Finally we get to see our first official glimps of Madonna’s MDNA tour DVD which will be aired on Epix later next month! Today. Entertainment Tonight previewed a little over a minute of M’s “Give Me All Your Luvin’” performance which is lifted straight from the DVD. I think it goes without saying that I am uber-excited for this release! Check it out…
Tonight American Idol saw a star-studded finale full of massive celebrity performances! Everyone from this year’s mega-star judge Mariah Carey, to past Idol contestant Jennifer Hudson, to last year’s judge Jennifer Lopez lit up the stage… Oh and Candice Glover won. (Which I’m happy about though I was really rooting for Angie Miller or Amber Holcomb) But her, Candice was just as amazing and I’m glad she beat Kree!
(Sorry all you Kree fans but I just don’t want another country/rock Idol)
PS… THE COMMENT SECTION IS WORKING AGAIN! Comment away…

So the song we’ve all been waiting to hear in full from Beyonce’s Pepsi commercial, “Grown Woman“, can finally be heard in all of it’s glory thanks to this fan-footage that someone recorded at Bey’s Mrs. Carter Tour. Though it isn’t the best audio recording, it’s good enough to get a gist of what we should expect. I actually like what I’m hearing so far… Is it amazing? No. Is it debut single worthy? Not really. Is it better than that mess of a “song” “Bow Down” that she worried teased us with? HELL TO THE MUTHA FUCKIN’ YES!! So if Beyonce’s strategy by leaking “Bow Down” first was to disappoint us so badly that when she released anything mediocre level and up afterwards, we would instantly love it out of relief that it wasn’t garbage… Mission accomplished! Take a listen and and POST COMMENTS HERE to tell me what you think of “Grown Woman“…
Jennifer Hudson gave a moving performance of “America The Beautiful” with the Sandy Hooks Elementary School choir…
Alicia Keys brought her piano on the field with her and sang the hell out of the National Anthem…
Beyonce made quite the entrance for the half-time show but the Destiny’s Child reunion stole the show…
But let’s face it, Madonna’s iconic half-time show last year was better. Beyonce just doesn’t have as many strong “classics” under her belt to top Madonna’s…
Ravens won…
When it came down to the entertainment for President Obama’s second inauguration, the White House took no chances in making sure our prez was represent by the best of the best vocalists in the business! Kelly Clarkson & Beyonce both were called upon to sing their rendition of “My Country Tis Of Thee” (Clarkson) and “The National Anthem” (Beyonce).
Both women did an outstanding job! Take a peep below…
Carmen Electra took her Luciana-esque comeback single “I Like It Loud” to the Wendy Williams show this week and with the help of two trannylicious back-up dancers, she gave the audience a pretty energetic and impressive live performance of the song! Take a look…
Mariah Carey stopped by Jimmy Fallon’s late-night talk show last night and gave one of the most random and fun performances you’ll ever see from the songbird. Backstage before the show, Jimmy, Mariah Carey, and The Roots grabbed some music instruments that would find in an elementary school classroom and performed Mariah’s holiday classic, “All I Want For Christmas Is You” with a cute gang of elementary schoolers as he backup singers. Mariah nailed the song and while a few times she skipped the opportunity to hit some of the tune’s higher notes, in the end she went for and slayed the high registered grand finale! Check it out…
As most of you may already know, Rihanna’s current #1 hit “Diamonds” was written by the amazingly talented Sia. As much as I love Rihanna’s version of the song, I have been hoping and praying for a Sia demo version to surface because the song sounds like it was crafted for Sia’s own voice. While the studio demo has yet to surface (as far as I’m aware of) we did recently get the next best thing – Sia performing a flawless live rendition of the track! So what are you waiting for? Take a listen to Sia’s take on “Diamonds“…
Christina Aguilera joined forces with her fellow judge/mentor from The Voice, Cee-Lo Green, to perform her song “Make The World Move” off of her Lotus album to celebrate its release today! Both the performance as well as the new album are amazing and a lot of fun! If you haven’t picked up a copy, I highly recommend you do so ASAP! In the meantime, check out the …
Why Madonna… WHHHHYYY?! Miss MDNA has jumped on the obnoxious fad-wagon known as PSY and allowed the Korean “singer” to perform “Gangnam Style” on her tour stop in New York. Originally, Madge invited Lady Gaga (totally serious) to join her in Madison Square Garden to perform with her (most likely the “Express Yourself/Born This Way” mashup) but Gaga couldn’t make it happen because of commitments to her own tour. So I guess in Madonna’s eyes – PSY is a suitable substitute. While I can’t stand this song – I will say the “Give It To Me” mashup was pretty awesome…. I just wish she sang more of her own song and did less of the pony-dancing.
