I love Usher but I feel he compromised his brand by following trends instead of setting them. He was at the top of his game during the confessions era, he lost the plot when he tried to emulate what the younger guys were doing. He needs to go back to the drawing board and figure out who his audience is, what sound and content are they into. He is from the era where artists worked with a single producer to create a masterpiece. We don't want Usher the young player now, we want Usher the single dad whose experienced life's ups and downs and came out on the other side.
