All these years...and still fine as ever!

I am talking about some male celebs.  There are some who age gracefully and step so naturally into life stages and others who, well, look like I do at 5am, lol! I have decided to start a weekly tribute to those men who I liked at 15, 25 and probably will forever.  Let's get this started!

The first man to hit this list would be the oh, so smooth and good looking, Usher.  ::swoooooon::

I remember first knowing of Usher via his voice and had not yet been subject to his oh so amazing looks.  I must have been all of 16 when I heard You Make Me Wanna on the radio.  I promptly went down to the music store (yes, that long ago) and bought the single. 

Since this was the era of MTV, I would go to my friend's house after school (we did not have cable until AFTER I left for college - coincidence, I think not) and watch the video on TRL.  Seriously, it should be a crime for a person to have that good a voice, that great a body AND still be able to dance.  Not just dance like most of the boy bands of that era attempted to dance, but really DANCE.  I was a loyal Usher fan and remember having Noelle - just an infant at the time - riding along in the back seat as I belted out U Don't Have to Call (the great Usher may be excused from my complete hatred of replacing the word you with just the letter u). 

And now, well, now Usher is dignified and mature.  He is still very good looking and - based on his recent SYTYCD performance, is still an amazing dancer and performer.  I am obsessed with the OMG song (which I downloaded -- see I am hip!) and belt that out at every chance possible. 

Ahhhh, Usher.  Keep it going man.  Keep it going.
