  • instead of those first 2 singles he shouldve released this first. hell my song is “echo” and its not even on the cd. this video is different for Usher, but hey sex sells and thats what hes giving in this video.

  • First off I’m a little upset, the video is so disappointing. It like his Heart is not in this album his is half assing everything, let no forget the horrible BET performance.

  • HERE IS STAND is prob the most real & BEST R&B album put out this year, I dnt knw y people not likin it…IT IS BEAUTIFUL MUSIC!! this video is hott tho/

  • That was cute, although I had a different vision for the video. Too bad they didnt ask me for my opinion lol

  • i didnt even know Usher video was out.
    question to everybody-is Usher still relevant?

  • WOW! I like it.

  • the video is cool but Usher isn’t really relevant anymore. He is about to be 30 and he is married with kids so in my opinion I would rather hear more maturity from him. Can he sing about something else other than sex in the club and different sexual positions??

  • Ursh just sexed his-fine-self up to the tip-top of my FBD list!!!!

  • he know he wanted a man in that video!!!

  • it was ok.I might have to get that cd after all, lol

  • Love this song!!! The video is HOT!!! Almost forgot he was married with kids.lol.

  • I have never understood Usher’s sex appeal; BUT, age is agreeing with him! He is looking too good in this video. TOO GOOD!!!

  • I think all the questions as to whether usher is still relevant are vaild, He is an amazing performer and yes some of his new tracks are well written (this one) and some do well in clubs, the album was satisfactory. I agree with whoever said they would like to see some maturity, he does have kids, and i dont mean to pry into his personal life but I dont like to see that in a music video when I know he is on TRL defending how faithful he is, not that I dont believe that statement.

    That video is hot, I think i may need a cold shower before work now, but some moments in that were like porn, I appreciate expressing sexuality as much at the next person, but at point do artist take some social responsibility and be like “hey, young people watch my videos this may play early sunday morning maybe i shouldnt grasp this girls titties and let her pin me to the floor in the worlds smallest underwear”.

    I am the last person to say things about someone I dont know or hate on something, but some things are just offensive and when it affects others we have the right to say so. Not that imma prude – far from it, there is just a time for decorum.

    Ok i typed alot but i just wanted to say also that the video was very beautifully shot, lit and edited and i really did enjoy it

  • there really much “trading places” going on…and whats up with the invisible piano?

  • correction: there really WASN’T much “trading places” going on…

  • I love this man…………

  • I feel like the old usher is back…finally

  • lol i love this song this video and yes i agree on both sides 1 he is to old for this it is time for a change but the other half this album was a success and i love most of the songs on his album an i love this video lol he practically had sex with this girl in this video lol but hey sex do sell!!!

    Usher should know better. I understand the whole concept “sex sells” but damn. was all that tongue kissing and actual physical contact necessary, I have been an Usher fan since the beginning and seeing this video was a big disappointment for me. He should know when to draw the line. Sex scenes in movies are nothing like that. that was no scene,he should have just had sex with the girl. all that was not acting. i would be mad as hell if i was tameka. because that went a little to far.he has a family now damn.

    FOR ME HE DID IT… I MEAN I GOTS A LIL WETTY WET IN THE BACK AND A LIL STIFY STIFF IN THE FRONT CAUSE BOTH HIM AND HER LOOK SO DAMN GOOD TOGETHER… ITS THE KINDA WOMAN I ALWAY SAW USHER WITH (BUT LOVE IS LOVE AND HE IS WITH HIS LOVE) ANYWAY I AM NOT THE BIGGEST FAM OF HIS MUSIC SO I AM RATHER NEW TO USHER BUT I LIKE THIS SONG AND THE VIDEO IS HOT…

  • i feel like ive had sex with him for years n its gettin old n borin. need smthin new, besides sex.

  • This is the man that I fell in love. This is the usher that sold records.

  • I gree with all the people that think this mess is overboard. Sexy is more subtle to me. Not in your faceness. He was clearly stating his love on MTV and now sexing a girl in front of millions. Guys and girls can watch him make fu#* faces. That he should feel ashamed of and he has kids that may see that foolery. He is supposed to mature one day right? When I wonder? I have seen him this way for years and yes it is getting boring now. Be a role model to your kids not a porn actor.

  • what’s the name of the girl in the video???can anyone tell me…
