    I don’t know if you noticed hun but no one really cares about the UK………….especially when we’ve been there and done that. This song is stale and the UK is late

    I like lil freak. It’s very few songs that I can’t stand in the beginning that later grow on me. This one eventually did a 360. I hope it doesn’t take his fans in the UK to “get it” as long as it took me.

    @ Gucci – In that case why are you on a UK hosted site?
    And we’re not ‘late’ at all, it’s just that Usher chose to release ‘OMG’ over here first.
    I still love this song, hope it gets to #1 like OMG did!

    This songs a little too ghetto for UK, I like it don’t think it’s a very good single to release here though……there goes my baby is 100000000x better.

    @ Bacqui

    Chris is not the king of Rnb and Pop. Nobody ever took Usher or Michael Jackson’s place. Chris has a long way to go in order to do that.

    @ Bacqui

    Chris is not the king of Rnb and Pop. Usher = Rnb King, Michael = Pop King!

    Will Usher release this song as a mainstream single in the U.S. then? I heard the label never pushed the song for radio adds when OMG took off. Hope they really release this as the 2nd international single while There goes my baby is the Urban U.S. only single. I can see this song being a hit for Usher.

    Sorry this is just a remake of Usher feat. Lil Kim from the 90’s . Most of the kids are too young to remember it… Just Like Me

    Epic Fail – If Minaj is in her own lane why the hell is she remaking everyone else style. She dropped the Lil Kim image and now as of late she sounds like Foxy/ Wayne.. I never liked Eve however she came in and did her own thing. Same as Trina, Resheda, Remy Ma Etc..

    I dont hate Minaj However I could respect her alot more if she did HER!

    I like the song, but the video is WHACK. They’ve played the hell outta this song on the radio over here in the U.S. so I’m actually sick of this song.

    @DanBOfficial

    If CB is irrelevant then why is her in your gravatar? He must be relevant to somebody, no?

  12. ico June 17, 2010

    I like the song!

  13. nothing but my opinion June 17, 2010

    The song is fire! very nice beat!

  14. Seán June 17, 2010

    Ummm Trent, what the f*** does the next ‘street single’ mean? Is it the next official single or is it being sent to urban radio?

  15. Your spanish p**** June 17, 2010

    My fave song off the album.

  16. ella June 17, 2010

    @BACQUI

    KING OF POP =MICHAEL F****** JACKSON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    CHRIS BROWN= MJ IMITATOR

    YOU CHRIS BROWN STANS ARE JUST AS RETARDED AS RIHANNA STANS
    CHRIS BROWN HASN’T SOLD 750 MILLION RECORDS (LEGALLY), PRODUCED 13 # 1 HITS, PRODUCED THE HIGHEST SELLING ALBUM IN HISTORY, WON 347 (AND COUNTING) INDUSTRY AWARDS, NEED I GO ON??

    CHRIS RESPECTED AND IDOLIZED MICHAEL, SO I HIGHLY DOUBT HE WOULD APPRECIATE YOU DISRESPECTING HIS LEGACY

    @BACQUI

    The King of Pop is Michael Jackson & The King of R&B is R. Kelly. Stop trying to rewrite history. Chris Brown is talented but he fell WAY off after Chrihannagate.

    Off Topic: Usher continues his “world domination” LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
    Delusional people are everywhere nowadays.

  18. R. June 18, 2010

    Usher and R.Kelly are both R&b kings please stop hating. They both had same # of R&b #1’s This is the truth! Usher has had so many more hits worldwide and broke massive records. He is a worldwide superstar. R.Kelly is the force of urban radio and massive R&B act and hit producer. Please don’t degrade Usher or R.Kelly or say Usher is king of nothing, same with R.Kelly. Usher has always been a huge R&b act since 1997 then transformed to certified pop star with his record breaking slow Jam U got it bad which was #1 all across the globe. “Yeah” took Usher to the Ultimate level in 2004. Both of their impacts are different but they both are kings in their own field in terms of their success, facts prove it #’s prove it. Wikipedia listed R.Kelly and Usher as kings few years ago and please stop hating on Usher and R.Kelly ,etc and say Chris is king of everything b/c he is absolutely not.

    @R.

    Usher has achieved many of the things you mentioned (but some of the facts you stated are incorrect) Usher’s first hit was “You Make Me Wanna” released in 1997. “U Got It Bad” was released in *2001*. Usher is talented but he isn’t the “King or R&B”. He is only considered that by his fans/stans (which doesn’t count). Nobody is “hating” on Usher just because they don’t consider him the greatest R&B singer. Sorry but people are entitled to their opinions.
