In the circles I moved in, neither was particularly noteworthy. Your experience may differ.

Usher had a longer career solo than Timberlake iirc. But it's been so long ago that the whole thing is a blur.

JT has had more staying power. I never hear about Usher anymore. And tbh I don't know that Usher at his peak was every as crazy as the frenzy for NSync.

But idk that for sure.

This is the opposite of reality. Back in the day, JT easier popular easily. However now, Usher is way more relevant. He's still making music and his Las Vegas residency is HUGE. Hell, his whole deal with KeKe Palmer was more newsworthy than anything JT has done (prior to appearing with NSYNC recently.)

According to my research, Usher is 5'8" and Timberlake is 5'11", making Timberlake the bigger one

And I think 'Yeah' (even if it's a collab) was the biggest song either have done solo wise. It crossed into overplayed so much on the radio it became annoying territory.

I'll admit they're a-list and had successful songs, but the "icon" word is a step beyond that (in my opinion)

I guess yeah. They're no Michael Jackson or Prince. Maybe I should've just said star.

I actually don't ever remember Usher being SUPER popular. He had a couple ok one-off songs that I recall but every one of Justin's albums seemed more like an event and I think he is more iconic all around. Plus he's still going, which, if Usher is, I'm unaware of it.

Timberlake had way more exposure throughout his career. Mousekateer, Nsync, solo career, acting career, fucking Britney Spears.

At some point everyone's had a chance to hear his name.

Justin Timberlake overall body of work post-music into film.

I would consider Usher a bigger musical icon than JT, however.
