I would've expected this to do better on the Hot 100!

Just seen the video for the first time, LOVED IT.
Loved the close up no-knuckles, bare your soul shots around the 2min and 3min mark.
Usher is the Master, this song confirms it yet again.

"Take A Bow"... Rihanna's ONLY ballad to go #1 on the Hot 100 (also topped the R&B Chart)... Great deed for her most epic ballad!!!

It's a hot song!

What do y'all think about his chances to win a Grammy with this song?

Heck if it weren't for the alternative come back, I'd cross my fingers for Record of The Year. :P

His life performance wasn't half bad but you could tell it was a hard song to sing. He cracked pretty bad at one point too. :(

Oh well, I'm still happy he performed it!

It actually is a pretty difficult song to sing live. Those high notes and falsettos are definitely polished in the studio.

I really think he did a great job with Climax performance. Exteremely hard song to sing, but Usher hit only one bad note 8-)

I know Climax is a hard song to sing, but he struggled much more to sing it live than i expected! :o It was much better than many other performances on that show though! :wink: :lol:

I know that it's a hard song to sing, but there's simply no excuse when the song has been out since February and he preps and performs it just now.

Man I simply JUST can't take that crack out of my head. :(

Are you guys kidding me? :o :o :o :o :o

That "Climax" performance was almost perfect for me if it wasn't for that one super-awful note and several little pitchy moments during the choruses.

I don't think it was bad, don't get me wrong, I'm just disappointed. :( Also that awful note was beyond a note, it was just so bad lmao. Can't get it out of my head!!
