I can tell you why people despise this kid! I want to make this clear I don't hate the boy, so please keep the hater comments to yourself okay!!! People feel like he is a prawn for Usher to capitalize off of! Then what really pisses people off is that fact that he is being labeled an R&B artist when in fact he is an pop artist!!!! Most people see that his talent is very limited on the musical side, so he is just the lil white boy that is marketed towards tween and teenagers that really have no ideal what real music is!!! What infuriates people is that you have many, many musicians that actually have paid there dues, played at clubs or bars, without even getting paid to have their music heard by the public, yet you have this child that was singing on youtube and got a deal!! To me I've lost all respect for Usher because all he is doing is using this kid to make a dollar!!! I know nobody hears me, but I have to keep it 100%!! Until these record companies stop using tweens and teenagers to pollute the airwaves with these talentless singers, they will continue to lose money!! There is more than one group of people to market to!!!!
