This new shoot from Men’s Health magazine with Chris Brown is so reminiscent of something Usher would have done back in his glory days.

How would you compare the two artists?

  • FoxyBrownIsCrazy says:

    Usher was the man back in the day…but I think Chris Brown is a more original dancer…

  • babycakes says:

    im wit foxybrowniscrazy on this one

  • Will973 says:

    USHER IZ MOR3 TAL3NTED ( in his glory days) BUT CB IZ JUS KILLIN DA R&B GAME RIGHT NOW…BUT PERSONALLY, USHER IZ MORE TALENTED.

  • nia says:

    chris brown & usher both got skill, but chris brown ill’ kill usher in dancin-usher still got his other good stuff though!

  • Lee Le says:

    4sho chris can dance better, but usher is a better all round artist. Summa CBs songs on his new cd fell off.

  • Chris J the Genius says:

    This is shocking. I remember feeling the same way when I watched BET’s countdown of the Top 25 Dancers (in which they gave Chris Brown the #2 spot and he conveniently co-hosted the show). How the HELL can yall say that Chris Brown is better than Usher in either capacity? That makes no sense to me. Let’s remember that Chris Brown looks up to Usher. The inspired can never be greater than the inspiration! That’s like saying Eddie Murphy is better than Richard Pryor. We seem to have a short-term memory in urban entertainment when it comes to giving people their props. Usher is a better singer, dancer, and overall performer and showman than Chris Brown. Every time you look at Chris Brown you can see that Usher left his mark on the dude. That’s the true sign of greatness, everyone who comes after you bears your mark.

  • jikbaby says:

    CB is my dude but confessions is the best cd i ever heard ever i think chris got ush on the dancing tip cause he is more dynamic than ush flipping and stuff ush dont do that but ush been doing his thing for a minute now and his vocals and songwriting are higher than cb right now but i think chris will be ever more fire when he gets his man voice hes young and his voice is still changing but you can still tell his progressions so i gotta give it to ush cause he has been doing it longer and he hasnt fell off cb will be there but he still has growing to do

  • skip says:

    Let’s face it Usher is old.. at one time he was a good dancer, but he is nothing like Chris Brown. Chris Brown can do anything as to where Usher has more of a laid back style of dancing. But both are great artist and great dancers and much love to the two.

  • Michelle says:

    Usher hands down. Who the hell is voting, 12 year olds?

  • Mark says:

    There’s no comparison both guys are very talented,

  • letha says:

    why are we comparing to or the best dancers around

  • Andrea says:

    If you look back to Usher’s very first cd, it didnt do nearly as good as Chris Browns first and neither did his second. Yes Usher is a good performer but hands down Chris Brown is better and he’s only 18. And Chris Brown doesn’t look up to Usher as much as ya’ll are sayin, who he really looks up to is Michael Jackson. If he looked up to Usher that much then he would have wanted to do a song with him but he seems to care less. Usher is great but Chris Brown is “that dude.” Waitt about 5 years from now when Chris is 23 there will be no comparison and Chris earned that #4 spot on top 25 dancers. Michael Jackson was #2 for that person who said Chris was.

  • datNAPTOWNkid says:

    i like ushers songs more but chris has sum good songs plus he can dance better so idk

  • Chase Sanders says:

    I don’t think you can compare them really.

  • Jon P says:

    ones (chris brown) goofier than the other (usher). neither of them have done anything groundbreaking for r&b, the dream is shittin on both of them as far as song making.

  • Allurre says:

    Usher = More rounded and experienced in the industry. Better vocalist.

    CB = New age, new school, new R&B sensation at a young age. Fresh.

  • sista_gurl says:

    Uhh, Chris Brown can’t sing and his album was terrible. Usher definitely has the advantage.

    And sorry but…why is Chris on the cover of “Men’s Health” magazine when hes still a boy?

  • sista_gurl says:

    I am just TOO tired of seeing Chris Brown…he is becoming the male Beyonce.

  • Jon P says:

    yea sista gurl is right chris brown def cant sing he cannot hit a high note for shit. Usher got him by his little nuts.

