  • The one thing that I love about Solange Knowles is that she definitely knows how to promote her material. No matter how big or small the stage is, you can always count on Solange to give her all during her performances.

    Solange took to Glastonbury 2013 tonight to offer a performance of her track "Losing You" from her TRUE EP. Solange definitely rocked the crowd to the point where one of her breast popped out.

    Solo isn't the first of the Knowles clan to rock the stage at Glastonbury. Beyonce did a full set during Glastonbury 2011 while pregnant with daughter Blue Ivy.

    Check out Solange's performance above.





  • Kelly Rowland took to the stage on Good Morning America this morning in support of her new album. Kelly performed the track "Street Life" with rapper Pusha T during her live set. As expected, Kelly came thru vocally during the performance.

    Be sure to catch Kelly on Watch What Happens Live and Katie in the next week promoting the album.

    Did you buy Talk A Good Game?





  • Riding high off the success of his BillBoard Hot 100 number one single, singer Robin Thicke released the cover for his new album "Blurred Lines" over the weekend. The album will be released on July 30th featuring collaborations with Kendrick Lamar, T.I., and Pharrell.

    Check out the tracklisting below. 

    1. Blurred Lines ft. T.I., Pharrell
    2. Take It Easy On Me
    3. Ooo La La
    4. Ain't No Hat For That
    5. Get In My Way 
    6. Give It 2 U ft. Kendrick Lamar 
    7. Feel Good
    8. Go Stupid 4 U
    9. For The Rest Of My Life
    10. Top Of The World
    11. The Good Life

    I'm anxious to hear what the rest of Robin's sixth studio album will sound like since I am in love with the title track.

    Watch Robin & Pharrell perform "Blurred Lines" on Jimmy Kimmel below. 


  • Usher took to The Voice last night to attempt to snatch Robin Thicke's wig with a performance "Twisted". The performance was cute but I feel like the only reason Usher is trying to promote the track is because of the success of Robin Thicke's "Blurred Lines" which sounds very similar. Both are produced by Pharrell.

    The track is featured on Usher's latest album Looking For Myself which was released last year.

    Good performance tho.



  • "Don't it always seem to go that you don't know what you got til it's gone," sings Kelly.

    Kelly Rowland took to Late Night with Jimmy Fallon last night to perform her new track "Gone" from her new album Talk A Good Game. Kelly was joined by rapper Wiz Khalifa for the performance of the track which he is featured on.

    "Roll me up a jump as you wake up, when I put it down mess up your make up," raps Wiz.

    The track samples Joni Mitchells "Big Yellow Taxi" which was most notably sampled by Janet Jackson.

    Great performance. Talk A Good Game hits stores next Tuesday.



  • Rapper Azealia Banks took to NYC over the weekend to perform at the Governor's Ball. Azealia wore next to nothing during the performance before a very hyped crowd.

    Azealia is currently gearing up for the release of her new Pharell assisted single "ATM Jam" which will serve as the official second single from her debut album Broke with Expensive Taste.

    I was a huge Azealia Banks before her immaturity got the best of her. There is no denying that she is a great performer so hopefully she can win me over.

    What do you think of Azealia?



  • Singer/Songwriter The-Dream took to the Jimmy Fallon show over the weekend to promote his new album "IV Play". The Dream, whose real name is Terius Nash, was accompanied by musician Gary Clark and The Roots during his performance.

    Dream's new album tanked horribly even though it included collaborations with some of the industry's finest.

    I really like this track tho. Kelly Rowland, whose new single was penned by The Dream, will take the stage tonight to perform on Jimmy Fallon.

    Did you purchase his new album? 

  • Singer Robin Thicke has been showing out during this Blurred Lines era. Robin took his new single to the UK this week with a performance on the Graham Norton Show with Pharell. I will admit that Robin sounded great during the performance and the crowd definitely loved this track.

    I really hope that the rest of Robin's new album is as good as this single. Yesterday was my first time listening to the track and I instantly fell in love. 

    Is it me or would this make a good song for a Target commercial? 

    Robin Thicke's new album Blurred Lines hits stores on July 8th.




  • Beyonce offered her fans a teaser of her new tour as if they haven't already been on YouTube getting their life. Beyonce filmed the clips of the 'Mrs.Carter World Tour' overseas where the tour kicked off last week.

    Why does she feel the need to still promote this tour if all of the shows are sold out? Save those coins sis.

    On another note, I'm glad that I didn't purchase tickets to this concert being that she isn't performing any new songs yet. Maybe she will add new material when she gets to the States but for the most part the tour will still be recycled.



  • Iggy Azalea offered a live performance of her single 'Work' during her Vevo Life UK live series. Iggy gave me everything that I needed with the performance that was backed by a live orchestra. The track was instantly one of my favorites and I'm sure it will be a hit Summer anthem.

