to Obehi: Maybe looked..if he stood at a very high point...not otherwise..Glenn is spot on right 173cm tall.Not a cm more.Thanks for great site. MD says on 18/Jun/08
Wha?! Why does that even begin to matter?
allen says on 17/Jun/08
how tall was usher when he was 12 obehi says on 7/Jun/08
I met usher yesterday, he kinda looks 5-11. C. says on 7/Apr/08
Glenn said he was 5'8" so I believe him. After all, he's the one in the photo and has seen him in person. Glenn also doesn't have 2 inches on him-- you can clearly see he's wearing a black cap that can be very misleading. brother_h says on 23/Mar/08
idk because compared to R.kelly who is 6'1, usher is only like upto his chin. that has to scream 5'6 glenn says on 22/Mar/08
usher is 5-8,5-8.5.its a photo on top.photos arnt accurate.usher is identical in height to nelly. sf says on 21/Mar/08
Usher's pushing 5'7", at best. brother_h says on 21/Mar/08
well if you think usher is 5'8 then we should say glenn is 5'9 or 5'10. and change all the other celebs to be 2 inchestaller.
ad if you dont think a 5'6 guy can say he is 5'10 then check out zac fron, i prooved he isnt 5'10 or 5'8 but 5'6 or 5'7 Andre says on 20/Feb/08
5'7 for Usher. He looks an inch shorter than Glenn in the picture, not to mention what might be in his shoes. :D. And remember that Glenn has a quite big head compared to usher small head. C. says on 22/Dec/07
Well, he's definitely going to be dwarfed next to R Kelly since he's over 6'. But 5'6"...kind of iffy. And the pic with Eisha-- are those flats? They look like they have some sort of heel or maybe I'm imagining things.
If he's 5'6", how could he get away with boosting up to 5'10" in some cases? He's famous, but I don't think a 5'6" guy could get away with that. Not to mention other singers and rappers listed at 5'6" look shorter. Always. And look at the pic above-- he's 5'8". Maybe slightly under (but his posture is a bit odd, not to mention his cap), but not 5'6". brother_h says on 20/Dec/07
5'8!!?!?!??????!?!?!?!!!!!!
NO WAY!! thats total CROCK! hes tiny compared to R kelly.
5'6-5'7. im hoping 5'6 because i always believed that. j.cr says on 30/Oct/07
hey i dunno even about 5-8'. based on that usher/eisha picture referenced below, he seems at least 4 inches shorter than her. remember she is wearing flats, and he's got 1 inch on his soles.... so I'd put him at 5-7' max, maybe even 5-6.5. don't shoot me, its just my impression of his posture, which btw isn't all that flash from most pics i've seen. coolkid says on 28/Aug/07
in that same girl video..hes with 6'1 r kelly...and hew not THAT much shorter...maybe 4 inches..but definitely not 6 inches...which is what he would be if he was indeed 5'7"..like some of u say... Dino says on 14/Aug/07
I love it! Glenns face is the SAME on every pic with every celeb! This shows you that he is up to something when he is in these pictures. LOL! david says on 6/Aug/07
i never new, i see him in music videos or pictures and i notice he is shorter then those with him, but i asumed they were people 6ft+, but hes 5.7" i never knew Anonymous says on 31/Jul/07
umm. usher 5'11 ha! thats funny. I saw him in concert and i could barely see him, hes like 5'7 w/o shoes. Anonymous9 says on 6/Jul/07
Usher is nowhere near 5' 11. 5' 8 seems to be even giving a little. Here is a pic of Usher with 5'11 Eishia Brightwell(wearing open toed slides) and she is dwarfing Usher.

Saw him backstage once and he is short. I am about 5'10 and i was much taller than him. He is around 5'7''. Guy says on 28/May/07
leonari says on 8/Apr/07
Aaron: I don't wanna insult you or your dad but: He didn't meet Usher Raymond if he thinks he is 6'1". I never read such bull****. Sorry. Usher is max!!! :5'8"...so we are talking about a five inch difference. No shoes, nor lifts nor other bull**** can increase a mans height by 5 inches...
Usher 6 feet...WHAT A JOKE!!! Your dad should get his eyes or his height or his brain checked one of these days..."
