Yeah I hope he comes back big with something fresh. LITC and the whole Here I Stand era was unnecessary.

Can't wait! HIS "underperformed" (I don't consider a big hit and a platinum album underperforming), but I thought it was a solid effort. I loved LITC Pt. 1 and 2, Moving Mountains, Appetite, His Mistakes, WAMTD, and Trading Places.

Him and Mimi are on a very similar trajectory lately. Curious to see how this fares.

LITC actually seems like one of his biggest hits to me. I know that I've personally heard it more on the radio than any other song besides Yeah! by him. It's just too bad he couldn't follow it up. I think he'll do fine again with his first single, but he needs to make sure he has more than just one big hit on the album this time around.

Yeah, LITC was huge for him but he just couldn't follow it up. I hope this is good!

Totally read past the song's content. is my response. All I'll say is he makes it easier for people to say he pulls stunts like marriage and divorce to sell albums. Still cannot wait to hear this.

Oh c'mon, he's not gonna divorce his wife because the lyrics of a song being written for him talk about that.

Not saying I think he does that, just saying it's been speculated by various R&B blogs across the internet. Usher is an artist I will always support, but it's not bizarre to see why the media would try to play him out like that.

Yeah, I guess the media could try to spin it like that, but I think they would just come off ridiculous and I'm not sure why anyone would believe it. Anyways, I am kinda concerned about the divorce topic though. Not exactly the subject matter that you're typical big hit addresses. May be too deep for mainstream.

I don't think it has to be that deep, it could turn to be something like "What happened to us? We were so in love but now we're filling papers"

What's A Man To Do was such a beautiful song, the album was overrated for sure.

I adored the unreleased tracks Be & Certified from him this year. For this, I'd be interested to hear him do a song along the lines of Craig David's sublime POP ballad Reason, also unreleased.
And I see he's covering(exploiting?) another high-profile relationship for his album again. We'll see how it works out. I wonder if he's referring to Tameka as the "Monster?"

Is this from Mimi's label if so it will flop especially if Dream has anything to do with this or if it is too r&b
