Okay thinking about today's music industry, the music nearly of one artist nearly sounds the same of the next. Back in the day of the mid 90's, music was hot, happening and wild and this album is just one example of what people were bumping to back in those days.

Although many people critize this album to be very short, it's very good and has no bad songs as the advantage of being short. The hit "You Make Me Wanna" exposed Usher to be the public and this album was soon made a hit in 1997. The album has many sounds most of them linked to Hip-Hop in a way. There's also quite a few guest appearances on this album.

J.D was one of the people who really believed in this album and produced some of it's track, not to mention being featured in one. Usher also features R&B singer Monica on the album's longest track "Slow Jam" Surprisingly tha Queen Bee of Brooklyn, Lil' Kim herself makes an appearance on "Just Like Me" using her foul mouth to match the beat of the street!

The albums ballads are excellent from "Nice and Slow" to "Bedtime" it's relaxing. There ain't really dance tracks, there's just soothing R&B/Hip-Hop tracks like "Just Like Me" "My Way" and "You Make Me Wanna"

The album is worth the money. Even though it's 10-tracked and number 10 only seems to be an extended version of number 1, the album is still worth every penny. Cop it, it's hot. Usher da man!

As a listener of R&B/Hip Hop I find that most of the songs on one CD are generally the same, but with this particular Cd you've got a variety of songs. If you wanna relax you might listen to the sultry sound of Monica and Usher in "Slow Jam", if you wanna listen to something that will add a little romance to your mood you might wanna check the sexy grooves of "Nice & Slow" or if you're looking for something to cruise with the crew then check out the queen herself LIL KIM and Usher busting the rhymes with "Just Like Me" or the chill out hook with "My Way", if you wanna dance or chill, pump up "You Make Me Wanna..". Any which way you listen to this Cd will keep you happy, a true hit. I loved the Cd and still do after owning for so long! Well Done Mr. Raymond!

Usher does very well in his 2nd CD and with Notable tracks "You Make Me Wanna", "Nice & Slow", "Bedtime", and "My Way"...... He deserves to be the best artist out there right now....

You Make Me Wanna- 14 straight weeks at #1 on the billboard charts... what more do i Have TO SAY??

Just Like Me- One of the best tracks on here..... With Lil' Kim

Nice & Slow- Classic... Sexual and slow....

Slow Jam- Good remix with Monica.... A good SLOW JAM

My Way- One of three singles on this CD and the video made this off the chain...

Come Back- One of my favorites on the CD.... excellent track..

I will- Also one of my favorites... Usher turns back to lover boy in this one...

Bedtime- One of the singles but on Usher LIVE... tied with Nice & Slow for the best slow jam on the album...

One Day You'll be Mine- Good Track... beat is one of the best on the album

Top 3

1)Nice & Slow (tie)
1)Bedtime
3)You Make Me Wanna

i liked this album, but only a few songs. i mean u have songs on the album that aren't anything like the singles. "my way", "nice and slow" & "u make me wanna" sound nothing like the rest of the album. the album though doesn't have any tracks at all that were like the singles. and in fact they aren't even good songs:

"just like me" featuring rap sex kitten lil kim is off the chain. her raps are what make the album bare the explicit advisory sticker. still the track is kinda slow but up-beat at the same time. the way that usher mixes rnb & rap is really cool, and who doesn't like it.

perhaps the best song on the album though is "slow jam" with rnb sensation, and new and upcoming diva monica. after releasing 2 multi-platinum albums, the two finally hooked back after there 94-95 teaming. now let me ask this? didn't this song already appear on a soundtrack before this album dropped?

"bedtime", "i will", "come back" & "one day you'll be mine" are more weak tracks, and if that isn't bad enough, he has an extended version of the first single on his album for the closing tracks. this album was short to begin with and the "you make me wanna" is on there twice & "slow jam" is from a different album. does anyone else see a problem with that?

Despite his lukewarm exposure prior to 1997, Usher essentially burst onto the r&b scene with "My Way." Its been close to six years since and this album keeps sounder better and better. The low number of tracks (9 original ones, 1 remix) helps this album avoid the common pitfall of having numerous mediocre tracks. In fact, every song with the exception of the boring, Blackstreet sounding "I Will" is worth a hard listen.

Usher's exposure was aided by the excellent balance between ballads and uptempo songs. The upbeat "You make me wanna" dominated airplay and created great interest in the album. The popularity of the second single "Nice & Slow" was somewhat puzzling to me (as I would rank it as the sixth best song on the album). However, the popularity that song experienced can't be denied. The real gems on this album, aside from the first single, are "Bedtime", the upbeat "Come Back" featuring Jermaine Dupri, and "One day you'll be mine." Another track worthy of mention is the Dupri-beated "Just like Me" featuring the foul mouthed Lil' Kim.

It wouldn't be appropriate to mention this cd without acknowledging the incredible producers, most notably Jermaine Dupri, who really turn this 10 track album into an r&b classic.

I normally don't like rap, but when I heard Usher/My Way for the first time I fell in love with some of the songs on this Grammy-nominated second CD by Atlanta native Usher. This CD isn't only rap but R&B. I enjoy Usher's smooth voice and the romantic lyrics he sings, especially in such tracks as the smoldering "Slow Jam" duet with Monica, the gentle yet sexy "I Will" with its catchy backbeat and sensual lyrics, and "One Day You'll Be Mine" which is good for either dancing or, shall I say, more intimate endeavors.

So even if you don't like rap, you might want to listen to Usher/My Way and maybe you'll be just as impressed as I was by this young man's voice and talent. He has released several other albums since this 1997 production (which also comes in a clean, less explicit edition), so if you like the material on this CD, maybe you'll listen to newer offerings by Usher such as 8701 and U-Turn.

no matter how old this cd this is....it is still awesome! usher always has awesome dance music and i absolutely love some of the slow songs on this cd!

Before the hype, before the public breakup with TLC vixon Chili, before Usher became better defined by his ego than his six-pack...there was 'My Way'. Now unless you've seen 'Usher: Behind the Music' you probably think this is his debut album, because until 'You Make me Wanna...' hit the air waves no one knew who this kid was, but once it did hit everyone was soon well versed in the school of Usher. From sick beats and classic old school vibe on tracks like the aforementioned, the title track and the dirty 'Just Like Me' featuring Lil' Kim, to slow jams for the more intimate of occasions like 'Bedtime' or my personal favorite 'Nice & Slow' Usher brings top game to this brilliant album. Only 9 tracks long, 10 if you count the extended version of 'You Make me Wanna...' (which isn't that much different than the original) Usher doesn't leave room for filler, and that's good because every track here is really good. So yes, Usher was and still is a great singer, but here we get a glimpse of 'pre-big-head' Usher, you know, the way we like him.

Usher has got so many good albums and this is definately one of them! You Make Me Wanna, Nice and Slow,and My Way are the 3 best songs on the album, the others are also good.This CD is so good it sold 6 million copies and won a grammy award. This CD is for anyone into Usher or R&B music.

Usher did a great job on this cd. There's a good combination of dance and slow songs. It did a good job of showing his talents. It also shows his flexibility because Usher is a R&B singer, not a rapper, but he has some nice blended tracks on this cd. It's definitely worth buying and you can listen to it from back to front, which is rare these days.
