Usher Tworks it out on his Sophomore effort!

by Monnie1976 Monnie1976 is a Top Reviewer on Epinions in Music, Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Jan 28 '02
Pros: Great songs, everyone a potential hit, good production
Cons: Annoying cameos and some repetitive song titles.
Usher took the year by storm in 2001 with his highly successful release 8701. If any of you might be wondering why I theorize its the irresistable hooks, his silky voice and a few annoying but necessary (for the market) cameos. Last summer when I heard...

Usher's 8701: Part Playa, Part Romeo

by roheblius roheblius is a Lead on Epinions in Music, Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Aug 16 '01
Pros: When Usher wants to, he can sing
Cons: Jermaine Dupri
I wrote an entire review on Usher's first single, U Remind Me. I thought the single was great and I was eagerly anticipating his album, 8701 (take the first two digits as the year he got into the music industry and the last two digits as...

Surprisingly Good

by speeddemon531 speeddemon531 is a Top Reviewer on Epinions in Music, Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 200, Jun 06 '02
Pros: Better written songs, Usher's matured voice.
Cons: Puffy & Jermaine Dupri.
Usher always struck me as a wannabe Michael Jackson without the skills to take it to that level. However, the "8701" album was a complete surprise. Usher has grown into the "adult" content of his songs and he benefits from some great production. "8701"...

8702 – A Year Later And Usher’s 8701 Is Still Good

by cletta1201 Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 200, Aug 07 '02
Pros: Every song could potentially be a single.
Cons: Well...P.Diddy did rap.
Usher Raymond has really carved himself a unique place in R&B music. Young girls adore his boyish good looks and chiseled body, while more mature audiences revel in his smooth voice and charm. Whatever the driving force is that makes Usher so...

Mr. Raymond Is Still "Freaking You Right," But Doesn't Know How To Spell On 8701

by broomqueesha Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, Nov 20 '03
Pros: More grown up, but still with great songs and vocals.
Cons: He needs to learn how to spell "you".
The Main Idea: After the monstrous success known as My Way and the original follow-up, entitled All About U, was leaked to the Internet, Usher finally released the hotly anticipated 8701, named after its street date. Though ...

I Got It Bad but You Don't Have to Call

by youngchinq Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, Aug 22 '02
Pros: The singles are great. Decent vocals. A healthy variaty of styles.
Cons: Party songs that fail. Too much variety. P. Diddy and Jermaine Dupri
I remember this drunken argument I had with an ex-girlfriend. She thought Michael Jackson was a better dancer than Usher and convincing her otherwise was a task of futility; every argument I could come up with was soundly refuted with a, “You’re...

With 8701(import version), Usher once again uses his voice to remain on top.

by n699 , Feb 28 '04
Pros: Great lyrics, good subject matter,good songs.
Cons: Diddy and Dupri rapping, some poor beats.
R&B ATL star, Usher sang and danced his way into the top of the industry with his clever work, and catchy dance performances. Usher has a new album coming out this year after a 3-year absence. I'll review his last album right about...now! Intro-Usher ...

Plain And Simple, Mr. Raymond Made A Great Album

by whisperscream Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Jan 24 '04
Pros: Some great production and lyrics; Usher’s seemed to have matured quite a bit
Cons: Some production in spots; the singles were overplayed more than the law allows
The Main Idea: The reason why I’ll never forget the day I bought Aaliyah’s CD is because it was the day before Usher’s CD dropped. I was kinda upset that I had went the day before because I really wanted that CD but I had no choice ...

Usher Makes It In The Year Of 8701!

by sodef , Dec 27 '01
Pros: Superb production from the Neptunes and alike. Great beats and soulful vocals!
Cons: P.Diddy is a great disappointment.
This is Usher Raymond’s second attempt at a mainstream introspective beats orientated r ‘n’ b album despite 2 other low profile albums. Usher over the years has undergone a great transformation not just the way that he has matured but also the fashion...

If Usher Did it My Way, 8701 Would Have Been Much Better

by Rush584 , Jul 31 '01
Pros: U Remind Me
Cons: The other 16 tracks
Usher had a golden opportunity to make an excellent album after My Way and failed miserably. His debut CD was amazing and showed what the young man can actually do with his talent. 'You Make Me Wanna' and 'Nice and Slow' are so much better than every...

The Hottest Thing

by robin22357 , Nov 06 '02
Pros: So many good songs, Pop Ya collar
Cons: You don't have to call
what can i say about this album, it's fantastic. From the sublime YOU REMIND ME to the body popping POP YA COLLAR this album has it all. About 12/13 of the songs on this album could have easily been a single. After listening to it 3 or 4 times you will...

Usher is the next Michael Jackson

by alexandrah , Mar 24 '02
Pros: Usher has an incredible voice
Cons: Not as many catchy tunes as I thought
I love the new songs that Usher has been coming out with. I fell in love with his hit single "U Got It Bad" and "U Don't Have To Call." Now, I am the stingy college student that doesn't like to pay a lot of money for a CD, so my fellow student burned...

U Remind Me Of a Flop That I Once Heard

by lyrikalbj , Sep 07 '01
Pros: 'U Remind Me' & 'I Don't Know'
Cons: The rest of the album :OP
Yes, yes, y’all. Usher has done it again. He has managed to dupe his fans into believing that he has released an album worthy of buying rather than listening to on the radio. His third release titled 8701 has made a lot of noise with the first single ‘U...
