Only Usher could suit up and make riding a motorcycle even more sexier. The singer and judge of NBC's The Voice was spotted riding his custom motorcycle in LA over the weekend. Usher received the bike as a gift from writer/producer Rico Love who penned the Usher's hit 'There Goes My Baby' single.

Usher has received great reception since replacing Christina Aguilera and Cee-Lo on the new season of The Voice.

Thoughts?

Singer Usher Raymond is under fire for being allowed to skip to the front of the voting line on Election Day this past Tuesday. Fulton County officials in Georgia allowed the superstar to skip due to him notifying them the week prior that he would be voting at a specific location that day.

Voting officials are defending their move to allow Usher to skip the voting line stating that it would cut down on distractions. Bystanders said that Usher was brought in via a back door at the voting location and pulled out his phone to take photographs of himself voting which is illegal which officials later stated that he could do because he was given permission. Other voters in the line suggested that Usher should have completed an absentee ballot if he wanted to skip the line.

I personally agree with the other citizens that voted at the same location. If Usher really wanted to feel like a citizen that day he would have stood in line like everyone else instead of resorting to special treatment. To be honest, he voted in a predominantly Caucasian area where most of the people in line probably would not have recognized him.

It looks like rapper Ludacris received the memo that just blurting out rap lyrics isn't going to keep your pockets coined. The 'Representin' rapper teamed up with dance king David Guetta for a hot new collaboration which also features singer Usher.

The trio have reportedly already shot a video for 'Rest Of My Life.' I actually like the track even though it is a very different look for the rapper. The only problem that I have with the track is that he released it too close to the release of the video for his track with Kelly Rowland.
 

Usher's thrown so many videos out within the past weeks that I am unsure which one is an actual single. The singer released his new video for track 'Numb' which is obviously targeted towards the non-urban crowd. Get money.

The video plays off of footage from his Berlin concert where he walked off the stage after the opening. He later explained on Oprah's Next Chapter that he was so distraught from not being able to see his sons that he couldn't go on with the show. The video then shows clips of him spending quality time with his sons (well actors).

Singer Usher did not hold back last night with his interview with mogul Oprah Winfrey during her Next Chapter. Usher discussed his marriage with Tameka Foster, the nasty custody battle, and more. I must say that this interview really answered a lot of questions about Usher that I had been wondering about.

Surprisingly Usher revealed that he did indeed sleep with one of Tameka's bridesmaids but that it occurred after their marriage ended. He also revealed that he did cheat while the marriage was falling apart.

Catch the full interview below.

Oprah's Next Chapter | Usher (FULL EPISODE) by Ashley_Miller_3

Oprah's OWN Network has been winning all weekend and tonight is no exception. The media mogul sits down with singer Usher Raymond to discuss his failed marriage, custody battle and more. I'm glad that Usher is finally giving us his side of the story instead of simply sitting around and letting the media spread lies.

Mother O never lets us down which is why I cannot wait to hear his response on whether or not he cheated on Tameka Foster during their marriage stint.

'I always felt like maybe we weren't ready and maybe this wasn't the time or the way to do it,' says Usher about his marriage to Foster.

When I tell you Mother O can pull an interview like no other. The media mogul has landed the first exclusive interview with singer Usher Raymond following his extremely difficult custody battle with his ex-wife Tameka Raymond. Usher apparently tells all in the interview which Oprah says he will do for the first and last time.

I am definitely going to be tuned into this interview. Usher talks about his infidelity during his marriage, why he wanted full custody, and more. I honestly hope Usher asks about the death of Tameka's child and why the case really went on versus being put on hold. I cannot wait for this interview.

Preview below.

Singer Usher is continuing with the promo for his latest album Looking 4 Myself. Usher released the visuals for his new urban single 'Dive' yesterday. The video gave me exactly what I expected which is no choreography and sexy people.

Is Usher trying to come for Trey Songz's temp fade by releasing a song with the same title at the same damn time?

Check out the video below.

Sad news. Tameka Raymond has apparently removed her son Kile Glover from life support. You may recall that her son was involved in a jet ski accident earlier this month at Lake Lanier. Various Atlanta radio DJs have sent out tweets expressing their hurt.

Tameka Raymond took to her Facebook account to update everyone about her son Kyle who was injured severely over the weekend when he was struck by a jet ski at Lake Lanier.

Tameka posted:


Tameka also spoke to RadarOnline and said that her son's condition is 'BAD'. He was pronounced brain dead yesterday.

Tameka Raymond can say all the negative things that she would like about her ex-husband Usher Raymond, but she cannot deny that he has a good heart. Tameka's son, from another marriage, was critically injured at Lake Lanier on Friday when a jet ski hit him in the water. He was unresponsive when paramedics arrived and is still said to be unresponsive.

It is being reported that Usher flew in to be by her son's side during this tough time amid their nasty custody battle which has been going on for month's for his two kids with Tameka.

Tameka better get a grip and a manual on 'karma'. She is so busy trying to keep Usher from his biological kids that God is about to take one from her permanently.

