It hurts to see so many hate comments smh

[ILoveUsher]

That's why I left ATRL. People are so ignorant. Usher killed it. Nicki was kind of shy.

[Asfoster87]

I was underwhelmed by his performance, tbh. Seemed like there was gonna be more, but there wasn't.

[Patricia]

The mic ****ed him over. He would have done well not saying that he didn't but the mics have been acting up all night. They're just picking on him because they're ignorant. That's why I want to leave too.

[Usher]

Guys let's be honest please this era isn't interesting so far even L4M was much better and more original than this era.It's like a other person controls everything and not Usher.

There are for sure many ignorance people but they're not just here on ATRL they're also on twitter.

Maybe I sound very negative lately but there is something going wrong and he can't continue to have success with this root because the public isn't feelig it and I can't be mad at them because I'm also not feeling it so far and this as a stan.

But for example I love "Believe Me" that is in my opinion his real root where he can have easily success .

[Patricia]

Idk something about everything seems so off. He keeps saying he is in a better place than he was two years but it just doesn't look like it. Everything is starting to feel so rushed again, and I always thought he out in his best effort when he takes his time. I can't put my finger on it but he has seemed off lately. His singing and dancing his great but he just doesn't seem passionate about it.

[iHype.]

Believe Me is such a better song as a single than Good Kisser. His label + manager are so ****ing stupid, I don't understand. But at the same time, it wouldn't have done absolutely nothing outside Urban / Rhythmic.

But yeah, everything is a mess. Idgi. He needs to get it together. The performance was a mess, but atleast we got some funny moments out of it.

Honestly @ this point he misewell release another 'OMG' / 'Scream' 'cause he just has no clue this era. If he's trying to stepaway from that sound, it's still disappointing. L4M & R4R still had much better R&B singles.

SCTGITY had so much potential but they really ****ed it over.

[Patricia]

I agree. What the **** are they doing. I know SCTGITY wasn't everyone's favorite but damn it it is a bop and it could have smashed. Who the hell waits to release the video nearly two months after the song premiered? He literally had to shout because the sound mixing was awful. I hate how they're trying to drag him when Taylor had the same sound issues. Believe Me should have been the first single, people would have loved it.

I have nothing against Grace but she is so awful at managing his career (is it bad that I hope they break up so she doesn't have to manage him?) he just seems completely lost during this era, even more than L4M. Whatever is going on, I hope he gets it together.

[Usher]

Just look at Beyonce she knows exactly what she's doing and the saddest thing is Usher also knew for some years ago what he did.

This is exactly what I mean with this post.

But the biggest problem is his team especially Grace. First they said he'll open the VMAs with a medley and then there were rumors that he will end the show and at the end we just got one song performance...

Let's not compare him to Bey. Beyoncé is under a much better label and she manages herself, she knows what she wants. Usher has a really bad manager and RCA is ****. I think his personal issues are finally catching up to him and it's taking a toll on his music career. Ugh and don't get me started on Grace.. She's nice and isn't as controlling as Tameka but he needs to stop letting his girlfriends control him that's always been his problem. He is always being controlled and he doesn't do what he wants.

[Usher]

Sometimes I really think Grace is trying to ruin his career so she can take him for herself lol

[Patricia]

Grace doesn't seem like that type of person... I hope not lol. He was better off with his mom managing him.

[Usher]

His mom did a great job, she knew exactly what she was doing. Many like "Believe Me" hopefully Usher and his team will also realize this and keep up this route.

[iHype.]

Idg, why does he make his mom, his girlfriends, etc managers? I know they're close but just handing your career to every female who you're close to isn't an exactly good idea.

You're not poor and unknown anymore. Hire a professional who's worked with plenty of other superstars.

What caused him to act out like this?

[Usher]

Yeah good question

[Pandora30012]

Whats with the meltdown? He did great!
And a a tour !!

[Pandora30012]

But Usher banging his head on Nicki's ass
Im gonna make gif

[Usher]

I'm sure this was planned but some people act like it wasn't lol and Nicki obviously wanted more from Usher that's why she looked confused after he stopped

Dddd he has mommy and daddy issues, he always he has it just became more obvious after his father passed away.

[profound789]

What's with the meltdown? He did great! Better than his Good Kisser performances. I don't think this era will be successful though. Nothing sounds revolutionary like Climax and nothing seems to click with the general public like Scream.

Won't lie, its been a very boring era. It's as if he's barely trying. But the performance was great!
