Is this a joke? Musicology sold about a fraction of the amount of albums as Confessions.
The world is a comedy for those who think and a tragedy for those who feel.

we've talked about the whole prince vs. usher thing.

several times.

at length.

within several threads in this forum AND over in the non-prince forum.

the only reason why we're joshin with ya is because of all that. don't take it personally. you may be new here, but there's no excuse not to perhaps backtrack through some of the older threads here.


ffs, man, when's ben gonna fix the search function 'round here???? confused

we're not bashing on prince, we're just having some fun. as far as straight-ahead sales were concerned, usher mopped the floor with prince. i don't think prince is exactly hurting after last year's tour, though.

The Usher disc certainly sold more. It sucked dog balls, but it still sold more.

Answer the REAL question: Which is the better album? Record sales does NOT gauge that and that is what matters to anyone who does not get paid from record sales - which is most people. Even Usher knows that on his BEST day he cant make an album that is better than anything Prince ever did. eek

well, because the press was making 2004 out to be prince's big year because of his tour and his RNRHOF induction, but usher was the current hot young thing...so of course, the media had to pit the two against each other. shrug

Why do people care about who the better artist is or which album is better? Isn't the "real"question what you like best? Why gave a fuck about what someone else thinks?

BECAUSE PEOPLE DO CARE AND ALWAYS HAVE - THAT IS WHAT THE OSCARS, GRAMMIES, SUPERBOWL, WORLD SERIES, OLYMPICS, THE NEXT PROMOTION AT YOUR JOB, COLLEGE EDUCATION, YOUR CREDIT SCORE, AND THE 3 LEGGED RACE AT THE CHURCH PICNIC IS ALL ABOUT--WHO OR WHAT IS THE BEST. IT IS CALLED LIFE ON EARTH - LOOK INTO IT

People look at the oscars,superbowl,olympics and other events because it is something to do. No one really cares about that stuff. How many artist have won tons of Grammies and sold millions of records only to never be heard from again.

In the long run the public decides who is talented by continuing to go to the concerts and buy the CD's 10 and 20 years down the road. I don't really see Usher having the kind of 25 year plus career that Prince has had.
