I have proof that Usher is 5'8" MAX. He was on Ellen the other day and Ellen is listed on this site at 5'7". Usher had no more than one inch on Ellen if not less. He's 5'8" MAX and here's the clip(just wait till usher comes out). Click Here

I think he wears lifts/elevators sometimes because most of the time he looks 5'8", but then on some rare occasions he'll magically look around 5'10". Anonymous says on 12/Sep/09

No way Usher is 5'10", he's 5'8.5" at best, and that's being generous. kotoben says on 31/Jul/09
I was watching the show broadcasted on Korean TV and on the show usher stood next to the two Korean show hosts--A Korean singer Lee Hyun-woo who is a legit 5'10'' (178cm) and Korean pianist Kim Kwang-min who's 5'8''(shorter one).
I've been lived in Korea and this singer, Lee, was well known for his rather handsome height for Asian male (5'10' or 5'11'' was considered kind of tall in Korea those days).
Click Here
If you enlarge the picture, you'll see that Usher is no smaller than this Korean singer(Lee)-- I think both of them are almost the same height -178cm. Right after the short interview with Lee, usher got into his performance right away and you could see his ordinary, plain sneakers -- and there'd have been no way for usher doing all his crazy dancings if he had put any kind of lift in his sneakers, I think. kotoben says on 31/Jul/09

Just was looking up Ludicrous height b/c he looked short at the obama & press thing this weekend and wound up back here. Just reading all this stuff posted since my post forever ago. Funny. Really people, Usher is 5'6" or maybe 5'7" at best. Hate to disappoint. Remember shoes always make a difference as MD pointed out. Unless you have actually stood next to him yourself (and i mean right next to him) you are really just guessing. C Man says on 3/May/09
Yeah he's probably around 5'8 - 5'9
He looks taller though coz he has a very fit body so he is well-proportioned
His height shouldn't matter too much though MarcusTheSwede says on 22/Apr/09

Good stuff MD. Usher don’t look much taller than Pete Wentz who is a midget. MD says on 17/Feb/09
Now, here Usher is with Pete Wentz given 5'6.5", here. Pete is in thin-soled shoes (the other pics in the series show this), and we can assume that Usher is in dress shoes. So, given that, is Pete much taller than listed or is Usher the weakest 5'8" I've ever seen?

Listen to me people, I saw usher a couple of years ago at Canada's Wonderland. When he walked to the front of the line for the ride with his security he was so tiny you could barely even see him, and his security guys were not even that tall, they were all around 6'0-6'3ish but they were VERY chunky lol...

I saw him at the mall once, and he was shorter than I thought he would be. So 5'8 seems right. anonymous says on 27/Nov/08
No way is he ever 6 foot 1 and 2. I use to think he was at least 5 foot 9 but when he went on oprah he was slightly shorter than her in heels. In the video clip my boo he was a couple of inches taller than 5 foot 5 alicia keys with heels on. I would say 5 foot 8-9. madison says on 22/Nov/08
No, usher can't be that short! I was looking at some pictures from the victoria's secret fashion show, and he was standing nxt to 5'10 adriana lima who was in at least 4 inch heels! and he waslike the same height! So he's probably a good 6'1 or 6'2. Andre says on 28/Aug/08

Funny you should ask his question. Just like the earlier poster I saw him. I get a kick out of this since he was at walmart buying lunch meat. I had ordered quite a few items and he came over and asked for ham and they told him it would be a little while. I sw this guy but wasn't sure it was him b/c he was SHORT. he came back close to ten minutes later and they were still cutting my order (you know how slow walmart ppl are) and sure enough it was him. I'm 5'9" and I was a good deal taller. My guess was 5'6" maybe 5'5. As i was paying and checking out he was leaving the store and my wife noticed him and so did the cashier. Both remarked "wow, there's Usher" Definately him and definately short. Mr. R says on 31/Jul/08
Usher is 5-9 on a VERY good day. He is a little shorter than this. Rikashiku says on 31/Jul/08

He's in the 5'8'' - 5'10'' range. I'd give him 5'9'' (175 cm). But still, he's short... But a damn good singer! Kira says on 20/Jul/08
Okay... I met Usher at Woodbury Commons, NY this past weekend... And he is only an inch or 2 MAX taller than me and I am 5'4!!!!!! He is very SHORT and very skinny. In pictures and videos he only looks more bulked up because of how short he is. And he only looks so tall because of the camera angles. I was completely shocked because I swore he was taller than that. His face does look exactly the same though. obehi says on 14/Jul/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

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

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

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.

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

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".
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!

"``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
assuming Mick Jagger is 5ft 10 |
