Jet Magazine – June 2008
Usher Raymond has managed to cover almost every magazine for Summer of 2008.? I wouldn’t be suprised to see this knee-grow’s face?on Ladies Home Journal pretty soon.??The?Vibe cover bothers me though….it’s like he’s saying?”Eff you” and giving all his fans the finger.? Not a good look, bruh. We know you married, stop trippin!? Dayum! 😕
Usher performed “Love in this Club”on?Good Morning America’s Summer Concert series this morning and I can honestly say I was quite entertained….so I search and searched until I could find the clip for those of you who missed it!
Check it out after the cut…? 🙂 ?Enjoy!
Usher took time to meet and greet fans yesterday in New York.? He’s really pounding the pavement for his new CD, but he’s already speaking of it’s re-release, I’m assuming sales aren’t as great as anticipated due to the CD being available online at least 2 weeks prior to it’s release date.? It has been reported that the singer has lost?a fortune?in royalties due to the leak:
“Here I Stand” appeared online in its entirety a week before it was officially launched, and internet programs managed to track the number of times it was downloaded, reports CMU Music.
The album and individual leaked tracks were downloaded a total of 554,716 times via BitTorrent, a peer-to-peer file sharing application, alone. (Source)
Almost everyone I know has this CD.? My question is….did you buy it?? Nevermind….don’t answer that.
Usher made the mandatory rounds prior to his CD’s release, which finally dropped Tuesday. The clip above is from last week’s Saturday Night Live and it was cut from the airing of the program because it sucked. Usher was supposed to be mocking the fact that he likes older women and I don’t think he was able to pull it off too well. 😯 The second clip (after the cut) is his TRL appearance, where he went into a tirade about everyone making fun of his choice of a spouse….
Usher Raymond IV and V were spotted on MTV’s set yesterday. Usher is apparently shooting a promo spot and brought Lil Cinco along.??Oh yeah….Tameka was there too.
Usher’s?new?album has also been leaked a few weeks early.? No big suprise.? So?if you can’t wait and wanna check it out…cruise on over to Blogxilla’s house.?? Don’t say I ain’t never gave you nuthin…
Who’s Talking?
