Usher Raymond was all smiles as he was spotted celebrating his 34th birthday at a London nightspot last week.
Just days before, Raymond launched his latest video for “NUMB,” where he is shown dancing inside of a glass box.
When asked about the concept for the video, Usher explained:
You know, I live my life in a glass box and every move, everything that I do is kind of speculated or either spoken about in some way and I never really can speak about it myself.
This kind of gave me the opportunity to open up and just be vulnerable.
Chile I guess…. But as for his new gig on NBC’s “The Voice,” Usher’s not too keen on exposing any “vulnerabilities,” in fact, his ‘holier than thou’ attitude is reportedly rubbing the other judges the wrong way!
Details + check out behind the scenes photos from Usher’s first day on the job under the cut…
Usher and his fellow judges were spotted on the set of ‘The Voice’ as they taped new episodes last week.
Tapings began last Thursday and they wrapped up Sunday afternoon.
During those 4 long days, the cast and crew filmed two episodes daily, with plenty of talent performing for the entertainers in order to put together teams for the show.
Usher & Shakira take their seats on ‘The Voice’ set…
Sources say that Shakira is delightful and giddy… and she actually dances around on the set but Ursher seems to be taking his classic superstar attitude of “I’m the KING”…
His personality just isn’t vibing with the other judges! I don’t know what it is. Maybe it’s just that “superstar” mentality of his, but he came on the set and immediately took over.
He acts like he runs things and as far as I know, he’s just a temporary cast member.
Maybe his personality will mesh as the show continues…. some things take time, right?
On a related note, check out Usher’s recent performance on UK’s Graham Norton Show, where he hit the stage with ‘Scream’….

ok soo i dont get it….is this for the nxt season or a continuation to this season,somebdy hepl me out here.
yeah i’m confused about this as well.
They’re doing back to back seasons in the Spring and Fall.
I love the Graham Norton Show, he is so funny and has the best interviews.
And somehow Michelle they will either call you a hater for writing this story or blame his behavior on Tameka! hahaha Hopefully the right person (man or woman) will come into his life and can help guide him in the right direction in his LIFE/attitude not just career.We all need a little help sometime regardless to how old we are and what our status is.
@Vay…you could not have said it any better!
"Hopefully the right person (man or woman) will come into his life and can help guide him in the right direction in his LIFE/attitude not just career.We all need a little help sometime regardless to how old we are and what our status is."
Best statement ever…very adult..some others can learn from you
well said Vay!
Don’t hold your breath. His current MOO (Method Of Operation) makes him too much money.
Unfortunately I agree…
The show will not last if they put his ugly, half flat nose ass on the show. What a piece of human waste.
Wow really with the venom? Anywho..They said the same about Christina and Cee Lo is no picnic either..Usher wil fit right in to what they are used to dealing with
I liked the performance on The Grahm Norton show. I do know that Usher is dealing with a lot and it may affect his attitude but I don’t think he means harm. He has a guard up and anyone who has been around him or dealt with him knows that he has an extravagant life but also Shelters himself.
Usher needs a complete and total personality renovation.
All I know is that he has my blessing and are always in my prayers in his endeavors. He never knows who life he will change or what a blessing his presence may be to someone else. He should try to do his best even if he’s not feeling well and to complete the mission. He has to feel his purpose and maybe that’s why his attitude is like that.
I’m tired of Usher! His old ass need to sit down…. That queen be doing the most…
I wonder who "They" are since Shakira tweeted how much fun it was working with Usher.
yup just more of her fabricated stories. Blake tweeted that he really liked Usher and even showed him his dance moves. Shakira tweeted that she had fun with Usher, so only dummies will fall for her usual lies especially seeing that those who ACTUALLY attended the show said that Usher got the most cheers.
"They" would probably be the behind the scene people, the little people like you and I that don’t mean much in celebs worlds. Most celebrities try to show unity unless theres planted drama so their comments don’t surprise me just like Ushers behavior isn’t a surprise. He seems to have a hard time being in the real spotlight these days. Wonder why
The behind the scenes people, you know people that were ACTUALLY there, not people in Atlanta said on twitter that Usher is calm and focused and also jokes a lot, Blake and Adam tease eachother alot and shakira is cute, so Atlien is just making up her own version as usual since its in her contract with Tameka to bash him and make her look good. Unfortunately 90% of Americans don’t know this website because I see the same 5 people commenting to and fro everyday believing this foolery..lol
Interesting because you seem to keep coming back for more foolery guess that makes you one of us. Lol #getyolife
@okfolks..I guess that makes you the 5th person, since I see u here quite often. See you tomorrow, honey-same time, same place.
need more interesting articles to comment on. Usher..not so much in my book… not at all interesting
Can you ever write something about Usher without putting it negatively you just love hating him ah. You remind me of Sandra Rose she never post anything good about Beyonce wat have these ppl done to ya’ll that you hate them so much. I just want to read about their latest music, movies whatever and not all this bullshit!!!GOSH!!
One could argue and say could Usher stop being so negative?! Also I didnt realize this was a music/movie(only) blog …not being smart just giving another perspective.
Why does Ms. Atlien aka Michelle Brown feels you need to bash Usher every opportunity you get, seems like you waste time invested in reporting your personal dislikes against him. You’ve consistently bashed various celebrities and artist in Atlanta on your site. Get a life and report REAL news #cantsupportthisBS
Then don’t come back sucka.
LMMFAO!!
No need for him to have a big ego. All he does is write songs about the women he’s boned. Duh??

First time here, directed to this site by way of an article on Sheree Whitfield, I decided to read more articles offered here. If u want a future in this business or elevate in life then u must become more positive and report reall diverse news that better represents ATL. Why are there so many negative articles about Usher? What is the deal? Next time I see your blog name listed somewhere I will be sure and not click on it. U don’t have to tell me not to visit this mess anymore, because I didn’t plan on it. Somebody called someone a sucka because of a complaint. Really are you twelve? Wow! This represents Atlanta? Shameful garbage, freedom of speech at its worst.
Waiting for the ahole to come and cuss lovelycoils out for telling the truth and daring to tell blogger how to run her blog in 5,4,3,2,1.
At least she has the sense to stop coming. The rest? Clearly not lol.
Think you’ll get objective journalism on MSNBC’s website? Click on any topic. They’re all printed with a spin and the comments are completely racist, regardless of topic.
Lovely Chile see you tomorrow with a different name. Lol
lmaooo!

You guys are just trying to give poor Usher bad publicity!!!! Why would Adam Levine say that Usher is a great person on the Ellen Show?? And that Shakira loves him? AND Blake tweeted about him too! Usher is not cocky at all. Especially on television and guest appearances.
Tameka not looking so BAD right about now
