I will NEVER compare these two gentlemen. Uncle Charlie was been around since before Usher was born. Why compare them when they are both FABULOUS, FANTASTIC, WONDERFUL ARTISTS. I have seen them both perform Uncle Charlie is amazing and Usher is amazing, dancing and skating. I know both shows were off the chain. Give them their flowers.
At 71 this man is out singing 99.5% of all male R&B artists today! Usher will be doing the same in his later years, so there's no reason to compare the 2. They are both super incredible at what they do!
@@stemleyboi95j50 ok so we're talking about Essence Fest which is one show and a bunch of middle aged to older men and women having a good time. Usher didnt bring his A Game...I get it but next you gon say Uncle Charlie can outperform Chris Brown. I'm glad you had a good time.
I’m old school and my generation know what good music and good performances look like and we don’t pit one against the other 🎉. They both gave great performances ❤❤🎉🎉
Charlie Wilson still has his voice and he knows how to use the backup singers to support him so he doesn’t get too tired. AND he change clothes at least 10 times! Love Uncle Charlie!
When Uncle Charlie started preaching his personal testimony and took NOLA to church! He knows the times we living in! Better not forget God in this hour!❤❤❤
I miss him performing on stage with his brothers. Now you want to see a concert? OMG The Gap band with Ronnie, Robert, and Charlie.. Old school at it's best. And the band is kicking!!
I played bass guitar at Essence with Aleander O'Neal and Cherrelle in 2011, and the same thing happened back then. We started at the same time as Uncle Charlie,played one full hour, took a 30 min break, Mint Condition ripped it up for that 30, we went in to watch Unc. We went back onstage and did another full hour, and when we finished, Unc was STILL onstage! 😲 After he finished killing it, Ushe came nehind him... Usher is a young legend himself, but Unc left no room on the stage for him...People started walking out and everything.Usher was cool, but he lip synched a few parts, but the show was still nice...just didn't have that same energy as Unc!
Love you chalie Wilson God bless you brother may The Most High continue to bless you and your family and bless everyone in your band all of them are amazing
Exactly Uncle Charlie! But not fair too compare, as Uncle CW has been around for a minute ya'll! However, age is just a number! Definitely love Uncle CW! Grew up with the GAP Band! Thanks for sharing!!💛💛💛
If you've ever been to any of the Essence Festivals in the past folks enjoy the ole R&B, or older gospel the best...the old music is always hitting at the E. festival...
I agree with the headline I was there a lot of people was sitting for ushers entire performance. Charlie had the entire audience entertained!!! I wasn’t really a fan of Charlie but I really became one after I saw him and I was deeply disappointed in ushers performance because I am a fan of his
This was one of the best years to attend the Essence Festival. Frankie Beverly and Maze, Charlie Wilson, Janet Jackson, and Usher. Plus many more. I recently had back surgery and was not able to go. Great job to the organizers of The Essence Festival!
I've saw Charlie W. in Concert in Ohio when he was doing Disappearing Acts on Stage👍🏽 That Concert was so off the darn chain🔥 And I Tip my Hat to those Amazing Dancers! They had on some Clothes! & weren't Twerking & Grinding on each other. He is just a Class Act! 👊🏽
Charlie Wilson has been performing at a high level for longer than Usher has been alive. Anybody that expected less is foolish. Usher did Usher and Charlie did Charlie.
Charlie Wilson is definitely a legend and I love The Gap Band, however calling him the Real King of R&B?! When was his Super Bowl performance or residency in Las Vegas because I clearly missed both!
Such a a dumb ass comment? Only 2 bands from the funk era Ew&F and Cameo have played on the strip. Usher is a bad mofo for his generation but can he do it line the legends probably not because them cats had too work the stage every night? Usher can pick n choose his shows.
Just because u get a residency in Vegas doesn't make u the greatest anyone can get a residency in Vegas it's not a promotion heck lounge singers and magicians have residencies in Vegas
Usher probably did an abbreviated show. His show is really energetic and packed with a lot going on and he has been in residency, on tour and just left the BET Awards. That means people need to go to his show on tour now.
