Usher Responds To The Weeknd

[African Peasant]

Ppl acting like Usher wasnt/isn't the premier artist of his time, and wasnt damn near running things in RnB music!
Like all these 'artists' today haven't been influenced, or in some ways taken cues from him. But, I guess it cant work the the other way.

Kels ran the late 90's/early 00's, not Usher. Kels was the frontman.

This is correct....R Kelly was King but Usher was not far behind. It's just R Kelly was dropping Classic after Classic. And writing Classics for people too. But Usher still had a lot of impact Late 90's/Early 00's. This whole debate is making me realize how much R&B has fallen off, it's really sad.


My Way(97) - 6x Platinum
8701 (01) - 4x Platinum
Confessions (04) - Diamond (The Highest Selling Solo R&B album in over 22 years since R.Kelly's Double LP "R".)

(Honestly....you could argue only R Kelly (And MJ but he was more on the later part of his career) was moving high units consistently like this in R&B genre for Solo Male artist during this time frame)


Look how Usher was taking 3-4 Years in between albums, that's how Big his LP's were. Even Kels had work with Usher eventually and it produced a Grammy Nominated song.

you might not want to hear it, but it's the truth

All I know is that The weak end can’t sing for shyt. I saw him live by accident once and dude was struggling to hit the notes. It’s sad that you don’t even have to be at the very least a competent singer now days to have a career.

I don’t know, maybe he has improved now but it was pitiful hearing him live.

Now Usher... that boy can sing live. The closest we have to Michael Jackson’s throne. R Kelly may have him beat when it comes to discography but not when it comes to live performances.

When is Dream dropping again?

Performance which includes more than just being able to sing live.
