There’s a propensity for soul singers to get fans on-stage and sing to them. We’re not talking about a thing similar to Bruce Springsteen getting Her From Friends up to dance around like pricks in videos – more like, Alexander O’Neil pinning women down to a bed and grinding all over them while sweatily crooning one off all over them in full view of the bleachers.
And Usher is no different. He gets fans up and pretends that he doesn’t feel in danger (presumably because he has trained simians with rifles in the light rigging) when faces with the great plebbish.
However, he should. Why? Well, while singing silky nothings in the ear of one lucky fan, she decided to kick him in the face. Lovely stuff.
You heard. Usher may want to make you womenfolk go ‘OMG’, when really, he needs to be writing a song called ‘BLAMMO!’
Usher got a lucky fan up on stage at his gig in Madison Square Gardens and began to serenade her on a stupid looking chaise longue. Weirdly, the song he chose to woo her with was called ‘Trading Places’. We can’t imagine that he takes on Dan Ackroyd’s role of Louis Winthorpe III and stares at Jamie Lee Curtis’ baps. Or does he?
Anyway, while cooing and purring at his fan, she shows that she can’t quite get comfortable and shows her displeasure by doing the kind of roundhouse kick Jackie Chan would be most pleased with.
Right in Usher’s face.
You can watch the video here and then, if you’re more stupid than a booksigning queue waiting for Sarah Palin, you can point out that the kick was by accident and that Usher is actually a really nice bloke and all that garbage.
You make us despair sometimes.
