Usher performed his hit single “Love In This Club” on MTV’s hit show The Hills season finale. Young Jeezy even made a guest appearance for the performance. Usher’s new album, Here I Stand, will be in stores May 27th. Check out the performance above.
♫ Chris Brown f/ Keri Hilson – “Superhuman”
Here is a yet another track by Chris Brown, featuring Keri Hilson, from the re-release of his album Exclusive: The Forever Edition (Jive). It is a nice little fairytale ballad, literally. Chris was a tad weak on some spots but I will admit that he meshes so well with Keri on this song; although in addition to the female counterpart the repetitive “love” song shit, from No Air to Superhuman, can be a little redundant. I feel like Ne-Yo when he said, “I’m so sick of love songs!” This being relevant in my case.

Game 3: Cleveland Cavaliers Vs. Boston Celtics
The Cleveland Cavaliers take the victory at home in last night’s game against the Boston Celtics. The Cavs won by 24 in Game 3 (108-84). LeBron James was determined to win for the home team last night. James had 21 points, 8 assists and 5 rebounds. Delonte West was on point last night with 21 points, 7 assists and 5 rebounds. West said at the end of the game:
“We came out, jumped on them and didn’t give it back,” West said.
The Celtics are still leading this series (2-1) but a lot can change in the next game. Game 4 will be in Cleveland which will make it harder for the Celtics to maintain their lead.
Game 4 airs Monday (May 12) on TNT.

It seems whenever a team is home it’s easier for them to win games but this wasn’t the case for last night’s game. The Detroit Pistons defeats the Orlando Magic with a 3-pointer by Tayshaun Prince in the last 8.9 seconds in the final quarter (90-89). Pistons still leading the series (3-1). Tayshaun Price totaled 17 points, 5 assists and 5 rebounds. Pistons’ coach Flip Saunders feared they would lose without their star point-guard, Chauncey Billups, but Hamilton stepped in and took charge. Richard Hamilton scored 32 points, 6 rebounds, and 3 assists.
Game 5 airs Tuesday (May 13) @ 7 on TNT
♫ Lindsay Lohan – “Bossy”
Lindsay Lohan is back with all new material for her forthcoming album set to be release later on this year. The song is called Bossy; it was produced by Stargate and written by Ne-Yo. Wow, what a trio! Word on the net is that Lindsay will be going for a more urban-disco feel this time around. I’m loving this song, with it’s heavy synth and rhythmic sound, it totally fits her! I can see this being a major hit single if marketed properly. The song is sexy, aggressive and kick-ass! Anyway, it’s good to see LiLo switching it up a bit — though I do love her latest album, A Little More Personal.

♫ Ashanti – “Lose Your Love”
A brand new track has surfaced by Ashanti entitled Lose Your Love, the song appears to be a leftover track from the R&B singer’s forthcoming album, The Declaration, set to release this Summer off The Inc. I can see why it was scrapped. Lose Your Love, although exudes beautiful affection and passion in lyrics, sounds quite weak of a track for Ashanti; and to be honest I’ve heard better from her.

♫ Nelly f/ Ciara + Jermaine Dupri – “Stepped On My Js”
Here is a brand new leaked track from Nelly‘s forthcoming album, Brass Knuckles (Derrty/Universal), which will be in stores this Summer. The song, Stepped On My Js, features Ciara as well as Jermaine Dupri who produced on the track; it also features a sample from J-Kwon‘s (remember him?) Tispy. The song is alrite, I mean it wouldn’t particularly be single material, though.

♫ N*E*R*D – “Spaz”
Here is a new track from N*E*R*D‘s forthcoming project Seeing Sounds (Virgin) also releasing sometime this Summer. The song is called Spaz and I totally spazed when I heard this song on a commercial!! I was like, “that must be new!” So I went to searching all over the Internet and apparently I was right! The song is fun and energetic, I just rocked out to it in my room a few minutes ago, my Mom thinks I have gone mad and I love it! N*E*R*D is back peoples…

♫ Usher – “Trading Places” // “This Ain’t Sex”
Here are two brand new tracks from Usher‘s forthcoming album, Here I Stand (Jive), which also will be releasing this Summer. Trading Places, produced by Tricky Stewart of course, would be nothing short of a Bed 2.0; it even has that heavy string allusion. Needless to say I love the song and this is definitely a good look for Usher. This Ain’t Sex is vibrant and rockable, this song reminds me of a something Scar would do, I really dig it!
