its just nice to hear pop singers sing these kind of classic songs where in they could prove that they could sing anykind o songs,,, hands down to this cover of usher!! you just brought me to 70s man.....
He was only in his thirties when he performed this song in 2016. He started his career at a very young age. I remember seeing him compete on the show "Star Search" when he was a kid.
People STOP comparing! Usher wasn't trying to be better than Ray Charles.. he did an awesome tribute! He deserves mad props for choosing to sing this iconic song in front of the FIRST black president!!
However, Jaime was paid to be Ray I am still amazes at that performace. The new generation is Putting the "Spin " on older music...USHER is his own star .....
I'm so proud of Usher......he is so talented and heartfelt in everything he does. I just wish it were a little louder. But thanks. I adore GA myself and its people
I like this song so much. Usher did a excellent rendition. Wow I think he is a first class artist. To sing this song is challenging. Ray Charles a wonderful artist . Usher should be proud as he accomplished it with such confidence. Thank you so very much
He came a long way bc at first when he came out he really couldn’t. That’s the difference betw someone that makes music and an artist - constantly improving their craft
Many artists tend to try to over sing the hits of great artists. Sometimes it wise to back off and sing a tribute to the great artist. You can't out sing them, so give honor and respect by a good rendition. Usher did that. I have listened to this multiple times because he sang it "sweet"!
Do you know why I like to over sing songs? Because I know how to sang! Sing and I did it in front of you august 28, 2023! Now pay the lady for the hair bitch! I did mine myself!
Hi edagdwg thanks You tube for sharing this story of what happens when you enjoy this man singing god bless him Linda j peace only God can make you feel were you come from the bless Ray Charles linda j. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾☮️☮️☮️☮️☮️
Yeah, who would have thought, especially sweet this morning in the USofA 😇 Here’s to you all at the dawning of a new era and new beginnings from a half a world away in New Zealand ♥️
God bless Ray, he had such amazing talent he won’t be forgotten!!! As well as Usher God bless him too and everyone in that room, you know what actually God bless the world!!!
Jenny, if the singer can sing, the rendition will be a winner! People act like he is Ray or trying to be, girl pay these folks no mind... Ray is here in spirit and Jaime can't be everywhere to perform it!
Whatttt! Demons were invited, allah worship too, head of national security was sharia jihadhi too a fiendish cair man, especially brought in by oh bum ah
@@naomideguyane possible we never witnessed such a humble couple with high moral values in the WH. I do believe it was God's plan to put the first black president with such humility in the WH and at the same time, to punish us with what we have right now for taking for granted that man's work during 8 years. We live in strange times, even evangelist pastors are not following anymore the scripture but power and wealth.
all you haters need to shut the hell up He did a fine job with that song. of course its not a carbon copy of Ray's, that would be impossible. But I feel he truly did the song justice. Ray would be proud as I was
LOVE Georgia and this version of the great song. With a bow to Jimmy Carter, Ray Charles, and most recently Stacy Abrams, Brad Raffensperger, Raphael Warnock, and Jon Ossoff. Thank you!
Sadly we have Trump now and the white house doesn't do things like this anymore all the fun and life has been sucked out of the white house thanks to the orange cone that is in the white house now. Such a shame! I miss the Obama's so very much!
Beautiful version! He doesn't oversing it, and the band and backup singers are amazing.
Really, make me vomit . Could you kiss it any better.
It's called rehearsal 😂
@@guest4796 millie Vanille
No its not, its trash
How exquisitely Usher sings this. So wonderful to hear such depth beyond his amazing R&B and pop work. Gx
he reminds me of myself not lol brilliant
Georgia is on all of our minds tonight
On my soul✊🏿 Democrats on the 🗺
Same here Georgia and Philadelphia
Ahhahahahahha ong
yeah yeah yeah under 1800 votes now
It's there! Thank you Georgia!
These old songs get sweeter as they years go by.
That piano fill at 2:08 was classy as fuck
Ohh...so good...so good...yes.
BRAZIL!!!
Jimmy B hell yeah man
this whole performance was classy as fuck
and your comment is not
Jimmy B Absolutely!!
yes indeed...
listening to this with hope the result will flip and turn blue anytime now..
Did it!!
Screw that
@@russellsewell4574 sore loser
@@garrett7101 that’s what u Democrats have been for the past 4 years
Howd turning blue work for you ?
The musical arrangement on this is just perfect! There is everything.
Usher has so much talent. Handsome, charismatic and steadily improving as an artist. He should be so much bigger than he is rn
its just nice to hear pop singers sing these kind of classic songs where in they could prove that they could sing anykind o songs,,, hands down to this cover of usher!! you just brought me to 70s man.....
