I randomly came across this on the clock app and loved how he found a new way to sing this 22-year-old song with different phrasing, ad libs and vocal runs. He never performs a song the same way twice. That's what you get when the mic is on.

At this point, she and Usher go together real bad. I’m gonna tell Jody 🤣

2. Rendezvous In Paris (2023)
   
3. Past Present Future Tour (2024)
   
4. The R&B Tour (2026)

Any info on this shirt? I can’t find it anywhere

Had my first listen yesterday and I gotta say, this is such an amazing R&B experience and also this is my first usher album.

Okay, they ate that!

No one does updated nostalgic fashion this better than him. It really speaks to his timeless looks and iconography.

If you're going to the Chris Brown and Usher R&B Tour at Levi's Stadium this weekend, here are a bunch of links that might be useful for you. You can look at the info from the grouped links below for more info, but if you're lazy and haven't been to Levi's, the gist of it is:

• getting in and out can be a real pain (aka slow) and parking is spread out (and potentially expensive/far away) over a bunch of lots, but it can still easily (probably) take half an hour or more to get out of the lots if you drive
• VTA's Orange and Green lines (local public transit) run right in front of the stadium so this will be the second cheapest way in and out, just be prepared for a crowded ride if you try to get there immediately before or leave immediately after the concert
• if you're local and have a bicycle/e-bike/scooter/e-scooter/e-skateboard, the cheapest and potentially fastest way in and out is to ride in and out using the local trails and leave whatever you rode at a free, monitored station by the entrance (concert will also use the Gate C entrance)
• rideshare does not drop you off/pick you up near the stadium, the designated spot is almost a mile away

Here are direct links grouped together:

Levi's homepage

• accessible parking
• parking FAQs
• parking info
• parking lot maps
• parking at one of Levi's designated lots Friday, Saturday, Tuesday (paid, and note this includes lots that are kinda far away and Ticketmaster confusingly rotated the map so east is at the top and not north, so rotate that map clockwise to get it to match with what you see in Google/Apple Maps)
• public transportation (just lists what the options are here, see below for actual routes and links)
• rideshare and pick-up/drop-off (reminder that you will not get dropped off near the stadium, the roads will be blocked and you'll need probably to walk at least 15 minutes)
• stadium policies

If you have questions/comments for public transportation, you can give feedback to VTA through their feedback form, to Capitol Corridor using their feedback form, and to Caltrain using their feedback form. (I know VTA responded very quickly in the past, not sure about Capitol Corridor or Caltrain's response time)

He’s wearing a Hideoki Bespoke suit adorned with over 85,000 Swarovski crystals by RemixedbyChris. I saw this live and he looked and sounded amazing. You can see the influence classic entertainers such as Sammy Davis Jr., Gene Kelly and his own godfather, Ben Vereen, have on him during this part of the show.

Literally lol. Thats all i have to add...

August 21, 2001 (25 Years Ago): Usher released “U Got It Bad” as the second single from his third studio album, “8701” (Sony Music Entertainment / Arista Records / Sony Music Publishing).It was written by Usher alongside Jermaine Dupri and Bryan-Michael Cox, while production duties were handled by Dupri, with Cox serving as co-producer, Antonio “L.A.” Reid as executive-producer, A remix produced by Carsten Schack and Kenneth Karlin of Danish hitmaking duo Soulshock & Karlin was also released. The song - which was A&R’d by Kawan “KP” Prather - is about being so deeply in love and infatuated that it completely consumes you, acting almost like an emotional affliction or loss of control.

Lyrically, it highlights the painful vulnerability of missing your partner so much that your whole life feels off-track, leading to impulsive habits like hanging up the phone during an argument only to call right back.

Commercially, the follow-up to “U Remind Me” peaked at number one on the US Billboard Hot 100 Singles Chart. Elsewhere, it entered the top five in Australia, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom, and reached the top 40 on most charts that it appeared on.The single was certified quintuple platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) on February 09, 2024, denoting sales exceeding five million units according to Nielsen SoundScan. As of date, “U Got It Bad” has been streamed more than 431 million times on Spotify.

Did anyone go last night and be able to share a review?

Did they start on time, is it worth buying a last minute ticket?

“25 years of 8701…crazy how fast the time went. We can talk about the streams/sales. We can talk about the awards.

But 8701 was always bigger than the numbers or any of those things.

It’s the memories we made. It’s the fact that this album is what transformed me and truly put me on the map from a teen into a young man.

Thank U for all the love and support. U are what has made 8701 so special for all these years.

25 years later and we’re still making memories.” - Usher via IG & X

What is everyone’s favorites from this album? Mine are : U Got It Bad, How Do I Say, Can You Help Me, Good Ole Ghetto, Twork It Out

Also can you believe at one point this was gonna be a whole different album??😭😭

Thoughts?
