This is true. Even Whitney's version already sounded like a potential moderate hit to me at the time. Such a shame this peaked at 100.

The opening night is 20% sold out and most tickets cost $45.

He's been promoting the tour on TV even after the album cancellation.

This is wrong, Usher deserves better than that.

Oop. Just saw someone did. Carry on.

I should feel bad for Usher. In fact, I do feel bad for him a little, but him and his team could've seen that one coming, they could've spared themselves the humiliation performing on smaller places.

Baby kiss me
Before our time is run out
Nobody sees what we see
They're just hopelessly gazing


*cat dies*

If it is that bad, he should just cancel the tour.

I feel bad for all celebrities who flop. I even almost felt bad for Beyonce during her 11 flops in a row during the 4 era. Almost.

Yeah. Not really surprised though.

Boy, when you're with me
I'll give you a taste
Make it like your birthday everyday
I know you like it sweet
So you can have your cake
Give you something good to celebrate

Usher will be fine. He should be used to flopping by now.

I think singers should tour, even if their albums flop, even if it's in a smaller place. I don't understand Xtina tbh, she ditches the touring because her alberms flopped and she propably wouldn't be able to perform only on arenas or something.

He never fails for too long. He always picks himself back up.

Not Brooklyn Beckham making me like the song even more now

Usher's rate of decline has been pretty drastic, especially since after Raymond v Raymond and his last big hit, DGUFIL.

Were Bionic tour ticket sales as bad? I heard both the Stripped and Back to Basic's tours were pretty good so I dunno why she just stopped. Maybe she got lazy (most likely).

Trend-hopping isn't working for him anymore.

His lead single was done by the people behind Unapologetic.
The followup was produced by Pharrell and it featured Nicki.
The next single was done by Mike Will Made It.
His current single is produced by Dr. Luke and features Juicy J.

The fifth single will probably be produced by DJ Mustard.

All that promo and he's sold barely 300k singles globally this era.
