Both of his next two releases - 2001's 8701, and 2004's Confessions - have spawned #1 singles.

Having managed to avoid the 'sophomore jinx', it appears that Usher is not destined to be one of the many flash-in-the-pan pop singers that swarm the airwaves every year and then perish in clumps like so many couture-draped mayflies. Roles in Light It Up (1999 - a film actually about urban kids taking charge of their lousy school, rather than about dope-smoking as the title might imply) and She's All That (also 1999) were to follow. Every hot young singer harbors acting aspriratons (apparently), and Usher is no exception: the next year he made his big-screen debut in the less-than-thrilling teen thriller The Faculty. The first single from this release, You Make Me Wanna, can apparently have its title completed with the word 'buy', as it surpassed his earlier efforts and was certified double-platinum. His second album My Way - completed in 1997 after the singer had graduated from high schoool - saw Usher assuming creative control of his material. It was enough to attract the unnatural interests of the Coca-Cola company, however, who enlisted Usher to peform commercial jingles. His first single release, I Think of You, produced by legend-in-his-own-mind Puff Daddy, attained gold status but the eponymous debut release fared somewhat less well.

Even having a conversation with another woman, period, about matters of your relationship or emotions is, in my opinion, not being faithful.Chosen for stardom by record executives after an Atlanta talent show, the R&B singer Usher won his first recording contract at the age of 14. I was faithful at heart, but not faithful all the way. 'Towards the end of our marriage, I found myself lost, and I just wanted out,' said Usher. Oprah asked the mega R&B star if he had ever cheated on Foster. Usher said that the relationship soured quickly, and admitted that he played a part. The couple married in a private ceremony later that year. Usher ended up canceling the ceremony hours before it was set to begin. You know…this is supposed to be the person that I feel I'm going to share the rest of my life with and nobody is responding the way that I'd like them to respond,' said Usher. One of those people that didn't believe in the marriage was Usher's mother, who decided not to attend the planned ceremony. 'There were a ton of people who believed in the marriage and there were a ton of people who didn't,' said Usher. Usher said he loved Foster and was in love with her leading up to their 2007 marriage. 'I've been a man of integrity throughout the entire process, which I hope my boys will understand.

'This will be the only time that I've ever chosen to speak about it,' he added. This was the first time Usher has chosen to speak about his, and apparently the last. She made us enemies in a way that I could never understand,' Usher said of his relationship with Foster. Last month a judge awarded the 33-year-old singer primary physical custody of the former couple's two sons last month - 4-year-old Usher Raymond V and 3-year-old Naviyd. Oprah said that she had tried to get Usher to talk to her for years. Oprah visited Usher at his home for an hour-long interview, which aired on OWN Sunday night. 17, 2012— - Usher didn't hold back anything from Oprah Winfrey on an episode of 'Oprah's Next Chapter,' speaking candidly about his recent custody battle with Tameka Foster, and admitting that he played a role in their failed marriage.
