I'm addicted to "FWM" at the moment. Honestly, I didn't know what it stood for until I listened to the explicit version a while back. He altered the lyrics on the clean version, which I own. Bruhhhh... But, why do you own the clean version. Who are you, Recordman?! Haha! I just took a chance. I assumed the singles sans "Crash" were the reason for the "explicit" label. I was wrong after I heard "FWM". And I just realized "Let Me" and "Downtime" are different. lol.

Usher Delivers the Classics at Hot 97 Holidays ConcertThe R&B king hit the stage for the headlining act around 11:30 p.m. Starting off with his sensual hit "Good Kisser," the Atlanta native then performed his classics such as "U Don’t Have To Call," "Caught Up" and "U Got It Bad." He also nailed a smooth transition between fan favorites "Confessions" and "Confessions Pt. 2," taking full advantage of his accompanying live band’s instrumentation. Usher didn’t even need to sing his tracks in full as the audience belted every word. He then sang "Bad Girl" as Teyana Taylor made a special appearance as Usher’s co-dancer. The two showed off some undeniable chemistry with their choreography as the Harlem singer (who also performed at VH1 Divas Unsilent Night special the night before) flaunted a few moves as seen in Kanye West's viral "Fade" video. One of the best highlights of the night came while Usher was performing his recent hit, "No Limit," where Young Thug popped up for his guest verse. Thugger also apologized to his fans for not performing earlier, saying, "I’m so sorry. [This] won’t happen again." Usher also brought out A$AP Ferg to quickly perform "New Level," closing the night on a high note.

I listen to Tell Me and Bump at least five days a week. Missin' U is still solid. Crash is still gorgeous. The rest...zzz
I look forward to seeing that new label announcement some time next year.

Haven't listened in a while but Stronger came on the other day and it made me want to grab a random baby and raise it to the heavens!
Meanwhile, the Bump - Crash stretch is still one of his best sequences to date. Hell, I would go as far to say it is his best. Then, there is No Limit, FWM, and Hard To Love. Great album.
Edit: OMG. My phone is on shuffle and 3 songs after I posted this, Let Me came on. My phone and I have a psychic connection. #itisknown.

My feelings are very much the same as they were when the album was released. Everything is perfectly listenable, I don't hate anything and there are no outright stinkers (I do find "Champions" cheesy, but I don't even consider it part of the real album). But in terms of songs that I go out of my way to listen to, there are only four or five. The rest I just use as background music.
So overall, this album isn't a total failure. But I want better from him.

Couldn't of said it better.
"Tell Me" is a classic (still should be released). Other than that he just needs to just go back to the studio and just create pure Usher music. Forget this shitty era we are in. Do what Bruno did and create what inspired you in the first place (in Usher's case it's Bobby Brown, MJ, and Marvin Gaye).

I'm surprised Usher hasn't recorded another holiday track aside from "This Christmas":

He needs (and deserves) better management and a better PR team.

*deep breath*
but lol if he was considering it, but leaked the news to test the waters and the universally negative reaction convinced him to back away. Who else would even think to make up such a random tale?
