Target Center concert Usher takes so many questions

Usher is Target Center on Saturday dazzling production, were raised in my review later after questions:

Does Usher know his audience?

When was the last time you heard a star say "demographics" in concert?

What percentage of the 14,000 at Saturday’s show witnessed Usher’s last Twin Cities gig in 2004?

Why so many costume changes? ‘Cause he’s so sweaty?

Did you really think it was cool watching Usher do pull ups?

It’s one thing to borrow dance moves from Michael Jackson, but why does Usher have to take the inspiration for his military-flavored and zipper-loving outfits from the King of Pop?

Why doesn’t Usher sing more into a handheld microphone instead of using a headset mic?

Why was opening act, Akon, more consistently fun even though he relied on AutoTune and did so many truncated treatments of songs (something like 17 tunes in 40 minutes)?

Why doesn’t Usher find a new director for his show?

Better pacing, less sexism and a smart show with more songs could be a real winner.

Now here reveal Usher’s set list:
