Usher Asked Everyone Not to Judge Michael

R&B singer Usher asked people not to judge Michael too quickly.

“Don’t judge. Judging is not our job. This is the media’s problem these days. Why is it that whenever you turn on the TV, you only hear negative news? Is it because only negative news exists, or is it because that’s all they want you to see?

Bad news is very entertaining, but since people teach each other to learn from our mistakes and move forward, maybe this way our world could become better.”

Usher himself was a star since childhood. At the age of 13, after winning Star Search in a showcase performance, he became famous. So he is familiar with all the pressures that come with being a child star, and—by chance—he has refrained from judging Michael.
