GUESS WHO: UNDER THE UMBRELLA…

Monday, September 15, 2008

Guess who was spotted out and about on a rainy day in NYC over the weekend? Dude even had his security holding umbrellas for him.

Hint: The singer was recently named Youth Chair of ServiceNation (a national service campaign committed to liberty and justice for all)..

It’s Usher! He looks kind of good in these shots too, someone got his swagger back. Anywho, rumors of a 2nd child with his wife Tameka Foster hit the net last week and the singer hasn’t confirmed or denied them. Lookin good Usher, but you know you can hold your own damn umbrella!

i thought Usher but since he didnt have on his wedding ring… i started to think it was sum1 else…but i did get it ryt at 1st.

Sum say he can hold his own umbrella, but if u got it lyk that…y not. ppl can clean their own houses…but they still hire ppl to do that…ppl can wash their own cars but they still go to the car wash or have sum1 detail it for them…ppl can wash their own clothes..but they still have other ppl to do that…so if sum1 is willing to hold his umbrella…i say let em…

Usher is so PLAYED.
Rain on a Sweat Suit…LMAO
PLEASE!

Usher needs to rain on the Music Charts rather than worry about a few drops on his “sweat suit”. Usher looks lame and is lame and unbrella holders for grown men just is not a good look period. People like Usher are all about image but at the end of the day it’s about much more than that.
Those that can do.

Why? b/c his hands were full? b/c his one hand was too busy in his pocket? Why is Ursh too good to hold his damn umbrella? I don’t get celebs…get over yourself! At least hold your own damn umbrella….that brother could have had the day off and been home with his kids, but NOOOO, you wanna waste $2,500 dollars Usher b/c you need a group of fellas around you to make sure you don’t get WET!

20.

M$. Ho!!@nd

Monday, September 15, 2008 /

Ok he ain’t Diddy! He ain’t carrying nothing and his arms look like they work to me. Can’t do nothing with money!!!

21.

Let me just say this.... (I don't care if ya get mad)

Monday, September 15, 2008 /

I agree #11…….

Also, they don’t look like they are holding the umbrella for him per se more so it’s up in case he wants to get under they seem to be holding if for themselves more less …

Monday, September 15, 2008 /

i must admit that although Usher has fallen off, he is fine!! Have you all ever seen him in person, up close? He was at a club in DC several years ago, and all I can say is that his pics don’t do him any justice. I don’t think he’s very photogenic…but in person…he is such a cutey pie

25.

Monday, September 15, 2008 /

Usher has fallen off, but he does look sexy as hell in these shots, I’m guessing because he doesn’t have MANEKA by his side, I do kinda think that his association with tameka has downgraded his sexy, and I guess the the slow sales of his CD, what do yall think, has Usher stayed out of the limelight to long or what???

35.

BEAUTY Q.T.

Monday, September 15, 2008 /

@ DAME, I know right! I heard Tameka’s pregnant again, but she’s gonna be the baby momma, and I WILL BE the wifey!

Girl I couldn’t even take an Usher concert/tour! I would act a fool, and then pass out, wake back up and stalk him! lol

36.

Chris

Monday, September 15, 2008 /

PLEASE tell me what is “SEXY” about wearing sunglasses in the RAIN and having another grown man holding your umbrella because you are too precious to hold your own umbrella.

And Diddy started that as fun and now people follow it like…it’s the thing to do….NOT.

I hop Chrissy Brown is watching this. You can only sell these types of images for so long before people become bored with you and your music. Michael Jackson he is not…..nor will he ever be. And I’m talking about the breathe of Michael Career not his freak show status now.

NO MORE TANTRUMS OR TALKING ABOUT HIS MARRIAGE…YOU DON’T EVEN SEE HIM AND TAMEKA POSING AT THE SAME EVENTS ANYMORE(EVEN THOUGH I’M SURE SHE’S THERE)

USHER HAS LEARNED HIS LESSON….THAT’S WHY HE’S DOING THAT LADIES ONLY TOUR.

Exactly! and this is how it should have been in the beginning. He should have kept his personal business out of the spotlight from jump. I don’t know how he figured it would help him to be so LOUD about it. PUT HIM BACK IN LINE MS. PATTON! THANK GOD FOR MOMMA!

#12. Just about image? Yeah, I guess selling 30 million albums plus worldwide including Confessions which sold 1.1 in the first week and 15 million worldwide, means nothing and performing with the likes of James Brown and Michael Jackson was just nothing too lol.

WOW! “Fatherhood” looks like it is wearing poor USHER out like a mug!!! When he released “CONFESSIONS” (I still think that is by far his best album ever)…he just oooozed his good looks all over the place. He wasn’t just “fine” the brother was “FOINE”! but now, after his last album released & the whole being a father & husband…the brotha is looking tired!

