Here’s Usher Nailing (And Whiffing) Some High Notes At E3

Press conference musical performances are always a bit mortifying for all involved. The stage sucks, the audience isn’t there for music, and no one’s been drinking. (Well, almost no one. These are journalists, after all.)

Usher’s performance for Dance Central 3 at the Microsoft E3 press conference was no different. As Mike Fahey pointed out, Usher asked everyone to get on their feet, and yet most of the people didn’t feel like getting on their feet. The people who were on their feet? The ushers, of course.
