The era was already dead by then. Plus, he has done way better with Pharrell.
"U Don't Have to Call" >>>>> "Twisted"
Usher's decline is so embarrassing though, at least compared to Beyonce, Justin Timberlake and Britney, who are/were objectively his 'peers'.
He doesn't have much to show for his 20+ yr career.
Why so lazy Rihanna?
Why not sing the full song Rihanna?
Why not even try to reach the high notes?
Even if you fail, at least you tried
Why not perform #Unapologetic777 the way it was supposed to be instead of hitting your fans with mics?
I'm surprised people here think "Sex Dreams" would smash. Isn't it a Janet Jackson/R&B-influenced track? Not every song that sounds good is single material.
Havent you all been saying dance pop is dead and R&B is making a comeback on the charts? Which is it?
Ultimately good songs will rise to the top no matter the genre (not saying SD is good b/c we haven't heard the final).
Sex Dreams is hard to predict. Manicure's lyrics are the most relatable.
Swine is "You're a pig inside a human body" is so predictable. She didn't really say too much in the clip we got.
I really like Swine (honestly, I love all of the clips), but it would flop hard. I'm worried that she thinks that an EDM breakdown automatically equates to strong radio potential.

She does seem to think that. But didn't she say Swine was about loss of innocence or something? I didn't get that at all from the video.

True. A diamond album to Here I Stand... I remember hating that album from first listen. He recorded "Hot Tottie" and "Climax" (and some other good songs that went under the radar) in recent years, so I think I will always have spot for him on my list. The "Scream"'s and "DJ Got Us Fallin In Love"s are not played by me... at all.
