Who really cares? Usher decided to marry this older lady who abandoned her own children to follow in his celebrity shadow..i will not buy his CD’s ever again..especially after firing his Mother/Manager I lost respect for him.

My advice to Usher is take a year off and tell your “wife” to stay at home away from the limelight..she has ruined your career.

Leave Usher alone!!! Why can’t he select who he feels comfortable with as a lifelong partner? If his career is ruined he ruined it himself, she was only responsible for his wardrobe!

2 u player haters, your comments r rude. Usher u keep doing what u do. I met Usher in Publix grocery store in Alpharetta and found him to 2 b extreamly nice. He has done so much! Just cause he’s married 2 an older woman and seems 2 b happy!! Hey r u mad or jealous that it wasn’t you? U don’t know for a fact that she abondon her kids, that’s between her and Usher. So, stop hating. Way to go Usher, yeah.

Have you guys ever thought that he could really love her? I don’t completely agree with baby after baby with ANYONE even if they can afford it. There are way too many kids out there that are not wanted as it is. She abandoned her other kids? Wow, she doesn’t deserve to have anymore.

What a mess!

I don’t get it. Out of all the women in the world he had to choose from…why her? No way they’re equally yoked, but hey to each his own. The truth is when I see him in interviews, I hear him talk about the negatives of being married..needing his space..working through problems etc. I don’t see happiness and bliss. This is going to cost Ush twice. First with dwindling record sales which he has already experienced hence this lame a** “women’s only” tour, and second with the imminent divorce and lofty settlement. (hope dude had a prenup)

What appeal is there for women to go see him anymore? His earnings have been greatly compromised by this marriage? Dude ain’t a teeny bopper no more, and older ladies aren’t into him enough to support his efforts. It was the young girls i.e. Chris Brown fans who made him rich and are now making Chris Brown rich. Usher held on to his “crown” too long without stepping up his game. He waited forever to release a lackluster album, and couldn’t understand why it isn’t selling. It sucks that’s why!!! At least CB got it right with Rihanna!!!!!! I can’t believe Usher doesn’t have friends who care about him, that asked him if he was friggin crazy!!! It even got “called off” the first time. God bless them both, and I truly hope they are happy. I give it another year. Not hating…just stating the obvious.

I hope his child is healthy and they are happy. Time will tell.

It amazes me that people assume he made a mistake. Who in the H3LL are we to judge? He’s a grown man with grown man responsibilities. It doesn’t matter who Usher could have married someone would have had something to say about it. He married and older black woman with three kids. Good for her! Now get back to your perfect lives!

We chose our mate and he chose his mate, so just let it go and let them enjoy their lives and build memories to cherish.

For the women that are complaining about him marrying this older woman and him ruining himself: I think you just can’t swallow the fact that someone like Usher wanted HER yet no one wants you.

News flash: If they divorce, he STILL don’t want you.

You need to start shouting her praises cause if she can land him, then there’s hope that you might actually land someone of your own.

Keep hope alive!!

Usher and Tameka are enjoying their life. I’m going to enjoy mine. Everyone else should put emphasis on enjoying theirs and less emphasis on Usher and Tameka.

Actually, I know her personally and she and her ex-husband mutually agreed to have JOINT custody of her boys. She has a great relationship with her ex so, sorry haters…no drama there!

Also, I find it interesting that when Usher was “confessing” on his last album…it went platinum. But when he does something mature and settles down and commits…”oh he’s ruined his career”! Judgemental people should just get a life and stop commenting on things that they have no idea about. It’s quite pathetic.

To GoObama….Thanks for clearing up the abandonment on Tameka’s behalf. I’m reading this stuff & saying where the heck did that come from. I’ve never heard anything in the news about her abandoning her other children. Lord Have Mercy!!! Can folks just be happy 4 other people & stop all the negative comments. That man is living his life & could care less what any of us have to say!!! I’m agreeing with Dee also………..LIVE YOUR OWN LIFE!!!

Go Usher and Tameka!….Thank you for doing the right thing and setting a positive example re: marriage….and about his career, a marriage can’t kill a hot album….it seems obvious that the album is the reason his career is changing, not the wife!

I can’t believe that people are so critical of Usher and his own personal choice of a wife. He could have had many women and not committed to anyone but I admire his maturity and ability to look beyond the fact that his wife is older and already had kids. Just the mere fact that this didn’t stop him from loving her and making a commitment shows a maturity level beyond his years. I think their story should give hope to the many single mothers who have given up on love and marriage to a supportive man!

Personally, I don’t care who he’s married to, why he married her or how many children they have. I do however agree with the comment about him losing his “IT” factor after he got married. I think it all has to do with the way it was done. He cheated, lied and on top of that he fired his mother. That’s bad business. Karma is a motha…yeah yeah yeah!!!

It’s a fact that his career has suffered since marrying her. Maybe he should look into targeting a new group of fans or something. He can’t compete with Chris Brown or Ne-Yo and his not old enough to pull-off old school. She has tarnished his image as a heart throb with the fans that he covets. He chose his personal life over professional and that is what he has to live with. It’s not a bad thing but it’s what it is. Personally, I think she was too old for him because he wasn’t really a mature individual from the start. He married into way too much baggage and now he’s racked up two kids and given away at least half of his earnings when he finally figures out that he made a HUGE mistake.

First off I have been a fan of Usher since 1997. I love Usher to death and I will always be a fan I just went to the ladies only tour and I was really suprised at how he played so many of his old songs and called out to his real Usher fans. I have no problem with his wife but Usher dissed his fans when he started screaming about how much he loved his wife and was trying to shut down fan sites because nobody seemed to like her. You don’t diss your fans i’m sorry he should have kept his personal life private like every other star.

First and formost I have been a fan of Usher since call me a mack Ever since then I fell in love with him,so since day one I was hooked. Me and Usher grew up together, when He went through broken relationships I was going throuh mine. I have followed Usher every move, not because im a stalker or nothing like but that I just saw myself in him sounds crazy but thats some truth for your azz. Anyways I did get a little mad when he got married all for My own different reasons and views and im gonna keep them to Myself. I respect Usher as the man he became and the love he found, I am proud of him. I did get to go to his Ladies only show here in Chicago. I was the lucky lady who also got pulled onstage @ the concert man I cant stop thinking about it, it was surreal. Usher is so romantic and sweet. Jeanette You did AN EXCELLENT job with this one. So to all the ladies who never met Usher nor got close to him BOY! You dont know what You missing. LoL.
