Am I the only one who feels like they have grown up with Usher? Well, ya boi has another album to add to our collection. We have been hangin' on his notes since '94 and he hasn't let us down yet! When I was working at a resturant back in '02 he came through the drive-thru. I thought he was there to talk about our wedding planes so I ran outside to wait for him while he got his food but he kept driving so...... I guess not. Nevertheless he is now a father, a husband and one of the greatest talents of my generation. He has gracefully dealt with negative comments surrounding his ex-girlfriend and his marriage to the mother of his son. Yet and still he keeps crankin' out the hits!

While I cry at night over the fact that him and I will never be together, I can't help but get on my feet when I hear the first single from "Here I Stand" called "Love In This Club". Then he makes you feel sexy(as if I could be any more sexy) with "Love You Gently". He nearly brought me to tears with "Prayer For You". And there's even a cut with Brooklyn's Finest, the Jigga Man himself.

His second single "Moving Mountains", which he created with The Dream, is a powerful, in your face, ballad that basically lets you know he is a grown man. As I flip through the inside cover I am starring at just that. A man that handles his B.I. and knows who he is. Not one hint of arrogance flows from his spirit as he wears his signature "Usher" jeans. He ends the album with the perfect ballad titled "Here I Stand" which has the smell of jazz as it comes through the speakers. But the undeniably hottest track is....can I get a drum roll please.... number 16! What's the name of it you ask? What....you don't have the cd yet? *R&B Chick*