Two things:
1. How does this man not age?
2. Can we give some props to the orchestra? Because they killed that.
He was only in his thirties when he performed this song in 2016. He started his career at a very young age. I remember seeing him compete on the show "Star Search" when he was a kid.
THEY SURE DID ESPECIALLY THE BASSIST!
Ballwiz 23 it’s a jazz band/ Big band. An orchestra contains largely strings and varieties from almost every musical family
Sang beautifully
Black don't crack
People STOP comparing! Usher wasn't trying to be better than Ray Charles.. he did an awesome tribute! He deserves mad props for choosing to sing this iconic song in front of the FIRST black president!!
who said we were comparing
C&C 2014 props are things in movies.. mad is insanity
He's just not very good.
Y’all are seriously judgemental. None of you could do what Usher did....
I agree with you, what a good answer
No matter what anybody says, I think Usher did fantastic on this. The musicians also did AMAZING. Chills.
Beautyful couple @#!
Smooth like butter. Usher sang this song exquisitely.
Concordo 😊
I love Usher and this is absolutely beautiful!
hes singing the song mt dad used to sing to me amd named me from 😢😍😍👌
Georgia's DAILY that's adorable
a pretty name for a pretty woman. :)
Georgia Lee Beauty hola. como. estas
Georgia Lee Beauty that's beautiful
Maria Fernanda Jurado uuuu
Dang soo dope! Why cant musicians and vocalist play music like this today!!
It's because we've lost it, today's music has no melody or meaning,.. just sayin.
Oh my god, I just watched this, tears pouring down my cheeks, so damned good.
what an honor, for usher aswell as for the listeners. nostalgia hittin hard
❤🥺 Simply beautiful! He did a great job & the musicians were perfect 🎶🤗
Usher, you have been, you are, and always will be the Man! respect you, my brother!!!!! keep blessing the world with your gifts!
One of my favorite song of the era awesome .
He sang that song well and the band played well! Great job! Enjoyed listening; it ministered to my soul!
I can’t be mad at any version of this BEAUTIFUL song.
Yes, he put his own twist to the song, which shows his awesome talent and versatility, a true Artist! Hats off to you Usher !! 👏 🙌 👌
a fireplace, a glass of merlot & this! Heaven.
So beautiful,,,Made me cry. Sang with so much passion. I pra;y that this is not the last time we will hear Usher sing this great old standard,
This guy is a great singer. A tasteful, understated tribute to a master.
Great Job Usher!!! He did Ray Charles justice on this cover. This song makes me wanna visit the State Of Georgia one day.
Amazing. Performance by Usher!!💯👑
Obviously Jammie Foxx was born to RESING this Song,
but come on people... Usher did well
However, Jaime was paid to be Ray I am still amazes at that performace. The new generation is Putting the "Spin " on older music...USHER is his own star .....
Yaaassssss
😂😂😂 emphasis on resing
If you can sing it will be great either way, Jaime can't be everywhere to sing this song 😂
Jamie foxx didnt sing this in the movie
Wow usher this version takes my breath away. So soulful
Usher can really sing anything...Such a pure voice💖
A real true voice melts you gives me the shivers so does Ray too tho
I'm so proud of Usher......he is so talented and heartfelt in everything he does. I just wish it were a little louder. But thanks. I adore GA myself and its people
It was a very sad time for me and for millions of Ray Charles fans . Usher did a great rendition of "Geogia On My Mind."
I miss all of the wonderful cultural activities at The White House we had under the Obama administration.
They all sucked so bad
It's one thing. To sing for the president but. They all sucked
All shall be well dearest
I agree. I just said that the other day! We need more times to appreciate and celebrate our country's rich musical history.
Me too!
Good rendition of the song
So cool.compose and classical
Well done usher and the orchestra band.
Music sweet nuh cook food.
ONE OF THE WORLD'S BEST SONGS
JANETADEU DA SILVA Silva
What is that song about? Georgia as country next to the black sea or as a state ?
MiShO mIsHo Georgia, as in the southern United States.
I like this song so much. Usher did a excellent rendition. Wow I think he is a first class artist. To sing this song is challenging. Ray Charles a wonderful artist . Usher should be proud as he accomplished it with such confidence. Thank you so very much
Thats one of my favourites songs! I love it! 😍😍
Music is something soo great, can´t believe, how much connecting i feel listen to all this lovely sounds.
Usher wasn’t trying to be Ray Charles he wanted to sing it how he can sing it...nice
Exactly
Sang Ursher! Now who in the world would give this melody a thumbs down? He did an absolutely beautiful job.
