He's got the Midas touch! Golden boy Usher showed off his moves in Venice, Calif., yesterday, when he delighted a crowd of onlookers during a commercial shoot for MasterCard's Priceless Surprise Campaign.

The 36-year-old hitmaker, who's been nominated for two Grammys this year, was decked out in an all-gold ensemble (complete with Mr. T-style gold chain) as imitated a street performer and eventually broke out in to dance in front of an audience along the boardwalk in Venice Beach.

The "My Way" singer took part in the stunt in which a lucky fan named Claire was flown out to Los Angeles under the ruse that she'd help in a documentary about her singer. But it turns out that instead of -- helping, she was starring in it!

Usher performed for the lucky lady (and a group of onlookers) and she walked away her very own pair of his golden shoes.

The music man is gearing up to release his eighth studio album, which is UR.

And check out the Grammys, airing on CBS on Feb. 8, to see if Usher's song "Good Kisser" (nominated for Best R&B Performance) or "New Flame" with Chris Brown & Rick Ross (nominated for Best R&B Song) wins big on music's biggest night.