The 'boss' himself releases the sexy visual to his Usher assisted single 'Touch 'N You'. The video was based around him and his beautiful eye candy Tae Heckard (Jasmine From The Game).

Other appearances in the video are Rozay's MMG family Omarion, Wale and DJ Khaled. Touch 'N You is the first single off Ross's upcoming album God Forgives, I Don't due in stores July 31st.

Check out the sexiness below.

It's beginning to look alike like Chris Brown, everywhere we go. Singer Usher has released another video this week for his current urban single 'Lemme See'. The visuals for the Rick Ross assisted track allow us to see them both shirtless which is not a good view when considering Rick is the size of a Buick Sedan.

Boring. I liked the video that AMEX used for their 'Unplugged' promo when they used the song versus the actual video. Singer Usher has released the official video for his current single 'Scream' where he does nothing but stands.

Disappointed.

Usher joined American Express to put on a show that no one will ever forget. Usher is well on his way to becoming legendary if he isn't already. The one thing I love about Usher is his consistency with each album being that he has progressed. I feel that being a musical genius and artist is all about progression and simply getting better with time.

Usher joined his many fans in the Hammersmith Apollo in London while partnering with YouTube and VEVO to launch his promotion for his newest album Looking 4 Myself. Directed by Hamish Hamilton, Usher performed some of his newest material from the album while also going back and performing some from his old catalogue. Although sometimes a little pitchy while dancing, Usher still put on a great show as expected.

Looking 4 Myself hit stores Tuesday. Be sure to get it because I personally love it.

Catch the full 90-minute set below.

I will assume that singer Usher found himself on his newest album 'Looking For Myself'. Honestly, I didn't know what to expect from the singer on his seventh studio album after the release of his first singles which included Diplo produced track 'Climax' and dance track 'Scream'. Can we say Usher put the 'blues' in R&B?

Usher definitely caught the hint that his most successful album 'Confessions' contained a lot of slow jams which caused it to become so successful. To my surprise, the album contained more slow jams than club anthems. The Danja produced track 'I Care For You', my favorite from the album, is what I would definitely label 'baby-making music'. We hear Usher sing about being in love with his heart on his sleeve on a very unique beat with a pounding drum as the singer digs into his falsetto for the hook. The magicians which created singer Kelly Rowland's 'Motivation', Rico Love and Jim Jonson, teamed up for another hit which we find in 'Dive'. The song is definitely for the mature as the singer says 'the walls look like they are about to precipitate' in addition to 'I don't need a lifesaver baby, going deeper ain't gonna kill me'. Can someone pass me a fan? Am I the only one that caught the Notorious B.I.G. sample of 'One More Chance (Remix)' at the beginning of the track 'What Happened To U'? Something makes me feel sexy about the mid-tempo track. I almost conceived and gave birth from 'Lesson For The Lovers'.

There is no denying who Usher draws his musical inspirations from. I couldn't help but think about the late James Brown in the Pharrell Williams produced track 'Twisted' which is another fave from the album. The uptempo track serves a nasty blues beat full of 'ha' and a nice bass drop which makes you want to glide across the floor like the Godfather of Soul. Did anyone else want to go sit in a juke joint and smoke a cigar when they first heard 'Sins Of My Father'. Pure blues. I absolutely love the way that Usher uses his falsetto in the track as he sings about falling for a female who eventually traps him by getting pregnant.  Sound familiar? I caught a little of Michael Jackson's inspiration in the track 'Show Me' where Usher sings about sex once again. I also felt a little of MJ in title track 'Looking For Myelf' which features Luke Steele.

Mr. Raymond made sure he gave his dance craze fans what they wanted in a few of the tracks which included album opener 'Can't Stop Won't Stop'. The song perfectly meshes dance and urban music into pure fist pumping music. Honestly, the only part I like of the track is the 'can't stop it, can't can't stop it' part with the drum beat in the back. 'Euphoria' was too much for me. Pure Euro-Pop.

Overall, the album was greater than I could have ever imagined. I can honestly say that I am a fan of Usher's after this album and will be purchasing 'Looking For Myself' on Tuesday. I would have appreciated one heavy urban club track though. Can we get another collabo with Luda and Lil Jon? Great album.

Usher baby is killing you all this go round. The closer we get to the release date of his album 'Looking For Myself' the more tracks that began to surface. Listen to the latest installment from the 'Looking For Myself' era titled Hot Thing which features newcomer A$AP Rocky. If you had a chance to preview the entire album and this track peeked your interest, here is your chance to listen to the full song below.

Did you catch the line where he said 'If you let me Minaj you Ill take you to see Usher'?

Snippets of Usher's new album 'Looking For Myself' have hit the net and it sounds like it may actually be good. I have been skeptical about Usher's new album after he released tracks such as 'Scream' and 'Lemme See' which didn't appeal to me at all.

The album sounds like it will be full of a majority of urban/pop tracks.

Will you be purchasing the new album? 'Looking For Myself' hits stores June 12th.
