Showtime Concert...Usher Not Prince?

Correct me if I'm wrong but wasn't there speculation that Prince was planning a Showtime concert very similar to the following?...I believe he was even quoted in one of the publications about HBO wanting too much control but Showtime being more flexible...again, please correct me if I'm wrong.

Usher to Perform a Live Concert in March
Usher Will Perform a Live Concert on Showtime March 5 Called 'One Night, One Star: Usher Live'
The Associated Press
Jan. 7, 2005 - It's time to Usher in the new year.

After a very good 2004 for the R&B singer, Usher will perform a live concert on Showtime March 5. The show, "One Night, One Star: Usher Live," will be a 90 min. live broadcast from San Juan, Puerto Rico.

"Usher is, without question, the biggest thing in the music business right now, and we're thrilled he wanted to do his live concert with us," said Robert Greenblatt, the cable network's president of entertainment, in a statement released Friday.

Usher's "Confessions," featuring hits "Yeah!" and "Burn," was the best selling album of 2004, moving 7.9 million copies. His tour raked in $29.1 million in North America, and he's currently nominated for eight Grammys, including album of the year.

The concert will air Saturday, March 5 at 9 p.m. (ET/PT) live on the east coast, tape delayed on the west coast.

Showtime, a premium cable network, is offering a free preview nationwide March 4-7.

At least the guy was smart enough to avoid saying the best thing in the music business.

To be honest. Usher is a fucking great dancer and puts on a reasonable show.....in otherwords, this news is better then a Cher show or if this was a year or so ago, a Britney Spears show.
