Behind the scenes at Radio 1's Big Weekend
By Rav Singh
USHER might be a superstar but he also loves being a No1 dad.
The R'n'B singer wowed the crowds yesterday at Radio 1's Big Weekend festival in Kent, where I was backstage to bring you all the goss.
He told me that he's smitten by his six-month-old boy USHER RAYMOND V.
Usher said: "That was special but it's nothing compared to how I feel about my boy. I save my greatest performances for him."
I can also reveal he'll announce an exclusive London gig soon. See www.usherworld.com.
DUFFY STUNS CROWDS
RISING star DUFFY goes from strength to strength.
The Welsh songbird mesmerised a select audience with a spell-binding acoustic set in the guest tent.
As well as belting out her chart-topper Mercy, she performed a stunning version of Borderline by Madonna, who was also due to perform at the festival.
Duffy told me: "Madonna's my idol. I'm so nervous being in her company today."

I wasn´t lucky enough to see the radio 1 show in person so watched on TV.
MADONNA:
The new album is great. Someone please tell her that Pete Townsend, Hendrix etc. are the guitar heroes, one of the above WAS a guitar heroin...sure (god bless JH) but Madge you AINT...so please put the axe down. The show was great apart from when she begins to play Guitar hero. We know you have talent girl but its not playin six string.
