Can we not do this again this year. Yes. Usher is an Icon, he is considered one of the most important artists for modern R&B.
Just because you don't like his music/don't rate the genre, doesn't mean he isn't an Icon.
Some reading material for your ignorance.
"Usher was named the Hot 100 Artist of the 2000s by Billboard stating "Usher's sexy brand of R&B dominated the last decade with the top-selling album and more No. 1s than any other act", with Confessions selling 20 million copies worldwide as the top solo album.
Often cited as an "icon" Los Angeles Times critic Randall Roberts marks dance singles "Yeah!", "Caught Up" and "OMG" to have influenced contemporary dance-pop, stating the former two also "helped define the [20]00s". Time magazine's pop stardom ranking metric, ranked Usher 3rd in history, based on "all-time chart performance and contemporary significance". Rolling Stone magazine named "Confessions Part II" the greatest R&B song of the 21st century"
