Usher and Lil Mama are on a mission to get our youth involved in voting. They are speaking out on the importance of voting and reminding everyone that their vote counts.

This will be Mama’s first time voting and she is encouraging other young American’s to do the same.  Every vote counts and celebrities are spreading the word.

Check out the interview Usher did with Celebsgonegood.com.

So what do you think…Did they motivate you to go out and vote?

In the new issue of Essence Magazine, R&B sensation, Usher, opens up about his ups and downs of being married, the choices he’s made, putting God first, and his ultimate purpose: being the best father he can be to his son, Usher Raymond the V.

In the last year, you got married and you’ve had a baby. Which has changed you more?

“They’re both linked—I can’t have one without the other. But the one thing that changed me the most is having a wife. Our child is an extension of that union.”

Why?

“Because now I represent what he is to become. He’s gonna admire me, he’s gonna look up to me. He’s gonna say, “I wanna be”—or he should say— “I wanna be like my father. I wanna be a man of valor. I wanna possess what my father has as a man.” To get married was a choice. To have a child is a responsibility.”

Does that new responsibility challenge you to make music that is more responsible?

“I started making ‘Here I Stand’ before I had my son and before I was married. It was a deliberate choice to make music with substance, not just about the things that we’re accustomed to—music about being the celebrity, the player, or having the car, the girl and the bling.”

Your father wasn’t around to raise you. How do you plan to be different for your son than your father was for you?

“Just simply being there. I don’t judge my father because I forgave him for anything he’d ever done to hurt me unintentionally. My father and I had a very short amount of time together throughout my entire life, but the most valuable time was during his final days. He asked me to forgive him for not being there. He asked me to give him a chance, give him a shot because he loved me, and he had always loved me. But it was very difficult for him to be in the situation he was in and be the example he wanted me to follow. So he intentionally stayed away. And he was kept away from me too. He didn’t like it, but he didn’t fight it because he knew he wasn’t living right.”

What would you say to young men and women about what they should expect from a man who’s a father? What is living right as a father? How do you define that? How would that man look?

“That man would accept his responsibilities as a father, regardless of whether he was with the mother of the child. Men will leave a situation for several reasons. One, it’s not comfortable. It may be violent. The two of you may grow apart. But you should never abandon that responsibility, which is to be there, reading with your child, being supportive of your child’s growth. That is communicating. That is making the choice to put your child before your own vanity.”

If you could take your finger and touch your 9-month-old son, Usher V, on the head and impart some certain knowledge, what would you want him to know?

“First of all, I’d actually look inside myself and evaluate what I felt like I missed from my own father.”

What did you miss?

“Knowing that I was accepted. That I mattered. And hearing that he cared enough to put me before himself.”

Ok! magazine reports that Usher has been lined up to perform on the season finale of Dancing With The Stars.

He has reportedly even asked Mario’s partner, Karina Smirnoff, to be his dance partner even though she was recently booted off. Three female dancers from DWTS will also perform in the number.

I’m sure that you, like me, often wondered what R & B singer Usher’s balls smell like. Did you guess “old cottage cheese and bologna?” We’ll, you’d be wrong! In a leaked exerpt from Karrine “Superhead” Steffans’ new book “The Vixen Diaries,” the hip hop video actress recalls (via Media Take Out):

After a concert when [Usher and I] “fucked” and it was smelling like straight up FISH up in backstage in his dressing room. It was NOT me either. So I’m like babes? What’s that smell. He tried to make it seem like it already smelled like that when they got to the arena. I’m like whatever, can we get this over with. It was fucking horrible and on top of that it was smelling back there. This man is not packing, his dick is way small and he was having a hard time trying to find my hole. I was sick to my stomach. I got dressed and ran out of there.

So, StarKist, then? Or Paris Hilton’s puss? Good to know. Now I’ll be able to make “Usher” an integral part of my everyday conversation. For your own personal reference, so you’re sure to use it correctly:

Ush·er (ush’ r)

n.

1. Unusually foul or fishy-smelling genitals. (She pulled down her pants and out came the usher.)
2. One who smells of foul or fishy-smelling genitals. (That guy looks hot, but be warned: he’s a total usher.)

v. ush·ered, ush·er·ing, ush·ers

v.tr.

1. To emit a fishy stink. (When I had that awful yeast infection, my lady parts ushered like never before.)
2. To contaminate one’s genitals. (I’m never having sex with that homeless guy again — he ushered up my crotch for days.)
