Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Concerts / Tours, Videos, R&B / Soul,
One Usher fan had a moment with the singer this week that neither she nor he will ever forget.
Monday night at Madison Square Garden, the entertainer invited a concertgoer on to the stage during his show. Unfortunately, what should have been a romantic serenade turned into a painful memory for both parties. (Cue the tape to the 2:50 mark to see the awkward moment.)
Despite being kicked in the face, Usher says he has "no hard feelings" about the event. "In all my years, this is one of the most interesting experiences. I got a kick out of it!" he claimed to Us Weekly. "It looked worse than it actually was. My audience and I got a good laugh."
"Wherever you are baby, don't feel bad," he added.

Paul McCartney Plays Tribute to John Lennon on SNL
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Performances, Videos, Rock,
Sir Paul McCartney helped to create one of SNL’s most memorable episodes over the weekend.
In-between appearing in skits, McCartney took to the stage no less than four times to perform several hits -- but the most poignant was definitely when he honored former bandmate and collaborator John Lennon. This year marks the 30th since the rocker’s death, and McCartney played tribute by playing “A Day in the Life” and Lennon’s own “Give Peace a Chance.”
Watch (and listen!) in the video above.

Thursday was an exciting day musically in the talk show scene.
Early in the day, Prince made a surprise appearance on The View – much to the surprise of the audience and cohost Sherri Shepherd. The singer, who stopped by to promote his Welcome 2 America tour, came to deliver tickets – but walked away with an awkward confession from Sherri.
“You don’t understand, Prince. I’ve wanted to make love to you my whole life,” Shepherd admitted after trying to take his gloves. (He, understandably, left quickly thereafter.)
