    Love this song. It's lit and Usher made it Usher Pop. Ester is an amazing song writer. The girl got skills in teaching him on what to focus so he can get better. Very happy Usher chose his first song. Songland amazing platform. Can't wait for Season 3

    Great insight into a collaborative song writing moment. The riffing in the critique, punching it up with “ hip hop sounds” I legit heard those missing vocals while he was singing,

    God forgive me as I am a woman who is spoken for…. But G’Damn !!! Not only is Usher breathtaking beautiful, a man that doesn’t age, but he is by far one of the most continuously and consistently one of most talented R&B singers out there! Has been for years!

    Usher did his thang on his version of this song. He killed it....I could also see Justin Bieber doing a version of a song closer to the original. They could have left of the rap part though.

    I wish they didn't re-pitch it and speed it up. I liked the laid-back vibe and it would have been cool to hear from Usher. He could've gone nuts over the top of it building it up as a crescendo. I liked the Ester version

    I like the song cuz it's definitely a chilled vibe...can do without the rap because Tyga voice so strong...lessens the chill to me...

      @earlclark6002 Год назад +2

      Definitely could’ve seen the original or re-written as a Drake song. But then I hear what Usher did with it & it sticks. Never released it for billboard but it was my song for the summer

    This song was is the weakest of the final 3. I’m surprised that Usher picked it, but then again this is a super easy song to sing

      Usher really saw the potential in it. The other songs were probably too typical for Usher.

  • @Alumaniac
    @Alumaniac 4 года назад +8

    Man. Love this song, but the rap lyrics threw me off. It's like 2 different song themes. I like the rap tempo and cadence, but thats it. If someone can remix this song and replace that part with something relevant it's a daily listen for me.

    • @jaslenelove7008
      @jaslenelove7008 2 года назад

      He literally rapped about things that are related to Cali, paparazzi, palm trees, tanning, LeBron and the Lakers. Tf are you talking about?

    • @MisterFoxx
      @MisterFoxx 4 года назад +1

      The original was so boring and not dynamic and almost sounded too much like a Drake song (which isn’t really a bad thing) but it needed some depth and to fit Usher. Usher and Ester beefed it up.
