3. Usher
Usher Raymond has the potential to be the hottest solo artist in R&B. Equipped with a chiselled physique and the very real potential to steal your woman - this 20 year old from Tennessee has worked musical magic with producers Jermaine Dupri and BabyFace. Usher released his second album My Way in September 1997 which features the hit single You Make Me Wanna and his latest offering Nice And Slow. You Make Me Wanna reached #1 in the UK and was his first gold and certified platinum single in the US. The man can dance like Michael Jackson, oozes sex appeal and has a falsetto that is reminiscent of Prince I predict Mr Raymond will be a powerful icon in 90s R&B.
