"OMG" is a song by American recording artist Usher. The song features will.i.am who also wrote and produced the song. It uses the auto-tune effect in several lines as well as Jock Jams-esque sports arena chanting. It was released on March 22 2010 as the first worldwide single off his sixth studio album Raymond v. Raymond and the fourth single overall following the three US singles "Papers" "Hey Daddy (Daddy's Home)" and "Lil Freak". The song was met with mixed reception from critics who criticized the use of auto-tune but commended the song's dance and club vibe.

"OMG" topped the charts in Australia Ireland New Zealand the United Kingdom and the United States. The song became his ninth number-one hit in the United States making him the first 2010s artist to collect number-one singles in three consecutive decades. He became only the fourth artist of all-time to achieve that feat. Usher also became the third artist to have at least one number-one song from five consecutive studio albums. The song's choreography and dance-heavy accompanying music video has been compared by critics to that of "Yeah!". Usher performed the song live several times including on the ninth season of American Idol with will.i.am. He also performed the song as a part of a medley during his critically acclaimed performance at the 2010 MTV Video Music Awards. "OMG" was named the fifth best selling song of 2010 selling 3.8 million units.1 The song sold 6.9 million copies worldwide during 20102

"OMG was written and produced by The Black Eyed Peas frontman will.i.am. The tune was recorded at Chung King Studios New York City. Dylan "3-D" Dresdow mixed the record at Paper V.U. Studios North Hollywood.3. The sample of a crowd shouting "owowowo" in the song was record by will.i.am from the public of the french tv program Taratata.4 "OMG" is a midtempo pop song drawing from the subgenres of dance-pop and synthpop and is also influenced by R&B.5 The song also infuses hints of Eurodance.6 Several lines feature the auto-tune effect and makes use of "hypnotic" hand claps and Jock Jams-esque arena chanting.7 The song is set in common time and has a tempo of 130 beats per minute.5 It is written in the key of E minor and Usher's vocals span from the low note of G3 to high note of E5.5 It follows the chord progression EmDBm7C6.5 According to James Reed of the Boston Globe Usher is featured in a staccato delivery over the song's minimalist dance beat."8 Will.I.Am begins the song with the line "Oh my gosh" then Usher starts singing the chorus. He performs his verse and the second chorus before will.i.am gives his verse. "OMG" concludes with an extended final chorus.5 Mikael Wood of The Los Angeles Times said that the lyrics of the song detail Usher's encounter with a woman in a club.6 Controversy

In 2010 WYOY disc jockeys compared part of Usher's verse to a song sung by Homer Simpson in "Dude Where's My Ranch" a 2003 episode of television comedy The Simpsons.9 The cadences of the line "Honey got a booty like pow pow pow. Honey got some boobies like wow oh wow" were compared to those of Simpson's tune "Christmas in December wow wow wow. Give me tons of presents now now now."1011 Simon Vozick-Levinson of Entertainment Weekly disagreed calling the likenesses "a random coincidence".12 Critical reception

The song has garnered mixed reception with most critics disapproving of the auto-tuned vocals and the production and appearance by will.i.am. Edna Gundersen of USA Today said that Usher seemed "disengaged" on the song and allowed will.i.am. to "bludgeon" the song with auto-tune.13 Greg Kot of the Chicago Tribune said the song was one of the tracks where production fell short on Raymond v. Raymond calling the song another auto-tuned "formulaic chant" by will.i.am.14 The New York Daily News said that the song is "as annoying as the tech-speak it mimics."15 Andrew Winistorfer of Prefix Magazine preferred "Lil Freak" to be the album's big single stating that the song "doesn't come close to matching the filthy heights of "Little Freak" sic but the sports arena chanting thing hasn't been done this well since the '90s when Jock Jams were enormous."16 Winistorfer also said that Usher brought back his "bad taste" in collaborators since Lil Jon on "Yeah!" saying that having the latter on this song would be an improvement.17

James Reed of the Boston Globe said that Usher "fares better" on the collaboration.8 Mikael Wood of The Los Angeles Times commended the song's "thumping" groove.6 Gail Mitchell of Billboard said that Usher "pumps up the beat on the infectious club anthem."18 Caroline Sullivan of The Guardian called the track "irresistable".19 Monica Herrera of Billboard magazine said the song like "Yeah!" appealed to a broader audience and attuned to clubs. Herrera also said that "the lyrics are hypnotic hand claps and soccer-game chants that fade in and out to keep the party going".7 Chart performance

The song debuted at number fourteen on the Billboard Hot 100 selling 130000 units in its first week.20 The song became the third-highest debut on the Billboard Hot 100 of his career behind 1997's "Nice & Slow" at number nine and 1998's "My Way" at eight.21 For the week ending May 15 2010 the song lifted to number one on the chart becoming Usher's ninth number-one single.

