In some ways, “Confessions Part II” fits into a grand tradition of R&B storytelling. So these were somebody’s confessions, even if they weren’t Usher’s.
Instead, chief Usher collaborator Jermaine Dupri later confirmed that “Confessions Part II” was, in fact, his own story. But that doesn’t mean that “Confessions Part II” is fiction. Usher never had to tell a girlfriend that he’s gotten some other girl pregnant. These are not really Usher’s confessions. I love it.įor all its apparent emotional shitbaggery, “Confessions Part II” is pure theater. But who is he kidding? Who would give anybody another chance after some shit like that? Who would be able to look at this guy the same way again? The story behind “Confessions Part II” is heavy shit, and yet Usher delivers it while wailing in a buttery falsetto and hitting all kinds of fancy footwork in the video. And hopefully, you’ll give him another chance. He hopes you can accept the fact that he’s man enough to tell you this. He’s about to tell you, the woman he loves, that he’s having a baby by a woman that he barely even knows.
Instead, he’s about to admit to relationship sins so vast and consequential that they would barely even work as credible soap opera fodder. It sounds like Usher is about to perform a magic trick or a double backflip. The “watch this” whisper is funny because it sounds like showing off.
