Usher is played out. He had a long run where it seemed like he was virtually untouchable, but when he finally fell from grace it wasn't a mere stumble it was a rapid plummet. Like a quarter dropped over a ledge. Usher's sales were bigger than JT's and Beyonce's 10 years ago, yet 10 years later he can't even do a third of their current numbers or generate a third of their public interest. He went from A-list to hanging out with Trey, August and Chris. LOL! WTF is that?! Now like Mariah he's releasing 432 first singles, throwing meat at the ceiling desperately hoping something sticks -- while procrastinating his album because everyone knows what kind of fate it would have if he were to release it now. Mark my words, after this album is finally released and tanks, he's out the door at RCA. They won't try to keep him.