  • James says:

    whoever says CB is more talented than Usher is a retard. Bottom line.

    Usher’s career has lasted a lot longer than Chris’s will, that’s how people are nowadays, they don’t appreciate sh*t, they just always want something “hot” and new.

    You’re all chasing something you can’t possibly catch.

    and in 60-70 years, you won’t even be here, and nothing will matter.

  • Fresh says:

    Their styles aren’t the same in my opinion
    I think Usher is the better vocalist

  • rich says:

    It’z only dancing dang it’z not ur life.

  • i quite dont like either one of them but usher is DEFINITELY wayyyyy better than chris brown….if anything chris brown is jus a young usher and needs alot more maturing before comparing them…i would be insulted if i were usher

  • lmao @ sista_gurl
    ….totally agree

  • Shea says:

    Michael Jackson looked up to James Brown… Usher looked up to Michael Jackson… Someone is always looking up to someone. Every artists takes pieces from someone else and blendsit with their own unique style and ability. Usher doesn’t “krump”. I haven’t ever seen him do it but things come out in different areas and they just get blended. So who really cares? 10 years from now it will be some other kid being compared to one of these guys. Usher and Chris Brown have two different fan bases.

  • Jack says:

    Chris Brown cant sing or dance. All his songs sound like a 10 year old was bored and put a bunch of rhymes together. Just read his lyrics, he is nothing special music-wise. His fanbase is similar to that of hannah montana’s. Whose idea was it to put him in this magazine?

  • Jack says:

    with that said, Usher gets my vote.

  • Sonya says:

    how can you compare the two, they are even the same age. they both have their own style.

  • Jon P says:

    Jack got that one, his lyrics are so basic. I cant understand why women love it, most love songs are pretty much the same, they dont really have any depth, where are the deep complex lyrics at?

  • sheena says:

    chris brown will never be the new usher. Usher is the most successful atrist in the world. Usher is amazing. Usher always has the best amazing performance in the world.usher on star search in 1991 usher didn’t compied micheal jackson. usher has so much talent. i now this because i am a big fan of usher and he is my idol. you people don’t know what you are saying you people think that you know usher. You don’t know nothing about usher. Usher thought of his own dancing. Usher nows how to sing. When Usher was 11 he started singing in his mother’s church choir. Usher never copied micheal jackson if some people think that you are just being stupid

  • Rick Lexington says:

    Yeah that’s not really a comparison. The styles aren’t really the same. But chris does have some moves. If anything I would compare genuwine to usher. I wouldn’t even put neyo into a comparison.

  • patrick says:

    ok usher is deff beter than chris brown he can dance beter and deff sing beter i dont know why we would even have to descuss this, usher has been around way longer than most artists now, he started when he was 14 and he will be around as long as he can walk and talk.

  • jingleballs says:

    usher is better!!!!!

  • Jdub the bronx thug says:

    they both suck

  • James Brown on Youtube…

    James Brown had more honorifics connected with his name than any other singer in music history. He has variously been tagged “Soul Brother Number One” “the Godfather of Soul” “the Hardest Working Man in Show Business” “Mr. Dynamite” and even “…

  • david ruky says:

    hey as far as i’m concerned CHRISBROWN is by far better than USHER in all ways he’s cuter ,younger,smarter & he can dance better than usher…

  • chucksmusicworld2010 says:

    usher was the first to break dance as an r&b artist shit mj coudnt stand on his hands and pose.the point is everything that chris has done dancing usher has done. people keep forgeting that usher was bringing krump out in the music video yeah!and chris brown strait jacked usher for the hand stand pose from the u remind me video.its just cb krumps in damn near every dance video he does, so alot people think cb started krump.

  • dylethat says:

    I DONT LIKE CHRIS BROWN BUT I THINK THAT MY MAN USHER STILL HAVE THE MOVES, SINCE BACK THEN. SO I AM HATING ON CHRIS BROWN. I NEVER WAS A CHRIS BROWN FAN AT ALL. BUT AM A USHER FAN FOR REAL. YEAH MAN
