. Which ended up being certified six-times platinum in the US.
Usher’s following two albums “8701” and “Confessions” surpassed the success of “My Way” with multiple number one singles in the US including “U Remind Me”, “U Got it Bad”, “Yeah!”, “Burn”, Confessions Part II” and “My Boo”. The albums won him five of his eight Grammy Awards, and the 1.1 million initial sales of “Confessions” upon its release were the highest recorded for a male R&B artist.
With these successes and an enormous fan base under his belt, Usher had no problems getting his subsequent three albums, “Here I Stand”, “Raymond Vs. Raymond” and “Looking 4 Myself” to the number one spot in the US charts. Usher has toured extensively across the globe to promote his music and bring it live to his fans.
A huge Michael Jackson fan, Usher cites the King of Pop as his biggest influence, and was given the opportunity to perform at the legend’s funeral service in 2009. Taking after his hero, Usher’s style is distinct yet fresh, meaning that he is easily able to collaborate with other artists, and he does so frequently. Usher has worked with Beyoncé, Nicki Minaj, Ludacris, Pitbull, will.i.am and Lil Wayne amongst others.
A keen businessman and philanthropist in addition to his musical career, Usher is clearly a man who likes to work hard and give his all. His constant success is hard earned and long may it continue.
Christopher Maurice Brown was born in Tappahannock, Virginia, on May 5, 1989. His interest and education in music began, like many pop singers, through his involvement in his church choir. During his teenage years, his golden-boy sensibilities waned and his interest in the emerging R&B scene in the US took hold.
What makes Chris Brown’s music notable is his wide depth of talent. To some, he is a pop music legend, with upbeat tunes and energetic lyrics that make you want to dance. To others, he is an R&B legend, showcasing the soul and heart of his earliest musical influences. He also is known for his slow crooner style of music, which is showcased in songs like “Take You Down” and “Autumn Leaves.” In these songs, Brown demonstrates his ability to convey deep emotions through the slow use of melody and artfully seductive vocals.
Brown is most renowned for his incredible talent as a rapper. “Look at Me Now,” “Run It!,” and “Go Crazy” all showcase his knack for spitting out lines at wild speeds.
After moving to New York City, Brown was soon scouted by A&R executive Tina Davis and subsequently signed his first record deal with Jive Records, whose alumni include pop singers Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake, in 2004. His debut self-titled album, released the following year, reached No. 2 on the US Billboard charts and was soon certified double platinum.
The following years were nothing but a string of successes for Brown as he further dominated the charts with pop singles such as “Beautiful People,” “I Can Transform Ya,” and “Yeah x3.” To date, Chris Brown has released a total of twelve albums, with numerous albums winning notable awards.
One of Brown’s most decorated albums, F.A.M.E., went on to win the Album of the Year Award at the 2011 Soul Train Music Awards. Not only that, but shortly after the release of this album, Brown took home the highest number of awards ever given at the 2011 BET Hip Hop Awards. Other notable albums from Chris Brown include Fortune X; Fan of a Fan: The Album; Royalty; Heartbreak on a Full Moon; Indigo; Slime & B; and his latest release Breezy.
Brown has now certified himself as a staple of American pop and R&B music and remains a continued presence on the charts with both his own material and collaborations with artists such as Jordin Sparks, Lil’ Wayne, and David Guetta.

I remember seeing Usher in concert for the first time back in 2002. He was hot back then and he still is today. Although his main gig lately has been being a judge on The Voice, don't let that make you think he still doesn't have it. Take it from me, Usher's live performances are just as amazing as they were years ago. His good-looking body, charm, and talent pulls you in and you'll be hypnotized for the whole concert.
When he sings off of his old albums such as "Confessions" or "You Remind Me", you can't help but sing along. It's like time-travelling back to my college days, watching his videos on MTV or buying his CD's (wow, remember CD players?!). He really gives his performances his all, and it's quite obvious because before the first half of the concert is over, he is already sweating. When he dances like Michael Jackson, you see how talented he really is, he's not jut an incredible voice.
His stage setup isn't super distracting either. The most he has is huge video displays, stares, fire, and smoke. Although it's obvious everyone loves his old songs, when he starts with his latest ones such as "Moving Mountains", the crowd melts. At moments like that, it's as if he's singing to you personally; I'd bet there isn't a girl at that concert who's not wishing he was theirs! He has a magical way of bringing you on a rollercoaster ride, singing break-up songs and then switching to songs where you can't help but dance – it's so much fun. Usher's live concerts are just simply awesome.
Quite a few years of bad press and some very public run ins with the law have meant that Chris Brown has lost some of his credibility as an artist. It seems that many have forgotten that since the age of 16, he has provided us with some of the biggest RnB and Hip-Hop hits of the last decade.
Though chances to see him live now may be few and far between, any chance that you get, you should take it!
Seeing Chris at the Indigo2 in 2009 was one of my best concert experiences ever, hands-down. Just 19 years old at the time, he commanded the stage and the audience with a presence far wiser than his years. His expert dance moves and voice to match have drawn comparisons to some of the biggest artists such as Michael Jackson and Justin Timberlake.
As he made his way though a string of hits, including ‘With You’, ‘Wall to Wall’ and ‘Run It’, the energy in the room never slumped, a testament to the quality of both his music and performance.
Some very unfortunate incidents have left Chris Brown with a much-scarred public persona. Seeing him live is a chance to see him at his best, as an artist.
