Hit: 5 Stars
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.

This is Usher's best album. It's better than "My Way", and "Confessions." Nuff said.Free Music Review: Smooth and Seductive R&B...
Hit: 5 Stars
It is very rare for me to come across a true R&B CD I can listen to all the way through and not change a song on the first listen or on any listen afterwards. Usher's first hit CD, My Way, just displayed Usher's singing ability and also some of his writing skills while his latest effort, Confessions, is definately more adult oriented. However, Usher's 8701 ranks up there with Boyz II Men's II for the quality and smooth R&B it has from the beginning of the CD until the end. The interludes and intro are well placed but not overdone like they are on other albums. I never was a huge fan of "U Remind Me" when it first came out but it does set the stage for "I Don't Know" and I actually appreciate it much more now. If anything, those two tracks are the weakest tracks on the whole album. "Twork It Out" is absolutely seductive and amazing along with the ballad "U Got It Bad" following in a wonderful R&B fashion that's so amazing and smooth. "If I Want To" and "I Can't Let U Go" are great songs with different beats but they stand out even more so because of their lyrics. "U Don't Have to Call" slows down the beats and the mood before the interlude "Without U". Combining "Without U" and "Can U Help Me" makes up the best set in the whole CD. "Can U Help Me" is one of the most tender and outstanding R&B ballads in a long time (think Boyz II Men in the mid-90s) lyrically, musically, and in every way. "How Do I Say" and "Hottest Thing" run on the same type of theme about praising and admiring a woman while "Good Ol' Ghetto" and "U-Turn" go back to a more party vibe and feel. "U R the One" ends of the CD in a club feel and paves the way to realizing that Usher will have club tracks on his next album too. However, this song has a good vibe and ends off the album strong. 8701 isn't one of those run of the mill R&B albums with a couple of songs that stand out. Rather, it's an album that flows like a story from beginning to end and the various forms R&B takes on the album makes 8701 one of the best R&B records penned in the new millenium so far.

that this cute little guy by the name of Usher who came out with the awesome "My Way" would grow up to be an arrogant womanizer with about as much originality as Britney Spears. Grow up Usher. Be a man. You either have the talent/personality/ and originality or you don't. Leave r & b and go be one of Brit's back up dancers.
