Usher is having a great time on the recently premiered season of "The Voice" (NBC).
While it's been fun working with established coaches like Adam Levine and Blake Shelton, Usher says there have been moments where he wanted a certain contestant on his team and it just didn't work out.
"I have had a few dead and useless pitches to get a teammate. You want to be their coach, but it doesn't always work out," Usher told Jimmy Fallon on "Late Night with Jimmy Fallon."
Nonetheless, Usher says this year's pool of talent has been incredible.
"Talent has been incredible, especially my team. I'm a little biased," he laughed. "I'm really enjoying it. Tonight was incredible."
