In an attempt to revive his luke-warmly received ‘Here I Stand’ LP, Usher is set to go for the dual-single approach for the album’s third release. Title track ‘Here I Stand’ as well as ‘Trading Places’ are to be serviced to radio shortly. It’s unknown at present whether both singles will receive the video treatment.While I’m glad the record’s standout cut (IMO) ‘Trading Places’ is to be released, I can’t help but think this whole project has missed the mark. With Usher not being one to dish albums on a yearly basis, it’ll be interesting to see what he’ll do to salvage his increasingly unstable status as prince of R&B.
Your thoughts?

I dont think that it will make a difference. I didnt get his album cuzz he was way to cocky for me. I think his time is up. The BET awards were horrible his performance was as whack as Keyshia Cole’s. He doesnt realize that IMO Chris Brown is really doing the damn thang….let the charts, endorsements, and sells speak for themselves….The only reason why alot of people liked love in this club was beacause of KERI HILSON…like me (LOL)…..Moving moutains was a nice ass song but the spent more time on effects than promotion and performances….USHER TRY HARDER YOU HAVE GOT TO BRING IT NEXT TIME……IF THERE IS A NEXT TIME CUZZ BRUH YA LOOSING YA FANBASE….DONT USE THE SAME FORMULA THAT YOU USED FOR CONFEESSIONS……YOU AND MARIAH NEED TO TAKE A BREAK CAUSE NOW WE HAVE LEONA LEWIS (NEW MARIAH) AND CHRIS BROWN (NEW M.J, USHER)
i think whats ur name,whats a man to do and will work for love would be better singles than thoz chosen
but who cares,he is official a has been
he will always be the prince of rnb.
he needs to get back on the ball.chris and neyo are popular because they are new and fresh and usher has been doing this ever since he was 13.he’s almost 30.he can do it,it’s just time to do bigger and better.say you have britney doing in album.princess of pop.that just means madonna has to do something even huger.usher needs to up his game.chris is popular but not abetter performer.and chris will never sell a million in the first week.that’s just how it is
yea chris brown has takin that place but usher can still hopefully go 2-3 times pla.
I CANT STAND hearing this new/fresh CRAP! USHERS NEW ALBUM IS REAL R&B-PERIOD, NOT FOREVER by Cris Brwn, R U GUYS serious??? no 1 wnts 2 giv ths album HERE I STAND (which is by far 1 of the BEST R&B tracks I have heard in a minute) a chance, b/c he aint dancing, this cd ths time was sumthn new 4 him, ITS A MASTERPIECE (in my opinion) I LUV NE YO, Cris Brwn as well, BUT they really aint got nuthin on Usher-IM SORRY u guys/
Trading Places should be decent for him but I don’t see Here I Stand doing anything for the album in terms of selling more copies. What’s a man to do or His mistakes would be better choices, but IMO there isn’t much to choose from on the album that will be #1 single material. He’ll have to do a Mariah Carey with the Mimi album on the next record.
Tht album is a wrap I mean after confessions to top that will be like michael trying to Top the thriller album its just not gonna happen. Not to mention firing his mom. Alotugh shes back on the scene with him now its a little to late to save this project. Moms help make that money for usher and that was one of his biggest mistakes. Chris Brown, Ne Yo, hell even the Dream all are good artist and they write there on music giving them the edge as well. Usher Like monica isnt the greatest writer at all but can perform well what hes given. Someone shouldve given him some better material this go round.
ONLY WAY HE CAN RETURN TO SUPERSTARDOM IS BY
REINVENTING HIS SELF… LIKE MAKIN A WHOLE NEW GENRE OF MUSIC. GO TO THE MAX LIKE AMY WINEHOUSE. HE CANT DO POP & R&B NO MORE. ITS BORING FROM HIM. THATS THE ONLY WAY! IF JUSTIN T. DONT B CAREFUL HE GONE FIND HIMSELF JUST LIKE USHER & MARIAH!
I like Usher’s album. It just didn’t get the promotion it deserved. Of course he isn’t going to sell 1 mil in 1 week like Confessions. Music was different 4 yrs ago. I like Chris Brown and I LUV NeYo but they will never be on Usher’s level, imo…
Well I mean trading places was good pick but the over song not so much. Just because you like the song doesn’t mean its gonna do well Usher
I think he only picked it because it talks about his wife but in real life that as a single is not gonna help push the album
Once again you can never go wrong with Beyonce and Lil WAYNE on a track so he should have picked Love in this club part to as a single or even what’s a man to do but its whatever Usher is not gonna listen to us
what about “What’s Your Name”, it was released this week as the official third single
well… I’m still waiting for that “Here I Stand” promo CDS if this is true. thanks for the heads up
IF HE RELEASES HERE I STAND AS A SINGLE HE’S A DANG FOOL!
TRADING PLACES COULD BE A REALLY COOL VID IF HE FOLLOWS THE STORY OF THE SONG
Usher has left it too long. He should have released a follow up within a year / year and a half. And his new album isn’t that revolutionary. Bit like Mariah Carey’s album; more of the same old. It’s not bad though, but not exactly wow wow WOW!
He needs to breakup with Chili again…hehe
are ya’ll trippin…usher is good believe me you but chris is a wayyyy better dancer,actually i think he brings it as good as usher use to if not better….the only thing usher has on that boy is that usher can really sang! his vocal runs are always on point,chris on the other hand is a good singer but not great,he has the potential to be great if he would stop singing in that baby voice i mean damn!! i cant stand usher but i am always drawn to how well he can sing,same wit bey,i didnt like her after the first dc break up but i couldnt deny her voice for long and that whole dislike thing didnt last very long
any way enough with the comparing cuz now i’m starting to do it,its contagious people!!!…i feel like usher just need to get back in the studio and start the next album and hit us off right next year,sorry but there isnt too much more he can do with this album….and i really cant stand him so he better come back with an attitude adjustment too……and a new wife lol
Haha…
“Leona’s the new Mariah.”
Whahahahaahahah…. WHAT A JOKE… :)))
