let's face it, give the man his props, he caught lightning in a bottle and is having a great run at it ...but you know the end is coming. Spice Girls, Hootie and the Blowfish, N'Sync, New Kids On The Block...fan favs today, poof tomorrow...so how long before he's on the downswing? this year, next year, 2008?

It started here...long ago. The rest of the world will catch up soon enough.

Usher so reminds me of Bobby brown it is uncanny. I loved Bobby and still do.....maybe Usher will marry someone famous?

Janet?
Mariah?

"Yeah" was the most played song on the radio in 2004. It was played 496,805 times.

I agree. I mean, really, he didn't even sell 10 million and people are putting him in the Prince/MJ echelon. His career resembles Bobby's in the late 80's more than Prince's or MJ's. I don't hate him, but durn.

Plus, as I hear it he is from Chattanooga, TN, not Atlanta.

When does his gay sex tape with Justin Timberlake and P. Diddy leak?

What's the deal with the sex video with Usher and two women? I'm thinking it was purposely leaked to try and squash those gay rumors.

sextonseven said:

No one's seen it as far as I know. Sounds like they just planted the rumor, but didn't actually leak a tape.

The day I first saw an Usher Raymond video was the day the backlash began for me. I think it was Thinking of You and in an early interview he came across so cocky it was a turn off. Not much has changed.

Supposedly he's dating/boinking Naomi Campbell but I've never actually seen them together.

VoicesCarry said:

I just downloaded it off KaZaa.

Hope the backlash begins soon , hate him

VoicesCarry said:

Let me know.

I assure it will begin when he starts getting movie roles. He tried acting before and was medicore and now he will fail!

Plot Outline: An R&B singer from the streets finds his path in life through his music.

He tried some more acting legs in his "Rhythm City" special on MTV last night. It was an hour of cheesiness, at it's best.

Hell, I'd go as far as to say J-Lo's Making the Video was more interesting then that. Maceo's horn is growing on me!

VoicesCarry said:

That's something that makes me look forward to thsi year. According to mommy this was the year of acting...and that sounds like some gem. Too bad I missed "Shitty City". Let the backlash begin. And if that thing is even a moderate hit, there is not God!

VoicesCarry said:

Okay!!! put all of their shit on blast.....

Is there anything we can do to speed up the backlash?

VoicesCarry said:

Credited cast:
Usher Raymond .... Darrell Williams

Is he playing MJ's character Darrell from "Bad"?

LMFAO @ "Sh*tty CITY" AHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!

That made me laugh so hard!

JANFAN4L said:

That would be a good title.

As soon as he comes out as gay.

Oh wait, somebody beat me to it.

Who knows, maybe that will be the start of his comeback someday.

Aint no way its over yet.. he's too hot.. I really do believe anything he throws out for the next year or two will be hot regardless



after that we will see.
