In reply to coolness.

Agree, that why I said he should've had his Jone or Timberland years ago. I think Usher is like Beyonce, they're great entertainers and vocalist, but not writers (even tho Bey is great at arrangements), but you can say the same with most artist. The different with MJ and JT is that they have that ONE producer that knows their artist, they grew together. If JT steps away from Tim, he's done. Just like MJ with Jones, yes Dangerous and HIStory had great songs, but those albums were nowhere near Walls, Thriller and Bad (Bad is my favorite, great album).

That why I think L4M did "bad" and is compared to Brown because instead of Usher making his own lane, he just does what's hot at the time every since Vs. What made My Way, 8701 and confession great was the realness and the growth of each album. And to me Here I Stand was a great R&B album, but at the time the singles were boring cause music was moving to a more Pop sound.

Buy hey, Beyonce been in the game for years and gets compared to Rihanna, it never made sense to me.
