Your Not In Manchester

Usher made a bit of a mistake this past weekend, he was opening for Radio 1's Big Weekend in Maidstone, Kent, UK. What did he say when he came out? Hello Manchester - a complete different city. I wonder if that is because he is rumored to be full of himself, or he was simply working too much? Either way the crowd was not pleased and some of the 20,000 attendees were so unimpressed they started to boo. Usher continued on and then performed some of his old music and newer stuff.

Madonna was the headline act of the free concert and sang mostly new stuff. The oldest songs she played was Music. "Speaking to Radio 1 DJ Jo Whiley before her performance, Madonna explained why she wanted to play the songs she picked. She said: "Obviously, I want to do new stuff because I'm very excited about it." BBC

Of course, Madonna being Madonna had to stir it up, so she decided to swear on live T.V. :

Holding an S&M-style cane, she introduced her song Hung Up to fans at the concert in Maidstone, Kent, saying: “You guys are going to have to start f***ing it up out there ’cos I need to feel some love. I’m going to do an old song. But not too old. F**k the present. Let’s live in the past.” The Sun

The BBC has recieved complaints because of it, if you remember she also decided to say fuck at live aid which the BBC also got complaints for. Good job this didn't happen in the states, people would have tried ban her or something.
