This kinda stuff is becoming played out and 'TIE-YUD'! On the upside, when he realizes it's time to quit, his transition from music to porn should be a smooth one!Usher, Carlos "Los Da Mystro" McKinney, The-Dream Same ol' lack'o'talent, youth, male, jookin' air, dry humping sum mixed breed or 1/4 black video vix, showing (malnourished belly callin' it) ABS, w/a bit of high pitched(gyal) screamin' or falsetto or watever!! Nope, yur not the only one! (replying to PSALM4EVER) He is trying to bite Jaime Foxx… With the piano, shades,the girl, and even the high notes. The song was weak and the video was a soft porn. He needs 2 dump that tomeka or whatever has fuck him up and make a confession 2: I left that bitch yall was right Usher song is wack and all the body fondling is meant to distraction from its weakness. These artist are resorting to sex appeal rather then talent. This aint no different from ciara taking off her clothes. If this video was for the song "that's what its made for" id get it. I am use to usher teasing us and making us want it rather than throwing it at us. Sorry ladies.*I meant girlsĪm i the only one that sees the desperation of this video. We are in critical times when talent gets wasted this way. His wife is great if she supported this having children, but what man or woman would want to see their life partner groping and kissing for a video? I'm disappointed, I bought Here I Stand, great work yet this is not a reflection of the album. His better work has been showing his talent not his body. He looks decent but this behavior is getting boring, give the people more than this. He is a father now and should ask himself, would I want my children to look at me as some sex-driven stud who can never get enough. Half naked, rolling, panting, to sell a song? Where is his dignity? This video is seen by millions, all ages and classes. This video is degrading to him and the video girl. Usher is not ONLY married with a son, he is a black man first. We living in recession, not just finance, taxes, fuel but in creativity and class. To applaude the way he objectified of the woman in this video is a sign of the times. Usher is young and needs to know those vows better. Will Smith would never play Jada like this or she'd be the lead. That why celebs get caught out there, Meg Ryan with Russell Crowe, Brad with Angelina, Reese Witherspoons husband. We are one and there is no third party, not even for money. My husband would be in trouble, I trust him but he can't disrespect our union. Pictures lie and don't show a bit of how pretty she is. She has sex appeal, she's gorgeous, why not use her? Despite what you blogs say she very hot, I saw her in LA with him. It should have been his wife in that video. If you're going to mess around, don't get married. I like Usher, but you just don't do like that. So what if he comes home to me every night? If he were doing the same thing to me as he was to the other chick, I'd be pissed because I'd want that reserved only for myself. I'm married and I'd have a problem with my husband all over another girl, even if it is just another music video. You have to feel something for the other person if you want to make it seem real. I just don't think that someone can just "act" that.
