Douche And Douche

Around the time of Usher's last album, when he was his usual cocky self, he said this about Justin Timberlake. "There simply is no comparison between me and Justin. He can't even stand in the same lane as me, ever."

So what does he have to say about Justin now that he is one of the biggest superstars in the world? "I regret it," he says, shaking his head, "because he's a great friend of mine now. I was young and didn't know better. "We were both being kids and he turned out to be a really cool guy, and we're talking about doing something together for the repackaging of my album. If we ever worked together, though, it would be the biggest record ever."

It amazes me how Usher has managed to apologize for being a douche, yet being a bigger douche in the process. The biggest record ever? I'm sure it would be big, but don't kid yourself.

So for people who are contemplating buying his new album, DON'T, like he said they are going to repackage it. So wait and just buy the repackaged version, or you could ya know, not buy either and just download it.

Thanks ONTD

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.
