As Usher wraps up another season of The Voice, the show on which he helps hopefuls achieve their dreams, the hitmaker has hit the promo trail in support of his own.

With the crooner’s latest single ‘Good Kisser’ climbing up the charts, the Grammy winner stopped by Revolt TV to plug the cut and its parent album.

During the interview, the 35-year-old revealed that he has teamed up with ‘Loyal’ comrade (and label-mate) Chris Brown for a song on the as yet untitled project. He also shared his thoughts on the posthumous Michael Jackson album ‘Xscape’, which he recently helped promote at the iHeartRadio Awards.

The MET Gala served up all sorts of spectacles this week; some frightful, some delightful.

Yet, one thing that is certain is that chart forces Beyonce and Rihanna were the main names on the lips of the masses – before, during, and after the extravaganza.

Despite being pit against each other by many (the reason for which we’ll never understand, as one’s talent far outranks the other), the ladies played pleasant for the paparazzi and posed it up together – as we earlier reported.

Since then, another snap of King Bey and her admirer Rih has surfaced – this time embracing as they’re watched on by Jay Z and Beyonce’s team.

There are many routes to go with this, but we’ll throw it over to you…

Oh, August Alsina.

Nearly a month after the “106 & Park” incident where he scolded the show’s hostess for asking about an ongoing beef with fellow R&B crooner Trey Songz, the ‘I Luv This Sh*t’ singer is still being bombarded with questions about his classic TV moment response.
