The Usher Sesame Street appearance news has many kids very excited as they look forward to the singer stopping by the show later on this week. As a kid growing up, “Sesame Street” was (and still is) one of the most entertaining yet educational shows on television. And to make the show just a little more thrilling for children to watch, various celebrities make quest appearances on the show including athletes, actors, singers and other entertainers and notable figures. R&B singer Usher has a lot on his plate at the moment in terms of his career and personal life yet he didn’t pass up the chance to engage in a little song and dance routine with Elmo, Grover and the rest of the “Sesame Street” crew. Usher Raymond will drop by “Sesame Street” on Thursday and will be adding his own flavor to the reciting of the ABCs with a song called “ABCs Are Moving You.” And considering the fact that music is his specialty, we figured Usher would have no problem at all nailing the song.

Check out the cute video clip below of Usher singing his remixed version of the ABC song with the “Sesame Street” characters:

 

 

In related news, Tia Mowry-Hardrict has headed back to her sitcom roots with her new show “Instant Mom,” which she stars in and produced. And the show already appears to be a hit among viewers.

  1. Aww that was cute!!!! Usher did a good job!!!! And I’m sooo happy for Tia! She deserves all the success she is getting!

  2. Nice!!!! I’m soo happy for Tia!!! And this is a good look for Usher. Sometimes I forget how talented he is because of all the BS going on with him and Tameka. I hope they work it out one day and can be civil parents.

  3. Great job Ursh. And I’m not surprised by Tia’s ratings. The Mowry sisters have a lot of fans. They are proof that you can be classy and still be successful. Love them both.

  4. Wait Tia has a new show? Didn’t know. I’m glad it’s doing well so far. And yeah, all the drama with Tameka and Usher does overshadow his talent. But he did a great job. I can’t even be negative.
