Usher has claimed he is well on the way to becoming an icon like the great Michael Jackson.The ‘OMG’ singer, whose latest album Raymond V Raymond has taken fourth spot in the charts, would like to fill the void left by the late singer, who he is
greatly inspired by.
He told the Daily Star: ‘I've been doing this 18 years now and my icon is well on its way,’
‘Michael was doing it for 50 years and that's something I'd like to grow towards. At the same time, I am one of a kind, a worldwide pop icon.’
He is was pleased after Jay-Z said that he has the potential to become a global superstar like his musical icon.
Jay-Z was so impressed with his tribute to the King of Pop at the Grammy Awards and hailed him as the best dancer and singer since Michael.
The rapper told Access Hollywood: ‘I thought the Michael Jackson tribute was fantastic and I thought Usher was doing a magnificent job. I think he's one of the guys that's in line to fill those huge shoes.’
But becoming the musical equivalent of the King of Pop is not without its draw backs.
In a recent interview with the Guardian the 31-year-old talks about the pressures of fame and living in front of the public eye.
He told the paper: ‘I don't have a private life – that's the catch,’
‘What R&B music is, and what it always has been, is taking an emotional experience and singing it passionately. Privacy is something that just isn't there. Every other day something's written about you, but you can't get caught up in it. I try to live my life, and whatever is said in the press, I think my music will allow me to address certain things with people. Or, if people
wondered if there were certain truths in certain things, my music basically sets the record straight.’
