Yeah! was one of the first songs I ever bought for myself on iTunes. I bought it together with the Axel F Crazy Frog song.

Thatā€™s the end of my Usher story

Really like the threads for a prolific artist where you make up a load of singles and put them in the middle hoping nobody notices. Good bit that.

My first ever brush with raw, unfiltered feminine sexual desire was some lass in my maths class giving me a copy of You Make Me Wanna on Valentineā€™s Day. This was way too intimidating for my 11 year old self - 1/5

ā€˜U Donā€™t Have To Callā€™ is a banger and a Neptunes production classic.

Tangential to his main career of course, but my main encounters with Usher have been when heā€™s performed with the Afghan Whigs a few times (paging @TAFH33!). Here they are doing one of theirs and then one of his

Really versatile voice, wish theyā€™d make an album together.

Frustratingly inconsistent use of ā€˜Uā€™ and 'You" throughout the list there. If an artist wants a five theyā€™re going to have to do better than that.

Genuinely like a lot of Usher but Iā€™d say he might get a bit of a kicking here.

Her Indoors make fun of me because I listen to Burn all the tine, itā€™s like one if my most played songs. Thereā€™s quite a few good tracks on the Confessions album but a lot of shit as well. Sort of sums him up.

Iā€™d like to give him a good score for the songs I do like but 3 is the best I can do. When heā€™s good, heā€™s good, itā€™s just that he normally isnā€™t good.

Want to give him 00000

woah, never knew this was a thing

Probably just a sign of my blinkered view of music whenever he was active but Iā€™m surprised to see ten songs already with votes, I only knew You Make Me Wannaā€¦ and I assumed he was a one hit wonder.

17

I know Yeah, thatā€™s fine, but donā€™t knowingly know anything else. One of my running buddies is a massive fan, but our music tastes donā€™t align in any way whatsoever.

I will abstain on this one.

18

5/5 for saying GOOD AFTERNOON MANCHESTER at Radio 1ā€™s Big Weekend in 2008 inā€¦ Maidstone. Everyone booed

jk Iā€™m abstaining but Yeah! is an absolute 5/5 track, however - despite never having listened to it - U Make Me Wanna cannot live up to the song of the same title by Blue.

Iā€™ll save you some time; itā€™s much, much better.

3/5 from me. Some good quality bangers and that, but also a lot of dreck.
One of my favourite things to do to mildly irk Mrs Funkhouser is to answer any question that starts with ā€˜do you wantā€¦ā€™ by hollering ā€œI WANNA MAKE LOVE IN THIS CLUUUUUUUB!ā€. Iā€™m a real prize catch you know.
