Usher can dance. Usher can sing. Usher can take a thing as ugly as sex and make it sound even more creepy on record. That’s some achievement. And he can dance. Oh, we’ve mentioned that already.
Of course, Usher is a famous enough person, but he’s never quite made it to superstar level. He’s destined to be a top flight team, always hovering around the business end without troubling the top.
However, he’s absolutely intent on troubling the top now as he’s spoken up about wanting to work with people who are more successful than he is… and he’s got his eye on Britney Spears and Lady GaGa.
Usher performed at the VMAs at the weekend and no-one would ever know if he was brilliant or not because everyone else was too busy looking at Lady GaGa’s meat dress or trying to work out whether Kanye West was being sincere enough about the frail little flower that is Taylor Swift.
Talking to himself, Usher has spoken about wanting to duet with Spears:
“I think it would be great. We’ve actually talked about working together in the past.
“I’ve actually shown some interest in working with Lady GaGa as well. We spoke about it the other night and may potentially make something happen there in the future.”
Failing that, he’s tagging along to someone else who is surpassing him in the fame stakes, despite being 3 months old.
Usher talked about Justin Bieber and his voice breaking, insisting:
“We’re taking the right steps to make sure that he didn’t lose too much. It’s all about what you eat and really just taking care of yourself.”
And your testicles dropping. Don’t forget that. Unless, of course, Usher is implying that Bieber is about to lead a eunuch revival, which quite frankly, is a horrifying thought.

Wow more successful than he is? Lady Gaga is no where near as successful as Usher. Usher just presents himself as a normal good person. He doesn’t whore himself around to try and get more famous like Britney Spears.(Who hasn’t been relevant in years) Never a superstar? He has a diamond album that sold over 20 million copies and produced four hot 100 number-one hits. That album alone is more successful then Lady Gagas entire career. Hes a global superstar but also a great dad and down to earth person. He is more successful and famous then either one of those talentless tramps.
usher is king says
This article is such bullshit! How the fuck is Lady Gaga and Brittany more successful then Usher! Yes they keep there ass in the media with bullshit, but that does not make them successful. Usher has grammys Brittany dont. Usher has sold over 50 mil albums something that Lady Gaga will never do! So before U post something that is so full of bullshit know what U R talking about!

Usher is a really great artist. Any collaboration with other artists would be great!
Brittany says
Just because Usher stays out of the dramatic tabloid scene does not mean he has not made it to Superstar level. I think Usher is one of the most respectable R&B performers in the game. He always stays stays classy. Word
Cory Roberson says
After 18 year career, Usher is pretty successful, close to the top, but R&B artists never get as much worldwide attention as pop stars, with the exception of Beyonce (which surpassed Britney in popularity), it just took him longer to get there than Britney and Lady Gaga. Britney may have sold more records in a short period of time, but she is not at her height anymore. Lady Gaga is only a recent success.
Bobby says
I hope they collaborate at the same time on the 100th floor of some high rise building and while they collaborate I hope the building they are in catches fire on the 99th floor leaving them with the only option of having to jump to their deaths. Hopefully they catch on fire before they have the time to jump. That will be the best way they can help the music industry.
Um, yeah says
Britney Spears not relevant in years. Where have you been? With your head stuck up Usher’s butt?

I love it when the Americans get involved. Penetrating insight coupled with insane levels of devotion to people they’ve never met. If irony were equivalent to military strength, the USA would get whooped by Costa Rica in a straight fight every time.