It's possible leonari. Let's say Usher is about 5 8 without shoes. He puts on regular shoes and becomes about 5 9.5 with fairly decent posture. Let's say Aaron's dad is a strong 6 1 in the morning but shrinks to around 6 feet in mid afternoon. Usher walks in with fairly good posture, while Aaron's dad is kind of hunched over from working a long day, and his dad is floating more in the 5 11 range because of this poor posture. When he stands beside a 5 9.5 looking Usher, He's going to think Usher is around his height. So it's believable.
Another example. I have an Uncle who is about 6 feet, but has horrible posture. I'm about 5 8 myself, with regular shoes I generally look about 5 9ish. When my Uncle stands next to me, he looks only about an inch or two taller at best. The man is a strong 6 footer though.
So posture has alot to do with it. Most people, unless they really scrutinize and examine people a lot, are barely going to notice the difference in height between two people unless it's well over 2 inches. And when when you factor in additional things like posture, shoes, body type, spinal compression and what not, it can be really hard to tell if a person is taller or shorter than another - unless you measure them both barefoot first thing in the morning. antron says on 4/May/07
Leonari told me to f-off on Rob Schneider's page; I had told him not to call Schneider a midget, it's insulting. I guess Leo just has a short fuse. Oh well. Aaron says on 11/Apr/07
I just said it was weird. I didn't say that I think Usher is as tall as my dad, who is over 6'. I just said I thought it was weird. But it's pretty likely that it was Usher, b/c my dad is a doctor and Usher brought his pregnant wife-to-be to see my dad who is an ob/gyn. I asked my dad about his height cuz I'm pretty obsessed with people's height (don't ask me why). My dad even got him to give me his autograph, so I think it's pretty unlikely that an impersonator would lie in a hospital setting with a doctor, especially when there are records kept and everything. So it definitely was Usher. I'll have to ask my dad again. Maybe he or I was mistaken. Thanks for having my back MD. 'Preciate ya. glenn says on 9/Apr/07
i agree leanari can get a little too passionate at times,but that was ridiculous.beyond belief. MD says on 9/Apr/07
He just threw it out there. He wasn't advocating taller than 5'8". He seemed very cautious, and then you go and over-react with your rude and insulting comments. Give it a rest, dude. leonari says on 9/Apr/07
MD:Oh please! I think it's accepted that Usher is no more than 5'8". Now to post a height so ridiculous and absurd I had to speak my mind. It's ridiculous!! MD says on 8/Apr/07
Leonari, that was rude and insulting. You could have easily just said his dad was a poor judge of height with all of the "bullshit" and ending with an insult. leonari says on 8/Apr/07
Aaron: I don't wanna insult you or your dad but: He didn't meet Usher Raymond if he thinks he is 6'1". I never read such bullshit. Sorry. Usher is max!!! :5'8"...so we are talking about a five inch difference. No shoes, nor lifts nor other bullshit can increase a mans height by 5 inches...
Usher 6 feet...WHAT A JOKE!!! Your dad should get his eyes or his height or his brain checked one of these days... Aaron says on 7/Apr/07
Okay, this is weird my dad met usher the other day, and I asked my dad if Usher was as small as everyone says he is, cause I remember seeing this page and seeing Usher listed at 5'8. However my dad said that he was about as tall as him and my dad is 6'.5", easily 6'1" with his shoes on, so I find that very strange thatt he said that Usher was almost as tall as him. Maybe my dad is a bad judge of height or something. Who knows? Just thought that was weird how someone who is 6'1 could think a person who is 5'8 to be as tall as him, but in that picture with glenn, Usher def looks 5'8 considering that he is slouching somewhat and glenn is standing pretty straight. Just thought I'd share that crazy little story. leonari says on 20/Feb/07
