    Love the song (reminds me of Confessions era) but it's a totally boring video.

    I think the song is kinda boring and it seems really long, like it goes on and on. As for the video, it's really nothing new for him. He's done this video many times before.

    I agree that it's nothing new, it's just his typical style.

    It was boring as hell. Usher's story isn't that interesting.

    Behind The Music was a much better show when it profiled heritage acts, who had long since peaked....because then it told a more complete story. Now the show largely exists for the purpose of promoting contemporary acts forthcoming albums.

    IA. BTM has devolved into little more than a fluff piece for modern day pop stars, and is basically the equivalent of a Good Morning America interview.

    I actually caught his BTM. Basically didn't offer up anything we didn't already know. The only thing that would've made it more interesting is if Usher's mother would've elaborated more on why she didn't like Tameka. That would've really been interesting.

    Basically. You're right, his mother elaborating on why she disliked Tameka would have made it more interesting. I also saw that they skipped mentioning that Usher filed a police report, and restraining order, against Tameka. Like Chris said, fluff piece. Anyone who has even slightly followed Usher from "Think of You" through to "OMG" already knew what BTM retold.

    Usher and Chilli were one of the silliest looking "star" couples I ever saw. Easy as it is to blame him, I think she should have known better than to be a 30+ y/o woman getting involved with a popular R&B male singer, under-25 and still in sexual peak age.

    I agree that his BTM was boring and told nothing that his fans didn't already know. As far as his thing with Chilli goes, the show said that she and he decided to take a break from each other but said they'd remain faithful, and that was when he "cheated". Basically they separated, so I can't feign too much anger over his messing around while they were apart. Tameka was just the transition chick he knocked up. From there, he impulsively tried to spin that into something it was never going to be. Usher and Jennifer Lopez would make the perfect couple. Both are flakey.

    The ‘Usher’ Discussion Thread. Usher-versus
    New album (EP) Versus due out August 24.

    First single "DJ Got Us Fallin' in Love" - very, very "pop". I think "OMG" went to his head.


    Second single "Hot Toddy" - sounds a little more like him.

    The ‘Usher’ Discussion Thread. Empty Usher's "OMG" named the #1 Song of 2010 by MTV

    Usher's 'OMG' Is MTV News' #1 Song Of 2010!
    Club smash, featuring will.i.am, tops our list of the Top 25 Songs of the year.
    By James Montgomery (@positivnegativ)




    MTV News' Top 25 Songs of 2010 has reached an end. We've already counted down the rest, and now it's time to get to the best: Usher's "OMG," the song that perfectly sums up the past 12 months of popular music — and makes you wanna move until you can't move no more.

    If 2010 proved anything, it's that a DJ really can save your life ... or at least get you to #1 on the Hot 100. After years of staring at each other from across the room, hip-hop, pop and R&B all decided to finally get in bed with dance music, and the results weren't always pretty, but they were certainly successful. To date, only 17 songs have made it to the top spot of Billboard's singles chart in 2010, and nearly two-thirds of them — from Ke$ha's "Tik Tok" to Far East Movement's "Like a G6" — were, in some way, dance songs.

    In that regard, no song better sums up 2010 pop music quite like Usher's "OMG," the dance song to end all dance songs. Sure, it may not have matched the swagger of Kanye West's "Power," the snarl of Rick Ross' "B.M.F. (Blowin' Money Fast)" or the inbox-clogging spread of Cee Lo's "F--- You," but it didn't have to. None of those songs went to #1, after all. "OMG" did. Twice.

    Even among songs that managed to snag that top spot — Eminem and Rihanna's "Love the Way You Lie," Katy Perry's "California Gurls," B.o.B and Bruno Mars' "Nothin' on You" — "OMG" stood out from the pack, mostly because of its pedigree. It's not a stretch to say that any of those tracks could've (and probably would've) been #1 in any other year; "OMG" could only have done it in 2010, because it was crafted to do nothing else. No other song this year was as of the moment, as singular and shiny and downright undeniable. There's a reason it was named on more ballots than any other song on our countdown and justly takes the title of MTV News' #1 Song of 2010.

    And while all that is important, it's largely beside the point. "OMG" is the kind of song that truly defies deep inspection, because it's not exactly headphone music. Rather, it was made for the clubs, designed to envelop you on the dance floor and not let go until the final "oh-ohh-oh-ooh-oh." And in that regard, it succeeds in spades. It is a masterful melding of R&B, and Euro dance, all icy synths and handclaps, starbursts and stutters and sing-along chants. It ebbs and flows, stops and starts, pumps and preens. Simply put, you cannot listen to it without moving in some way. (MTV's Dee Caligiuri, who voted on our countdown, probably put it best one night when she declared: "There are so many dances you can do to it!") And if that's not the definition of a success, well, then I don't know what is.

    A large portion of the credit for "OMG" has to go to will.i.am, who not only produced the track (I know!), but was smart enough to see this whole dance thing coming when he teamed up with producer David Guetta last year. Those songs — "Boom Boom Pow" and "I Gotta Feeling" — were, of course, massive, but neither of them are as good as this. Given full control, Will goes off the deep end, cramming the song with every dance trick in the book — and probably some new ones he just invented on the spot. And Usher, whose career, truth be told, was sort of in need of a shot in the arm, is the beneficiary. He floats and gloats above the mix, suave and cocksure, knowing that he is exactly the right man at the right time. That time, of course, had to be 2010.

    Because in a year when so many big-name acts embraced the DJ, he flat-out did it better than any of them. "OMG" represents the peak of the dance-pop era in which we live, a song as undeniable as it is of the moment. We can only speculate as to what next year will bring, but there's really no denying that, as 2010 comes to a close, Usher stands above all else, reinvigorated and ready for more. It's enough to make you say "Oh My God," really.

    How does Usher's "OMG" rank among the year's best songs? Let us know in the comments!

    MTV News' Top 25 Songs of 2010 have all been counted down. But the fun isn't over yet: We still want to see your picks in the comments below!

    Usher Walks Off Stage During Berlin Concert and Is Boo'd



    Friday January 14, 2011 12:15 PM EST


     



     


    It was not Usher's finest moment.

    Forced to cancel his Wednesday concert at Berlin's 02 Arena at the last minute due to illness, the "OMG" singer, 32, rescheduled the show for the next night and promised his fans, via Twitter, "the show that you all properly deserve."

    Unfortunately, his illness didn't clear up and Usher lip-synched his first two songs and danced poorly to them, according to local tabloid B.Z. Fans on the edge of the stage reportedly started complaining. Boos were also heard. In response, he reportedly lowered his head and stood silently on the stage for about four minutes before leaving altogether. The stage lights came on and fans were told the star was too sick to continue the show.

    According to a statement released by Usher's rep Friday, the singer is "suffering from upper respiratory illness which is currently preventing him from performing a proper show. After consultation with doctors, he has been advised to reschedule the upcoming dates in order to get the rest he needs to ensure a complete recovery." (Shows in Rotterdam and Antwerp have been rescheduled for March.)

    Usher himself expressed his disappointment about the situation. "I deeply regret having to reschedule the shows," he said in a statement released Friday. "I am truly sorry for any inconvenience I have caused my fans. My fans are the best in the world and I am looking forward to getting better so that I can give them the show they deserve."

    I don't like this remixed version of "More", but I do love the album version of the song. I think Usher can pull off this new "pop" direction he's going into. Just hope he doesn't forget his R&B roots along the way.
