GUESS WHO: LEAVING LAX
Tuesday, March 31, 2009

Guess who was spotted at Los Angeles International Airport on Monday afternoon walking towards his departing gate? Hint: His last album was a commercial disappointment.

It’s ya Boy Usher! He was in Los Angeles enjoying the Kid’s Choice Awards, as well as some other business. As stated, due to the overall disappointing commercial performance of his last album, Here I Stand, Usher is in the studio with Jermaine Dupri & crew working hard on a new album, set to be released this year.

Marriage will do that to you. Remember Usher has a child and and a wife, if that isn’t enough to make you look old I don’t know what will. I don’t think his album was a flop because it wasn’t good. I think it was a flop because people are trying to buy groceries and not music.

His sales were effected by his personal choice to get married to a lady his fans weren’t feeling too tough.
His face looks a little chubbier in the last picture and it looks like he has a lisp.

HINT: His last album was a commercial disappointment. LMAO!
CL is funny sometimes, but U right though, wonder if the abum hit WOOD yet! And advice for you, you can give Mariah the same hint! This is what happens when a marriage turns your career bad unfortunalety! Some fans dont want to grow with u too I guess! Happy I found the right answer!
Yo Usher is aging well and taking some weight! Thats the good life, but Ush control that cuz face is kinda thedreamish, all round, lol not a good look!

cuz last year he wen to the KCA’S wit tamika last year!
i haven’t seen that chick in a MINUTE!
it doesn’t even seem like he’s married or has two kids, cuz he’s always flyin solo.
idk wat he’s doin’,
but he was wit tamika 24/7 wen HERE I STAND was cominp out..

Usher looks cute as usual! I love the cd and still listen to it. I didn’t see much difference in this cd then any of his others that I heard so I’m not sure what “commercial” sound was being sought after.

‘Marriage will do that to you. Remember Usher has a child and and a wife, if that isn’t enough to make you look old I don’t know what will. I don’t think his album was a flop because it wasn’t good. I think it was a flop because people are trying to buy groceries and not music’.
@6
Marriage wont do that to you necessarily no. He doesnt look old because of marriage. Gaining weight is a sign of interior happiness.
Concerning music Mariah and him unfortunately exposed their relationships/marriage more than their careers and their companions werent expected as well by the audiences which is sad cuz thats their lives. Thats probably why ppl werent feelin them anymore and plus they didnt release the right singles at all. Great example of marriage turing well, Beyoncé and Jay-z. Beyoncé looks the same and so does Jay. She made sure to take advantage of her situation with ‘put a ring on it’ song. Thats how you do.
And I agree, Usher’s album was not bad, but it couldnt top confessions that was the main problem, and a bad move form him to release only an ok work. People expected it to be bigger than confessions.

Compared to his previous albums sales, it was a disappointment.
I bought it, but it didn’t get much play. Anyhoo, I know the Oceans are cooking up some hot shit(hopefully)

Not really into this dude but if he sold a millie or two why is that a disappointment? No one sells 5 or 10 mill every time. American STANS move on real fast.

I consign the “Yawn* & then would like to add a—– NEXT.
Another star earning the “Classic Bullshit” award.
Usher’s game/career/presence period is about as WORN OUT as a 90 year old woman’s vagina. Here you have a “married???” man, who skips town, goes to a STRIP club—and the rest follows etc….
@Angel & Staff ,—— if you’re going to feature a STAR could you PLEASE feature quality “productivtiy”….I realize y’all want the comments and clicks of your adoring fans who seems to LOVE to follow, but for those of us who seek websites with sense…pleaseeeeee do better……As Oprah would say; When you KNOW better you do better…so please.

Meme, selling 8-9 million and only going platinum is a critical dissapointment. With the budget spent on an artist of his caliber I’m sure the record label didn’t break even. Mariah was another dissapointment despite having the best first week sales of her career and a huge #1 record. I thought for sure Beyonce was next to topple but so far she’s the #2 best selling female aritst this year (7th overall), squeaking by Pink, Madonna, Britney and Taylor Swift and has embarked on what will be another monster tour. Only Lil Wayne stands in her way from becoming the top Urban act of 2008 and she’s sure to overtake him next week. She’s unstoppable.

Being a singer is TOUGH, you have 1 o 2 albums that sell, then people get tired of you. You have to be a good concert performing to make money,…Look at how much money Tina Turner, Madonna and the Rolling Stones make in concert..and they have been around for forever.

Usher’s last album was for the Grown and Sexy…so what if it didnt break even or whatever. Hopefully he can have the kind of career like Prince, and not worry about album sales. But remain the great artist that HE is.

Jermaine Dupri is the new Puffy, his albums suck. Look at what he did to Ms Jackson’s career now Usher. He cannot hold on to Mimi forever.

Here I stand went platinum and that’s hard for any artist to do in these times so Usher deserves some credit…it wasn’t better than Confessions but that’s like MJ trying to top Thriller…ain’t gonna happen so I give him an A for effort…I’m excited that he’s working with JD again b/c they make magic together..he looks good but he looks like he’s trying to be young lol…He is 30 now and needs to dress a little bit more sophisticated and classy!

@ #40
I totally agree that Usher’s album was for the grown and sexy. He showcased his growth and maturity as an artist and a man. It wasn’t the Usher of 8701 or Confessions. Considering Confessions came out back in 2004, why would you expect the same thing from Usher in 2008/2009? He is now a married man and father. He has a different point of view nowadays…

uhmph! I thought is was Nas (No offense); but HIS album? A flop? U woulda thought it was uber Grammy worthy the way he wanna talk about somebody! And he’s in the studio? Yeah, not working on an album though; he’s in that mutha sittin’ around gossipin’ about a female, with the rest of his whore-ass, whack-ass, bunch of producing but can’t produce a hit for themselves havin’ ass “boys”! And I yes I’m still pissed off and so what if I’m rantin’ about past events! That’s not cool to even talk about a female, even if you think your shit smells like roses…..Then you have a nerve to release the shit on the internet……boypleazzzzze

I thought that was NAS (no offense to Nas, bc that would be an insult); but I have no respect for him after that video was released about him talkin’ with his other ho’ ass- yeah, I’m a producer-and a writer but I can’t write a hit for my own damn album- fake ass washed down with Tap water drinking- ass boys! STFD Workin’ in the studio? Yeah right, whateva. Probably still talking shit about a female that don’t have nothin’ to do with you and didn’t say a word about your stupid, career-killin’ ass! And yes, it’s that serious and I don’t even care for C. Milli like that! It’s just f*ed up how dude and his fake ass friends want to talk about somebody and RELEASE that shit like they the Wayans brothers or somethin’! I hope this mofo flop commercially too!
