Usher Boasts Janet, Slates Madonna And Timberlake
Usher was featured on the syndicated newsmagazine show ‘Entertainers with Byron Allen’ on Wednesday night, where he openly criticized Justin Timberlake of *NSYNC and even took shots at Madonna, while boasting Janet Jackson. On Justin, he told Byron, “He’s still got to find his own style and his own swagger – he’s not on Usher’s level. There can only be one Usher and I’m sitting right here.” He continued, “A lot of people compare me to [Justin] and I don’t understand why. I was making R&B classics when he was singing bubblegum pop and I had plenty of successful albums. I did the movies, and now he’s trying to do movies. I’ve been in the game for 10 years now.” When asked about who he’d like to do a joint tour with in the future, he said Janet Jackson. “She’s an entertainer – a true entertainer. There’s no one like her. Some people compare her to Madonna, but I think Janet’s above that. Madonna hasn’t impressed me in a decade, but musically, Janet is still setting the bar. The way I feel is, everybody wants to be Usher, everybody wants to be Janet – the problem is, we can’t be duplicated.”
