timberlake>>>usher.
obv timberlakes lyrics arent exactly sly (or even angie*) stone but usher still doesnt really seem like hes trying to outdo his competition these days. i like in this club well enough but it just seems tired. a song about being in the club doesnt seem like the best idea to launch a comeback with. interested to hear the album in any case.

i'd say usher singles>>justin singles, but i'm sure justin's albums are better, and i will say, i don't think justin would have given as listless a performance on such a stage as usher did on snl

maybe it was specs actually
i'd say usher singles>>justin singles, but i'm sure justin's albums are better,
I'd actually say it's the other way around, even though I think Justin Timberlake is an insufferable douche he has some unfuckwithable singles ("Like I Love You", "My Love," "Until The End Of Time", "Lovestoned," "Senorita").. as does Usher obviously, but a lot of his best songs are album tracks ("Can U Help Me," "Throwback," "Before I Met You," etc. etc....) and I think Confessions & 8701 (his best album) are >>>>> FS/LS and Justified. Not to say Justin doesn't have his share of album tracks ("Sexy Ladies", "Last Night,"), but yeah. Also, Usher is a waaaaaayyyyyy better vocalist, better dancer and just better all-around personality... I think Justin's album's are carried by the Production - he's pretty expendable, and actually a lot of his shit would be better if sung by someone else because his voice is REALLY annoying sometimes - whereas Usher takes command of his material.

but I've never forgiven Justin for boob-gate so I may be biased

really though what Timberlake song is fucking with this one:
― kiss on the pearl (The Brainwasher), Sunday, 22 February 2009 05:03 (fifteen years ago) link
really it may just come down to what you want in your music, obviously Timberlake is more "pop" so.... it's kind of not a good comparison besides the obvious MALE SUPERSTARS WHO DANCE thing.
― kiss on the pearl (The Brainwasher), Sunday, 22 February 2009 05:06 (fifteen years ago) link
honestly Tape Store I'm curious do you think Justin Timberlake is a necessary part of FutureSex/LoveSongs or that another capable vocalist could sing those same songs and it'd still be your fave album of the decade? Because I don't feel like his voice is special, and if anything his 'persona' detracts from the songs a little bit (to me anyway, I always have trouble buying Timberlake as the cool womanizer he paints himself as in a lot of songs...)

Legendary R&B singer Usher has said that the recent acts from the UK to top the American charts are bringing the value of R&B music down.
The OMG hit-maker said that British acts such as Taio Cruz and Jay Sean should be classed as pop music and leave R&B to the big boys.
He told The Daily Star: "There’s a very fine line between what’s R&B and pop these days. Just because it’s sung by a male minority doesn’t mean you’re urban or R&B. Those artists are pop. The true value of R&B has been brought down."
OMG, what a cheek!

well, he's otm about taio cruz, that's for sure -- i guess "down" could be considered r&b, or at least i heard it on r&b stations -- all of that aside from the obv irony of his whole statement
― hell hath no furry (J0rdan S.), Wednesday, 30 June 2010 14:25 (thirteen years ago) link
i like what hes saying, but you cant really make that criticism if youre usher. or if youre trying to make R&B in the modern era. the lines are impossible to draw. down is def R&B though. cruz is just shit.

Usher the first (and only) celeb to give up on that ridiculous "dead twitter" AIDS charity drive: http://twitter.com/UsherRaymondIV

"express yourself" (diplo & nicky da b) is pretty great, too, tho more what you'd expect of a diplo track
