Usher (in which i think is the most pig-headed celebrity out there) reps MJ always. He relicated Michael. But on his new album "Confessions" track 15 entitled "Do It To Me" sounds an awful lot like Prince's "The Beautiful Ones" has anyone heard it? if you haven't, i def. recommend listening to it and rate it here 4 me.. stank u very much :smooch: * Yes, I noticed as soon as the album came out that Usher steals the music to the Beautiful Ones for this song. And therefore, I actually cannot listen to this song -- lest I seethe with so much anger that I combust! * Why be angry? Isn't it just a sample? Well, Usher sure as hell doesn't give Prince credits in the liner notes. It's as if the music is orginal. That's morally reprehensible. And it actually doesn't sound like a sample to me. It sounds like a near copy but with something missing -- like that Vanilla Ice-Rick James shit. I've prayed for Prince to sue Usher over this. The music is so moving, I'd hate for someone to relate it simply to that Usher song. * Anyway, glad you brought this up ... even though some have misunderstood the angle of the thread and think you're comparising Usher to PRince  | |

and thank u 4 reading being the misunderstanding. am not trying to compare Usher 2 Prince, in which there is really no comparision 2 look apon. Without Prince, there would b no Usher, there would b no Alicia Keys, Maxwell, even Lenny Kravitz 4 that matter. But then again, there would b no Prince if it weren't 4 Sly, James, and Hendrix.
In Usher's liner notes, he fails 2 give credit 2 P. I just felt like pointing out 2 the org that this is what Prince is trying 2 tell us throughout his whole Musicology tour. Give credit where credit is due. Real musicians make their own music. They don't sample. If ever wanted or desired 2 listen 2 Usher, would much rather hear what he's got going on creatively in his own mind, not Prince's. 've already heard The Beautiful Ones, don't need 2 hear it's beat with shitty lyrics thrown on top of it. This is the point am simply trying 2 make.
Thank U peace n b wild! | |

I didn't notice the riff until you guys mentioned it. That is criminal what he did to the song. I skipped all of the songs I did not like. Hell I didn't know Usher had that many tracks on his album. Glad I didn't buy it! Wanted: Virtual Sugar Daddy to help me buy stuff on Farmville and move up the ranks. Use of Viagra not authorized. Get your two minutes and go! | |

Some1 hook me up 2a respirator... u can't sample that song... u just can't... it's 2 big a feat... 
Damn rookie 2 funk... i haven't heard "his version" but still the question remains y make music any worse & sample...? Everything becomes comparable & repetitive when u do. People should stick 2cre8ing their own things... even if they do suck in the end hehe…

Thank U I have to ask this question - you have so many 'eyeballs' in this post....how many more keystrokes does it take to generate that, rather than typing 'I' and WHY does ANYONE (besides Prince) do it?? ":eye:"' can't believe some people.... | |

After the VMAs I went to our church. I'm not a spiritual guy, but I felt that I had to go and the priest said to me, "You don't have to be afraid to watch MTV, its alright. But beware, there is one thing that will bring you straight to the gates of hell. Never - never ever son start listening to Usher."

My favorite on the album is "Throwback" and "Superstar". They are r&b at its best (to me anyway). I think that his album is great. It's not the best I've ever bought, but it is good. **--••--**--••**--••--**--••**--••--**--••**--••-

Usher is mediocre. The fact that he sells so much tells me about the power of knowing the right people in the business and that most people who listen to radio take it seriously.
He's done a couple of songs that are cool but please. If Usher did a poor tribute to Prince all I can say is that he has good taste. But I don't care for his latest wack songs about dysfunctional relationships, his stupid outfits or his contrived dance routines. I agree with most that he shouldn't even be mentioned on the same board with Prince but this is the thing that P has been critical of all along. Talentless people like Usher convincing others that he is an artist because he sells a lot..... That's my short-end rant on Usher. He never did anything to me but messing up a Prince song is bad.
