Usher is very very very underrated. Its sad that he is reduced to a B list star now. He was the biggest Black current pop star last decade.

Usher is a good vocalist, dancer and his first four albums were very great urban R&B/soul albums, but I haven't really dug more than a few of his songs in 13 years, and my favorite song by him since then has t even been released commercially (Be). Bit to ea h their own, he is talented and has proved it, just wish he'd get off the club music stuff.

Agreed. Not a huge fan, but he is a pro.

I will give props to Kels razz R. Kelly has a stronger disography than Usher and has more classics but Usher had a pretty good run too. His debut up until Confessions was solid IMO. He made really good pop R&B albums. Usher is very underrated. His disography is stronger than most of his peers and definitly in the POP/R&B category.

I haven't like an Usher album since Confessions. He might have 2 songs per album since Confessions that are worth a second listen.

His peers are people like Joe and Ginuwine. I'd listen to their current stuff before Errsha anyday.

I agree Usher's music has REALLY fell off since Confessions which is a ashame because he use to be a really good R&B artist. I would say in the 90s up until 2004, Usher was the strongest out of them. Musically, Joe and Ginuwine currently has more quality output.

Errsha ain't fell off, he's just trying to stay current. So he's trying to keep up with Trey Songz and Chris Browns of the world.
He's doing a song called No Limit, I got that Master P. Really dude you're about to be 40.

Maybe I could have used a different choice of words but that is what I meant. He has it in him to do better but he is following trends. I really wish he would stop chasing radio hits and really make a good R&B album.

R. Kelly's Christmas album was better than Ursh's last 3 albums. Take away the "Christmas" theme, and it's basically "Write Me Back Part II". Sheeitt, Kells probably has an entire Usher album in his vault from like 2005 lol.

I believe it! People can say what they want about R. Kelly but he can write a great R&B album when he puts his mind too it.
