There was only one thing more amazing than the grammy performance with Justin Bieber, Jaden Smith & Usher and that is the relationship that Justin Bieber and Usher continue to maintain. What's so amazing about it? Hmmm.....let's see. For those of you that don't know, Usher is Justin Bieber's mentor. Anyone who knows the music industry knows that it is very cutthroat. There are your true friends and then there are those who call themselves your true friends.
I can personally say that when you get a certain amount of success, there is a tendancy to start to look around and others who are more or less successful than you and start to make comparisons. I've had to curb myself quite a few times! At one point I just came to realize that there is always gonna be someone that is bigger, has more fans, and more influence. So instead of playing the comparison game, I decided to honor both my fans and my web friends who are doing the same thing as me. If someone had more success and influence, I decided to not only learn from them but use my site to promote them as well.
Usher was the hottest artist around a couple of years ago. However in recent years, things began to slide in both his personal life and his career. But that has never stopped him from being a mentor to Justin Bieber. Usher's mentoring helped propel Bieber to stardom even when his own career was on the rocks. Usher could have easily sabotaged Bieber or given him advice that would take him down the wrong path. Instead Usher has been willing to watch Bieber rise to stardom and have his record sales go through the roof even when he himself was going through a mid-life crisis. He taught Justin Bieber two of the most important rules in this industry....honor God and honor thy fans.
