ON THE SET: USHER - “MOVING MOUNTAINS”
Monday, May 5, 2008
Usher recently went to work on his next video for his second single Moving Mountains. The video was shot at a studio in a disclosed location, with direction from The Brothers Strause (who also did the video for Love In This Club).
There were rumors of Usher shooting a video for the remix to Love In This Club, which features Beyonce and Lil Wayne - but no truth or confirmation on that as of yet. Usher did mention that the remix would be remade featuring rapper Plies.

@1….I felt the same way at first…I believe with all of the media blitz with him and his wife (wow, I can say that now LOL!) just made him so….not what we as fans were accustomed to. I’m curious to see where he is musically, considering all that has transpired.

Hes a one trick pony now. Although I like the songs hes released it seems as though hes doing the same music all over again like Confessions. Yeah=Love in this club, Burn=Moving Mountains. Even the sequencing of the singles. This album probably wont do as well as his last one.

Can’t wait til this video airs. And number 1… he lost his appeal after he got married.
Not all men just Usher. his raised the bar after marrying that man Tameka

This video was shot the same time as Love in the Club.. Hence LITC’s ending. So he may still shoot a video to the remix.

I hope this video is better than “Love In This Club”. Don’t get me wrong it was a good video but it kind of got boring after seeing it for the first time. I hope he doesn’t make the video too literal of the song (like actually climbing a mountain in the rain or some corny stuff like that). Either way I will buy his album.

Why can’t these performers use images of women like their mamas or wives in the videos. Don’t underestimate ur consumer, we like viewing ALL beauty. Please switch it up.

YEA, I AM DEFINITELY AGREE WITH JANE ON #20. THE FEMALES IN THE VIDEO NEVER LOOK LIKE THEIR MOTHERS OR WIVES. HONESTLY, WHAT OWNERSHIP DOES ONE HAVE OF THEIR CAREER IF THEY DON’T CONTROL THE IMAGE THEY PORTRAY TO THEIR FANS??? BLACK BEAUTY COMES IN A MULTITUDE OF COLORS, SO WHY ARE WE ONLY SEEING CARAMEL AND LIGHTER???!!!

I like Moving Mountains. I think it’s produced by Timbaland and he’s a good look for EVERYBODY! I still love Usher, I really do. I don’t like Plies though. I’m sorry but Bustit Baby is a horrible song and he seems trashy. So needless to say I am not looking forward to any remix featuring him. I liked Ushers leaked track I Can’t Win. It’s hot.

Yeah #14. She gets her money. Weave packages + I think she’s in Noxema commercials - or maybe it’s Clean & Clear???
Seems like she is the “light and bright” go to girl for love interests in a video. These artists kill me. Their wives are always brown skinned to dark skinned and thick yet they use thin bi-racial girls as their “main chick” in the videos. I don’t get it. They obviously have the option to marry these type of girls so then why don’t they??

#26 I hate it too! It’s so old school R&B sounding and everything that’s happened with Usher of late dates him, so it’s all just tooo old, but not vintage Amy Winehouse old..just OLD 1994 Video Soul, every soulful group fresh out of their mom’s basement old…
And this song sounds so much like that Omarion song!

I heard the new song Moving Mountains and I HATE IT!!!
Am very disappointed with Usher, his new stuff isnt great and I doubt this album will come anywhere as successful as Confessions. I hope he proves me wrong though

the song sounds good. not too excited bout the video though.
usher has lost his touch though..sorry but he no longer has the midas touch. too bad for him. his man of a wife can comfort him when this cd does not do as well as the last.
