The Reign of Usher is Over
Filed under: Music Minute > Usher > Chris Brown > NeYo
Things just aren't going Usher's way these days!
His 2004 release, Confessions, sold 20 million copies worldwide.
But, this year's Here I Stand has only sold 2 million worldwide to date.
BOMB!
We doubt the new stuff will fare as well as the '04 mega hit!
And, industry insiders revealed to us that he couldn't even sell out his recent concert in the NYC.
About 1500 tickets were left unsold by the time he took the stage at the Hammerstein Ballroom. Yes, a "Ballroom." Not even one of the City's larger venues!
Good luck with your next album, Usher.
You're going to need to come out with much better shiz to compete with Ne-Yo and Chris Brown who are totally ruling the kingdom you used to rule!

He needs to piss on someone to jumpstart his career!
Usher used to be big, I like…a few of his songs
He's overrated and full of himself anyway.
He got married to that old hag and it ruined his career, he was known as a sex symbol. I guess that is why record companies and stuff always try to keep singers romances under wrap, like the Jonas bros!!
where's his bandaid? oh wait…that's the other has been…
he should go do broadway…
i hear they're replacing sebastian from the little mermaid.
HIS WIFE IS OLD AND FUG!
I think he spent too much time on Broadway. Which is what you're supposed to do when you're career ISN'T going well. Unless you're actually an actor.
Thats because it sucked so bad!!!
Well, I liked his performance for the "Victoria's Secret Fashion Show," even though last year's show was much better than this one.
YAWN….
Re: bluwizpee – harrysnatch ? Anyway, GIT OUTTA MY POOL OR I'LL BEAT THE SHIT OUTTA U & MEATWAD! Later haters!
I didn't even know he had an album & I haven't even heard any of his new singles. =S Oh well.
Re: Samantha07 – OK! i know thats right!
he shouldnt have married cujo and let her run his career. bad karma when u treat your mother like shit
Re: harrybalsac – NOT FURBY! FURBY CHANGED TO DONKY DONK…SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
.
.
DO YOU REMEMBER BIDEN'S MONKEY OR *RIBBIT*
His album sucked big time. You have to actually put out good music for an album to sell. His opening performance on Victoria's Secret last night sounded horrible too.
i really have nothing to add……
Re: harrybalsac – BYE HARRY!
Re: Hot Monkey Love Obama Style! – furby hasn't been around lately. blue has to be miar.
Re: Milky Milky – NO SIGN OF MY NEMESIS YET
MAYBE HE SHOULDNT SHIT ON HIS FANS….CUZ I GUARANTEE HIS FANS WOULD HAVE BEEN THERE ALOT LONGER THAN THAT
tranny money grubbin ugly fat WIFE OF HIS…..AND NOW THATS ALL HE HAS LEFT, HIS KIDS, AND THAT FAT TRANNY WIFE AND HER 3 KIDS FROM HER MARRIAGE TO THAT MAN SHE LEFT TO TAKE USHERS MONEY
FIX THE SITE MARIO!
Re: Milky Milky – I THOUGHT IT WAS MIAR UNTIL BLU SAID SOMETHING ABOUT LETTY'S MOM…
I don't think marrying that dreadful Tameka Foster helped him at all.
Re: Hot Monkey Love Obama Style! – i didn't say shit about letty's mom…i just fucked her, that's all.
Re: bluwizpee – for the initiation…
Re: Hot Monkey Love Obama Style! – HEY!
Po' thang. I always did have a soft spot fo' this sweet baby face lil' colored boy.
Re: bluwizpee – Hmmm, I DIDN'T GET TO FUCK ANYONE WHEN I GOT INITIATED…DAMN IT! I WANTED MILKY BUT SHE WOULDN'T GIVE IT UP! LOL
he only released like one song off 'here i stand', what does he expect?
KNOW WHAT I THINK? I THINK USHER SHOULD ARRANGE TO PERFORM AT BARACK'S IGNAUGURATION….MAYBE SING "YEAH" AND ARRANGE FOR MICHELLE, THE KIDS…AND EVEN THE NEXT PRESIDENT TO DANCE WITH HIM!
.
.
I MEAN THINK ABOUT IT! CAN YOU PICTURE THE BUSHES GETTING DOWN LIKE THAT? DID YOU SEE MICHELLE DANCING ON THE ELLEN SHOW? SHE'S STYLISH AND HIP AND NOT TOO HARD ON THE EYES…AND SHE'S PACKING SOME BOOTIE!!!!!!!!!!………TEE HEE!!!!!!!!!!
.
.
