In the summer of 2010, Usher competed in a dance battle against fellow R&B artist Chris Brown at the Reggae Sumfest.

This was further pushed by producer Jermaine Dupri alluding that the two artists may be unaware of this upcoming tour.

[5] The Dallas Morning News Mario Tarradell enjoyed the show, writing that "splash and flash are[Usher's] key ingredients.

"[6] Jim Harrington of San Jose Mercury News commended Usher's dancing ability, but criticized the show for over-using "distracting" theatrical effects, saying that "the best parts of the big-budget 'OMG' show came when the bells and whistles stopped and the fans were allowed to concentrate all their attention on Usher".

[7] The DVD of the OMG Tour was filmed on February 21, 2011, at The O2 Arena in London, directed by Dick Carruthers.
