If you know me, you will know one major thing about me. It’s that I am obsessed with the R&B singer Usher.
For three years, I’ve wanted to write a column about Usher and now I am finally getting my chance.
His new song, “Good Kisser,” came out on Monday and lets be honest, it is about me.
Everyone who is reading this that knows me is probably either laughing or shaking their head because I always make jokes about Usher writing and dedicating his music to me.
That’s fine, because my love for Usher will never die and I don’t care about what anyone thinks.
I kiss the ground he walks on and gladly tell people about it.
But why judge me for being obsessed with an artist? Haven’t you all been obsessed with someone or something that much?
Well, I’m sure you all have and if you haven’t, then you’re weird.
Everyone thinks the only reason I am obsessed with Usher is because of his dashing good looks. While that isn’t the main reason, it definitely adds to the list.
I love him because Usher is my idol.
Being a journalist, I understand how difficult it may be to stay out of the media, especially being a celebrity.
I think he does it eloquently and responsibly. He has two kids, who he cherishes and he does a great job making sure he doesn’t do dumb things for the media to find out about.
He understands the importance of being a parent, first and foremost, but also understands his loyalty to his fans, which is represented well through his music.
I hate when people just assume I love him for superficial reasons. It seems to be a common thing with people nowadays.
Just be mindful the next time you decide to judge someone for something they really like, because it goes beyond the surface most times.
