Advantages: Guest appereances, Usher Disadvantages: Some tracks are out of level.
Usher is very talented as an artist to take the road quickly traveled. And as a modern R&B legend, it is unfortunate that Usher did not spend more time surveying the lyrical and sonic ground that "Here IStand" stands upon. Even in this era of calculated marketing, such missteps are striking, not only because he is R&B royalty, but because the material does his vocals an injustice, by placing them on a plot of sinking sand. But whatever.
Like Barry White, Jodeci, and R. Kelly before him, R&B superstar Usher is the master of music.
Usher's biggest hit (2004) of his career thus far, "Yeah!" The single hit makes 9 million sales and making "Confessions" Usher's best selling album to date.
Till then, Usher has been involved in projects largely outside music, mainly acting both on stage and on the big screen. Apart from appearances ...
Advantages: Great music and lyrics, vocals Disadvantages: Nothing

Album Notes
After starring in Broadway musicals such as 'Rent' and 'Wicked', American singer/songwriter Idina Menzel releases 'I Stand', her third studio album. Menzel drafted in such luminaries as Glen Ballard (who produced Alanis Morrissette's monster-selling 'Jagged Little Pill'), and appears as co-writer on all but one of the ten tracks on the album proper. Veering from straight ahead rock to lighter, musical-influenced offerings, 'I Stand' is a varied and intriguing record from a technically excellent and experienced artiste.
