You know I hate these “trailers” and “sneak peeks”. Seriously, it’s like your video is not a worldwide event. We don’t care for the most part. We will watch it once and most likely forget about you after that!

Usher is no exception to the rule. For an artist who once had “superstar” status, his star has greatly dimmed over the past couple of years. Call it age, lack of originality in music, personal life drama, whatever — basically, the focus has shifted from his music to him.

This trailer for his new single “Daddy’s Home” seems like a lame & desperate attempt to put Usher back on “sex symbol” status, with him resorting to the old trick of showing his abs. Abs which now have kids, drama, crazy exes, bills and a mediocre material behind the voice that weakly is still trying ton convince us that he’s the man. Do better!

Usher is starting to seemingly be a bit of a legend in his own mind, and if this newest album of his doesn’t show growth, maturity and ground-breaking-forward-thinking-yet-current music and lyrical depth, then he will go the way of the DoDo Bird. Especially with whipper-snappers like Trey Songz with better abs and less drama knocking at his front door…
