ROUNDUP: USHER ON ALBUM & HATERS / MYA BREAKS FOOT / DAME’S BABY MAMA DRAMA

Wednesday, April 30, 2008

Usher recently sat down with Parlour Magazine and chatted about his upcoming album, his family and those damn haters! He also explains how “Love In This Club” fits into his new grown man music equation. Peep a snippet below:

On how marriage and fatherhood has affected his music…
“This album, to me, is a staple in time. I like to make music about where I am, but I also try to make records that will be like soundtracks to life. So that people will be able to relate to them, maybe one day grow from them, learn, love from ‘em. This one particularly is more special than all of the others. I know it sounds cliché to say that! But honestly it’s the pivotal moment for me as an artist, as well as a husband in a way, and a father. These are all new journeys for me, the most meaningful, because they’re the most rewarding.”

On how “Love in the Club” fits into this new “growth”…
“Love in This Club” is the position that I was in about two years ago and as a result of having that record, there’s a series of events that will happen.”

When asked to give final words, he responded….
“I love my son and I love my wife and they’re the supporting foundation of what I’m doing. I love my fans—I thank y’all so, so much for coming back to the party with me. For all you haters, sorry we back on top. [Laughs] For those of you that doubted it for a minute I’m really sorry for you, but this is definitely going to be a reward for those who’ve been waiting, rooting and supporting and I’m not gon’ let you down. I promise.” [ READ MORE ]

MYA BREAKS FOOT

Fans of Mya will have to wait a little longer to see her take the stage on Broadway. Mya was ready to start in the show starting May 12 but now that has been postponed until Mya recovers from recently breaking her foot. Barry Weissler, producer of Chicago, said in the statement,

“In the theatre industry, we are sometimes forced to deal with circumstances beyond our control. But speaking for the entire Chicago creative team, we all wish her a speedy recovery, and look forward to experiencing her portrayal of Velma Kelly as soon as possible.”

DAMON DASH AND HIS NEW DRAMA

dameson.jpg

Damon Dash baby mama has filed a petition against the mogul. Peep info below

In the petition, Linda Williams claims that 16-year-old son Damon Dash II, aka “Boogie,” says he was “living with not hot water [sic] or electricity for two months in his bedroom,” and that Damon took him to the morgue to ID an uncle who committed suicide by gunshot to the head. Worst of all, Damon didn’t spring for $3,600 for hoops camp. [SOURCE]

I have to comment on Dame Dash “Mr. Swagger” himself really pisses me off but it also reminds me that no matter your status, there are still some DEAD BEAT DADS (Chris Tucker, Juvenile, Leonard R. Jones, etc) out there. I am a single parent of one child and you would think that with his business savvy he would devote some of the same energy and time into making sure his kids were BEYOND comfortable.

Alot of women are hating on Usher and his Family , like they actually think they had a chance at marrying him and having his Baby. Lol

YUP

Wednesday, April 30, 2008 /

WOW..Dame thats fucked up..

As for Usher. I honestly don’t like “love in this club”. I thought he was a lil too old to be singing about that. If Omarion or Chris Brown would have sang it then i prolly would have liked it better. Not hating but thats just my opinion. The remix is flyy though. Even though Lil Wayne messed that shit up….smh

I hope his marriage lasts.

I hope MYA gets better. I know the people that bought tickets to see her is mad pissed.lol

How is “Make Love in this Club” grown and new? That ish is wack and you and I both know that I will not stand the test of time. Trust that djs will not be playing that track 5 or 10 years from now. Hell, I’d rather listen to Chris Brown’s music 10 years from now than Usher’s latest mess. He needs to come better or fall back.

Im glad Jay-Z has wised up on how retarded Dame is. Damn will forever have a lil boy mentality instead of really taking care of BUSINESS. Cause times are serious out here and you have to be careful about things, especially your money. If he cant even pay child support, then he got issues.

Usher has always been full of himself. Everyone that isn’t a fan is not a hater. If some wasn’t feeling your song, so be it. Everything you produce is not that knock. Usher needs to take heed to the saying: “Don’t speak about it, be about it”. I don’t care if ‘Love In The Club’ is number one, the song is not all that. And it’s definitely nothing that’s changing the game.

20.

TashaP

Wednesday, April 30, 2008 /

SMDH @ Dame. Cant wait for the new Usher! @19 He didnt say that if your not a fan you must be hater but your comment sounds hater-ish.

>>>>>>lol@17. Those are my sentiments excatly. I’m not sure either about >>>>>>how “Love In This Club” fits into this ‘grown man’ persona that Usher is is>>>>>going for on his upcoming album. There’s nothing grown & sexy about >>>>>> making love in a club. That’s just plain nasty.

