I know but he's not "functioning" well 4 a while now besides madonna's still around and there´s a so-called new-madonna and there's kanye's new tinta turner...so I thought I could order a new GM now

I hate that we even have to wonder about a "new" version of a legend. People stopped being their own artist and are instead clones. I know you were joking though. I hope George comes back soon though.

yes yes i'm joking. it's just stupid this "new this-and that" stuff.

And what I really really wanted is the old (early 90's) GM

I feel ya.

Usher needs to aim to be Usher. Trying to be another MJ is just adding more credibility to MJ, not him!

He also needs to try to make some good music because he hasn't made anything good since Confessions.

Does Chris Brown feel the pressure to be the next Ike Turner?

Does Ne-Yo feel the pressure to be the next Rupaul?

I Feel Pressure To Be The New Michael

[img:$uid]http://www.gifs.../img:$uid] GIFSoup

feel,pressure,new and Michael should'nt be words coming out of this man's mouth. I mean , um seriously??? Usher is okay now and then , but he will never reach the caliber of MJ. Who does this guy think he is? If i hear someone wants to be the next Prince, which hopefully no artist will ever say , i will LOSE IT:shoot2: That is the thing i hate about music nowadays, there is no substance, no soul , no originality. Just auto tuned voices filled with wasted words left in an empty world. Just be you!! Usher, JT,JB, Ne-yo. . .c'mon now, you already know. . .just be happy that your rich and famous gees. Stop trying to be something you're not, and instead be something(worth talking about)

STFU & PARK IT!

How many more fake "[random black male entertainer] wants to be/is pressured to be/thinks he may be the next Michael" articles can the Org get fooled by?

The Org: "I feel pressured to be the next Star Magazine."

I can be wrong about this and could use a little help, but I seem 2 remember kanye sayin' that he was kinda the new Prince, around the same time he said that gaga was the new madonna and other shit...hey but don't LOSE IT!

Anyway...I'm not sure about the new prince thang but I found the rest of the statement and it goes even worse with kanye crowning Lil wayne the new hendrix (WTF)

"Moving on to the question of tomorrow’s music icons, Kanye says, “I LOOK AT OUR CURRENT SUPERSTARS LIKE LEGENDS IN THE MAKING... LIKE JUSTIN IS THE NEW MIKE , BEYONCE’S THE NEW TINA TURNER, GAGA’S MADONNA, JAY IS SINATRA... WAYNE IS HENDRIX, THOM YORKE IS ROGER WATERS, THESE ARE THE CHAMPIONS AND SHOULD BE DOCUMENTED AS SUCH. THAT SAID, IT WOULD BE DOPE IF THE PAPS OPERATED WITH THE SAME INTEGRITY AND ATTENTION TO THEIR CRAFT AS THE LEGENDS THEY PHOTOGRAPH..... GOOD JOB ON THIS ONE!”

I don't think Usher is the "New Michael" nor do I think anyone will ever be "the new Michael".

BUT I still think THIS is better than any of the songs off MJ's new posthumous album:

Would that explain why he's always ALWAYS copying MJ? The nerve. People should just come to terms that there will never be another like MJ or Prince. That's it...molds are broken. Just enjoy the music and uphold the legacy and message. And Prince is still with us DAMN IT!

But I swear I should slap him upside the head...just look at all this...

And the award for THE most f**ked up picture of the year goes to....

That is what I was thinking.

Geez, I don't see him lasting long with this type of thinking.

that is the stupidist thing ive ever heard, no body is pressuring him, because nobody wants michaels shoes to be filled, there will NEVER be another michael, he was the one and only, why dont all this fake artist now days worry about becoming original and tradmarking there own things rather than just copy michael. michael was a legend because he created a new world for music, there was NEVER anyone like michael..and thats why we dont have these huge mega iconic stars anymore, BECAUSE NONE OF THEM ARE ORIGINAL, i mean c'mon, if elvis presley moonwalked nobady would have cared that mj did it too, but since michael literally created his own unique style everything he did was great,

these artist now days kill me,

Cotontige said: are you kidding me, usher trys to copy everything michael does, show me one move usher has created, show me one thing he has innovated, show me one thing that usher has done different. he has done NOTHING DIFFERENT, if he wanted to be like michael he would "study the greats and become greater"- michael jackson. but thats not what he does, he studys the greats and copys everything they do,

and NOBADY wants that.

so please im serious if you can find one video one link one ANYTHING that shows usher doing his own "unique moves" please show me cause every usher performance i have watchd is like the previous person said "a watered down version" of the king of pop.

so yehh, get real, stop copying, be ORIGINAL/

Let's take it there.

You're tripping man, I don't remember MJ breakdancing ... You don't like Usher ok, I have no problem with that, but dude has his own style, I mean just go on youtube and watch Pop Ya Collar, U Remind Me, U Got It Bad, Let It Burn and tell me it looks like Mike.

Do I like store brand items ? Yes, when they're good I don't care ... but honestly, you see youreself moving like MJ in a club ? Usher looks like a regular dude who can dance, MJ looks like a dancine machine.

I agree with the identity crisis part, I pmean look at this post, but in studio I like his voice.
