You’ve seen the pics on the set of Usher’s latest video, “Trading Places”, now here’s the official GOT video premiere of his song from his latest album Here I Stand. Check out the video above!
Usher has came out of hiding and is shooting his video for his new single, “Trading Places”, from his latest album Here I Stand. The video is being directed by Chris Robinson(Cassie’s Official Girl, Jennifer Hudson’s Spotlight). Be sure to catch the video premiere here at GOT! Check out the rest of the flicks after the cut!
The internets are talking. Loud. And they’re talking about the Raymond family. Word on the sidewalk is that Usher and Tameka are expecting baby number two. As a matter of fact, People is confirming it, which makes it seem about damn near true to me. People’s usually up to par with their stories when it comes to creditabilty and all of that good stuff.
Recently, Foster was spotted wearing a belly-disguising outfit during Usher’s Sept. 4 NFL kick-off concert in New York. The dress was “very deceiving,” the source says. “You couldn’t tell she was pregnant when she was sitting down.”
The singer has also been busy with his charity, the New Look foundation, and a summer camp he ran for teenagers. In August, Usher told PEOPLE that being a father inspired him to give back.
“Having a child just completed the story,” he said. “I already had a giving heart, and I wanted to do something to mentor children.”
I don’t know about all of this, Ush. Your first child with Maneka turned out okay. I think you’re playing Russian Roullete going in for a second time. I’m just saying. Genetics are a bitch.
Usher attended the 2008 NFL Kickoff Press Conference yesterday in New York. He will be performing a series of songs from his latest album Here I Stand. Usher is supposedly performing “Here I Stand”, “Trading Places, and “What’s Your Name” with guest star Will.I.Am. Usher also doesn’t want to waste anytime and perform at the upcoming Superbowl in February:
“I don’t think it’s too early to consider it,” said Usher, “Certainly being associated with the organization makes that a lot more possible. There have been conversations for a lot of years about me being part of a performance at a Super Bowl.” Usher added. “I’m hoping that this leads, definitely, to that. This whole process is basically you scratch my back, I’ll scratch yours.”
R&B Singer Usher has rehired his mom, Jonetta Patton, as his manager and has terminated his previous management with Benny Medina. According to an unofficial source from PEOPLE:
“He wanted her to come back on board and she decided to. He had really poor management and wanted her back.”
It also cited that it could also be the fact that Usher’s latest album, Here I Stand (LaFace), didn’t even sell half of 2004’s Confessions. Usher’s first week sales of Here I Stand was 433,000 copies.
Not a lot went down this weekend, but here are a few events that you might (or might not) be interested in! First up, we have Ne-Yo, Nicole Scherzinger, and Cee-Lo Green, who all attended a private after party at club Hush in Hollywood.