almost 5"8"...not quite.thats his morning height guys... ku says on 1/Jan/07
yeah thats about right cuz i went to his wax image at madame tousodes or w/e and i'm 5'9" and he was def. a good inch shorter than me. CR says on 25/Oct/06
Usher is about 5'7-5'8 because im 5'10 and when i went to see his play Chicago I was looking right at him and I had at least 2 inches on him, but still a cool guy. His bodyguard is tall, around like 6'2. Jon Corban (jonCorban.com) aka Jon Corban couture Hats NYC says on 14/Sep/06
I saw usher for the first time in nyc, last night at plumm! yupp! im 5'8, he seemed like he was atleast an inche shorter then me...and that is an honest truth :-)
Click Here newly launched hat line in nyc! check it! sf says on 7/Sep/06
Yea, I think Usher's got everyone fooled. Probably not even 5'7". MD says on 6/Sep/06
Thanks, Shredder. Is the 6'2" in shoes, though? Even so, Usher is looking tiny, here. the shredder says on 5/Sep/06
ive met Ray Nagin SO many times that i can't even count !!! ... he IS 6'2 , looks it , and told me himself that he is 6'2 !!! i also have a few pics with him !!! i also saw lil wayne recently ! he is looking 5'5ish ! Kreate says on 2/Sep/06
Usher is definetely 5'7.5, im 5'9 and shook his hand looking closer to his forhead at his play on broadway in CHI-town. AK says on 15/Aug/06
in the elevator with him yesterday, definitely shorter than 5'8'. MD says on 28/Jul/06
And, Fabolous is 5'11" Neezzzie says on 13/May/06
Yea that's about right 5'8.. 5'8 1/2" I saw him up at the mall I work at in Cleveland... And he didn't stand too much taller than me.. and I'm 5'7" Viper652 says on 13/Apr/06
Usher looks to be 5-7 at best in nearly every pic. There is also an interesting pic on wireimage with 5-9 baseball player Orlando Cabrerra, and Orlando has a good 3-4 inches on him. Could he be shorter then 5-7? leon Gelernter says on 30/Mar/06
Rob:How much evidence do you need ?? This guy is barely 5'8"...Closer to 5'7". Good body proportions though. TallJohn says on 7/Mar/06
That Usher /Whitney Houston thing doesnt really prove anything since its a bit blurry and they never stand next to each other straight. They were both jumping a lot. Mya looked hot btw. Usher's Wifey says on 1/Mar/06
Usher is about 5'9'' because I am 5'8'' and when I met him, he was an inch taller than me! Get it together guys! Man says on 1/Mar/06
If you saw MJ's anniversayr special, Usher performed alongside 5'8 Whitney Houston. Whitney ALWAYS wears hears, and that night was no exception. If Whitney is 5'11 with heals, Usher looked an inche shorter than her. So 5'10 with shoes and 5'9 bare may indeed be true. But it depends of how you see it, neither remain stil, and the camera angle keeps changing.
Check it out: http://youtube.com/watch?v=wR5Tk9DdZc4
PS. After seeing Whitney in that performance, DONT DO DRUGS! Just Blaze says on 6/Feb/06
i met him, he is 5'9" bcoz we have the same height. Living Shoe Lift says on 27/Jan/06
Beyonce is taller in heels. What more proof do we need? sf says on 25/Jan/06
or maybe usher's wearing lifts??? No way he's 5'8"... Kalvin says on 25/Jan/06
Usher looks 5'7.5" dead on possible 5'8" no more than that tho pup says on 14/Jan/06
usher just came into our restaraunt garrison's tonight in atlanta... i am 6' and i dwarfed him - he is about 5-8 at most! MD says on 10/Jan/06
Is the photos enough proof to bring him down at least half-an-inch, Editor Rob? CoolJ says on 2/Jan/06
I think if they straighten up they are about the same... The pics with Keion Carpenter IMO prove Usher is not 5'9.. and 5'8.5 looks shaky...
