They didn't even have his microphone on for the opening song. His voice was okay, but it was tough to tell because the sound was so poor. Usher himself barely performed for over an hour because there were a number of music solos (while entertaining, not what people wanted to hear). Usher & The Roots were over an hour late getting on stage. You often hear someone say, 'worth the price of admission'. Rating: 1 out of 5 Underwhelming show by Mangoluvs on Scotiabank Saddledome - Calgary.Usher seemed out of shape and his dancing was not up to par. I think that was the first time he ever played here but I'm not sure. People booed and he still did not come back out. He walked off the stage abruptly, the lights came on and that was it. The other thing that sucked was no encore. My friend and I were really let down as we paid over $300 for those tickets. It was disappointing that Usher did not play all of his hits such as 'More'. Then there was a half-hour wait for Usher. Instead there was a really awful DJ who played music for an hour. The concert was supposed to start at 7:30 pm. Rating: 2 out of 5 Usher was great warm up DJ not so much by LMB1 on Scotiabank Saddledome - Calgary.We still pay $160 each for our seats, not like we were in the nosebleed zone, what a waste of money! The background noise is so loud that no one could hear the vocals. We were sitting behind the floor seats, can't hear anything. Rating: 1 out of 5 Waste of Money by bowong on Scotiabank Saddledome - Calgary.Terrible really, it was really disappointing for those of us who thought we were getting an Usher show. It was 30 minutes before they played an Usher song, and the style was completely Rootsy - only one song sounded like normal Usher. It should have been billed as 'The Roots, featuring a bit of Usher' - and I assure you they would not have sold tickets for as much as they did.

Really disappointed in this show! Calling it 'Usher and the Roots' made it sound to most like the Roots were opening, and Usher was the main act. Rating: 1 out of 5 What did we just see? by Anonymous on Scotiabank Saddledome - Calgary.The stage set up was beyond boring! And the screens they had for people who were seated in the 200 section were tiny. On their own, both artist are amazing, together, it just wasn't a great mix for me.

While some things sounded ok, it was too much Roots, not enough Usher. by Picolina on Scotiabank Saddledome - Calgary Thank you Usher for such a fun night !!!! Usher is truly a star ! I loved his concert so much! His vocals on point and his singing is everything!!!! The stage is super cool I love how much he moves around and how much he connects to this audience! I would go again and again. Usher is currently working on his next album and will appear in “Hands of Stone” as the boxing legend Sugar Ray Leonard alongside Robert De Niro in 2014. Usher found success in the late 1990s with hits like “Nice & Slow” and later with his Grammy Award-winning singles, “U Remind Me” and “U Don’t Have to Call.” A critics and fan favorite, Confessions (2004) produced the massive hits “Yeah!” and “Confessions Part II.” Usher was key in Justin Bieber’s career mentoring the young popstar and was a coach on NBC’s reality singing competition The Voice during its fourth season. Usher has toured and collaborated with many artists including Trey Songz, will.i.am, and Miguel. Ticket buyers praise Usher’s sheer athleticism and explosive dance numbers in concert, but also appreciate his agile voice when his falsetto elicits screams from the crowds. For more than 20 years, Usher has captured the music world with his sensual croon, R&B anthems, club hits, and self-proclaimed “revolutionary pop.” Usher’s 2012 album Looking 4 Myself spawned the megahits “Scream” and “Climax,” the latter sustaining an 11-week reign atop Billboard’s Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart, his 12th number one on the chart, and earning Usher a Grammy Award for Best R&B performance.
