Usher’s pre-taped, edited performance for tonight’s Dancing with the Stars finale may look seamless, but what happened behind the scenes at the singer’s May 13 taping left host Tom Bergeron and company scratching their heads–and scrambling to set up for the live show.
First, the 29-year-old singer arrived 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 further off-course when the singer took a long break to get a drink. “He was ridiculous,” a source tells PEOPLE. “Such a diva.” [ source via Love B.Scott ]
That “source” better be careful what he/she says before Tameka has to march down to ABC studios and Hulk-Smash a bitch! You all know he wears the big drawers!
Honestly, who would be shocked to hear that Usher was a diva during a show? He’s Usher! If they had reported that he didn’t eat the cake when Tameka told him to, then I might have raised an eyebrow.
