I was watching/listening to MuchMusic where they have many music channels. Well, I was listening too the Classic R&B station. They always have information on the side about the artist or type of music.

Well they had types of music. They named some masterpieces. Off The Wall, Purple Rain, What's Goin On, Stand and so forth, you get the picture, classic R&B Albums. Then I see Usher's names with 8701 and Confessions. What dosn't belong

God, this is getting

8701 wasn't classic but it was a good album but CONFESSIONS is an ultimate classic

I actually like some of the singles from 8701. But these new ones just suck.

me 2 but calling it a classic is just crazy
frankly, im sick of the whole urshur frenzy...gets on my damn nerves

GangstaFam said:

he was actually enjoyable up until this "Confessions" BS which sounds like 8701 the sequel...just too much Usher Overkill this pat year.

GangstaFam said:

Exactly. And I would have welcomed the current Usher obsession for the last album.

CinisterCee said:

He seemed young, cool and fresh then. These new tracks are slow and dull. Plus, he's getting WAY too big for his britches.

GangstaFam said:

That's OK. I see him going mentally Mariah in a few years.

GangstaFam said:

Maybe Rhythm City will change our minds.

VoicesCarry said:

I love the use of Mariah as an adjective!

I lkiked Usher during 8701

But the Present URsher
Is crap

lost my respect as an artist

"Confessions" is garbage, 8701 & My Way are better albums but I wouldn't call them "masterpeices".

do yall know that yall are saying the same shit over and over I might as well not read the whole damn page if everyones gonna say the same shit over and over

Well, you might as well should've stayed out the thread.

Xcuse me?

That's a joke right?!?!?!?! Both comments are hilarious

no it ain't a joke

ABeautifulOne said:

So wtf are you doing here? Go away!

VoicesCarry said:

go 2 hell

GangstaFam said:

The same here. And I honestly don't think the people could listen to the "Confessions" song with a straight face in a few years. Either way, way to soon to call either a classic.

Um...these albums are not really any different than a good Jon B, Case, Jaheim, or even a Joe record. It's Usher's stablility good looks and dance movies that help him push his records also.

Anyway, I also welcomed him alot with 8701 like Cinister said, he had nice singles, he wasnt talkin shit about Madonna ("she hasnt impressed me at all" bitch what the fuck she gotta impress yo ass for, she had hits when u were still in second grade fucker... ). Confessions and Let It Burn are ok singles, but There wasnt anything danceable on the record other than "Yeah" "Caught Up" and "Red Light"..the rest of it was mid-tempo "r u cheatin" "i was cheatin" or "sex me up" jams.

u 4got Follow Me and Take Ur Hand as dance tunes but they suck a little on the end

ABeautifulOne said:

Oh yeah, sorry, I guess because they were forgettable.

they really are

If you think Cofessions is a classic you are already in hell (LOL) A CD would have to be out for a bit before someone can stamp classic on it and the public makes that decision buy continuing to purchase CD. Do you think people will still be buying Usher's cd's 10 or 20 years down the road?

No my schedules too full for me to visit hell already.ANYWHO people have made the damn decision that it was a classic the first week it was out and 8 million sold must be the truth that it is a classic

ABeautifulOne said:

Buying an album is one thing. Just because lots of people buy something doesn't instantly make it "classic". Whether people still give a fuck about it a few years down the line is another thing, and in 2-3 years I really don't think people are going to care what Usher's doing.

ABeautifulOne said:

So Britney Spears' ...Baby One More Time and N'Sync's first two records are classics because they sold millions of copies? Hmmmmm, let me think about that for a second.

NOPE!
