    Calm down child, this video is no worse than anything that\’s come out in the past few decades. I think it was tastefully done. Very well shot and some nice work done with the concept of the song. He needed this single a long time ago though. What is with artists (such as Usher and Mariah) waiting so long to release a decent single off their albums?

    Anyhow, Chris Robinson did his thing.

    This video is indeed beautiful, but I believe it is too much…it cries out DESPERATE…and also I’m assuming that he and his wife are officially separated, yes? Because even though love interests in videos are a part of the music business, as a wife, I don’t think I’d be able to allow this…it’s just too much…but it is very tastefully done.

    Wow. That video was pure sex, and nothing but sex, lol. I wonder if MTV will play this before the watershed hours. I doubt it. I mean, it’s not that far off from softcore porn really. Would you want your kids watching this at 8am in the morning? I was particularly liking the invisible piano concept. I liked how the video had little to zero choreography because for certain type of songs, it’s just unnecessary. I loved the video because sex is to be celebrated but maybe he could have tamed it down some instead of having an entire video full of sex scenes. I’m pretty sure his deeply insecure wife Tameka loved it as well.

    I didn\’t see anything wrong with the video, it\’s not like it was tasteless or anything. I would also like to add that i don\’t mind any music videos with a shirtless Usher in it, haha.

    Damn people out there kill me…I think this video is GREAT..What makes this video so bad? i bet if Usher wasnt married everyone wouldnt be tripping off this video..My thing is his wife knows that this is the entertainment industry and she knew that when she married him so a racy video here and there shouldnt bother her. There have been other videos by other married Artist and no one has ever been so “disgusted or shamed” Its just entertainment people Damn

    I still love Usher\’s voice. But personally,I feel that this video was over the top. Excellent footage for a movie but too much for T.V.

    I think that Usher should had “traded places” and put a beautiful Black woman such as Kenya Moore( my sista) in his video. Black woman such as myself are so breath-taking and these Black men make me sick by ignoring the mother of the universe for pale White women, and hairy Hispanics women

    That video was not that bad.. as people make it seem to be… I think it was tastefull… I dotn think he over did it… The song is a sex song… Its talking about trading places in bed… fliping and turning and thing of that nature around sex… There were no body parts shown that arent shown throughout the day… She had on sexy panties… and he had on his boxer briefs… I actually didnt expect the video to be that good… I like it… Its about time he got a good single out off that album… He got a few more good songs on that album…. Not his best collection of music but its good… TWO THUMBS UP USHER!!!

    I loved the video. It was so hot. This is what Usher is about and what has made him successful. Why should that change now that he is married. Tameka knew what she was getting herself into when she married Usher. If she can’t handle it, get ta steppin! Continue to do your thing bruh, and welcome back!
