USHER...THE DANCING DIVA!

I was in love with Usher's performances last night on Dancing with the Stars until I read this article. What a Diva!! Check it out:

Usher’s pre-taped, edited performance for "Dancing with the Stars" finale may have seemed seamless, but People mag reports it was what happened behind the scenes that was the big story.


First, Usher showed up late, throwing the entire production behind schedule. Then, while appearing to lip-synch two songs—”Yeah!” and “Love in This Club”—he fell out of step with his choreography, turning the wrong way once and losing his mic a second time. With each mistake he walked offstage.


The performance then went even more off-course when Usher took a long break to get a drink. A source says, “He was ridiculous. Such a diva.”


After Usher’s act, the DWTS cast and crew had only 15 minutes to prepare for the live show (rather than the standard 45-minute post-taping buffer.)


The source says, “The [dancers] were all at their trailers ten minutes before the show was supposed to go live, like, ‘Don’t we have a live show to do? There was a lot of holdup. We almost didn’t [make it].”


The judges–who were dressed in their finale show formalwear for the pre-show taping–made a quick costume change, while a team of grips hurried to wipe away scuff marks on the dance floor left behind by Usher and his dancers.


And just in the nick of time: the live show went off without a hitch.


Host Tom Bergeron told People mag, “It’s never gotten that close before–that was scary. I don’t even know that [judges] Len and Bruno put on pants to come back, they changed outfits so fast!”
