I'm only comparing because everyone keeps bringing Usher up. I'm just making a conter argument.

He's pretty much retired from the music industry. I don't even consider him a current male pop artist. He's an actor now. But I do agree that he would slay if he ever made another album.

Usher is bigger than him in every way

(We have Britney's testament at least)

I know this, but how did Usher do after? He wasn't nearly as consistent after Confessions and pretty much has had half of the success. Besidess I'm talking about WW success beyond just album sales.

How did Justin do after? Played silly parts in forgettable movies.

Ultimately, more people will look up to Usher than they will Justin. More people already do. Justin did this to himself. He let himself become an after thought.

Like, let it go already.

Not with all those years of work Usher has put in. Justin is nothing more than a former pop star turned actor. Usher is the male prototype. After King MJ of course.

He's a great artist and performer, but he hasn't released in album since 2006. It's unfortunate because his 2 solo releases were amazing, but he seems to have lost interest in making music and has since just gone into acting.

Lol this comparison makes me laugh all the time. 8701 was bigger than Justified and Confession was bigger than FS lets not even talk about 'My Way". What makes me laugh more is that when Usher and Justin were at their peak, they were calling him an Usher clone, not a diss it is a fact. Its so funny how because he hasn't released any album since 2006, they are now calling him the prince. Go to google and check achives of Usher and Justin from 1999-2007 and read the old comments.

Even Simon Cowell was asked about this in 2005 and here was his answer:

"If I had to have one of the two, I would take Usher any day. The interesting thing about Justin is, he is a white boy who has tried hard to make himself black over the years. So you get the impression sometimes that he wants to be something he's not."

I can bring old quotes to prove my point but I will just leave it at that.

Yes and it's too bad that he's not interested in making new music anymore

Sorry, no. You need to be more committed to be big and two albums don't cut it.
