Which both sound like outtakes from Jagged Edge to me.

He's shit, plain & simple. R&B Pop/Pap at it's worst
I had the misfortune of seeing him on MTV for 5 minutes a month or 2 ago & in the interview he said that "you never know, my new album could sell more than Thriller"! What an idiot.
He might have to write a decent song first - I have yet to hear even a half decent song come from his mouth.

Yep. They both sound like Let's Get Married.

I think he dances good, but NONE of his songs apeal to me and as many of you have mentioned, he is just another bad impersonator of MJ. Same with justin. I can't see talent in them except they can move a little bit.

well atleast usher admits he likes Michael.

Justin said, I'm gonna quote him;

" It was good to see some of my idols become completely mad."
" Evrything about him is weird "
" Industry has consumed him "

Shut the fuck up already! Without that "mad" guy you would be nothing asshole .

no prob

His appeal is that todays young record buyers have a sorry-ass selection
to choose from...

Usher sucks!!Justin sucks!!They are one and the same!But,at least,Justin has had a catchy song or 2.Usher is just a damned diva punkass!!What a cocky twit!

Furthermore,Usher's much celebrated dance moves are stuff I do when I'm drunk off my ass and goofing around with the pop-lock-mj-robot vibe .I can't belive he gets paid millions for what I do in jest.Hmmm...maybe that's the joke.

i never understood that logic....i like songs now harder and faster than i did as a teen so its not that i dont get todays music..could it just be that most of today's music is just shit? and have nothing to do with age?

he's hot. but beyond that, ya got me....

rockwilder said:

That's kinda what I was thinking...every lil young black dude can dance like him. What's the big deal, it's nothing new at all.

His success doesn't escape me considering the zeitgeist.

But he sure is one ignorant jackass.

LightOfArt said:

"mad"... as in crazy? i doubt he'd use that term, being American.

but anyway, is anything he said in those quotes incorrect?

AMEN!!!! I agree one thousand percent. It makes me glad I'm 36.

I replied while ago but I like your reply better. I like my songs harder and faster too and definitely agree that most of today's music is just shit.

I disagree with it having nothing to do with age. That's all young people know is midtempo music. It has dominated music for almost 15 years. People blame computers on young people being more overweight than they have ever been. I blame it on the music. It's not fast enough to shake the fat off their asses. Sure, every now and then someone samples "Planet Rock" or "Egypt, Egypt" and makes a new fast song. I used to like it in the beginning but it gets boring after awhile. Give me something new, fast, funky, and unsampled.

Kids rule the world, that's all...

i am down with those that don't get his appeal either. For me he is something in the mould of Michael jackson, and i even think i saw a promo 4 one of his gigs where he is sporting a glove like MJ did back on the Dangerous tour opener Like justin timberlake, Usher seems to me like a Michael Jackson for today's youth, only nowhere near as good, but still decent enough at times to listen to or watch.

oh yeah, and there ain't nothing unique about him. He, along with Justin Timberlake, just don't have that x-factor that would see them going on for over 20 years in this industry (ofcourse i could b proven wrong, i'll admit). But these critters just don't have that something that MJ, Prince, Stevie Wonder etc had.

Here's the deal. Take that "Burn" vid, and you could take a number of "artists" and put them in that vid and it would still end up good (that is if you think it's good). But take someone to do Billy Jean, or P's Kiss, and it all ends up in shambles for the most part.

Get the point? Good. Let's dance:)

i would explain it if i understood it myself

ahhh, but can u do the pivot on one leg, like i can when i am pissed?

When i have a few drinks i can write, and compose some mad tunes. For instance i came up with "Yeah" and "Burn" while having a few shots of vodka.....hrmm hold on.....my memory is not that good.....with "Burn" it was a different story. I came up with that while doing a crap. I actually wrote it on the two bits of paper left after i wiped my ass. It all took me about 2 minutes. So that's two pieces of crap in 2 minutes. Not bad, eh?))

me neither

i remember in the 80's music,television,movies always used to aim for the 25-40 demographic because they had more money to spend on things...when did that all change to like 12-18? it seems that is the target audience for everything nowadats
