Have u heard Usher's new cd: Here I Stand?
I'd give it a 2 out of 5.

I'm not even gonna waste my time listening to that crap Today's R&B albums are so boring and predictable.Let me guess....I bet there are few songs with popular rappers,right I bet there are a few bedroom ballads with naughty lyrics,right? And I bet the tired phrase "love you forever" pops up somewhere on the album,right?

I know what his album sounds like before I even hear it,lol.

How did u guess?!?!?

This album reminds me of a BAD follow-up to Confessions....wait....it is.

If the rest sounds anything like "Love in this Club" then I will pass without hesitation.

The rest is not that bad, but it's not great or groundbreaking.

To me, the biggest downfall is that LA Reid was not there to oversee the project and make Usher re-record the project (like has been done in the past). Remember Pop Ya Collar?

Are u sure u did not listen 2 it? lol.....

Graycap23 said:

I am gonna listen to it but after being kinda upset about all of his albums I kinda gave up...his live shows are much more exciting than anything he put together on a record....I mean his singles are usually good, but the boy cant never do a great album for some odd reason.

The only reason I clicked into this thread is because I saw who started it. What are you doing with an Usher CD?

It's hard 2 believe this is the same guy who put out Confessions. I thought Confessions was REALLY good.

This new one? Below average.

It was ok for me...only because my boss PLAYED IT OUT and I almost learned every song on the album. i never found myself wanting to play it myself though But I was happy as hell at the tour. he tore it DOWN

vainandy said:

Lol.....being the creative type, I like 2 listen 2 production/writing and other techniques used in the creative process.

For some reason whenever I see Usher I totally crack up. It's weird.

The first single is rammed down my throat 50 times a day at work.

Ya'll are crazy, Usher's new cd is real good. Maybe you've only listened to it once and your trying to compare it to "Confessions" which is unfair. It's a totally different style cd. Don't listen to these haters Usher's CD is HOT!!!!! HERE I STAND!

mdf23 said:

I'm glad you think so...but I have played it back 3 times (in its entirety) and it's not working. This cd sounds like all outtakes.

There he lies.....in my trash bend.

daPrettyman said:

okay, we'll see. i think initially everyone will be comparing it to his last album, but when they sit down and listen to it their going to like it. album sales are gonna be huge.

with all the bootlegs of Usher and Pharell on youtube b4 the release (DOnt Take It Personal my fav) are any of these tracks prod. by him?

mdf23 said:

Yeah...the 1st week. It will fall off like the others have this year (Discipline anyone?....or Hard Candy.....or E=MC2).

paisleypark4 said:

I don't know. I bought the download from iTunes for the bonus trax and video and the trax don't contain that info.

SoulAlive said:

This album was a waste of my morning listening to it. I'm so sick of this weak ass R&B music these days. Why can't artists make a freakin' record without Rappers guest starring on it?! Not to mention the music sounded like everything else on the radio.....

this album will be perfect 4 young teenage girls who get wet from this crap.

Graycap23 said:

Exactly or in my case..There he lies.....at the CD store, on the rack, waiting for some other chump to pay hard earned money for that garbage.

i like a few of the slower cuts towards the end

His Mistakes is a good pop song..


i aint about usher at all.. but If i like something.. then damnit.. I like it


so i like this song

It's a good thing i don't have a daughter because i would have to shake
the shit out of her for playing usher's crap in my house.

So you wouldn't allow your kid to have their own taste in music?

How grampa-ish.

JustErin said:

Hell no! Like the ohio players say funk or not.

phunkdaddy said:

I have been reading reviews on this cd and I haven't read a bad one yet. I keep asking myself....is this the same cd that I downloaded?

Do you guys think that the record companies pay these reviewers to enhance sales?
