Usher and Justin Timberlake draw a lot of comparisons &#8230; but Usher says he&#8217;s got a leg up on his counterpart &#8212; &#8217;cause he beat him in a Justin Bieber bidding war.
The singer-songwriter revealed in an interview with People that, way back in 2008, he met Bieber and Scooter Braun and offered to bring JB onto his record label &#8230; but first, he said he had to pull out a thicker wad of cash than Timberlake.

Usher said he also used Timberlake&#8217;s name against him, telling Justin that &#8212; if he went with Usher &#8212; he&#8217;d be the only Justin around.
Seems like the war didn&#8217;t get too contentious &#8230; Usher doesn&#8217;t say anything negative about Timberlake in the interview &#8212; and actually compliments the guy tons.

Usher said he and Justin are both unique artists, and he loves the producers Timberlake chooses to work with &#8230; adding he even wants to collaborate on an album with the former *NSYNC star.
He finished off by saying he&#8217;s motivated by people like Timberlake who &#8220;should be recognized for who he is and what his contribution has been.&#8221;

Of course, Usher was recognized for his contribution to music by headlining the Super Bowl Halftime show &#8230; one which his protege decided to skip out on.
We broke the story &#8230; Usher reached out to Bieber directly to get him to join him for his big performance &#8212; but, while Alicia Keys, Ludacris and Lil Jon all hopped onstage with him, Justin decided to sit in his suite and spectate.

No bad blood between the two though &#8230; &#8217;cause Usher said in an interview earlier this week that &#8220;he&#8217;s just wanting to tell a different story right now, and I understand that.&#8221;
Bottom line &#8230; Usher won the biggest auction of his life &#8212; and ya gotta wonder how Justin Timberlake feels about it.