22.

okay

Wednesday, April 30, 2008 /

Oh Dame, u too old for that. Take care of your child and stop tripping.

23.

Noelle

Wednesday, April 30, 2008 /

I like Usher, I love “Love in this Club” and I think the haters he was talking about wasnt people who just don’t care for his music but rather people who had soooooooooo much to say about his wife ( who really is a lovely person) and his decisions. I wish him all the best he’s a great entertainer who now has a great wife who dotes on him , a beautiful baby and a bight future

24.

Wednesday, April 30, 2008 /

@9 All us average looking chicks did have a chance - look at Ush’s wife. Anyway, I was never a fan of Usher but I do like his singing.

When celeb’s get married and it’s publicized so much, people start losing interest- especially when you make songs as if you’re free and SINGLE. I dont think people are gonna take him serious this trip because I heard some of his new songs and they sound rehashed and tiring. Anyhow, R Kelly got the “clubbing” songs under wraps already so Ush needs to step up or step off with that.

Hope Mya’s foot heals soon.

Everyone knows Dame is not rolling in dough like he used to. I dont think he’s being a deadbeat, I think he really dont have that cashflow.

25.

That’s right Usher let them know. I’m loving the remix and it’s killing urban radio right now. Can’t wait for that CD to drop.

ursher gone head on with all that….nothing is “grown man”music about screwing in a club its quite trifling, unsanitary, and at the lowest of self respect…you can most definately stfu with that

mya always breaking something or is that somebody else im thinking of?

dame dash that sound like some shit you’ll do, he always seemed like he was damaged in the membrane

27.

Is standing her ground,has reliased some people are so evil for trivial things...

Wednesday, April 30, 2008 /

Thats right usher,you tell them, ‘

‘Haters keep on hating cause you make him want it do it more’

im definately looking forward to that song ”before i met you” looking forward 2 the album… He never seems to dissappoint.. :D :D :D

28.

Usher is feeling himself a bit toooo much. luv in the club is wack as hell, he better come better than that before he thinks he is back on top.

I hope JT’s album comes out on the same day, we will se who’s number one.

LMAO @ all the Usher stans who are about to cyber stab me.

BTW, he can marry a man all he wants, who cares? never thought he was all that anyway, so they are a perfect fit.

29.

blackisbeautiful

Wednesday, April 30, 2008 /

As much as I like Usher, I’m not excited about his new album. “Making Love In This Club” to me is just corny and not very mature however maybe Usher might change my mind about his albums because the leaked tracks I’ve heard are not hitting it for me.

Awww Mya I hope her foot heals properly so she can do what she loves and make money.

Damn Dame Dash’s son has gotten grown lol anyways no comment on this situation because I only heard one side of the story and usually us people take one person’s word and runs with it.

Wednesday, April 30, 2008 /

as far as usher is concerned i have nothing but support for the brotha, and i think i will not be disappointed by his upcoming album, i started buying his records in high school and his albums are always above average, should i say very good !
the man married a “black woman“ people have a problem with that…smh bringing up all types of lame arguments talking about she already had kids and this and that, in other words since the average black woman in this country has kids out of wedlock she`s not fit to ever get married…hmmm

mya get well soon

dame , i think this smells publicity because i know you got the money…grow up man!

31.

That's Wassup

Wednesday, April 30, 2008 /

Usher - The beat is what made that song a go, because surely it wasn’t the lyrics. I have no idea how you’d think having sex in a club is hot. IMO

Mya - Feel better

Dame - I wanna know what camp costs that much NBA tryouts or something? I hope that kid wasn’t living like that, because he should be all up under the jail, anybody else would be!

32.

3,600 for basketball camp? Why? He didn’t pay that? Who cares! Anyway, he does need to pay for that electricity and heat. BLAH @ deadbeat dads!

Usher, you go boy!

I guess all some of you have time to do is come on here and “HATE.” Usher’s album isn’t even out yet and people are already making assumptions knowing his music is always entertaining. Usher go ahead and get your grown man status on because while your hating are hating you’ll still be getting paid.

This is what confuses me… ok… he had no hot water in his bedroom… which means he is in a master bedroom type room…it would be different if she said that he had no hot warter in the home! So what if he has no hot water in his room use another bathroom in the house! ( i would only assume) And so what if he saw a dead realative… AND…. some of these baby mothers are real tricky and make things bigger than they really are! So this sounds to me like one of those cases! Ho sit down and be easy… or maybe thats what got you into this situation in the first place

38.

usher does good music and it does well but shit he swears it groundbreaking type shit, he can’t tour forever like prince or micheal jackson could have, so relax with all that.

damn mya, i hope she gets better, i’m rooting for her.

damn dame, that camp price is crazy, hopefully this gets sorted out peacefully

Ist I want to say is where in the heck has time gone, Dame Dash has a 16yr old son.
On Usher, yeah I with you, I for one accept that you are growing up and have a wife and beautiful son. I feel bad because we all know that THE HATERS are mostly women. It is okay for Bey to be with Jay, But Usher cant be with he wants to be with. Women are so damn evil and the #1 reason they will never progress really far in life, Get a damn life.

