As far as I knew Usher was about the biggest act of 2004. He had a huge tour and all. But by the look of his One Night Stand Tour he's not doing to well.

The night here in Houston is scheduled at The House Of Blues. And although it's brand new I know Houses Of Blues are theaters , kind of small for a super artist like Usher.

SO is he doing this smaller tour cause he wants to or has to?

It was said at his latest concert, it was a 4,000 seat arena and it wasn't even sold out

They aren't really promoting this tour like they did the previous tours. I think he wants to do small venues because he's never played them.

I've seen this tour. Boring as hell.

I hate to hear that. I really enjoyed the Confessions tour and the one before that.

daPrettyman said:

I enjoyed them as well. This one is very sad 2 see.....

daPrettyman said:

Are you going to the HOB show?

dannyd5050 said:

If I can find a cheap ticket. Usher is not worth $100 to me. Maybe $50 or so. I'm keeping my eye on Craigslist (like I did for Janet).

daPrettyman said:

Yes the 8701 Tour and Confessions were very good. I gained much respect for him afterwards.

Hell, I enjoyed him when he opened for Janet during the Velvet Rope tour. He had his first big hit with "You Make Me Wanna" and the show was very good.

daPrettyman said:

Yeah, a friend of mine works at HOB and can usually hook it up but not this time.

dannyd5050 said:

Well, I'm sure you won't be missing much.

Madonna robbed her Confessions tour from Usher's tour of the same name??

This tour is being marketed to Ladies Only and i don't mind at all that this is a Ladies Only Tour (Don't want to see him anyway) although i like the CD



SONY ERICSSON PRESENTS
USHER-LADIES ONLY
ONE NIGHT STAND
NO CAMERAS/VIDEO/RECORDER

^ that's what the problem is, he refused to acknowledge his gay male fans!

At least he's not faking illnesses to save face. He's being a man about it and working regardless of sales. If you're a performer, that's what you do, perform, whether it's arenas or clubs.

I think a concert like that just for the females, yeah you gotta do it in a smaller club. Otherwise it dont work right. Id go Usher is sexy!

Now that I know it's FOR LADIES ONLY I don't WANT to go...

UPDATE:SOULALIVE changed my mind. Thanks SOULALIVE!!

talking and talking and talking with no one listening...

Evvy said:

Well, you are obviously listening since you took the time to comment.

Well I hope this is a small US Tour. Is he coming back with a bigger World Tour?

daPrettyman said:

Yeah, I saw him when he opened with Janet and it was really good. But I actually prefer intimate venues so maybe it'll be good at HOB.

I like small venues also. I really miss the Bronco Bowl. That was a very good place to see a show. There was not a bad seat in the house. The biggest drawback was the sound. Nokia is a good venue for a show. The sound is really good there. I've never been to HOB. How is it there?

fluid said:

where is he popular outside the US to warrent a tour?

daPrettyman said:

Yeah, I remember the Bronco Bowl. I love HOB which is in the old Starck club. However, it's standing room only in front of the stage and all the seats are upstairs. But I don't mind standing in order to be in front of the stage. It's visually and sonically a first class venue.
