What hurt usher the most was getting married and it damaged his fan base with female fans..for those who don't know Usher hasn't even sold the club out in ATL for hsi "ladies only" tour..it is a club for about 500 people tops..and he can't see it out..the album wasn't bad but it wasn't great add to the fact he got married and it is everywhere. He really lost his fanbase with the behavior..and if he wants to save his career he will need another hit like and "yeah" and go single again which would be hard to do with the kids he now has.
