Yeah, co-sign times ten million, add to those facts 3 things:

1)Radio overdid Usher's shit around that time. "Yeah" was played 100000 times a day. Ick.

2)Usher acted way too cocky.

3)Critics overstated his talent. He wasn't as good as critics made him out to be around that time. Him, not being back on top is might be evidence the public finally caught on. He isn't the NEXT Michael Jackson, like he was hyped as being. If anything, he is a poor man's Bobby Brown. NEEEXTTT.


I do quite like "U Don't Have To Call" from 8701 though.

And I have been known to play "Throwback" from Confessions on the Boston Pizza jukebox, but that was a late pass, after all the hype had died down.


I like that too nod

I got the 12" vinyl single for it. The acapella is great!

I don't like comparing him to other acts but I have to admit he is a great talent. I kinda wish "Yeah" hadn't turned me off for the entire Confessions era because I probably would have enjoyed the rest of it.

I don't remember the other singles at the moment outside of that duet with Alicia Keys which was on the special edition, right?

Poke fun at my avatar all you like but, labels have ALL the responsibility for music being so shitty. The labels are the ones signing these shitty artists and letting them and encouraging them putting out these messes of albums. The labels are the ones paying off radio stations to play the same shitty playlist day in/day out, instead of playing new artists who are actually talented. The labels are the people who prevent the real talent from being relevant on radio, because they want it to be a business. The labels are the people who are suing fans of music for downloading, instead of changing their shitty business models.

YES the labels are to blame. And no jokes about blaming it on the rain.


Again, not at all... lol Everything you say is completly false, and extremly inaccurate... Typical anti major label statements we hear everywhere...

My friend, I've worked for record labels long enough to know that labels have no responsability for the shit people like...

In fact, labels sell what the public wants to buy... always... This is their job... Making money by selling what the public requests...

There's no reason for records labels to sign shitty artists if the public don't like them in the first place... In fact, the public loves the garbage... Because this is what the public wants...


And concerning radio stations, true labels pay off radio stations to have their music played in the first place over indie artists... But radio stations only put on playlist what the public requests... Labels don't control radio stations...

The labels don't prevent the real talent from being relevant on radio... That's the stupidest thing I ever heard...



Labels don't tell radio stations what they play day in/day out ... lol


And again, concerning Itunes and digital music, it has never helped music to get better or talented artists ... Music is getting worse and worse since Itunes and digital music took over the music industry... If I can remember the biggest act outta Myspace is a teenager rapper named Soulja Boy Tell'em...


Oh yeah there's a lot of talented people on my space but it seems like the public decides to support one of the worse of them...



And yes I make fun of you because Milli Vanilli is pretty much the worse thing the music industry has done, so it's kinda ironic from someone who wants to talk about "talented artists"... lol

Not at all, because payola has always existed since day one...

And radio stations don't make money from payola, they make all their money based on ads...

RYOU HAVE TO UNERSTAND Radio stations play what they want, and most importantly what they think their audience will love...