THAT WOULD SURLY PUSH HIM BACK IN THE SPOTLIGHT. CAN'T WAIT FOR ALL THE IGNAUGURATION STUFF. IT'S GONNA BE HIGH GLAM AND OVER THE TOP!!
Re: Milky Milky –
MILKY, GO AWAY, YOU UNCLE TOM!
Re: Hot Monkey Love Obama Style! – HOT!
Re: Rude Dude – STFU! FUCKING MORON!
Didn't Usher start stripping……when times are hard for women they turn to the sex game….not all of them…….some have honor……BQ
agreed with jimmy jazz and usher had some kids and settled down with his not to hott wife. wow usher used to be the shit but now chris brown is legal and oh so sexy usher really needs to step it up. sexy usher :p
Married man can't sing a bachelor's type song.
Re: Hot Monkey Love Obama Style! – oh fuck no asshole…shut the fuck up!!!
i heard he's hung like whitey
Re: bluwizpee – NO NOT TO YOU! YOU THAT ASSHOLE RUDE DUDE! SHUT THE FUCK UP YOU TWAT MOTHA FUCKA!
USHER CHUPA PINGA!
Re: bluwizpee – FUCK YOU! WHAT THE FUCK!!!
Justin Timberlake and his ugly old wife are to play! JT stole his identity! And his wife sealed the deal!
Perez Hates Me ^^
Re: Rude Dude – you want me, don't you? you're into that kinda thing, aren't ya?
Re: Hot Monkey Love Obama Style! – what is going on????
Re: Qxicano – JT didn't steal anything from Usher. He's been in the business just as long as Usher doing his thing. There are alot of singer/dancers out there and they didn't steal from Usher. I've never seen Usher on stage playing piano or guitar like JT does. He has his own thing going on.
Re: Hot Monkey Love Obama Style! – letty misunderstood her ….i think she was talking about hanging with me last night….no hate
Re: Hot Monkey Love Obama Style! – Re: bluwizpee –

don't make me put you two in a time out
usher is so yesterday. where is chris brown?
Re: mamajud – I KNOW ABOUT THE LETTY THING…I WAS UPSET ABOUT THINKING BLU CALLED ME AN ASSHOLE AND TO STFU!
IT'S COOL…MISUNDERSTANDING!
Right on "Sister Boy Friend", Chris and Ne-Yo are way better than he is , and younger!!!
Wood sum kine soul please helps my baby, jimmyjazz, out wiffs the ignoration word…???
He be done mispelt it now for at least the third time.
I LOVE HIS SONG TRADING PLACES! BUT THEN AGAIN YOUR GAY YOU WOULDN'T UNDERSTAND THE SONG NOW WOULD YOU?
I know tell him something Perez… he is falling off like Britney Did.
But Im hoping new album will spark him back to life.
does that include digital sales fat body? the problem is is that people don't go out and buy CDs anymore, they either pay to download or rip that shit for free.
ush3rs album was da shit wat u talkin bout fat ass
Re: Samantha07 – I agree. It's all because he married that nasty old lady. He lost all his sex appeal.
He is WAY younger than her. She's like on her 5th or 6th kid. GOld Digger!!!
A couple of days ago you said you didn't think Chris Brown would last and now you think he's "ruling the kingdom?" Make up your mind Perez.
He lost a lot of female fans marrying that old lady.
HONESTLY..ITS THIS WHOLE THING WITH MANAGEMANT AND GREEDY RECORD COMPANIES…LOOK IT ALL THE HEAVY HITTERS JANET,MARIAH,Etc.
ALSO THE MUSIC PUBLIC HAS SORT OF LEVELD THEM SELVES TO WORPED TASTES, IE CHECK OUT THE
SOLDIER BOY AND ICE-T FEUD
that last album didnt hold a candle to confessions……
.
.
im surprised his record company even released it….
Re: Samantha07 – eeewww…the jonas brothers are not sex symbols….
.
gross….
The music industry is so fickle and hard to explain because I think his album is GREAT!!!! I wasn't that impressed with Chris Brown's last cd aside from a few songs- but I love Ne-Yo's. I think what has dampened or lessened Usher's popularity is the fact he got married. The majority of Usher's fanbase are/were teenaged girls and the early 20s set. I honestly think (although I would hate to think) him gettin married drove them away.
I thought he sucks in Victoria Secrets Fashion show. He can dance, but he should get someone else to sing for him….
Usher's latest album offers nothing new, not spectacular coolaborations or new rythms, somehow he got lost and competition just kicked his fab ass… he might need to reinvent himself or go back to Diddy and ask for a coolab…
Thank God I can't stand this fucking tool!
