Usher does "Chicago"


Usher looks good playing 27 year old Billy Flynn, a slick lawyer in the musical "Chicago". This is what he had to say about his new role:
"Many years ago I decided to become an entertainer. I didn't really know what that meant until I began to look at other people who had become the motivating force for me to do what I do. "As a young entertainer I looked at Bob Fosse's work. I look at Sammy Davis Jr. I looked at Ben Vereen. I looked at all of the people who were real entertainers. They had the ability to be triple threats: dance, sing and act. I've danced. I've sang and done exceedingly well. I've acted and done well. I want the opportunity to be able to say, 'You can't call me a half entertainer'. I'm not. I've done it all."

I'm so proud of him, he's not only showing a different side to him but also showing the world that he has a lot of talent and opening more doors for others to follow.
