When you put artists this big and talented in a booth together you expect to get something that will be remembered forever. Not so much in this case. Although its a really good song and both artists are friends to the blog, this could have been so much better. Simply put, they played it safe. Mary is now really tasting global success (itunes, Chevrolet, Oprah) and she is staying on track with dollar signs. I mean who could really blame her. "Shakedown" is not from the days of Mary and KC, but nor is Mary the type of woman she was back then. She is grown, usher is growing up and maybe this was their compromise of adolescent and maturing adult with still looking to be commercially friendly in a language the urban consumers will still be able to understand..............OK that was alot. Fan of Mary and Usher or not, its still a good track, but more of a lukewarm than HOT. Did someone say crazy remix featuring... Who do you think?
