Those who are drunk and/or lacking in intelligence.
What does your own intelligence have to do with determining an individual's talent level ?

Stupid people are poorer judges of talent.
Do you think any hip-hop/rap artists have talent ?

VH1(?) said he had one of the top 10 celebrity bodies. What a joke. The guy has abs, but so does a POW. Otherwise he's not even got much muscle or anything!

Never heard any of his music (or I wasn't aware he was the artist). Howevewr I genenrally don't like Hip Hop or Rap as I find it extremely repetinive and unoriginal. Of course there are few exceptions.

Crap, accidentally hit yes. Subtract one from yes and add one to no.

Usher is just annoying. Cookie-cutter Top 40.

Usher? He's just a cash cow for the music labels, that all the "I wanna be like my friends" kiddies would buy. Dont get me wrong, there is some good hip-hop music out there, it just doesnt exist on music labels.

Would anyone look at Usher if he didnt wear the stuff he does and have the "bling bling" factor?
Proberly not.

You obviously [blindly] throw him in with many other rappers out there... cause if you really knew his work, he's head and shoulders above just bling bling and 3/4 naked chicks in his videos. For one, ask Britney Spears if it's easy to sing and dance simultaneously. There's a reason she lip syncs.

Yes I have thrown him into that group - Ive heard his tracks being fired out by people driving around like there bad ass gangsters , and there's nothing great about his music to me whatsoever.

On the other hand, "heya" by OutKast is great :) Dont get me wrong, I do appreciate all kinds of music, just nothing I've heard of usher's really makes him stand out.

He used to be good on his first album (I think), that Babyface produced. There was a lot more guitar influence and it was actually good IMO. Now he is just like every other R&B act out there.

Uhh, last I checked Usher doesn't rap, I don't know what most of you guys are referring to.
