I never thought of it like that, but Usher his R&B impact 2004-2006.
Chris Brown's "Run It" is like a copy of "Yeah!" (the videos are REAL similar too), Ne-Yo copied Usher with "So Sick", Miguel tried to pull off Usher in 2005, etc.
Chris Brown is the biggest factor in Usher's decline
Chris literally erased him from Urban, one top 3 hit after the other.
This gif reminded me of Mariah's impending mental breakdown over the fact that the crappy single she just released is charting in 0 countries. I hope they shock her with the highest dosage.
Her album is gonna bomb so badly. Did she really push it back or was that just a rumor?
Mariah needs to start catering to the Urban AC audience like Toni Braxton does. Look at how well her duet album is doing.
Cher Lloyd has made the unprecedented decision to put the music in their hands first. This monumental move marks the first time in history that an artist has engaged her fan base to showcase new music before anybody else.
Here’s how the revolutionary campaign shakes down. In conjunction with MTV, one lucky “Brat”, as chosen by the star, will get the opportunity to unveil a new song and a piece of Lloyd’s album artwork via his or her social networks. Shortly after, the particular track goes live on MTV.com, and fans may submit their own videos for it as part of a week-long contest. The winning video will then be showcased on her official very MTV.com artist page. In addition, each winner will be awarded the opportunity to attend an exclusive, live MTV performance by Lloyd on album release day.
Usher deserves more credit b/c he is kinda forgotten. It's crazy that R Kelly is outselling him in 2014, but I guess that's how it goes when you truly do make that mark- not even the pedo claims can stop him, lol.
