It's weird that Ne-Yo's career is fading away before Usher's. What is bothering me is that no one is seeing that Ne-Yo is much more talented than Usher when it comes to creating music. Usher can sing and dance, but he cannot write for sh** and mostly has songwriters write songs for him, and he STILL HAS THE WORST LYRICS! I did not like any of Ne-Yo's music when it first came out, and I actually think his music sounds a lot better now-a-days than it did like 4 years ago. Ne-Yo's lyrics tend to be more mature and classier, while Usher's are very distasteful, immature, bubblegum, and just idiotic. Usher pulled a Beyonce by quickly changing his ghetto R&B sound to that electo-pop sh** when his urban singles failed to go mainstream and he's a complete sellout. His career should've been over. At least Ne-Yo remained true to who he is. He experimented with electronic music before it was IN DEMAND. I'm not really a fan of Ne-Yo's but I call it like I see it.