He's probably around 5'8.. perhaps he's 173. MD says on 1/Jan/06
Well, that and you can't make out the top of his head through the hate seeing as how it's the same color as the background. Even if a little slumped, I think this shows he's not a full 5'8.5" elio says on 1/Jan/06
From that pic, Glenn looks taller. Perhaps it's the angle. Glenn says on 1/Jan/06
wheres your picture? MD (the original) says on 30/Dec/05
Not the best picture, but he still looks 5'8" at best. MD says on 16/Nov/05
Chris- You said Bow Wow is 5'7, how tall you think his girlfriend ciara is, 6'0? And to CoolJ, there is a picture of Ciara standing next to Usher and we all know that Ciara is really tall but not 6'0. The picture show that ciara is about the same height as Usher with hills on. Cris says on 15/Nov/05
I'm 5'8
Usher is 5'10
Bow Wow is 5'7
Bobby Valentino is the shortest grown non-midget man I have ever met Tony says on 28/Oct/05
Usher is probably 5'7'' max. I've seen him standing next to Oprah when she was wearing heels (she's around 5'6'' without heels, I belive) and he was a little shorter than her. MD says on 22/Oct/05
Thanks for the picture Leonari. This current height is has been bothering me, because it is obviously wrong. :) MD says on 21/Oct/05
If you really want my opinion, yes. Not only is Agassi bent, but Usher has on a sizeable hate which can actually give an impression of taller height. Take off Ushers' hate and unbend Agassi, and the difference would be more noticable. Please look down at the last picture I posted, as well, with Kanye West.
I think even with Kanye's leaning posture in that picture, one thing is clear: either Kanye isn't 5'8.5" (because he's as tall as Usher stooped), or Usher isn't 5'8.5". They are not both the same height, that much is clear, so one has to be upgraded and the other downgraded. CoolJ says on 21/Oct/05
Rob, Looks to be a solid 3-3.5" difference in that picture to me! CoolJ says on 19/Oct/05
I'm not sure Usher is as low as 5'7" But I am convinced he's around 5'8" at best. I think he can safely go down 1-2cm. smokeblower says on 15/Oct/05
MD, that picture of Usher with Kanye West Stooping in conjunction with the pictures of Usher with football player Allen Rossum definitely points to the possibility that Usher may be barely 5'7", at best. some guy says on 10/Oct/05
Yes Mr. Editor i do believe MD is right this guy should be brought down to at least 5'7 1/2. I also wanna bring up another topic "Kanye West". He is also another one of those guys given alot of credit. I really think he's short. What do u guys think? MD says on 9/Oct/05
Rob, are you convinced yet? MD says on 25/Sep/05
Yes, please bring him down at least and inch. It's pretty obvious now. someone says on 24/Sep/05
usher has got to be under 5'7, because he took a pic with ciara (who is 5'7.5) and he was about an inch shorter than her. CoolJ says on 26/Jul/05
Doesn't 5074 = 5'7 4/8 = 5'7 1/2? smokeblower says on 25/Jul/05
Deangelo Hall is a combine 5'10". He was listed at 5'11" when he attended va tech. Allen Rossum is officially listed at 5074. A little short of 5' 7 1/2".
Viper652 says on 25/Jul/05
It seems like he would be 4 inches taller then Cruise. I never doubted the 5-11 listing before because it seems like he has a long body and longer legs. J. says on 24/Jul/05
Wow, the picture with Holmes/Rossum reveals a lot. That picture reveals that Usher at his tallest would be JUST reaching the 5'8" mark. So he's now offically proven to be in the 5'7"- 5'8". Wow, I'm suprised to see how shrimpy the kid is. CoolJ says on 24/Jul/05
Wow.. I think 174cm is still being generous to Usher judging by the pic next to Carpenter.
[Editor Rob: I'm looking at both angles and considering the Rossum picture - who is closer to camera and was measured at a few mm shy of 5ft 7.5 inches - I still think 173-174 is his range...] Ricardo says on 24/Jul/05
I think i'm starting to beleive that Usher is a more hilarious Tom Cruise. From the pictures i am seeing I think both are around 5'7" but at least the tallest Tom ever claimed was 5'9". Usher 5'11" in whose dream!!!??? maybe standing on a stage! Their must be a word for people who say they are 4 inches taller than they really are... liars! CoolJ says on 21/Jul/05
Rossum is at 5'7 1/2" officially while DeAngelo is 5'10 even. I would love to see that picture as well. smokeblower says on 14/Jul/05
In a black-tie affair Usher took a picture with Allen Rossum, pro bowl return man from the Atlanta Falcons. In the picture Allen Rossum is about 1/2 an inch to an inch taller than Usher. Allen Rossum is a combine 5'7". This is Allens height without shoes. Also in the picture is DeAngelo Hall, 2004 first round draft pick of the Atlanta Falcons. He is a combine 5'10" and his eye level is above Usher's head. Usher is no where close to 5'8". Rob please change this.
