Early life

Usher Raymond  was born on October 14, 1978 in Dalls, Texas. His parents were Jonetta Patton (nee O'Neal, from Tennessee) and Isher Raymond III. He spent the majority of his young life in Chattanooga, Tennessee. His father left the family when was a year old. Usher grew up with his mother, then stepfather and half brother James Lackey (born 1984). Directed by his mother, Usher joined the local church yough choir in Chattanooga when he was nine years old. There his grandmother discovered his ability to sing, although it was not until Usher joined a singing group that she considered he could sign professionally. Believing that a bigger city would provide greater opportunities for showcasing his talent, Usher's family moved to Atlanta, Georgia, where there was a more conducive environment for beginning singers. While in Atlanta he attended North Springs High School.

Career

At age ten, Usher joined an R & B local quintet called the NuBeginnings which was organised by  local music promoter Darry Wheeler. Usher recorded ten songs with the group in 1991 and the ensuing album Nubeginning Featuring Usher Raymond IV was only made available regionally and by mail order. However, Patton took him out because to her it was a "bad experience". The album was re-released nationally in April 2002 by Hip O Records.

At age 13 Usher met A.J.Alexander at a local talent show in Atlanta. Alexander, who at the time was Bobby Brown's bodyguard would take Usher around and have him perform in parking lots and talent shows. Alexander invited Bryant Reid and A & R representative from La Face Recodrs to see Usher perform on the television talent show Star Search. Following the performance he arranged an audition for Usher with L.A.Raid, the co-founder of La Face, Reid signed Usher on the sopt to a contract with the record company after Usher sand Boyz II Men hit record "End of the Road". Usher mother left her job as a medical technician to manage his career. Usher was introduced to the public on "Call me a Mack", a song he recorded for the soundtrack album to the 1993 drama romance film Poetic Justice. During this time period the young Usher first met Chilli of TLC his label mate whom he would later date.

Preparing for his debut album, Usher lost his voice, Usher was going through puberty and had a difficult time adjusting his voice. LA Reid became skeptical of Usher and put his album on hold, he thought about dropping him from the label. Usher pleaded with the label to keep him and they did. From this point Reid didn't know what to do with Usher so he sent him to New York in the Spring of 1994 to live with record executive Puff Daddy to "attend" what Reid called "Favor Camp". Usher quickly adapted to the lavish lifestyle of Puff Daddy although in an interview with Rolling Stone, he described this period as the "hardest days" of his life. "I had to knuckle up, figure shit out in New York" he said.

On August 30, 1994 La Face released Usher's self titled debut album behind the co-executive production of Sean "P Diddy" Combs. Usher peaked at unmber twenty five on the Billboard Top R & B/ Hip-Hop Albums chart and was accompanied by three singles: "Can U Get wit it", "Think of You" and "The Many Ways" The album has sold over 500,000 copies to date. The album received backlash bacause Usher was singing was singing about sex and him only being 15 years old, the public had a difficult time believing that time was so. Again La Face had their reservations about signing Usher because the album was not as successful as they anticipated. At this time Usher's mother took control of his career and put him in more talent shows the summer of 1995 building Usher a larger fan base and ultimately giving L. A. Reid More confidence in Usher.

jawan movie

Jawan Movie

"Jawan" was produced by the star and his wife Gauri Khan's Red Chillies Entertainment production company, so it is not surprising to see how well worn and carefully navigated the movie's contrived plot and conventional mood swings tend to be. This is a Shah Rukh Khan vehicle, and by now that conjures certain formulaic expectations. Still, the makers of  "Jawan" spend a little to much trying to convince viewers that we do not really know Khan's mysterious antihero, who after an overproduced but still rousing flashback action sequence, takes a train-ful of commuters hostage.

Khan's character soon revealed to be Azad, the warden of a women's prison, seemingly executes a woman in a burqa, all while wearing a goofy bald cap, which he soon rips foo. Khan, in character, rasps out his expectations flouting demands to the generically incensed negotiator Narmade (Nayanthara): get the Agriculture Minister to pay off starving farmer's extortionate loans, or more people will die.

"Jawan" careens from onetwist to the next fast enough that it almost doesn't matter how familiar and ultimately staid its story and set pieces often are. A few plot twists are also easy enough to anticipate. Azad romances Narmada and charms her impressionable ten-year-old daughter Suji (Seeza Saroj Mehta). He denounces various government officials and combats their corruption with a handful of bloody, media-amplified demonstrations. Azad speaks for the common people but behaves erratically, performing a little soft-shufflt dance surrounded by terrified commuters. He proudly and laboriously explains that he is actually a good guy fighting the real enemy: public servants who do not serve the republic.

There is an involed and agreeably goofy subplot that ties Narmada and Azad's story with the movie's opening scene, set 30 years prior in an unnamed village that may or may not be Tiben (some where near "India's border", terrorized by Asian soildiers in white star studded green caps). If you have seen Shah Rukh Khan movies before, you would not be especially surprised at how these two subplots tie together, though you may be delighted anyway. It is a major plot twist that predictably takes over the back half of the plot and re-orients Azad's plot so that viewers know that this time, unlike all the other times, it is personal.

This time there is a nefarious weapons dealer, Kalee (Vijay Stthupathi), who is as malicious as he is violent. There is also a surprise cameo from a big Bollywood star, whose presence is not really a spoiler if you pay attention during the opening credits. And be on the lookout for a duet dance number led by Khan and Deepika Padukone, who have great chemistry possibly because they know that by now they do not have to really compete for viewers' affection. Oh, and a couple of the fight scenes are maximalist show stoppers despite being over edited and under directed. Loud and rote, sure but never boring.

The main reason "Jawan" doesn't deliver more than what Khan has previously delivered it because its creators seemingly included every masala style subplot they could think of. Still, "Jawan" is unlike Jhan's last two comeback trail stops because its creators are better at navigating its many hairpin twists and turns. Kudos to director Atlee, a formet assistant director whose credits include the Rajinikant vehicle "Enthiran" and tis sequel and his creative team.

Most importantly in "Jawan" Khan looks more relaxed than in years past, toggling leisurely through his repertoire of tics and poses. He looks especially comfortable in undemanding musical numbers and he still gives great Blue Steel looks every time he turns on a slow-mo heel to pout at viewers' and or co-stars. Shah Rukh Khan is still a star, baby and "Jawan" uses his about as well as his fans might hope.

Khan even looks good delivering a corny but impassioned speech later in the movies. As Azad, Khan reminds us that he is just like you and me the apatheirc public who despite our best intentions have not always exercise good judgment when voting for government officials. There is general election in India next year and while the makers of "Jawan" could have otherwise taken bigger risks, their efforts are appreciated.