From the article:

“Parlour: Where’ve you been hiding?

Usher: I need you to miss me [he smiles]. If I stay in your face all the time you’ll get tired of seeing me.”

I wish he would get some of his fellow celeb friends to adopt the same mantra.

Like some said, Usher is a little too cocky!! Love in Club is not the hottest song out out on the radio right now. If Usher was really on his business, he woulda been had a second single out by now. And he still has another whole month before that album drops. As long as Love in Club has been on the radio we shoulda had atleast
atleast 2 or 3 singles from him. I’m bored with this cat!

Sometimes I really wonder are these fathers this awful, or are these women really hatin because what he is paying is only for his child and not enough to keep the mama Guccied up!! Just because Kim Porter and the rest of those hoes pimp someof these dudes for thousands a month doesn’t mean you can too!!!!

I would hate to think with all this man had/has he has not and will not make provisions for his child/children. If this is true, Mr. Dash, step up and be a man be responsible for yours!!!

Buffy

Wednesday, April 30, 2008 /

Usher’s song is NOT mature and he should stop trying to push it to another level…it’s booty music, plain and simple…now, having said that, the man is definitely one of a kind…he’s got this thing that allows him to elevate pop songs (”pop” being a watchword) to levels rivaling even Jacko in his glory days….It’s his voice…he manipulates keys and melodies, I guess… I can’t explain it…he excels in music as he does in dance but come on, who is he kidding? Himself or his audience? “Love in This Club” is no more gentlemanly than is “Tipdrill.” Also, that remix with Beyonce really, really, really stinks, man! It’s boring R&B and the original is a POP song with a Hip Hop influence and that’s why it flies…this new one doesn’t…it’s like some lame Keyshia Cole song.

48.

Bahamas/Chicago/Cayman Gal

Wednesday, April 30, 2008 /

I forgot Usher boo boo, I’m happy that you are so happy about your new shit, however its not nearly the fire your last first single was!! You speak about haters but the shit that comes out of your mouth sometimes is full of a real haters bullshit, you have said you are not impressed with the new R&B cats out there (Ne-yo and Chris Brown) because they were copying you and Chris Brown reminds you of you, negro please get over yourself, you all got it from the real deal, Michael Jackson, who got it from the Godfather of soul James Brown! Don’t forget or fool yourself boo boo you are talented I give you that are not all that, don’t mind what Tameka tells you!!!!

Dame and Boogie’s mother have been going at for a while now. The young man has grown itno a handsome brother. It’s a shame that all of his parents madness is all over the place, and as a child he has to deal with it in the public.

But - get real… if they supposedly didn’t have hot water or electricity - they damn sure won’t have $4K to play basketball.

Usher is sooooooooooooooooooo NOT RELEVANT. Who likes him? Who’ll buy his CD? Who likes that song? Chris Brown could have ran circles around Usher as a kid when Usher started out, and especially now. Usher is always commenting on Chris Brown because he sees what a SUPERSTAR CHRIS BROWN is. CHRIS BROWN has that STAR SMILE. Usher has that nose… EKKKK!!!!!!! Usher WAS NEVER and WILL NEVER BE CHRIS BROWN! Usher… GO SIT DOWN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I’m definitely feeling you #10 ChocolateBee your 110% correct. I’m pretty sure that fat child support check is enough to send Dame junior to some very exclusive camp’s. Let that trifling hoe shellout some of the funds for her child. It’s only fair.

@ Mimi talk to me when Chris Brown sell TEN MILLIONS copies of one of his two cds.

Usher as a strong fanbase Confessions sold ONE MILLION copies in a week.

So in “Love In This Club” (remix) they’re talking about “I got a man you got a lady, this ain’t right but we’re still gonna f*ck in dis club”………….

………….AND THAT IS SUPPOSED TO BE THE “MATURE” SHYT USHER WANNA TEACH TO YOUNG MEN??

…………What’s next? KHIA TEACHING WOMEN HOW TO BE CLASS ACTS??

#57 You’ve got to be really young… Chris Brown isn’t even remotely on Usher’s level. Chris sounds like a girl and looks just OKAY but certainly not like a star. Usher, despite “that nose” is an incredible vocal talent and quite attractive, not to mention his dancing… Chris Brown is all over the place, like some street kid… I say all that without having once run out to purchase Usher concert tickets or posters…it’s just the truth!
