Today, Usher's divorce from Tameka Raymond is final.

The pop superstar and Foster were married for two years and have two children.

On one hand, I want to scoff at another celeb marriage biting the dust. From the outside looking in, you can't help but wonder how seriously the marriage was taken in the first place.

I mean, if your spouse is so intolerable that you can't endure being married to them for longer than two years...maybe you should have waited before having two children.

Yes, I know it's not so simple. I don't know why Usher filed to end the union. According to an AP report, Usher claimed the marriage was "irretrievably broken" and any hope of "reconciliation" was not likely.

Celebs aren't the only ones contributing to our nation's high divorce rate.

I am annoyed though by Usher's new song "Papers" that takes a call and response approach to discussing breakups. In the song written by Sean Garrett, Usher lists several problems in his marriage.

He talks about almost ruining his relationship with his mother, loosing himself, and being tired of sleeping in the other room. Honestly, most artists sing about personal experiences. It's basically what Usher did with his 10 million plus selling "Confessions" album, but this just feels way too opportunistic for me.

I mean, did it really need a chant urging fellow unhappily married people to sing along?

"All my fellas up in here if you've had enough and you're ready to sign say, ‘Ready, ready, ready'."

"All my ladies if you're sick and tired and you're ready to sign say, ‘Ready, ready, ready'."

I can't take the song seriously.

I hope his kids, Usher Raymond V and Naviyd Ely, are okay.
