Usher rocked the Good Morning America summer concert series stage yesterday on ABC performing his new single “DJ Got Us Falling In Love” and his mega hit “OMG”. His EP, VERSUS, hits store this Tuesday, August 24th.

It also looks like Usher may be taking Ne-Yo’s shine come MTV VMA Award time. Earlier this week Ne-Yo vented:

A Musical 3som that is! It’s been a steady week for video releases from the top 3 male R&B/Pop stars : Usher’s “There Goes My Baby”, Ne-Yo’s “Beautiful Monster” “Champagne”, and Chris Brown’s “12 Strands (Matrix)” (Preview). Check out the videos below.

Usher “There Goes My Baby”

This single has been out for quite sometime. Not sure what took so long for the video to come out. And while Usher’s album is doing very well on the charts and sells, it still seems that usher is missing that sparkle he had years ago.

Ne-Yo “Beautiful Monster”, “Champagne Life”

I am a huge Ne-Yo fan; however this single has been very unimpressive and now that Ne-Yo has added this long drawn out “acting” skit to the video for “Beautiful Monster”….BLAH! Thank God for his JUST IN CASE MONSTER FLOPS I’M COVERED single “Champagne Life” (I love this track)!

“Champagne Life”

Chris Brown “Matrix”

Last but never least, the once underdog of the three, Chris Brown, is getting ready to release a special video for his fans for the track “12 Strands (Matrix)” which did not make the final cut of his last album Graffitti. From the preview below, I am intrigued and can’t wait to see the full video! Chris Brown is about to TAKE OVER AND SAVE the male R&B/Pop industry! The preview makes me want to go somewhere and try some MATRIX type ISH!

It’s been a year and a half since The Year of The Gentlemen, Ne-Yo’s third studio album was released. The singer songwriter returns with his follow-up studio album Libra Scale later this year. From the new album here is the new lead single “Beautiful Monster”. The Stargate produced track is a little reminiscent of his first single “Closer” from his last album with a dance track feeling. Sources tell us that a lot of the material on Ne-Yo’s new album will be more dance inspired with a little R&B.

Check out the single and tell us what you think.

Rick Ross is back and getting ready for his fourth studio album “Teflon Don” scheduled to be in stores this summer. His first single “Super High” features the Multi-Grammy R&B/Pop singer Ne-Yo which literally hit urban radio stations instantly when it leaked.

Here’s the new video for the single which features Actress Stacy Dash. Rick Ross told MTV, “The video is actually like a flashback of [the movie] ‘Easy Rider’ – a bunch of homies hoggin’ the highway. We run across a beautiful young lady, which happens to be Stacey Dash, and a dude – he’s a d—– bag. I end up snatching her and spending the rest of the evening with her, the way a boss should.”

Rick Ross has done a good job the past 3 albums meshing Hip-Hop & R&B together with singles like “Speedin” featuring R-Kelly, “Here I Am” featuring Avery Storm, “Magnificent” featuring John Legend, and now his new single “Super High”.

Diddy and Rick Ross announced last week on BET’s 106 N Park that Rick Ross is now a “partner” with Bad Boy as a “brand management” deal. (READ ABOUT IT)
