Usher Wow was I really upset when I heard his new album. I kind of like some of his previous songs but this album is pure garbage. Anyone agree? | |

I think this board is overall pretty anti-Usher. This new album is basically trash IMHO. | |

I agree. I was just on the Usher-Hate-A-Thon thread yesterday and needless to say, it got pretty grim. I have to say thi sthough, his new single "Burn" sounds like a re-worked version of "U Got It Bad". Theres nothing new to see here . . . . moving right along.  | |

 This is really sad. I'm convinced that if the internet was around when Thriller dropped we would be seeing the same type of posts as we see here. Not that "Confessions" is as good as Thriller but by today's standards it's closer than many of you want to admit.Bringing Together Five Decades of R&B/Funk/Soul/Dance

A turd is a turd is a turd to me  . I don't care if I'm starved for good music by "today's standards" - that won't force me to like this record. Or entertain the notion that it is comparable to a landmark album like Thriller. JMHO.[This message was edited Fri Apr 30 14:41:28 2004 by VoicesCarry] | |

Well, I love Usher. I think he's very charismatic and talented.
I like his honest lyrics -- they are perfect pop in the sense that art that reflects the turmoils of Everyman in a way everyone can relate to ... becomes popular. There's is nothing wrong with that. I think he conveys the heartache of a breakup and the regret of cheating superbly on this album. Also, his music is very energetic. I've heard Usher songs in the past, but this is the first album I bought. I wasn't disappointed. He's maintained his position at the top of the charts for a reason. His album is good. It makes you feel like he's telling your confessions. No easy feat. Based on other threads, however, I know few will agree. (as I said before the only problem I have is the ripping off of the music for Beautiful Ones in Do It to Me). Burn, by the way is exceptional -- for the metaphor alone. To equate the end of a relationship with fire'/consumption is perfect ... since burn not only describes the hurt/pain, but also the act of cleaning away/purifying/getting rid of. I've never heard someone say let's break up by saying let it "burn." Perfect word choice. And the entire song is moving. [This message was edited Sat May 1 9:35:37 2004 by SynthiaRose] | |
