Soul/R&B Music: Favorite Male Artist
Usher
Chris Brown
Trey Songz
After R&B stars Chris Brown and Usher made headlines a few weeks ago by appearing together on stage during Usher’s performance in Jamaica, many have questioned whether or not the duo are planning to take their act on tour.
Although producer Bryan-Michael Cox tempted fans by dropping “some exclusive [expletive]” that Brown and Usher were going to tour, he later tweeted that he didn’t know that information for sure. (“It would be dope, tho[ugh],” Cox added.)
Brown also fueled the speculation by tweeting, “What would you guys say if me and Usher went on tour?”
But according to Usher’s camp, this is all just talk – for now, at least. “There are no plans at this time for Usher and Chris Brown to tour together,” reps for the 31-year-old singer said. Brown’s reps said ditto with the statement: “There is no confirmed Chris Brown and Usher tour at this time.”
Perhaps they’re just waiting to see how badly fans want it. Brown tweeted Wednesday, “Would you pay to see an Usher and Chris Brown concert/tour,” followed by, “RT #CBUSHERTOUR if u want it to happen.” Lo and behold, at the time of this posting, #cbushertour was a trending topic.
What do you think – yay or nay to the thought of a C. Breezy/Usher tour?
Bryan-Michael Cox slipped some exciting information while hanging out with Jermaine Dupri.
During a recent appearance on JD’s “Living The Life” web series, Bryan was recapping all the amazing things that his famous friends are up to. After plugging Trey Songz and Monica’s tour, he leaked some information about another road show.
“Usher and the boy Chris Brown going on tour. Y’all know that, right?” Bryan said. “I might have just gave y’all some exclusive sh*t!”!
Unfortunately, that’s all the info he dished on the tour, but we can’t wait to hear more about it. There’s no word yet on when the tour will start or what cities Usher and Chris might stop in.
To see what else Bryan had to say, peep the video below.
Reggae Sumfest organiser Johnny Gourzong has expressed pleasure at having international R&B star Usher as the headline act on International Night II, Saturday, July 24 and agreed that Usher’s performance would certainly go down as one of the best in the entire 18-year history of Reggae Sumfest.
“Despite the rain, Usher pulled out the crowd on Saturday night … and he is so easy to work with,” the Summerfest director disclosed.
”You know, there are some international acts who are just so difficult to host. They want to leave the island as soon as the show ends; well …not Usher. He stayed on and he has had a great time in Jamaica. He likes ox-tail and jerk chicken and he was just enjoying the island.”
According to Gourzong, Usher and headline act for International Night I, US singer Chris Brown, recorded a song together at a studio in Montego Bay last Saturday and on Sunday, Usher and his friends partied the night away at Pier One in the second city.
“He said he wanted to go somewhere local and we took him to Pier One where he danced up a storm,” Gourzong said, sounding delighted.
“Usher was teaching Robert (Russell) some dance moves and Robert in turn was teaching him some of our moves. I can’t really say how that one worked out,” Gourzong laughed.
“And it was a pleasure having Chris Brown as well. It was great to have them both on stage on Saturday night. That was a first,” Gourzong added.
A tweet on Usher’s Twitter page yesterday, stated: “Incredible weekend in Montego Bay for Reggae Sumfest!”