    She's so pretty. I'm slowly but surely starting to believe in Iggy's career as a rap artist. I will admit that I was a bit skeptical at first and considered it a gimmick.

    Thoughts?



  • Solange Knowles made a surprise guest appearance during The XX's performance at Coachella over weekend. Solange teamed up with the group to perform her track 'Locked in Closets' from her True EP in addition to a cover of Aaliyah's 'Hot Like Fire' track.

    While it wasn't her best vocal performance, I was excited to see Solange on the stage at the festival. Hopefully next year she can headline her own set for the many concert goers that come out to party and have a good time.

  • Miguel shows no signs of slowing down with the promo for his latest album. Miguel took to NBC's Saturday Night Live to perform his tracks 'Adorn' and 'How Many Drinks' which both appear on Kaleidoscope Dreams.

    Chills. Miguel gave me everything that I needed vocally from any live performance. Did I mention how incredible his band sounds?

    There is no denying that Miguel is the modern day Prince. Kudos!

     


  • Reality star Tamar Braxton is having a unexpected week I'm sure. The singer released her new single 'Love & War' yesterday which quickly shot up to #2 on the main iTunes chart. Tamar performed the track last night on the season finale of the Tamar & Vince show. The performance was great but I am still curious as to whether parts of it were lip-synced.

    Tamar is gearing up for the release of her new album next year in addition to the many other business ventures that she is currently involved in.


    Will you be buying Tamar's new album?

  • Late night television host Jimmy Fallon kept things creative once more last night during his performance with singer Mariah Carey. The two performed Mariah's hit Christmas track 'All I Want For Christmas' backed by The Roots who used classroom instruments to perform the track. Mariah sounded okay for the most part.

    Mariah will be starting the year off with a new album and a new judging spot on FOX's American Idol.


    Will you be watching Mariah on Idol?

  • Rihanna looked and sounded decent during her performance last night on the Victoria Secrets Fashion Show. The singer rocked her grandmother's lingerie during her performance of 'Diamonds' and 'Phresh Off The Runway' on the most popular fashion show.

    Rihanna obviously invested in a vocal coach because her live performances have definitely been on point this era.

  • "He's fiooone." - in my Kenya Moore's voice. Singer Ryan Leslie took the time to respond to the lawsuit verdict against him ordering him to pay $1 million dollars to the person that found his missing laptop. Ryan lost his computer in Germany back in 2010 and offered the reward for anyone that found it so that he could recover his music. After failing to pay the money once the computer was recovered, the guy who found the computer filed a lawsuit in the U.S. in which he won this past week.

    "Everyone thought that I was just a cheapskate or something like that. A jury of my peers - eight people - they looked me in my face and told me I had to pay this man one million dollars for music I never got back," explains Ryan.

    Ch. You promised to give the money to anyone that found your computer which is why I have no sympathy for him in this situation. The man found your computer and regardless of the condition that it is in he should still be held responsible for having to pay this guy.


    What are your thoughts?

  • Alicia Keys redeemed herself with me during her performance of her current single 'Girl On Fire' on X-Factor. The singer ditched the straining in the performance which was definitely hot for more controlled vocals. Is it too late for Keys to redeem herself after repeat offenses of failed performances?

    After listening to the album a few more times I will admit that I like it a little better.

  • I finally got a chance to check out singer Vina Mills new material. Vina took the stage a week ago at BEMagazine's No Wire Hangers fashion show to perform her current single 'Love Em Good.' Vina always serves us an ole nasty club banger and this one is no exception. I'm sure it is only a matter of time before this chick is signed.

    The thing that I adore about Vina is that not only is she a singer but she is also a performer.
     

    Vina also performed at the Black Party in Atlanta. Check out both performances below.

     


    Check out the pictures from the video set of her new video below.







  • Ch, no ma'am. Future tagged Kelly Rowland last night for the duo's first live performance of his current single 'Neva End' from his new album Pluto 3D on Jimmy Kimmel Live. The background track was absolutely horrendous and Future sounded a mess. Kelly looked good and sounded okay for the most part.

    This is honestly one of those songs that you rock out to in the club and car.

  • There was so much on television last night that I had to flip between channels constantly to make sure that I could catch it all. The 2012 Soul Train Awards aired last on Centric and I must say that I was impressed. The production of the show which was taped in Las Vegas was very good - take notes BET Awards.

    Singers Keyshia Cole and Fantasia were amongst the many performers that graced the stage last night. Why are we still letting Stevie Wonder perform those tired songs still? Also, why does it look and sound like Bobbi Brown swallowed the Lil Debbie delivery truck? Ch.


    Were you entertained this year?
