So did we point out that Usher's "trading places" is a TOTAL ripoff of "the beatiful ones"

Well everyone has been talking about this song, mainly for the soft-porn music video that most people are saying "its hot" but if Usher was a chick he would be called a SLUT and a HO, showing the 100% double standard that exists. But that aside this song is a TOTAL ripoff of "the beautiful ones" by Prince, every single part of it, with the exception of the lame lyrics Usher has written (god male RB is fucking dead) but the piano parts, the screams....holy crap why not just put Apollonia in the video.

I always considered him overrated. He sure can dance, but the rest.

So i'll just hit the gym, get some abs, some contacts, a few vocal lessons because those arent really important anymore. Rip of a prince song here, an MJ song there, steal someone's uncopyrighted song, rip off a song thats in the public domain, BOOM! there's half an album! lol
