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.
@@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.
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!
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’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 ❤❤🎉🎉
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
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
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...
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!!💛💛💛
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 is awesome,but don't compare him with Charles❤❤Wilson.❤❤❤
CW is not outperforming Usher. You could have gave Uncle Charlie his props without using Ushers name.
He did tho
I was actually there cw out perform usher the crowd was up dancing and singing to cw usher was good his song selection was to slow so I give it to cw
Charlie Wilson performance was amazing 😍🤩😍🤩😍🤩🤩
@@youngjizzle7157 at the Essence Fest. Ok cool. Lol

He never misses a beat. I don't care how old he is. One of the greatest voices of all time .

That's right and our generation should be giving them all of the praises that they deserve
If he’s even lucky enough to reach that age.
We love Usher and we love Uncle Charlie!
Charlie Wilson ain't new to this. A true showman.
NOTICE THIS MAN HAS NEVER SCREAMED KING OF ANYTHING THE VOICE SPEAKS FOR ITSELF.👑💫🌟⭐️✨☝️💯🥂💐🤜💥🤛🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🤩
Thank u for uploading for us who cant be at the ESSENCE festival
It was Live on YT and Essence website
Charlie Wilson is a true legend. Every decade or era he is a phenomenal performer!
I am 59 years old, and he still sounds like Uncle Charlie .listen to him in high school. Wow, stills sound's great.
Still looking the same just not with the cowboy hat go head uncle Charlie.
I say the same thing. I'm 60 I've been listening to this man since i was 13 and he still got it going on like that.
He has one of the best voices i've ever heard
Uncle Charlie is the total package
I have seen Uncle Charlie so many times. Same show, yet always great.
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 guess we watched two different shows. Because they both killed it.
Look yall can’t compare Charlie Wilson to no one else in the industry. Not in the same league. Two different spectrums and eras
That's called comparison, bruh.
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 ❤❤🎉🎉
Brother CW can chew gum and sang at the same dam time who's bad
😂😂
Oh shoot, you meant that literally. I just noticed
Uncle Charlie Has A Powerful Testimony! The Lord Has Been Good To Him❤️
Charlie Wilson - Class Act!! 🎉🎉
This headline not needed forreal.
Exactly. Like, why you gotta downplay somebody to celebrate or honor someone else?
For clicks..its not needed frfr...but if people take the bait, then it worked, and people will keep doing it.
@@johnscott_95 Thank you!
@@HopefullyOverwhelmed Yep you right. It’s an endless cycle.
Amen
Listen whoever arranged the song selections was on the money !!! 😊
Old school always out shine the young people, we can understand the words and our music last forever 🎉 Love you CW😊
Both Men are OUTSTANDING
Absolutely!
❤❤❤Uncle Charlie Wilson , I Love You Always. You Have Always Done A Phenomenal Performance, Baby.Keep On At 71+. Keep
Keep Performance Performance
Both great singers.. Enjoyed both their performances ❤❤❤
One of the BEST VOICES❤
You could’ve just said “Charlie Wilson showed out at Essence Fest!” There was no need to even mention Usher.
Beautiful show bae I love the energy,I love you charlie❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤u are seriously blessed
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 LOVE YOU UNCLE CHARLIE.
Outstanding! Love Uncle Charlie, thanks so much for sharing!
Super man love this song
I love me some Charlie Wilson,all his songs turn me on up to this day❤2024
My first Charlie Wilson concert was Amazing. That's when I first got to see the singer Joe perform too
The concert I attended, the lineup was Charlie Wilson, Joe and Kem. It was amazing too!
@@msnj2684 Yesssss ❤️❤️❤️
Columbus Georgia for me
Praise God Charlie❤😊

They all performed awesome
bruhh Uncle Charlie was so electric last night he DID THAT ! .. usher couldn’t mess with him
Better than the BET Awards
Two different things 😉 Essence “FESTIVAL” BET “AWARDS”
There’s no comparison lol
Charlie Wilson in my opinion is an R&B God. The title King don't say enough to describe the depth of his importance to the genre.
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
Usher is getting ready to go on a WHOLE tour... I don't blame Usher.
Our older singers are still doing the damn thing and we have to continue to give them their flowers while we still have them❤❤❤
He knows how to reserve his energy because I've seen him dance and he be getting it . Old school classes still in session
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 so outstanding that Charlie and crew was on fire 🔥 I forgot I was at work jamming so hard I almost got fired ❤💯
🗣️Stop with the NONSENSE. Two different eras and great performers
Charlieeeeeeeeeeeeeeee I love him
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...

Thanks for posting!🔥🔥🔥
Those 2 are not in the same generations totally different music,Charlie old school,Usher new generation!💯Usher cannot Touch Charles no way!💯💯💯🥰😎
It’s know competition Both are hard working wonderful artist. I love them both. I give them their flowers❤❤🎉🎉
Charlie killed it. No wonder people looked down on usher.. They should have let charlie closed it. Charlie can sing and chew gum at the same time.
Fum nobody looked down on Usher liar 🤐🤡🙄
I wanted Usher to give us the same kind of performance he gave to Vegas a d he did not. I wanted skates and the same energy did not get it.
@@karenbrown3288 yea. he was sleepy..lol
@@pumpkin19521 where you there?
Praise God Charlie!!!!💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽
Love him so much
Computer Love is still great songs of all time
That's sister is stealing the show, and the horn players golden
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!
That smooth criminal add-in went crazy
Yes he did
Charlie know he can put on a show!!!
If Usher was around during Charlie wilson younger years there wouldn't be any comparison. Gap band was unique
Facts
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! 👊🏽
My Charlie❤️❤️❤️🔥🔥 and Background 🔥🔥🔥🔥
The King of R&B ❤❤❤
Charles Wilson didn't out do Usher, God was just blessing His child❤❤❤
Uncle Charlie put on a show, l felt sorry for that gum he was chewing 😅.
Unk "Don't owe that GUM anything"
Without a head to head/comparison video, it's impossible to believe you!
❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊spectacular !
9:30 come on Nick and play that sax!!!! He tore it down on Tiny Desk! Get ‘em Nick! 🫶🏾🫶🏾
Performers are different in styles and ages. Shame on you!
Why people always comparing performers?? If you are BLESSED to see them in person relax and enjoy the show.
Mic drop!!🤙🏾💯
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I love Charlie
I love the showman concerts!
Play uncle Charlie, play it. Do you did it
The title of this video is childish
Nothing wrong w the title…you kept it 💯
Others people have catalogs uncle Charlie have a library 😆 😮🎉
Put out music just about every year no one else doing that.
Ooooweeee😅❤❤😂Yesssss
❤❤❤❤❤❤
❤🔥
Charlie Wilson chews gum to keep his vocals warmed up and relaxed. Marvin Gaye used to do this same thing to keep his voice lubricated.
So cold
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.
I mean....even Usher, if he's honest, will tell you Charlie is better. It's all love though!
Let me find out that the Essence Fest is the new BET
Why all the comparisons? Each is gifted musical and talented in their own right, just different generations.
Jammin!!!!!!! 😃😃😃
WHAT tour usher going on?
Whose mic was on?
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!
Don't nobody gives a damn what you talking about the hell with super bowl mess and other mess you talking about
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
