VIDEO: USHER - “TRADING PLACES”

Thursday, October 2, 2008

Peep the steamy new video from Usher’s latest release ‘Here I Stand’, entitled ‘Trading Places’. The Chris Robinson directed clip, was shot in dope mansion in Venice, California last month.

I personally think Usher is starting to get his swagger back, now only if he would start dancing like he used to to.

This was WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYY to much for a video…..Usher are you fukin kidding me? this video should be banned from BET and MTV this is soft porn WTF i have never seen a video as sexual as this…..this is what happend when ppl flop they think sex will sell……but in this case its too too too much!!!!!!!!!!Must be hard trying to keep up with Chris Brown Justin Timberlake and Ne-Yo huh?!!!!!!!….lmoa…….U lost pint with me Ush!

Wow. That video was pure sex, and nothing but sex, lol. I wonder if MTV will play this before the watershed hours. I doubt it. I mean, it’s not that far off from softcore porn really. Would you want your kids watching this at 8am in the morning? I was particularly liking the invisible piano concept. I liked how the video had little to zero choreography because for certain type of songs, it’s just unnecessary. I loved the video because sex is to be celebrated but maybe he could have tamed it down some instead of having an entire video full of sex scenes. I’m pretty sure his deeply insecure wife Tameka loved it as well.

i loved the video yeah the video is hot and very sexual and im pretty sure the possibility of getting banned on mtv and bet was considered when making the video and a bunch of kissing in your undies is not considered soft porn. ive seen worse in other videos…i liked the idea of a woman taking control and to be honest this is one of my fav songs on the cd

13.

SHHH....

Thursday, October 2, 2008 /

Hot, hot vides, yeah I think Usher got his swag back and he’s looking good, love the song more now that I’ve seen the video…….

This is my favourite song of the album and honestly I think this should’ve been the second single!!! Hopefully it’s not too late, and people will start buying the album.

This is the sexist video Usher has ever put out

Usher is a very talented man and I love his range and persona. The video was extremely sexy.

O snap!! I do believe Mr. Raymond’s swag is coming out of retirement (hopefully). The video was nice, and the whole thing about it not being aired, I doubt it. If they played Maroon 5’s “This Love” I dont see wht they wouldnt play Usher’s……….

*Sigh*

Thursday, October 2, 2008 /

Is this video # 2? I could have sworn he had like 3 singles already. “Moving Mountains”, “His Mistakes”, & “Love in this Club”. Dayum Ursh!

24.

NICNAC

I think I have re-fallen in love with Usher…my goodness that man is sexy…that video and song are hot business!

25.

tihawkins

Thursday, October 2, 2008 /

it’s ABOUT TIME Usher gives us what we want! THIS is the Usher we all love. too bad this is just one video and we know he’s going to revert right back to this “new” Usher we all *don’t like* (to say the least!) he should have put this out as the first single. “…in the club” should have been the second single. “moving mountains” should have been an after thought

26.

That poor girl was subsequently murdered after Tameka saw this video. She choked her with her weave. Moment of silence…

This video is extremely sexy!! Usher has been kinda played out as of late so hopefully this is the beginning of the end of stiff, robotic, playback track Usher.

Hmmmm…
I dunno wat to say….
I had to lock it off @ 3:28 b/c 1) I’m at work and 2) his screaming wasn’t really working for me?!!!
I started to like it in the beginning but then mid-way, it just started to become too much! And he’s talking ’bout ”trading places”…..I can’t deal w/a man too eager to take out garbage in MY shirt….my likkle belly-skin shirt…really?! and screamin in FALSETTO or watever for neighbors to hear…..and in this day N age!??! There are names/labels for MEN like dat, usher……an’ people been dyin’ to put it to yurs so….i dunno!!!

37.

Mrs. Jones

Thursday, October 2, 2008 /

That was a bit much. I don’t see it getting played until waaaay after dark. Mad sexy, no doubt. But it seems like he went way extreme to push the envelope and get his video played. Him and the model had chemistry like no one was around. Wow.

38.

thaijae

Thursday, October 2, 2008 /

@ 34… In the song he states that she is going to be taking out the garbage with nothing but her t-shirt on… lol… Not him!

Love the video - love the intensity and the concept. Very simple but sensual. Not sure how the video networks will receive it, but he is grown and the choreographer did the da*n thing in portraying the grown and sexy! Go Usher!! And ummm…Tameka Boo…you mad??

39.

Thursday, October 2, 2008 /

I liiiike! Tameka couldn’t have been at this video shoot, Usher looked really comfy.

40.

Let me just say this.... (I don't care if ya get mad)

Thursday, October 2, 2008 /

The vid is sensuous and sexy…. I love how they used the graphics on the piano that was hot! I loved that the theme of the song was kept also…. love that song and the cd. … I don’t think I wanna see Usher dance anymore he’s grown man sexy and should put that behind him. lol.. Let Chris have it… my opinion is he never lost his swag he just did some grown man adjusting and re-ripped those abs..lol.. go Ush!

41.

Mr. West Coast!

Thursday, October 2, 2008 /

HE’S BACK!!!!

That’s the guy who sold Ten Million Records.

Now push the single and go back in the studio and make a new a new album!

Thursday, October 2, 2008 /

He never lost his swag. I think people donot know good music when they hear it. I donot know why people seem to THINK that his most recent released cd is garbage or that he has somewhat lost his SWAG because he is married. I love Usher and love his cd… Trading Places to me is just the tip of the iceberg… I cannot wait until his concert in DC.

43.

WESTINDIEPRINCESS..what are u talkin’ about….i think you clearly need to listen to the lyrics to that song one more time because you clearly do not get it…. WTF

@ #42
Thank you. He didn’t lose his swag. Ladies, the most of his fanbase, got salty because he got married AND he forgot that his body is a main part of his appeal.
Back to the video, very sexy yet not trashy. People need to relax lol.

Usher, where do you stand now after this video. Seems hypocritical to me. Are you a family man or a sex symbol. I guess you stand where ever the money is.

I love the video, hearing this song on the radio I just turn the station . But seeing the vid makes it perfect to watch together. It’s very sensual and sexual which is cool and the graphics was on point as well. He was almost on that list w/ Tank - Slowly song but nyways…lolol.

I wish people stop saying/acting like the sex is too much like WTF! though I mean whats wrong with that shyt. It should be celebrated…….people act like they don’t have sex…… maybe some don’t…..LOLOLOL!………..I mean that shiiit can get u in the mode with ur partner or something ,nyways……. I don’t understand where people are coming from when they say PORN!-c’mon now seriously! And I don’t think childern/kids should be watching BET or MTV anyways they should be watch HANNAH MONTANA… anyways PPEACE! as always.

nicole

Thursday, October 2, 2008 /

this song is typical rnb,it has no crossover appeal,rythmic and pop radios wont rotate this song…why is he releasin weak ass singles…..if he could only release whats a man to do now thats the best song on the album and its a crossover hit

back 2 the video,the vid is cool and i must congratulate..i wish this video was for whats a man to do song
i can imagine the look on trashy tameka’s face everytime she sees this video and the video vixen shoud not cross path with tameka coz tameka would rip her eyes off

72.

MRSJONES3

Thursday, October 2, 2008 /

73.

memememe

Thursday, October 2, 2008 /

What is all this ‘he gettin his swagga back’ garbage? When did he lose it? Because he got married, had a kid and humbled himself a little bit? Theres different sides to people, no? He’s not allowed to make a video where he’s a little vulnerable? geez.

74.
