Guys I'm having a meltdown because Usher's album is underperforming and now we are pretty sure he isn't performing at the VMA's.
WTF
I'm so disappointed in him right now!He is not even trying.

Chill The year isn't over and I'm sure Usher will do soon much more...

I wasn't mad at him when he gave up on promoting Here I Stand only after 1 month because this album was WEAK, but L4M is his most critically acclaimed album.
He isn't even trying to save this album. Everything is out of place.

I just saw some pics of him and Rico Love on Instagram, riding a bike. Like for real, your album is flopping and you are in Atlanta riding a bike in the woods.


Grace daughter also posted a picture of her claiming she was on the set of his new video... so get ready for another cheap ass video.

I'm tired of this whole era. As a fan I feel disrespected because he is not even trying.

He only cares about riding his bike and visiting museums wit Grace Miguel.

He shouldn't have released an album if he wasn't ready to promote it.

For the 1st time of my life I'm disapointed in Usher.

I think he just needs a little break right now, the past couple of months seem difficult, and he's probably just happy to have the drama over. He can't really perform at the VMA's if he is already going to be at another festival.

I don't wanna give up on him but I'm so disappointed. I had high expectations for this era , even trey songz is going to outsell him;
Come on guys it's Usher, selling 330K after 3 months is not ok!!!
And let's be realistic, Usher disappeared from the media before Kile's death. We didn't see him on TV since the BMA.

This whole "taking a break" thing is just an excuse to be lazy in my opinion.

Don't get me wrong I still love him but I'm disappointed. This is not the Usher I fell for. This is the Here I Stand era all over again expect the fact that no one would blame it on Grace Miguel because she is discreet and sneaky.

I wish Usher would stop dating those controlling women.

Usher knows exactly what he is doing, just trust and support him He doesn't dissapointed me, some of you guys expect TOO MUCH from him after all this sh*t with monster tameka ... he recorded a great Album now a amazing Video "Dive" in my opinion we're (Usher fans) not doing too much for him, just look at the Album sales.... I would be so pissed if I were Usher, he is recording for us a great Album and gets so bad sales? Anyway the Year isn't over yet, I'm sure he will show us soon special things for us and we will have mood like this:

cosign. Lets not worry about sales right now. He has been through a lot and I don't think the drama would end soon. I mean other artist can sell for all I care but none will EVER come close to his total sales.
I mean all the other male/ female artist that sold partially more than him this year none of their albums sold in the US is up to 5 million and I mean TOTAL of all thier albums even made.

[Patricia]

Album sales aren't everything. I honestly don't care if an album is a flop or not just as long as the quality of the album is good. Yes it sucks that L4M is underperforming but at least the album is good quality and will be remembered. Why does he have to keep proving himself over and over again when he's done and accomplished what any other artist would dream of. People forget that he is a normal human being just like everybody else, he needs breaks too. He has too much going on right now, filming movie, Tameka, stepson passing away, custody case that is never ending, stalker.. etc, that his album sales are the least of worries when his personal life seems to be a living hell. Other artists can't touch his total sales.

yeah i don't care about the sales, i meant people expect too much from him like he were new in the music scene, he did and is doing so much but some people are acting like he is doing NOTHING.... this year isn't over yet like i said 100x times, usher will always smash just trust und support him

Agreed, what does he still have to prove? He has been in the music industry for 20 years, My Way was a success, 8701 was a success and brought in memorable songs, Confessions was a success, Here I Stand was a sucessful and so was Raymond v Raymond. Climax was successful, Scream, Lemme See,
Honestly the only time I ever doubted him was when he married Tameka

[ILoveUsher]

I understand where everybody is coming from

but I just wanted to say that I don't understand why he released this album if he was too busy to promote it. he really disapeared from twitter and medias since may. He didnt even promote it during the release week. Something is wrong and I'm sure we will eventually find out.
He should have wait until this fall, after the custody battle.

I am really sad because this is my favorite Usher album.

to be honest I don't really feel comfortable in blurry situations and this era is really blurry. This is probably why I am so sad.

[ILoveUsher]

Usher: Thank you and again, I’m just so happy. I reflect back on my life and some of the artists that I started with are not here, and others have gone on to do other things. I’m just excited that the conversation I had with my friends 18 years ago turned into a reality.

He is clearly shading Justin Timberlake

Yes I know it makes some stans and fans angry because this album deserves a lot more recognition, there is something just off about him this era, I don't really know what it is?

The shade where is that from? I wonder if they are still friends?

Wrekk: I’m so excited about this opportunity to interview you. In my 15 years of doing radio, you are one of the few people I have not interviewed until now.

Usher: I appreciate you, and I’m so ready to tell you what I have going on. You couldn’t have caught me at a better time. I have the number one album in the country right now, and I am just happy.

Wrekk: This is like 4 out of 7 albums strong that have gone number one and that’s not bad.

Usher: Thank you and again, I’m just so happy. I reflect back on my life and some of the artists that I started with are not here, and others have gone on to do other things. I’m just excited that the conversation I had with my friends 18 years ago turned into a reality. I wanted to have longevity and some came with me and others joined the movement later and again I’m just happy.

Wrekk: I remember my beginning days of radio back when I used to spin vinyl records, and to this day I remember the first song I heard by you. It was “So So” Def remix of “Think Of You.”

Usher: Oh my goodness. That is crazy! That right there is history.

Wrekk: What are the keys to success? What advice would you give to upcoming artists?

Usher: Stay at it and continue to evolve. Either evolve or evaporate. You must travel, listen to different styles, be open to new ideas, and understand that music is constantly changing. The music we listened to in ‘98 is different now but it still had that good feeling. I try to be open to what’s going on my world.

Wrekk: “Climax” and “Lemme See” are doing well across the country right now. So are there any last words for the fans?

Usher: Thank you fans for growing with me and if you have not gotten the album, it’s in stores and I know I’m a bit biased but it’s incredible. A lot of what I put into this is my growth and the different styles of music I like. I felt like I could share that and be creative. It’s something for everyone on the album. Yeah, man!

I think Numb will go top 5 but Euphoria will be that #1 from this album

He's had a #1 every album and he better get one this time around (his debut doesn't count)

Impressive.

I never noticed that. I feel like Numb could do it. It'll probably be huge on radio!

I was suprised when I found out Confessions was his first number one album.
