Usher is a total hypocrite. You appear on American Idol as a mentor and then perform the next day to promote your CD to millions of people and then you're going to get your panties in a bunch and tear down the same platform that you were praising previously, whatever! Justin Bieber was found by Usher on YouTube which is basically a World Wide Talent Show. You didn't build Justin Bieber up, he already had 1 million+ hits before you nabbed him up so essentially Usher, you did the same thing American Idol does. American Idol survives because the winners have a built-in audience, just like your Justin Bieber did, and those people go out and buy the CD's or download it from Itunes. The entire music industry is running scared because the people who buy music aren't being brainwashed by the music execs and being force fed a bunch of crap that YOU tell us is good music and that we should buy. With the internet, talent shows, Sirius and other avenues the general population now make and break music Artists, not the record labels. Maybe, Usher, if you went to the people about your music instead of relying on the old school way of music your CD's would go Platinum, like Lady Gaga who actually has focus groups on her music to see what the people like!!! It's called the music business for a reason and talent shows etc aren't dumb they are adapting to the NEW music industry, which equals sales which equals money which equals good business.
