Bruno Mars featuring Damian “Jr. Gong” Marley for “Liquor Store Blues”. Bruno Mars on a One Drop is truly music to my ears!

Jennifer Lopez featuring Pitbull “On The Floor” Although Dance music with a euro-tech sound is hot right now, this reminds me of “Waiting for Tonight” which means she was ahead of the game; I’m loving her comeback!

Cherine Anderson is on her rude gyal-ish with “Make-up Sex”

Usher’s “More” was the official song for the NBA 2010 Allstar game, but he’s just releasing this video to finish off his O.M.G tour.

I love a great live performance, theatrics and all. I must say I was over all impressed with the high energy performances. Check out some of my favorite performance:

I think I’ve secretly become a Rihanna Stan. Yeah, she was off key at times, but I still loved the performance.

Usher performed “DJ Got Us Fallin In Love”. Glad he didn’t make the same lip syncing mistakes he did on the MTV Awards.

Ne-Yo’s performance screams Michael Jackson circa Smooth Criminal.

I thoroughly enjoyed Bon Jovi’s performance. Still rocks the rock!

I love this video, especially the dance sequence at the end (and throughout, but the end scene brought it home). I love that Usher pushed himself on this album creating a lot of sounds we haven’t heard from him. Check out the video for  Usher feat. Pitbull “DJ Got Us Fallin’ In Love”.

Usher officially released his video for “Lil  Freak” featuring Nicki Minaj from his album Raymond vs. Raymond in stores now. Cameo from Ciara. I think he should have left out the short dance segment, but what do you think?

Yes. Finally. Usher, this is what I love to see. MTV premiered Usher’s new video Hey Daddy (Daddy’s Home) directed by Chris Robinson today. The song is hot, the video…even hotter. I love that it’s not the cookie cutter dancing in club you’d typically see from Usher on upbeat songs. Even more, I like how the video tells a story of how he balances his career and personal life. The video is a great snapshot of what we can expect from Raymond vs Raymond slated to drop the end of March.

PAPERS – Usher

Usher releases new music from his highly antipated follow up to the wack not so well received Here I Stand. Anyone who knows me knows I am an Usher fan (from his Call Me A Mack Days). The song is obviously about his break up with Tameka (I was probably the only one rooting for them.) and tells the tale of ish we already knew. Plain and simple –Papers is mediocre. It sounds like typical Usher and even has the remnants of his Confessions album. It’s definitely missing something in my book. I’m hoping this won’t be his official single, the song is okay and will grow on people, but I’m not sure that it will make the impact he was looking.

Usher tried making a statement with Here I Stand. I hope he just makes music on Raymond vs. Raymond.

After leaking various singles and making a hit with this one, Usher released the video for “Love in This Club” yesterday. I’m a huge Usher fan, but I have to be honest, I wasn’t crazy about the song, not because it wasn’t good, it just wasnt different enough for me. Usher is usually a trendsetter pushing it to the next level, but for me this is nothing different. However, being the fan that I am it grew on me (I still won’t be adding to my i-pod playlist, but I’d bump to it)

The Video is just like “Yeah” to me, but it is a club single so I’ll let him have that. Appearances by Diddy, Kanye West, Robin Thicke and leading lady Keri Hilson (Peep the end when he grabs her hair from behind…so sexy!)
