A Second Look Review ofConfessions - Usherby
silvajade
Advantages: Different from the other romantic slush Disadvantages: not great if you're in the partying mood.
...my other review on Usher's Confessions Albulm).
A very personal album from Usher and although the album has clean lyrics, I wouldn’t recommend children listening to the album. It is about a relationship which has just broken down over Ushers' infidelity. Usher confesses that he had an affair with another girl whom he believe he has got pregnant. The lyrical content of this album is great as Usher confronts the issues which many of us have experienced ...

Advantages: the kind of album you can listen to from beginning to end Disadvantages: only the cover could be better!!
...men can relate to his confessions given through his songs - as no doubt many will have commited one or two of these 'crimes' that they need to confess to! Plus females have heard these types of confessions before... except in this album Usher brings these confessions to music and makes them sound good and almost any of the confessions he sings about sound apologetic and you would forgive your man!!! it's great to weep along to the sounds of 'burn' ...

Advantages: Its one of the best albums ive heard all year Disadvantages: none
This album has no disadvantages as all the songs are great. My mum even likes it , shes stolen it of me and put it in the cd player of her car! This is a great dance album and soul album as theres a mixture of songs and quite a few at that! This album isnt really too expensive its good value. You can get it in alot of shops.

This album is by far the best and catchiest out of Usher's other albums. I, personally, really admire the fact that he's written about his own personal experiences because it takes a lot of guts to let people into your personal life like this. There's some really catchy dance-like songs, great chill out tracks, and one or two ballads. I'm quite a big fan of ballads, so for me the only thing that's missing is maybe a couple more ballads, but this doesn't ...

Advantages: Lots of hits included in the album Disadvantages: A lot of songs sound simular
...biggest hits of 2004 ( confessions part 2, yeah, and burn) and they are all different but equally as meaningful. Another great song that has not been released yet is superstar part 1 and 2. Its one of the songs that you will know you wont get out of your head for days and it will really annoy you but you will still love it! The weak links in this album are Can you handle it, simple things, and truth hurts as they all sound the same but even those ...

Advantages: Great Songs, no need to skip a single track!!! Disadvantages: Some songs have simular backgrounds, beats, etc
..."the guilt" which would be confessions part one and two and ofcourse the realisation of your ways which is simple things.
Never have I heard an album where you get all the true sides of a person. This album is honest and very well written.
The fast songs are absolutely contagious and will have you humming all day. The slow songs really hit you, as there is so much meaning.
I have both the first version and the limited edition. There are great songs ...

Advantages: Great smooth, sensual music Disadvantages: You wont want to listen to anything else if you have this
...slow seductive songs like Burn, Confessions part II and My Boo this album manages to show the versatility and already obvious talents of Usher.
The CD includes the long overdue (in my opinion) collaboration between the prince and princess of R'n'B: Usher and Alicia Keys. Other high profile artists adding their input include king of crunk Lil' Jon, Ludacris and Jadakiss.
For those of you put off by the numerous single releases on the album don't ...

Advantages: Soulfull, Meaningfull album Disadvantages: Difficult task to live up to previous album
...write these songs, notably in confessions part two, where he admits to cheating on his girlfriend (chilli from TLC) and the pain that incident occurred and then the track Burn and obvious emotional track. But he also still keeps some upbeat tunes with the help of Lil John in Yeah, a huge club hit.
There is no doubt in my mind that this is a good album, and that Usher is an extremely talented young man, but the success of 8701 may of been a slight ...

ive never been a big fan of usher so when my friend brought me his album i wasnt to sure about it but after listening to it i have found that it is an excellent album with a great selection of songs on it and alot of them i can releate to .
usher's songs seem to be about things that happen in everyday life which is why i think this cd is so good and alot of the songs make you think about things thats happening in your life but at the same time ...

Advantages: Soulful yet not too mellow Disadvantages: none
...around his own experiences particularly confessions where in places you just think Oh God. I like the originality of all the tracks , he is still using guitars but not to a point of becoming commercial pop. Some of the tracks like Can you handle it is perfect for a lazy Sunday.Play on and enjoy. Every single track has its own beat and still manages to remain strictly Usher. Well done ...

Advantages: Different songs for different moods Disadvantages: quite emotional
This album is very good as it has various genres of songs, romantic,up-beat and very emotional songs. Whatever mood your in there will be a song to fit your mood.
I could actually relate to some of the things he was saying!
Confessions is definately the best song on the album, I think its so good becuase it actually happened,so its coming from the heart!
Yea feat Lil Jon is a quality song to get you ready for a big night out wid da girlies!
Everyone ...
