#1 Usher needs to focus on Urban tracks and R&B sound. That is where he found his peak. Look at 'My Way,' '8701,' and 'Confessions.' ALL R&B albums, and big hits. He needs to recreate that vibe and sound and keep it modern while still being timeless R&B music. But even "I Don't Mind" which I liked was cheesy and corny and had so much Pop music elements. People also may have liked it because of the Juicy J feature (he was hot on songs around the time and prior to its release). But the Nicki Minaj "She Came To Give It To You," was a bad song. Even "Little Freak" was better and thats not a good song IMO. "Good Kisser" wasn't single materiel IMO. Not a bad album cut, but not a lead single either. Am I forgetting any of the previous singles over the YEARS it has taken a near legend to launch his album?

Also people don't bring Fergie, Gwen, and Nelly Furtado into topic. They all are very different artists from different backgrounds. Clearly Nelly Furtado wasn't going for the sound she had on 'Loose,' Urban Dance Pop. The sound change and time from release minus Timbo might have resulted to her low numbers. They had created a brand new Nelly Furtado and it was pretty epic.