I never would have guessed it was him.

Chris

I would fall over backwards if I saw Denzel Washington with an “umbrella holder” some celebrities with much more credibility and fame and Money don’t need to be Male Diva’s that is my point. Usher can spend all the time he wants in the mirror and act like a diva till the sun rises and falls it’s just poor form and not necessary. Some people have more self respect than to have other holding an umbrella while rocking sun shades in the rain like Paris Hilton.

Someone is holding his umbrella sheesh …build a bridge and get over urself so what ! If u could u would but u cant , so u hate ….the end …and like someone else said…..do ur own dry cleaning, cut ur own lawn, wash ur own car, clean ur own house, cut ur own hair, do ur own nails, massage ur own back ect ect, ….its all the same thing on a million dollar level…..pretty sure they offered do it as well, there on salary!, not like he got illegal immigrants doing it for free

nobody even bothered to read the hint either…

Chris

Monday, September 15, 2008 /

First off “PRINCE” you don’t know what I can or can’t do.
And yes I carry my own umbrella if I’m even in the rain walking.

Not really into umbrella’s unless it’s really bad out. And get this….sometimes I don’t even need an umbrella there is nothing wrong with a few drops of rain on a sweat suit a few yards from the CAR.

But I do get a little tired of other people like you who have such low self esteem and try to hide behind “having money” as an excuse for all types of stupid behavior or extravagance that is hardly necessary or appealing. Or when people who wish to silence others for expressing a point of view they may not support as “haters”. What complete nonsense. Hate for what???

Usher is a DIVA and I don’t have much appreciation for a male DIVA.

And as far as talent is concerned Usher has really no reason to behave in such a way rocking a sweat suit and shades no less in the rain.
Yes, it’s BAD FORM on many levels and he looks beyond foolish.

These are my views and I will express them oh worldly Prince of Soho…
If you don’t agree that is fine but there is no hate involved. As a community I find there is much too much self hate disguised as arrogance or other such self aggrandizing behavior. Denzel Washington who is much more relevant than Usher has no need to behave in such a way it’s called maturity and self confidence and Usher could learn a few things about being more like a man.

BREACKING NEWS THERE IS GOOD NEWS AND BAD NEWS USHER AND TAMEKRA ARE NOT TOGETHER BUT SHE IS CARRYING HIS CHILD AND ITS GOING TO BE A GIRL MY SOUCE SAID THEY HE ALWAYS WANTED TO HAVE A GIRL AS SOON AS USHER JR IS ONE YEARS OLD BUT I GUESS THEY COULDNT WEITE.

Chris

Monday, September 15, 2008 /

Having other African Americans are “servants” (And I don’t care what they are paid) only reflects poorly on those who wish convey such images as being “successful”. Depending on your lifestyle….sure some people offer umbrellas, it’s not a big deal no but some people want to act like they are more important than they are and these pictures sort of confirm that idea seeing how Usher has on shades while it’s raining out……it’s just a funny image but not a shocking one considering the reputation that Usher has. If he was so relevant his CD would not be dying on the charts so early in his career. Sorry I’m not impressed.

OH CHRIS !

thank u for addressing me properly :)

now ! As for having others carry his umbrella means empowerment or insecurity maybe ur right? but it makes him feel good to flex that muscle, like u are so grounded lol…… we all flex in some way shape or form , see,i wrote that comment knowing u would respond immediately and you wasted no time..i should tip you lol

pictures are worth a 1000 words mr “intellectual” scroll up and count , thats why this site is what it is

nothing personal! making money off of countless opnions lmao

u mean to tell me he cant hold his own umbrella? i guess if he has the funds for it…go ahead, im sure after tameka divorces him, he might not have enough money to pay the umbrella holder

I’m definitely not feeling a grown-ass, able-bodied man having another dude hold an umbrella over his head. Hold your own damn umbrella and get over yourself.

Chris

Monday, September 15, 2008 /

Prince…that was funny.
Point well made….LMAO

You have wit and that goes a long way just watch how you use the term hater. That did push a button.

I have no problem with “flexing” as you describe it but I do think Usher is over hyped and thinks a little too highly of himself (not a crime)
And you are correct he is allowed that “luxury”.

I just prefer people a little more grounded. I have met Usher and he was nothing if not gracious but I still hold firm to the belief that it would not hurt him or anyone for that matter to hold his own umbrella, it’s sure looks better to the casual observer and it’s certainly more masculine.
Call me crazy but I’m far more impressed by people like Barack Obama and Denzel Washington people who could be described as warranting such treatment but who don’t go that route….and I like real artist like M.I.A.,Beck, Santo gold, and Kanye….etc

Now Kanye only employed an umbrella holder when he was released from jail to shield him from the paparazzi. Now that serves a purpose and the holder was not African American….lol
