New Video: Usher & David Guetta – ‘Without You’

Published: Friday 14th Oct 2011 by Sam

Today Usher celebrates his 33rd birthday. However it’s the singer’s fans who have perhaps been gifted the most – for the video for ‘Without You’, the star’s collaboration with David Guetta, was unwrapped a few moments ago.

The whimsical cut is lifted from the French DJ’s guest-heavy ‘Nothing But The Beat’ LP.

Peep the video, which sees the party span the globe (quite literally) after the jump…

Solid video, however the song has yet to leave ‘meh’ territory for me.

The issue lies in the fact Guetta has consistently been serving up essentially the same sound on many of his releases, while Usher seems to have lost the understanding of what his own sound / brand even is. Tracks such ‘OMG’ successfully saw him adapt to the times without compromising his Urban core. Yet, it’s not hot when -this deep in the game-he’s singing on a track which sounds like it was cooked up for Flo Rida.

    Not bad, yet nothing special either.The idea with the continents moving was good but it doesn’t suit the song, so it looks random.Actually, the whole clip follows the pattern of videos not being about the songs.The song is ‘Without You’.What does the movement of the continents have to do with it and why are people dancing to it when it’s not even a club song, let alone a club banger.It’s an upbeat radio song 😐

    This is the SAME EXACT video as the Taio Cruz/Ludacris song “Little bad girl” that David Guetta made…. the whole beach theme, club… SMH

    Why the hell is there so much hating on usher. This song is good and totally different to anything he has done before. He is experimenting with new sounds and by doing this he is growing and evolving as an artist. I really like the concept of the video, it works really well and such a fantastic idea. USHER WILL REIGN!!!

    You are the only one on here to talk that old s***. Don’t you get tired of saying the same old s***. How old are you? If you look anything like that picture, you are an old as s***. All these damn names day in and day out. Tell me something just who is your damn fave? Let me guess GaGa

    Oh and about the video & song, I really not feeling it but it will grow just like everything else does

  11. VA STAND UP!!! October 14, 2011

    Um…..its a cute video. I guess I understand the concept. He (Usher) is longing to be with the one he loves and the earth is coming so he can be with that person, even though there is no main chick in the video. Usher didn’t really do much in the video but just stand there looking lost, but I guess since it’s a ballad it wasn’t expected for him to do any choreogprahy. *shrugs* I bet if a certain someone else had done this record he would have bust a move! Lol!

    David Guetta was doing what he pretty much always does in videos, jumping up and down while spinning his records. He always looks like he is having more fun than everyone else in the video. Lol!

    I do like the song though. Usher’s vocals slay on it, even though it is a ‘pop’ record his r&b sound is shining through. For the most part all of David Guetta’s songs sound the same but this record stands out to me, mostly because of Usher. So Kudos to Ursh!

    I am looking forward to hearing his new ‘revolutionary’ pop sound. Not quite sure what that means though. *shrugs*

    on point Sam. FINALLY on point

    I really dislike David Guetta, because the songs always sound the same and the videos are always similar. BTW….shouldn’t it be Usher feat. David Guetta or no Guetta at all. Usher’s voice is heard in the song and Guetta’s is not heard at all.

    I like the song, because of Usher, the video is good but similar to the others Guetta has done. I wish Usher would go back to doing more R&B songs. What happened to him?

    Oh and Happy Bday Usher.
