Usher Discusses One Night Stand Tour, Obama Win

Usher visited B96 in Chicago, Illinois to talk with J Niice about his One Night Stand tour. The R&B superstar talked about wanting to do something special for the ladies on this tour, and how the guys reap the benefits, how the music game has changed since when he was coming up and how there was a greater appreciation for bands and live performance back then, teaming up with Ne-Yo, wanting to work with Kanye West, dancing with Michael Jackson and James Brown, and more.

Usher also commented on the election of Barack Obama as the 44th U.S. President. "It says progress for us in America," Usher said. "To have an African American president is no different than Tiger Woods going in the PGA. It's no different than Serena and Venus being who they are. I guess that this is just another indication of what we can do as African Americans in America. We came to this country as slaves, and we never got our 40 acres and a mule. So it's cool to take 50 states and the White House." Watch the interview below.

Beyonce Knowles Wasn’t Hurried To Marry Jay-Z

Beyonce Knowles tells Seventeen magazine in their December/January issue she wasn't in any hurry to marry Jay-Z. "I was 18 when we first met, 19 when we first started dating," the Destiny's Child star said. "I really don't believe that you will love the same thing when you're 20 as you do at 30. So that was my rule: Before the age of 25, I would never get married." The 27-year-old added, "I feel like you have to get to know yourself, know what you want, spend some time by yourself and be proud of who you are before you can share that with someone else."
