@MARK111, I agree! It's annoying how Usher became a follower instead of a leader after Here I Stand. If I had the opportunity to ask him any question, it'll be why he felt he had to do that. The thing is, Beyonce has WAYYY surpassed him at this point as an icon/young legend for her generation which is sad because they were on the same level, if not that he was slightly higher during the Confessions Era. One thing with Usher's albums from his debut to even Here I Stand is that you could see/hear the growth with each album. Whether it was his vocals, performance ability or the quality of his music. Now when he decided it was time to scream OMG! everything changed and he regressed al lot creatively. Had he taken his typical 3-4 break after HIS and came back hard with a progressive R&B album (no EDM) like Miguel, we would be calling him a legend by now. It's sad because when you see him you can tell he has SO much potential but doesn't tap into it.
