Macy's will have none other than freaking Usher designing their 4th of July fireworks show this year. The show is titled It Begins With a Spark, and will be, "a giant party in the sky... combining the very best of Macy's Fireworks with Usher's unparalleled artistic vision," says the show's producer.
