DAMN....USHER IS ALREADY TALKING ABOUT RE-RELEASNG 'HERE I STAND' [EVEN BEFORE ORIGINAL CD HAS YET TO DROP]....

Usher's smash hit album 'Confessions' is what catapulted him into the mega-star that he is today, having gone Diamond in the United States. But when his arch rival Justin Timberlake had the Rollingstone cover proclaiming the former N-Sync singer as the new King of Pop, I remember when this infuriated Usher to the ninth power. And he went onto say the following: "There simply is no comparison between me and Justin. He can't even stand in the same lane as me, ever."

Marriage and fatherhood appears to have tamed Usher for the greater good. Apparently, the 29-year-old has apologised for his not-so-off-the-mark comments: "I regret it, because he's a great friend of mine now. I was young and didn't know better. We were both being kids and he turned out to be a really cool guy, and we're talking about doing something together for the repackaging of my album. If we ever worked together, though, it would be the biggest record ever." Repackaging? Guess he feels really good about his album's potential for success. It's as if he's admitting to the new CD being crap and that a collaboration with JT would save it should the album tank. Sorry Usher, but FutureSex/LoveSounds DOES shit on Here I Stand. Usher is CLEARLY the better artist of the two (vocally and stage-wise) but carrying on the feud in this day and age would be childish especially since Chris Brown is kicking both their asses in imitating Michael Jackson.