[Editor Rob: by all means, if somebody can track down that picture it would be great...as always comparing against measured sports guys is good ;)] MD says on 30/Jun/05
It's quite well known that in regular shoes Usher is around 5'8" (but no taller), and that he's probably 5'7" in barefeet, and possibly 5'9" in 'special' shoes. CelebHeights Editor says on 30/Jun/05
Saw an interesting tidbit from British Singer Zena. "When I met him (Usher), it was a bit disappointing; I had my heels on and I was taller than him! I’m 5ft 8in, and the shoes would’ve made me 5ft 10in! I felt like a giant because he is pretty small! I was like “aww!”" ... says on 11/Jun/05
he would be in the 5'7 to 5'9 range. when he was dating naomi she would tower over him and she is like 5'9.5 - 5'10 (but then again she does wear heels.) smokeblower says on 10/Jun/05
In a photo with baseball player Orlando Cabrera, which can be viewed at wireimage.com, Usher looks a good 5 inches shorter than Orlando Cabrera. The pecuiliar thing is Orland is listed anywhere from 5-9 to 5-10, making Usher 5-5.
Come on Rob give us some good info. 5-8 for Usher is way too tall. Smoke says on 1/May/05
Ah my my good buddy smokeblower is back! Great to see! If you have ever noticed, I tend to try to either my estimate on people who I have met, or give an estimate based on comparison to a celebrity that I have indeed met. Stiller has always been listed at 5'8", I agree with the editor that he is around 5'7".5", maybe 5'7" exactly, it is possible he is shorter but again, from what I have seen, and apparently the editor as well, it is hard to see him being under this. My friend also, yes there are many short people in Hollywood, but to lable it "the world of short people" isn't quite being fair to the many tell men and women there. Yes a lot of male and female celebrities lie about and exagerrate their heights, but there are many tall, and honest celebs out there as well. Also, 5'7" would not be borderline average height, I don't know exactly what average height is in the USA, but statistics have it as 177 cm (5'9".75") for men, and just about 5'4" for women. Ben Stiller is indeed short, not borderline average, but he still 5'7"-5'8". Usher Raymond is also indeed a guy on the shorter side of things, I'm not sure if this will prove your point smokeblower, but here's Usher with 6'1" (met him and he is just about this) Hayden Christiansen. He looks short next to Hayden, but I don't know if he looks 5'7".

Yeah 'cause Ben Stiller is totally shorter than 5'7". That's just so obvious. smokeblower says on 1/May/05
Smoke, has it ever occurred to you that Stiller is not 5'7". 5'7" is boarderline average height. He looks short in Hollywood, a world of short people. Like I have been trying to tell you and everyone else on this board, you cannot accurately predict someone's height if the you do not know the height of the person you are comparing them to. There is no way ben stiller is 5'7". he is short around short people. Thascia says on 27/Apr/05
Got another picture of me and Usher at a club in Boston. I'm 5'5" and he is only slightly taller. smokeblower says on 21/Apr/05
How do you figure he's 5'7" from that pic? If Stiller is 5'7.5", and in dress shoes, and Usher is 5'9" and in flats, there would be roughly 1.5 inches between them. That pic still suggests Usher is in
the neighbourhood of 5'9".
That is silly. You should work for the Bush Administration with all your "what ifs" and "smoke"screens.
Usher is unequivically short.

The most recent people magazine has a picture of Usher and his new, taller girlfriend who is listed at 6'1". The article says that he is 5'9" - which I think is generous considering his new woman towers over him in the picture. Check it out. J. says on 7/Apr/05
I finally find an article about Usher where a height is mentioned!
(http://www.teenmusic.com/d.asp?r=63617)
"``I cheat a lot'' _ on the stringent diet of fish, chicken, broccoli and other greens that keeps the 5-foot-9-inch, 169-pound R&B singer's famous abs looking so good."
Yeah, Usher does look to be struggling with the 5'9" although he does look around that mark. Mr. R says on 14/Mar/05
Usher is definitely not 5'11". As he started to get big, he was on the soap opera The Bold and the Beautiful. Compared to some of the other characters, I figured him to be 5'8". marc williams says on 18/Feb/05
