"Can L4M outsell THRILLER?"


  

          

New Usher got potential. It is a HOT album(deluxe edition version) with alot of different styles of music. Something for everyone. Lastly, with the internet giving artists more exposure worldwide. It could happen. I know sales of this album will take off in the next few months.

You are so right. It wasn't an excellent album. I found myself skipping tracks. It even didn't get an immediate second spin by me. I'm loving the new Usher though.

With the Internet exposure, it has the potential. The album has a nice mix of very good to excellent songs.

In response to Reply # 0
Mon Jun-25-12 11:33 AM by Joe Corn Mo

  

          

nowadays, music icons can't generate the same kind of attention they used to.

music stars are competing with a trillion channels on direct tv, xbox, the entire internet,
netfix, and a marketplace where there is more music than ever being released.



as a result, no one thing can hold EVERYBODY'S attention.


notice that in the 80s, everybody saw the batman movie,
or at least knew what it was.

similarly, everybody on the planet knew who MJ was.




meanwhile, right now...today, avatar is the highest grossing movie ever,
but if you talk to an old lady in your office about it, she'll probably say "what's an avatar?"

Wayne is the hottest rapper out right now (i think?) but
there are folks that have never heard a song by him because the Internet has allowed them
the luxury of only listening to what they want to. some folks never hear new music
b/c they want to download polka bands instead.



our culture is so fragmented that it's hard for anything to become a worldwide phenomenon.



especially not an album, in an era where barely anybody even pays for music anymore.






the closest thing we've had to a world-wide, thriller like level of enthusiasm
for ANYTHING was Obama in '08.




do you remember how improbable that was?
does usher look like he's poised to pull something like that off?


could ANY musician do that?
I'd say no.

musicians these days are too accessible. They have no mystique.
twitter and tmz makes everybody too accessible, so they can't become "stars."


I never wonder what beyonce is "really" like because i see her all the time.
meanwhile, i used to always wonder about MJ because he shrouded himself in mystery.
he released two (2) albums in the eighties,
and never gave interviews. so of course you can sell dozens of millions of copies.

but artists these days don't have mystique.
the only artists i can think of that has any mystery to her is lady gaga,
and although she is moving units... she ain't moving thriller numbers.

like i said, nobody can.




nobody cares about usher like that.

they couldn't if try wanted to.



the superstar era is gone, for better and for worse.



so, no.
not a chance in hell.

Usher is a superstar. We shall see over the next few months about the sales. They need to scrap the regular edition of this album. The deluxe is what people need to hear.

>Usher is a superstar.

mention usher to an old lady at your church.
see if she knows who she is.

she'll think you are talking about the folks
that seat them on sunday.



now ask them if they've heard of Madonna. Or Michael Jackson.


THEY are superstars.

Usher is not. He's famous. There's a difference.

21. "in truth he should have been on pace after "confessions""
In response to Reply # 0


          

however lets deduct the obvious reasons why not

Usher ain't had no money tracks since when? 1)

he lost fans after his marriage and i don't like going personal at all, however he did suffer a backlash their 2)

he got old to alot of his fans and they moved on to CHris Brown, trey songz who ate a little bit into his pocket 3)

if he had have kept challenging himself and not come off like a long riding MJ jacker and had a real producer, give him some real songs, instead of beats and grooves, music with substance and Protein, then he might have been on a pace to do some serious numbers 4)

i mean lets be real about Usher, Confessions by itself has sold about almost all of Beyonce's total sales in America alone and yet she is the bigger icon so that in itself speaks volumes and confessions is 8 years old so that tells me with the right record and at the right time you can sell still no matter what the climate of downloading. 5)

this album ain't but another dime a dozen in the euro mafia sped up beats and sounds department. this cat outta be in his prime and he has crazy cross over appeal, however his songs are wick wack and his overall persona is tired. nobody is checking for him like that. 6)

he has longevity, past hits and respect as a live performer,etc.. borderline Hall of famer, but the days of mega sales and hype out of this world for him are long gone, unless he does some real songs.

he should have had a whole lot more in truth. this garbage he does wouldn't make it at the sanford and son compound

39. "Usher is not in that class any longer"
In response to Reply # 26


          

and like i said this cat was doing macy's commericals with Martha Stewart and had a crazy pass.

Problem with Usher is that his albums since confessions are as forgotten as quickly as his film career.

Usher can perform and tour and make that loot, however his prime and peak are yesterdays news.

like i said had he gotten with the right writer and producer and challenged himself then maybe a slight maybe, however Usher is making faceless music and voiceless tracks and passing it off as something to represent and its cold.

he right now ain't going to do much business ahead of chris brown let alone Michael Joe Jackson and its on him and his creative choices

dude hates Michael Jackson 1)

dude hates thriller 2)

dude wasn't around back in the day to truly understand the way thriller broke down, barriers and walls 3)

dude thinks a slick jive turkey like Usher who is a broke MJ of the worst kind and still hasn't discovered one original part of his being after almost 20 years in the business is going to have an album surpass or match thriller as a Artistic or sales statement? 4)

Usher doesn't even listen to that trash on the low, its just he has to do whatever he has to do to keep a hit and he wants to be that dude, though nobody is paying usher that kinda attention in terms of being that dude anymore 5)

poor Peanut head turkey is stuck with alot of euro trash sounding songs and a voice that is burried amongest that mix

I mean, seriously, out-selling Thriller? Seriously? In this day and age? Seriously? After only moving 100K it's first week? This has to be some weird attempt at humor. Or it's one of the most massive fails ever conceived on this board.

Does this include the album dwnld? Also, some folks may have been waiting to get the deluxe edition because it has the better tracks. I see a gazillion copies of the regular but hardly the deluxe. I dwnld the deluxe because I didn't see the deluxe cd.
