You may, or may not have viewed this video before but, I just stumbled on it today whie browsing a site to keep you guys up on the trends and informed.
I wanted to share this with all of you. Your talent is only as good as you push for. People become complacent in their abilities and tight cast themselves in a genre because, they are scared to be viewed as something that they are not normally accustom to. Usher really has shown he is willing to be an entertainer for all who appreciates his many talents.
If this video does not push you to be, or do more than, or better than, just view it simply for mere entrainment .
So for those who want to be a "STAR", you can’t just twinkle, YOU HAVE TO WANNA SHINE!!!

Hello people, I had to comment on these two videos that I viewed on a fellow site (Real TALK NY), as Usher, because of his style is one of my favorite entertainers. Usher performed on SNL the other day. I felt the vocals were not as up to par as he normally delivers however; the way he was styled was definitely on PAR.
In my opinion the songs he performed, didn’t match the attire he needed for his fans to truly appreciate the entertainers choreography. He still gets 2 thumbs up for the performance. I hope his album lives up to the hype as, the singles that I have heard so far, already has me waiting for the release date.

Terry McMillan Sets The Record Straight
Uneq Magazine's Exclusive Interview
By Raymonde Green, Editor In Chief
Homophobic. Maniac. Bitter. It is words like these that we’ve been hearing about literary icon Terry McMillan that made me cringe…
______________________________________________
He is a fashion forward individual. One who is a headlining figure that unknowingly shapes his industry? He exhibits discriminating taste with a unique style of his own. He introduces a signature look with ease, as others foists, showing inferiority by emulating him with an unwavering ambition, meticulously trying yet…, just can't execute the challenge. He exudes charisma, charm, and stability, with an innerness that yodels I AM HIM! HEAR ME ROAR!
He constantly, reinvents himself, and is motivated to conquer the next challenge with only himself. He dictates the trends. He is cutting edge. He is…. Avenue Reports Fashion Icon.
Usher Raymond, has shown America that style comes in phases. You grow with your look, you mature in your dress, and you reinvent yourself. He has been ward robed in everything from athletic sweats to the pricey and distinguishable 2 piece by Gucci, and wore them all with his signature style.
How does Mr. Raymond constantly stay in front of the curve, which changes with the seasonal mood swings of not only Main stream America but also, a Segmented Black Hollywood?
I will answer this question with a quote that is definitely warranted when giving this stylish gentleman all the accolades of a fashion icon.
It goes...” behind every successful black man, there lies an exceptional black woman."
That's rite! We cannot give Usher all the credit without acknowledging the person responsible for crafting his image. The person who metaphorically utilize designer’s collections as an assortment of colors, and uses the one who’s being styled as their canvas, and as Tameka
Foster, Ushers Stylist and Fiancé becomes the Picasso of this picture, the end result of such collaboration, is a beautiful artistic masterpiece. Hence, a gentleman that is noted as an established entrepreneur, talented entertainer, successful Pop star, and now a polished, well kept man with an innate since of style and who dress impeccably.
So Usher, if your reading this, thank your significant other, you have received Avenue Report's prestigious Fashion Icon Award.
Cast your vote. Who will be next to receive Avenue Report’s fashion Icon Award.

Ok people,
here is my little VMA’s spill on the 2 best dressed in my opinion, and the 2 worst dressed. In addition to a look that just doesn’t need to be touched on period.
First off, you may remember when I came back from New York’s Mercedes Benz fashion week Fall 08 collection. Gray was the trend and considered the color for the “In-the-Know.” In the past fashion tip that I wrote and you can still view on this blog, I stated that Grays are the new black and just a good color for not only the season but also, the fashionable male that would like to be fashion forward.
So with that said, I have to give it to TI. Not only did he dress ready for the Red Carpet but, looks very refreshing even if he dressed a suit like this down with a pair of Air forces. It was a good call and he gets my vote for one of the best dressed males. P.S What’s up with your other half; I wanted to just cut her out the picture. She’s’ killn’ me!

My pick for the one of the most fashionable ladies of the night was….. Do I really have to say that Rihanna looks breath taking in this fuchsia/ Pink ensemble? Well, she really was a looker on the Red carpet. The dress really fit her form and showed off those wonderful assets. Wink wink. She went soft and natural with her makeup which only added to the elegance. However, there are 2 things I do have to make mention of. I wasn’t really feeling the blond streak. That kind of threw the look off and, she could have learned to walk in the dress b4 she put it on, yet she still pulled it off.
Now the worst Dressed!!!
Give the drummer some!!! Well u gotta say to your self, he’s part of a Rock Band so to come grungy; maybe that was the look he was going for.
Well guess what??? I’m, not buying it. Bad look and he knows better than that. I have seen him put together something more appealing for events, and this aint it.
Ooh, don’t you have your own clothing line?? You get the worst dress pick sir.
Now ladies don’t get mad at me but, your girl Beyonce’; jeesh!
She totally dropped the ball here. She looks as if she didn’t have anything to wear and snatched a table cloth off of the dining room table, called Momma Knowles and went to work. It’s a bad rendition of Renaissance fused with the future. Ooh, maybe that was the look she wanted to come up with. The new Retro-futuristic-naissance Statue of Liberty.
Yeah, a twista for me also but, B; you fell short with this one boop. I expected so much more, and you gave me so much less. Ooh well, she will be on many more Red carpets so let’s try again

Now, the moment you all have been waiting for. WTF!!!! You see this monstrosity? What the hell was she thinking of. Who the hell is her stylist? Do I really have to say anything else? I’m going to put this write up on the blog because; I have to here your comments. Am I being too hard on her or what? Now if she wanted to look like a kid from the Jetsons, I would be a little easier but, the pacifier though??? You know what? I can’t say anything else I’m just disgusted.

Perez Hilton says,
"Kanye sizzles in this new David LaChapelle-shot ad for the VMAs on Sept. 9th."
I think he tries tooooooooooo hard sometimes. I cant tell the real Kanye from the image! Kanye, we need too talk. And ooh yeah, the colors this time I have to give you some credit, it doesnt look bad???

Ok Mrs. Victoria Beckham,
You’re seen here with your hubby, David Beckham attending the Nordoff Robbins Music Therapy's Silver Clef Awards in London on June 29, 2001.
She definitely has a very stylish swagga and always seem to put it together flawlessly. She makes him look good with his stylish duds. If I didn’t know any better I would say his style of dress is pretty urban. hummm!!!
Any whoo, she was listed on msn.com as #1 on their Top 20 Celebrities list. For what??? What does she do??? She’s a has been! I will give her credit though. She has been holding down her man for years and married him when she was worth a nice penny. I just cant understand the fascination. Vic, keep standing buy your man even if he's only worth a meesly 23 plus million dollars. LMAO!
And OOOh yeah, stay out of Eddie Murphy business. I know Scary Spice is your girl and all but stay in your lane.
