NEW YORK (AP) — Metikulosong inaaral ng isa sa mga anak ni Usher ang kanyang dance moves, pero ang isa pa ay naging prangka sa Grammy-winning star: “You’re not a great singer.”
Ayon kay Usher, hindi niya tagahanga ang anak niyang si Nayvid Ely Raymond, anim na taong gulang.
“He doesn’t care about what I do as much. … He’s like, ‘I’m the star. Who are you? You sing?’” sinabi ni Usher sa isang panayam.
“He told me the other day, he says, ‘You’re not a great singer,” natatawang kuwento ng 36-anyos na singer.

Agad namang sinagot ni Usher ang kanyang anak at sinabing “What? I’m a great singer!”
Sinabi naman ni Usher na namana ng isa pa niyang anak, na magpipitong taong gulang ngayong buwan, ang talento niya sa pagsayaw.
“When seeing me perform on tour in the past … and most of the time it’s past his bedtime, but he’s just sitting there studying every move, every second, like laser focus,” paliwanag ng singer “And then I’ll see him off by himself doing the moves.”
Magpapamalas ng kakaibang galaw si Usher sa kanyang UR Experience World Tour, sa Sabado sa Montreal, Canada. Sinabi ng singer na ito ay impluwensiya ng live show na kanyang napanonood sa U2 nina Bruce Springsteen at Frankie Beverly.
“There’s this connection and that is what gave the inspiration for this show,” ayon kay Usher.
Itatanghal niya ang ilan sa kanyang mga kilalang hits na U Remind Me, Yeah! at OMG para sa kanyang unang tour sa loob ng tatlong taon. Tutugtog din ng ilang instrumento ang singer.
“I may be playing the drum sometimes. I may be playing the bass,” aniya. “We may have a reprise on a song that you know and you enjoy for, who knows, eight to 10 minutes.”
Si Usher ay mayroon ng dalawang single album ngayong taon, at pinaghahandaan na niya ang pang-walo niyang album.
“This is something that was very, very important when I came up as an artist and is probably the reason why 20 years later, I am making music and performing and excited about doing it,” ani Usher.
