Usher (with Akon)
Time Warner Cable Arena
April 30, 2011
The Deal: After much anticipation from teenage girls and old-school fans from all over the city, Usher brought his OMG Tour to Charlotte. And while yes, Akon did perform (he looked me in my eyes, too!), this post is about Usher, and Usher alone.
The Good: I could go on and on about what a great concert this was, but I fear that would be the 16-year-old girl in me gushing. I'll let the video clips I smashed together below do the telling. Usher is a performer, first and foremost.
The Bad: Only that I wasn't the girl picked to be brought onto stage during Usher's performance of "Trading Places." I might have had a heart attack to be serenaded by one of the sexiest men in R&B, but hey ... a small price to pay. Jealousy and envy was in full effect.
The Verdict: I'm in love.
