Looking forward to shooting with Usher this weekend in LA. It's for his song "Dive" and stars Chanel Iman.


They are finally getting it together. They are shooting the video in advance it's a good sign because Usher's videos are always so late.

It's a nice urban single. I want them to chose the title track as pop single but we will see.
Great choice!! For me, since the beginning It was the choice between Dive and What happened to you if it comes to Urban single 8-)
Give us decent video this time Usher , please :)

So "Dive" is the next single? Heh alright then, not a bad choice. Hope "What Happened to U" gets a shot too.

Tada I think that if they release Euphoria it possibly could hit #1 in the UK, they would embrace that song.

"Hit" is written all over it

People, please do not crucify me, I am just voicing an opinion....

is it me, or is it that usher is realasing a slammin no 1 album and then an album that is lackluster?
Its like...
- My way: WOWZERS .....what a debut
- 8701: not bad, but not what I hoped
- Confessions: Ah Ma Zing!
- Here I stand: Couldn't feel it
- Raymond v Raymond: simply BRILLIAMNT ( album didnt get enough credits :cry: )
- Looking 4 myself: Lackluster..

I m really trying to like the album, Bought it, the 1st day out...somehow, I can't get the click with it.

^ We're all entitled to our opinions and I respect yours, but nearly all critics (and I feel most people on here) would sooner see RvR as lackluster and this one as the better.

I love all of his albums, but yes RvR is his most disappointing work imo.

He had material leaked for MONTHS, actual better songs, songs that made him sound even more evolved from "Here I Stand" and we end up getting an album of 14 tracks where half of them weren't as good as the 20 or so other demo tracks.

Then there was "Versus" which albeit some gems (Lingerie, Hot Tottie and Love Em All), was also pretty meh.

"Looking 4 Myself" may not be all R&B but it's a step forward like all of his previous albums, minus "Raymond v Raymond" were.

Thanks for your response...

Yep, according to the critics this album is a good album...maybe I should spin it more. But I still have no click with it, unlike RaymondVSRaymond
