Katy Perry, Usher, and some of the cast of Glee shared the stage at the Kids’ Inaugural Concert on Saturday night!
President Obama and his wife Michelle, as well as their daughters Sasha and Malia attended the concert, as well as hundreds of children from military families and children from local schools in Washington D.C.!
Check out Katy’s performance of her hit “Part Of Me” above!
Adding to the current list of celebs who worked with Justin is gal-pal Taylor Swift.
We are really excited to see what touch the country star will bring to the album – especially in comparison to the rappers/R&B artists who’ve collaborated with Justin so far.
Every time Justin Bieber releases a single from his album “Under the Mistletoe,” we feel like we are opening up our Holiday presents early! This morning Usher called Ryan Seacrest to talk about the release of “Chestnuts Roasting On An Open Fire.” The single which is available for download from iTunes at 7:30 has a lot of buzz around it!
“Justin and I did the classic record ‘Chestnuts Roasting On An Open Fire.’ This record is going to be remembered for years to come. It’s a record that has always been one of my favorites, and I’m happy that I was able to share it with Justin, and for us to put it out. The album is full of surprises, Justin’s ‘Under The Mistletoe‘ is going to be incredible,” shared Usher.
Usher continued by sharing how Justin’s career has grown so much since he discovered the teen sensation. “Its amazing to see the success of his career, and not only how seriously he takes it but also just how much he loves his fans. He is also really growing as an artist, and finding himself which is the most important part. You can get lost in this, but he is growing.”
Usher also recalled Ryan Seacrest’s involvement in developing Justin’s career saying, “I want the entire world to understand just how on it Ryan really is. When everybody else at the stations had doubts there was one person who truly believed in Justin’s talent and said, ‘This kid is talented, he’s the real deal, and we’re going to go for it.’ Every time I think about those conversations, and the people who really believed from the beginning. I really understand where the foundation is. I just wanted to say thank you.”
Speaking of being a mentor to young boys, Usher also has to small boys of his own. “Saturday is a special day with my boys. My boys fight over the legos so we have to play pick up sticks too. My weekends turn from clubs to popping bottles with my boys. Its called dichotomy.”
We love it! Check out the Usher and J-Biebz collab here:
Justin Bieber has been dropping little Holiday hints here and there and his latest surprise was revealed today when he announced one of his biggest collaborations.
From Boyz II Men to Taylor Swift to Usher, we didn’t know if Justin would be able to top the previous collaborations he has already revealed to the public, but we were pleasantly surprised to find that the newest addition to his Holiday Album is non other than the queen of R&B, Mariah Carey.
The two are planning on collaborating on her hit Christmas song, “All I want for Christmas is You” as a duet. We didn’t think the song could get any better, but we think with the addition of J-Biebz, it’s going to become the #1 Christmas song to listen to.
