Ragged 6 months ago under: Usher, Tameka Foster

Usher received some negative press when he decided to marry Tameka Foster.
From singing about casual sex when he was just 15 to detailing the devastating details of an affair on his blockbuster CD "Confessions," his songs have been filled with sex, passion, romance, partying, and yes, sometimes love -- but young love, new love, fleeting love. Lyrics about commitment and enduring relationships were hard to find on his platinum-plus albums.
Sure, the first single off his new album may talk about "Love in This Club." But Usher is newly married and the father of a 7-month-old son. He has moved on from the party scene to the family life, and his new sense of responsibility has spilled over into his music on "Here I Stand," which comes out on Tuesday.
"When I started off writing this album, I wasn't married. I wasn't engaged, I didn't have a child," says Usher, 29. "I wanted to make substance-filled records that are off the beaten path from what is typical. Trends die. Love lives on.
"I wrote about so many tumultuous relationships and issues that I've had in relationships and people reacting to it. Let me change the stakes. Let me talk about the pleasures of a relationship."..." cnn.com
I completely agree with him. He has given us so much good music. why throw the mans personal love life into it? He has the right as well as everyone else to marry whomever he wants. Its just ridiculous how people dont have lives of there own to keep tabs on someone elses. Hes a wonderful singer/father/actor.
