EphraimAdamz Posted April 9, 2019 Author Share Posted April 9, 2019 We haven't talked about Usher lately. Why hasn't he received the Vanguard award? Why hasn't there been an Usher award show tribute? Why was Jlo, Rihanna, and Justin Timberlake chosen first? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Out of all the Michael Jackson clones he can actually sing, and he bridged the gap between King of Pop and R Kelly King of RnB. Chris Brown and Justin Bieberย do a lot of what Usher has done already.

Laveaux Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 Usher should be as big as Beyonce...should have had a better team instead he was busy marrying an overbearing cougar, releasing the same mediocre music and giving people herpes. I hate to say it but people are about as excited to see Usher as they are Ginuwine. He should come out as bisexual or at least pretend to be just to get a new audience that will really support him. Being Queer is in at the moment and scandal sales. I heard his new album is supposed to be confession 2, what an aptly time to admit to being a butt pirate...get money sis! 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usherโs prime was โ97-โ04 and has been VERY spotty since outsides a couple more hits!

You know its weird someone at work was talking about Justin Bieber and all I could think of was how Usher put him on and I hope like all hell Usher got paid ย as for Usher its weird for me, because I like his music and all but he hasn't had a hit in a very long time and I can't break from the whole herpes thing eitherย I also don't think its necessarily Usher's fault, R&B seems to have died out. Society doesn't embrace performers of color in mass like it was during the 90s when you could look at the BB top 10 and half the acts were Black........not anymore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
