Do you notice that Usher sings a song every time he breaks up with his lady?  

Cream97, in many cases, a breakup is due to some issue big or small that forms a wedge. One may do a lot of good deeds when still maintaining a relationship, but when that relationship sours, the parties concerned may try to put each other down. I remember having done a few good deeds but when a petty issue crops up, whatever good done, is ignored, until the wounds heal but the scars will still remain. This is the world dear. Cheers

So many artists make money out of their situations, good or bad. Heck even ordinary people do that. I can understand ordinary people doing it to make a few extra bucks, but celebrities have more money than they know what to do with. Although I think it's wrong I still like his music.

I believe it is entitled "Papers" only. :D

Anyway, Taylor Swift does that, too. :D She writes songs about the guys she dated and the breakups she had as well. I think it's pretty normal because they're composers/singers so they write their hearts out. I'm sure it's not just Usher who does that. But I do get your point, though. It's like ranting put into music.

I agree and yet, I disagree. The thing is, I'm a lyricist so I do understand a part of where Usher is coming from with his songs. As someone else noted, Taylor Swift does this as well, but so do many other popular artists. Justin Timberlake also did a song about Britney a few years ago, very publicly (Cry Me a River, right? I think). I write a lot of lyrics, a lot of songs about people I know. To say that I wouldn't tell people what they're about is a lie, because I love to do the lyrical interpretation thing and the song is like he's way of releasing some pent up emotions. To me, better a song than someone else! However, maybe he could have been more mysterious with the subject matter - could have been about it, without being so obvious about what it's about - yet, like I said, as a lyricist, we like to get out our anger, our love, our sadness in songs.

Haha ya you are indeed correct. It seems like relationships aren't his strong point at the moment. It must be something wrong with his commitment to one woman or something. It seems like he always regrets breaking up with her because he does create an apology song. All I know is that I am very excited to hear his new album Raymond vs. Raymond coming out this year!!!

I'm just glad he's back on the market!! but you really can notice the change in his music. Still love him!!

Sorry, I don't listen to his kind of music. Thanks anyway for asking.
