  How ridiculous is Usher? I mean seriously. I've always liked his music, even back to his very catchy first hit single "You Make Me Wanna". Recently (Friday to be exact), I was listening to Internet Radio on iTunes, which if you dont use, you should, when I heard his latest single Confessions, Part II. Now, I only can take Usher so seriously as an artist, so I dont usually listen to his lyrics. On Friday, however, I did. Ok, rewind. Usher was on Ellen Degeneres' show a week or two ago. He performed the smash single Yeah. I was impressed. It was coreographed nicely and Usher was wearing nice gear, but in listening to the interview afterward, I lost all respect for him.
Here's what happened: Ellen comments about how much she loves watching him dance (and seriously, he can really dance), and he responds that he dances for her and that (get this! ) when he takes off his shirt and dances on stage, he's thinkin of her. Ok, Usher, I'm not sure if anyone told you, or if you were still in diapers (you're all of 12, right? ) that Ellen is gay. Not only is it inappropriate and disrespectful to make prude and lascivious comments to women, but where do you come off doing it in your blinged out diamond chains and very expensive lip moisturizer in front of millions of people? If you're going to prove that you don't think, at least try to minimize the exposure. This is where I realized it.
We created Usher. He's barely in his 20's, and he's livin the fabulous life that we're paying for. Now, don't get it twisted here. I definitely do not have a problem with people who are successful. I do, however, take issue with people, especially entertainers, who seem to forget the people who bought the cds or bought movie tickets. Usher has an entire smooth operator image going on, but last I checked, Sade sang the song. Ok, fast forward.
I hear Usher's new single on the radio. In the middle of the song, he starts to talk in a "look at me, I'm sexy" voice and here is what he says: This by far is the hardest thing I think I've ever had to do To tell you, the woman I love That I'm having a baby by a woman that I barely even know I hope you can accept the fact that I'm man enough to tell you this And hopefully you'll give me another chance This ain't about my career This ain't about my life It's about us Please Ok, does anyone else see the problem with this? "I hope you can accept the fact that I'm man enough to tell you this". Nevermind the fact that I cheated on you.
Nevermind that I obviously didnt use a condom. You should accept the fact that I am man enough to tell you that I'm a lying, cheating, bastard. Usher, are you for real?