It really emphasizes what we love about Usher and the character and the icon that he is and most importantly its really a video that showcases his superstardom".37 The video was released on March 30 2010 on VEVO and AMTV.38 According to Mandler the original idea for the video was citing Max Headroom a fictional artificial intelligence character from 1980s British television and film.39 The reference is made when Usher is seen on a flickering television at the beginning of the video.39 Mandler specified commeintng "Max Headroom was always in his room" he continued "this unidentifiable room '80s shapes. I used that for inspiration."39 Usher stated that he wanted to do something theatrical and fun and that while will.i.am. brought the international sound he wanted to bring the producer into his world "working off of each other and playing off of each other as artists but the cinematography would be artistic and incredible."39 Mandler described the visuals in the clip as "Hitchcock-ian" as well as simply captuiring Usher in his element as he said he wanted the R&B singer's talent to take over.39 He further explained stating "The concept was to create a world where we put Usher in a space where he does what I think he does better than anyone else in the world which is perform at a level and magnitude of a superstar and take us the viewer whether audible or visually on a journey not a ride. And in that I wanted to create an unpredictability so one set leads to another and another and you never know what's gonna happen. Along the way Usher becomes our guide. We're so focused on him we don't notice the change. The thing is unfolding little A still from the video showing the first scene with Usher on a flickering television paying homage to Max Headroom by little and you can't quite see far enough ahead to know what's gonna come next."39 Synopsis and reception The video begins with Usher flickering on a television in a room before we see him in a scene dancing with blue flashing lights and will.i.am. is shown in a similar room with red flashing lights. Usher is then shown with female background dancers in a white room. In the scene he dons a pair of glasses which show the dancers performing through the lens. Usher then dances outside in front of a concrete wall with male background dancers appearing as shadows. As will.i.am. performs his verse he and Usher are seen in their corresponding rooms with flashing lights. After this Usher puffs a cigar and dances with male background dancers in an arena-like area whilst he is also joined by female dancers with flashing lights on the floor with the video ending with Usher shown on the flashing television.40 In a review of the video Brad Wete of Entertainment Weekly said "For a song with such a title it sure does take a minute for its video to build up to wow-worthy moments. After some clean dance sequences the magic begins. Usher grooves with shadows puffs out Os with cigar smoke and then links back up with his ladies on a primary colored dance floor to show off his steps."41 Chris Ryan of MTV News compared the video's flashing lights to the music video for "Yeah!" and called the song an answer track to Trey Songz's "LOL".42 At the 2010 MTV Video Music Awards the clip was nominated for Best Dance Video Best Choreography and Best Male Video.43 Live performances Usher performed the song with will.i.am. on the ninth season of American Idol appearing in a black bowler and matching black suit with silver lapels accompanied by flames and other pyrotechnics.44 They then performed the song together on The Oprah Winfrey Show on May 10 2010.45 The song has also been performed live in Australia on Hey Hey it's Saturday on May 19 2010 as well as on Sunrise on May 21 2010.46 Usher later performed the song on The Ellen DeGeneres Show So You Think You Can Dance Good Morning America and live in the United Kingdom on Britain's Got Talent.4748 On August 6 2010 he performed the song alongside other hits at his New Look Foundations inaugural World Leadership Awards in Atlanta where his protege Justin Bieber and R&B singer Ciara also performed.49 Another event the song was performed at was the Activision E3 Event.50 The song was performed alongside "DJ Got Us Fallin' in Love" during the 2010 MTV Video Music Awards.51 VMA executive producer Dave Sirulnick told MTV News "We said to him 'We want to do the best televised dance routine that you've done in years. Let's show why you're the king.'"51 MTV Buzzworthy writer Tamar Antai was present at the rehearsal for the show and commented that the VMA crew was about to "pull off visual feats not just previously unseen and unparalleled at the VMAs but unseen and unparalleled on TV."52 The performance was received with critical acclaim. On Usher specifically Antai said the performance was like "liquid magic" saying "He took it to the level that comes after the next level. The penthouse level."52 He was aided by about a dozen background dancers the males in skeleton-like costumets and the females donning a one-piece gloves and boots.53 The "OMG" performance was accompanied by red laser lights making an illusion as if the stage disappeared.43 The lights spelled out "O.M.G" as well as "Usher" as dancers lowered from the ceiling.43 Jayson Rodrgiguez of MTV News commented "The singer moved and grooved proving that he's the R&B star that everyone pays attention to for the big moments."51 Rochell D. Thomas also of the site said "Call it what you will: talent swag skills...When he steps on the dance floor some mysterious thing comes out of him and puts the G in groove."43 Thomas went on to say that Usher's dance moves would make "the late great Michael Jackson jealous" in the stage production "that included more special-effects bells and whistles than a summer blockbuster."43 Chris Ryan of MTV Buzzworthy also compared the performance to Jackson calling it overall "One part "Tron" one part laser show one part Michael Jackson choreo tribute and all spectacle."53 Usher appeared with The Black Eyed Peas to perform the song during the band's performance during the halftime show of Super Bowl XLV.