Mariah oh Mariah… Can I call you Mimi? Ok… Mimi, it’s bad enough that your new single “Triumphant (Get ‘Em)” isn’t charting weeks after its release, but today you’ve decided to perform the hip-hop version (that you’re barely singing on) on your high-profile debut live performance of the song at tonight’s NFL Kickoff. What will get it through your head that nobody likes the original version of the song?! I know that you think performing at this sporting event will give this single some much needed exposure for it to finally sell enough copies to chart, and it probably will… But I just don’t see you pulling off a Madonna/Super Bowl moment here with this version of your single. (It’s that bad)
Besides, the performance as a whole wasn’t that great. The first half of your performance was you delivering pre-recorded backup ‘whispering’ on a video monitor while two dudes took center stage rapping. And the whole “fashionably late” concept… Sorry but I’m not sure if the whole “diva” persona is going to work in your favor right now.
My advice to you Mimi is to just give up on this single real fast and release something else pronto! Preferably something without any rap cameos. ESPECIALLY NOT PITBULL OR NICKI MINAJ… Although now that I think of it, doing a song with Nicki might be benifitial if the American Idol rumors are true. And release something FUN! (Or an AHHHMAZING ballad.) But please… PLEASE… Drop this song like you dropped Tommy Mottola!
Ugh!!! I’m done ranting about all this. You’ll never hear me complain about this song again, promise! Just get back into the studio and come back with some better material. We’re counting on you Mimi!
Princess of pop Rihanna surprised a packed audience in France when she took to the stage with Coldplay on their current tour to perform 2 songs with the band! Obviously one of the numbers she performed was her duet with Coldplay, “Princess of China” but she also treated fans to an acoustic version of her smash hit “Umbrella” with Chris Martin accompanying her on piano! Of the two performances RiRi sounded a bit shaky on “Princess…” but not surprisingly, she really soared on her own single “Umberalla“. Check out both of the special performances below….
While the general consensus on Christina Aguilera is that people view her as a scathing, diva, BITCH… Every now and then she will totally do something to throw a wrench in all the haters’ accusations and negative opinions about the type of person she is. For example, this week the “Not Myself Tonight” singer proved she has a very big heart when she decided to reach out with words of support to Harper Gruzins, an 11 year old singer who performed the National Anthem at FC Dallas soccer game and… Well… Didn’t do the best job that day.
Ever since the rocky performance, the Youtube video of the poor girls Nation Anthem rendition has gone viral and she has become the target of the public’s harsh and degrading remarks. Granted, she didn’t do well singing the song but she’s only 11 and we all know how mean people can be on the Internet when they get ahold of someone’s failure and start passing it around on social networks for everyone to comment on. Anyhow when vocal power-house DIVA, Christina Aguilera, caught wind of the situation and saw all the negativity people were berating the poor 11 year old aspiring singer with, she decided to take matters into her own hands and sending little Harper a personal note of support. Here’s what Christina wrote…
“Harper, you had the courage to sing in front of thousands of people and I applaud you. Keep your head up high and keep trying. You have nothing to be ashamed of.”
You go, Xtina!”
WOW! I applaud Christina for her very big hearted gesture! Now if only she could be this kind to all of her celebrity peers, she might be able to shake her divalicious rep!
Lastnight the world witnessed a heavenly sight when the stars aligned just so, to manifest a rare and awe-inspiring spectacle – THE REUNION OF THE SPICE GIRLS! That’s right… The most successful girl-group of all time re-assembled themselves just one last time yesterday to bring their “girl-power” anthems to the closing ceremonies at the Olympics! In case you missed this divine celestial occasion, here is the video for your viewing pleasure! Watch it while you can because these video’s are coming down fast…
Check out Wynter Gordon flawlessly covering one of my favorite songs from the 90′s – Natalie Imbuglia’s “Torn“! Many of us know Gordon as a dance artist but with her latest EP, The Human Condition, and this amazing live performance for Billboard Candid Covers, she’s proving that she has the chops and versatility to be taken seriously as a well rounded artist and not just a “disco diva”!
