[@Cyrae2011]

There does need to be separation because people cannot have a convo about one of these two without comparing the other to them. This is Usher’s moment, let him have it. Excited to watch him perform. He’s amazing! But also to the people talking crazy about Chris- Please stop acting like that man is not so great that he couldn’t be cancelled even tho EVERYONE tried. Literally Usher calls him a legend so just stop coming at him already. If the Rihanna situation never happened….Chris would be on top of everything and even with the Rihanna situation, that would’ve destroyed ANYONE else’s career, he’s still a legend.

[@sdbeast1638]

Couldn’t of said it better myself. No need to compare nor bring down one man/woman to uplift another. People just want to hate on Chris cause of that situation whether they admit it or not but he’s clearly an iconic staple in music forever and is the most talented singer AND artist we have in music today. Agreed, let’s allow Usher to have his moment.

[@jonahsevume3949]

I agree to a lesser extent though. I feel Chris has been overlooked because of his past and controversies that have followed him. There are solid arguments for who is a better singer and albums and so on but if we are looking at overall talent and stage presence and performance, no one in this day and era comes close to Chris Brown.

[@mrhussain9008]

I think Breezy is the most talented artist if this generation but he isn't even bigger than The Weeknd right now. Weeknd can sell out stadiums across the globe. Breezy doesn't do that. That Rihanna thing really stopped him being Drake, Rihanna, Beyonce level stardom

Okay, so Joe Budden is a hater of Usher. A couple of weeks ago, he was being disrespectful saying the song Good Good was written by AI. Now, he is saying Usher separating himself from Chris Brown.

Thriller and 1999 came out in 1982. Purple Rain (1984) was the 3rd blockbuster of the 80s by a black artist after MJ's Thriller and Lionel Richie's Can't Slow Down.

Usher has the best album, but breezy has too many huge hits. Usher still hasn’t given a hit song from recent years, on the other hand breezy had song of the year with “no guidance” and then later on “under the influence”. Usher’s classics have aged well but there’s nothing from recent, whereas breezy with all the canceling is still producing hits. I thinks it’s breezy that we need to look at in a different light.

Exactly, they stay sleeping on Chris' career not realizing the man has given us at LEAST one hit record EVERY year since he debuted in 2005. 18 years later and he hasn't slowed down in the slightest.

Not letting up off the gas 18 years into your career is not something to scoff at
