The night after the Chicago show, the Scream Tour hits Cleveland. It's another night of work: dancers steam-cleaning their clothes, meet-and-greets with radio contest winners, and so on. A notable difference, though, is the prescene of Usher Raymond IV, who shows up for his proteges One Chance, the first act signed to his Us Records label. "I wanted to...show my support for the young crooners," says Raymond. "They did a really good job. Everybody's on a path of growing up." He watches the show from the arena floor, surrounded by staff in the soundboard booth. But girls still scream for Usher. When a hopeful spectator taps a photographer to ask, "Can you help me talk to Usher?" and is told no, she breaks into sobs. But Usher's already made at least a few dreams come true. The previous night, in their hometown, the twenty-somethings of One Chance wandered out into the stands of Allstate Arena, much to the chagrin of their security team. One Chance was hardly fazed. "We remember where we came from," said OC's Rob Brent, gesturing toward the girls getting autographs by the concession stands. "That used to be us."
