to:

* AWildRapperAppears: Ludacris BunnyEarsLawyer: In Season 4 of ''Series/TheVoice'', its revealed that, as a coach, Usher has some very... eccentric... ways to train his singers to be better. The best example might be when he gave singer Michelle Chamuel instructions to drop and do push ups, then jump up and start singing, as a means to increase her breath control. Also, he gave Chamuel the Cyndi Lauper classic "True Colors" (a song about never giving up and believing in "Yeah!"yourself) for use in a Knockout round performance, and during rehearsals instructed her to sing the song to herself in a mirror, as a way to get her to get her to open up to the audience more. It worked.

we dont need to have much about their personal lives


However, his life is not only marked by success, as it is ongoing considerable drama as of the beginning of July 2012.
His stepson Kevin has been diagnosed with severe brain damage, which left him probably brain-dead, and the life support is too expensive to be paid for by his ex-wife, who fears to be uncapable of paying for it. Usher has not yet offered to pay for the life support, despite stating that he was "like a son" to him.
