The song just sucks. Period. "Good Kisser" and the Nicki collab both suck. Both didn't take off. Back to the drawing board Usher.

Definitely not crazy promo. There was barely any for it. The video isn't even on UsherVEVO. Hardly anyone knows about it. He didn't get a radio deal for pop, nor urban. The release of Good Kisser was more organized than this. He only did 2 live performances of it, Today Show and VMA.

A better reasoning would be no one knows/cares about it.

Also I Don't Mind is just awful.

I do agree with one thing though, back to the drawing board. Not a single of his new material sticks with me, aside maybe Believe Me, but I think people are overrating it due to how his 2 previous singles were different sonically.

Good Kisser only got to #65?
Im literally shocked.

But this is great news. Im glad his taking his time.

Usher sis I love you but u need an actual smash. These lil songs you've released are cute but is obvious the GP ain't here for them at all. Time for the pop smash tbh!

[chilicheese01]

Welp.

I'm not a big fan of his first two singles, though. Hope he comes back with something better.

a Mariah Carey / J.Lo sized mess.

It would flop horribly so they best wait to get a smash.

She Came To Give It To You sounded like a surefire hit, and he somehow managed to make it flop with a Nicki Minaj feature, a music video and a VMA performance, so im not even surprised

Good and bad. Bad because I want new music, good for him though.

The tour should keep his buzz up. The problem here is that no one even knew he had new music out. Good Kisser took a while, and by then, no one cared. She Came to Give it to You had no push, therefore no one cared.

The only bad thing here is that whatever material he worked on, we probably won't get. I remember back when Raymond v Raymond leaked in 09, all those demo tracks had a ton of views on YouTube. No one is really checking for him at the moment.

I guess he tried to go for a mysterious approach and it just didn't work. He needs exposure.

Plus his management is a bunch of idiots. He's better off managing himself. Yeah we aren't getting any of that material, like I already said its like he's pulling an 8701 again and reworking his album. He should really give electro R&B another try.

A lot of purists hated his electro approach, so he went retro here and no one is checking for him. I do get it though, like "what do y'all want from me?"

I can tell he's just making music that he wants to but is annoyed at how no matter what he does, people aren't happy lol. Will say if he made more songs in the vein of Climax he'd get more success, despite the purists calling him out on "copying" Weeknd.

he got pressed over his VMA performance