Georgia is definitely on my mind tonight.
This is possibly the greatest thing I'll ever see/hear in my lifetime as far as music goes.
The essence of cool right there, every one of them, beautiful.
Usher did the damn thing! That boy can Sang!
He came a long way bc at first when he came out he really couldn’t.
That’s the difference betw someone that makes music and an artist - constantly improving their craft
Usher can sing🎼💕🎶
I confess right here I'd never had thought I'd see him singing this song and so good!

Excellent Usher. I could listen to you sing this kind of music all day. I hear you Shelea in the background. It's nice to hear Usher really just sing.
it's addictive listening to these song, Unfortunately, artist today have no inspiration and no talent for music. Is this your favorite song?
One of my favorite songs of all time, Ray's. But Usher did it justice, he did it GREAT.
Yeah, who would have thought, especially sweet this morning in the USofA 😇 Here’s to you all at the dawning of a new era and new beginnings from a half a world away in New Zealand ♥️
Let's appreciate the background singers for a bit😭💗 love usher, my booo
Munchie & Shelea!! They sing BG for Stevie Wonder too. They are amazing
awesome job Usher
awesome performance by usher....
Talented man. simple as that... ( he must have driven the security detail crazy each time he went for his side arm )
I always enjoyed Usher singing better when singing from the heart ❤️ so clear & soulfully!
Lindo de ouvir...passaria toda noite curtindo esse som!!!😍
He always look classy, ageless, elegant, sing effortless... King of Rb 2020... Keep singing usher....Legend forever..
Nice song good cover. .. anyone disagree... go ahead...pick up the mic.
ok
Ian Ó yess
I'd rather not pick the mic up at all...........the original version is enough and perfectly sublime.
Ian Ó That's true friend.
I like Usher, great job
I'm here, day of the run-offs, and saying my prayers with this in background. Please oh please Georgia you sweet peach you...lets go blue
Blue all the way!!! Victory Hallelujah Jesus!!!!!
What do you expect from that?
... and, we're privileged by Providence, the good people of Georgia prevailed. Democracy Continues!
As an Atlanta native and resident, this songs means so much.
Well done, a beautiful delivery. Nice
His sober interpretation give it more force and class Usher is fantasitic in blues and R&B...and so elegant!
Georgia on my mind in the Collector: a "timeless". Love Ray (RIP) and love Usher
Usher has the most RnB voice in the world 🙈 omg...
Gotta disagree there.
My kids listen to Ray Charles. A Legend. Timeless.
I sung for my school concert and they loved it and me
That was awesome!! Love Usher❤️
He’s really amazing and talented
Hi Kathleen how are you doing
Love him did a good job beautiful
Love Usher here!!!!
He's killing it!
God bless Ray, he had such amazing talent he won’t be forgotten!!! As well as Usher God bless him too and everyone in that room, you know what actually God bless the world!!!
How boring would the world be if everyone looked and sounded and acted the same! No he's No Ray he's Usher effing Raymond!
Jenny Waite technically we wouldn’t now the difference! Hehe
@@Train1587 ummm , nope!
Jenny, if the singer can sing, the rendition will be a winner! People act like he is Ray or trying to be, girl pay these folks no mind... Ray is here in spirit and Jaime can't be everywhere to perform it!
Damn.such voice!
I love the song ☺️
beautiful
One thing. The White House has had 'soul' over the past 8 yrs - figuratively and literally.
more like spirit cooking
@Isaiah Nedd boy u hit that on the head I almost pee my pants
Soul and grace Luther Lubi...something missing completely there these days!

Very well said. And very well deserved!
And Tyler Perry❤
Beautiful voice Usher !
The White House has never had so much talent and fun the way it has these last eight years. Who and What is next.??
unfortunately not this type of stuff
Bruce Russell well, we now know what came next - America plunged back into the dark ages !
Sadly we have Trump now and the white house doesn't do things like this anymore all the fun and life has been sucked out of the white house thanks to the orange cone that is in the white house now. Such a shame! I miss the Obama's so very much!
Hell arrived the day President Obama left!!!
@@User-pk4hs this hasnt aged well
Great stuff!
Ray Charles must be smiling down on this.
Is he still alive
2:33-2:36 usher knew he’d locked that phrasing down beautiful !!
Who would have thought? VOTE OSSOF AND WARNOCK FOR SENATE
Yesssssssss 🙏🏼
Dream come true
Tears!!!! Thank You Jesus!!!! 💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙
Congratulations to the Reverend, and fingers toes and eyes crossed for Number 2.
