Congratulations to Ms. Foster. You are a woman of beauty, style, and class. Rather than criticizing you, many of the black women giving opinions here should be clamoring for you to hit the lecture circuit so that they can sit at your feet and learn how a real woman with confidence can get a man (younger yet!) to marry her (and three children). Most of your critics can't even get ONE man to marry them, with no children. Add children, and their chances are marketedly reduced. You could call your lectures "Don't hate me...This is how I do it." I also like that you got married and then had the baby. Young African American women need to (1) stop having babies that they can't afford and (2) stop having babies that the fathers' don't want (3) get an education (4) get married (5) give your children a stable home and role models for success (i.e., espcially a father) (6) stop knocking down people who are happy and successful just because you're not.

I don't understand y everybody is dogging this lady out. I don't care about being all up in people's life. So y r yall all up in Usher's life. He loves Tameka so ya'll need to leave them alone. She might not be the finest thing in the world to you but she is the finest thing in the world to Usher, if she was'nt he would'nt have married her. DUH!! Usher is 29 he can do whatever he wants to do so don't worry about him. LET HIM LIVE HIS LIFE!!!!. I understand if he asked the fans what yall think about his Fiancee but HE DID'NT!!!!. I know that he would'nt do that because it's his life and if he loves her let it be. Imagine yourself being Tameka for girls and for boys Usher. How would u feel girls, about being dogged out the way yall r dogging Tameka out? and boys how would yall feel if yall were Usher and u hear comments about ur wife day after day. They are a happy family. I'm saying this because I want Usher and Tameka to have a happy life without being criticized. I am a HUGE fan of Us

omg, this guy gives you all his talent, his time and his respect as his fans, but is this enough? No, you have to judge who he dates, how he lives, who he loves and marries and the role of his mother in his life! Give him and his wife the space they need. I'm sure he'd have a few opinions on the guys you all must be dating!! I feel sorry for this woman for being hated for who she loves and for having to carry the weight of all your ill-judged opinions. You do not know either of these people enough to pass judgement. You are the cruel, heartless and disrespectful ones. Show some dignity. What, you think the guy should be with you? HA HA.

Boi, to say tameka's a gold digga is not in any of our place to say. If usher wasn't famous, who'd talk bout his life? I mean these days young guys tend 2 go 4 older lady n i dont hear ppl complainin! In fact if d lady has kids, ppl rate da man 4 being supportive n takin on a ready made family. In usher's case, cos he's famous n rich, evry1's on his case. If we had d opps to be around usher like tameka did, there's a possibility it could've been any of us, afta all, we're all humans. Who would complain?!!

When I first looked her up I was inclined to not like her as well because of everything everyone was saying, but now that I think about it it's not as if we know anything about her. I don't think people dislike her because she's dark skinned, I think it's because she looks her age and already has kids so everyone is like if a woman like that can get a guy like that why can't I? Tameka doesn't come off well with the stuff she says but you gotta think about what everyone else has been saying about her. I guess my point is we don't know her, and she might be old, but she's still getting hers so don't hate.

nooooo usherrr hwo could u marry tameka. She's so old and really desnt suit usher. Besides she already has 3 children, usher might like her children but as a stepfather he should have some responsibility for them too. This isnt even racially based ive no problem with the fact that she's black just that she already has children and she's really old. then again it is his choice who he marries and its really none of the public's or my buisness.

After reading all of the comments on this page, it was interesting to hear all of the different opinions about Usher and Tameka. I would like to say that I had my own negative thoughts about Tameka Foster because of the passed down information given by the Media. Remember ya'll a lot of it could be here-say. Think about it, do you really know what's going on in everyone's relationships. Hell sometimes we don't know what's going on in our own lives, even when we think we have it all figured out. Only they know what's what, and the best thing to do is not to judge but watch and see what plays out. And even then "We The People" aka fans or whatever you want to call yourselves, still will not know everything. For thoes who want to pray for their success do so, for those that want to hate keep hating (Usher & Tameka aren't loosing sleep...trust), and for those who don't really care well keep doing what you do. In the meantime Usher and Tameka Raymond their children, and his mama

Accept him whose faith is weak, without passing judgement on disputable matters, one mans faith allows him to eat everything, but another man whose faith is weak eats only vegetables. the man who eats everything must not look down on him who does not and the man who does not eat everything must not condemn the man who does, for God has accepted him. who are you to judge someone elses servant? to his own master he stands or falls and he will stand, for the Lord is able to make him stand.

I've seen and dated alot of bueatiful dark-skinned people in my life and this Tameka Foster is not one of them. She is not only UGLY she is out of shape to. I mean by some people standards in the real world she might be considered average. But this Usher's wife here we are talking about, I know most people would expect him to do allllottt better than her. What is wrong with you usher? It might be because he never expected this relationship to come to light then here comes baby.....

November 14th, 2007 12:51 AM
Her being dark-Skinned isn't the problem. She's just average, She's not a WOW! or a Head Turner to me and I think Usher could have find somebody else, who is more vilbrant, young, and attractive! For starters, she's 37yrs old with 3 kids. Usher is young, his mother probably just wanted the best for him, His first wife should be around his age wit no kids. He's basically a Step-father before he's a father. It's good that they have 7yrs of friendship, but 7yrs isn't long enough these days. She will get the desired, one day to take his dumb, gullible ass to court for child support. Best believe usher wants some young kitty kat, and then he will have a part 5 to CONFESSIONS. Tameka will soon be hitting menopause soon, shyt I'm surprised that she is knocked. Chill was coo. But she is old too. Usher needed a young Bride, and mama raymond just ain't having it! and she can see thru Mrs. Foster. Mama knows best! Usher has a BIG ASS HEAD, he's hard-headed, He's CAUGHT-UP, LOL. I wish him & h

First of all, Tameka is NOT ugly. Ya'll just saying that because she's a dark-skinned black woman who is not a half breed like Chilli. Why is it when a dark-skinned woman is there, ya'll call her ugly. She has a pretty face, and I notice that it's mostly black women who said this. Ya'll must have low self-esteem or something.

November 1st, 2007 1:03 PM
she is not ugly but it is just like she said in the essence article it is because she is dark skinned with kids is the reason why so many people hate her when god put someone in your life it is never who the public think it should be. if she were half breed or even hispanic, this would be ok come on black women if you are hating on her you need to look at yourself. because maybe you have insecurities, or you have 3 0r 4 kids and cant get a good man dont hate congraulate

To the comment that nobody called Tiger Wood's or Eddie Murphy's ex wives golddiggers; those women are beautiful women whom I'm sure had options. Tameka Foster(more than likely)had no options. She is by most standards a very ugly woman. I think it is Usher's mom's fault that he ended up in a situation like this by sheltering him from all the "beautiful" women because they're so-called after something. He is insecure and this lower standard woman makes him feel comfortable. He should have been assured by his mom that he is a sexy wonderful looking man and it's ok to have a sexy good lookin woman. The Tameka Fosters of the world are the very reason attractive women have to go out of their way to prove their undying love for a man, because he simply doesn't trust her and won't admit he's insecure and feels threatened. Also research has shown fraudelent,scamming, and coniving type people seldom give up those ways. I have to pray every day not to hate the "Tameka Fosters". I will also pray
