How do you really know?
Do you still think Robin served a better vocal on Blurred Lines than Usher on Twisted?

:dead: I mean it's a fact that Robin gave a better vocal

at MOST I'd say Brandy or Beyonce would've done Hello if it was sifted to them (long distance, halo). Hello is essentially a pop song :kii:

but to say Jazmine would sing a record like Hello, and then say she'd sing it commercially (holding back) is a huge stretch

now I really liked Good Kisser, that's what Usher should keep doing.. but I keep seeing him going back to this faux-pop mess

!!!!
I loved that song, and a lot of people I know did too. My mom went UP.
Old & young people were getting in, but it was mainly Black folks.

He should have just released the album at that time, but apparently having a
hit only in the Urban scene isn't good enough for him.

Once again, we discount our own people to cater to a cross over audience.

well no one supported the song. it didn't even reach the top 70 on the charts for Usher :dead: y'all didn't love it THAT
much

AIDS!

I can't stand Usher, but I actually supported that song.

I wish pop and country music would get this much scrutiny.
