Its Okay

Review Score:

(6/10)
This album was Usher's second I believe and it did not suffer the Sophmore Jinx. Why? Because it is a Masterpiece! I am a 47 year old woman and I love this guy. There are very few young artist out there who seem to have taken charge of their of their destiny like Usher.. he actually can sing which doesn't seem to be a requirement these days to sell albums. He can act. I first caught him acting on my grandmother's soap the Bold and the Beautiful, who at the age of 100 became a fan of Usher. I saw him in a few movies and Soul Food since. This album 8701 has everything on it. It is better then Confessions..which is still a good Cd. 8701 always puts me in a good mood. I have one problem, which brings me to Amazon. Someone took my Cd and I have to buy another one...no it wasn't my grandmother. One can see how good this cd is because even if bought used it still demands a 10.00 price tag. Pretty good for a CD that is a few years old. I know Usher has legions of fans. But people should not dismiss this man as just another young R&B artist. Someone in the NY Daily News called him a rapper, clearly not correct. This young man is a renaissance man in the vain of Sting. Who does just about everything. But Usher has one up even on Sting.. he can dance. I have been listening and collecting music for years and this album reminds me of a Main Ingredient Album something that is old but you still listen to all of the time.
