[Watch] Mariah Carey Sleighs With Hallmark "Merriest Christmas" Special

Mariah Carey is clearly working on restoring that voice. Praise Saint Cecilia!

Not only has she been showing it off live at her concerts at the Beacon Theatre this month, but she also had it out in force during the taping of her Hallmark special, Merriest Christmas.

Monica Promotes "Code Red" With Medley @ Wendy Williams Show

Monica's Code Red is out! I'll be picking it up and finally making good on my promise of updating her dilapidated profile. So if any of you have anything to say about her voice, leave it in the comments here, and I'll see if I can work it in.

Promoting her eighth album on The Wendy Williams Show, the Diva performed a medley ofhits. (Doth two songs maketh a "medley...?) To those wondering which is from the new LP, it was the second song, Just Right for Me. The first was of course her breakout track, Don't Take It Personal (Just One of Dem Days), which was released TWENTY years ago!! ARK!>!!PGOHKDD  #Dead

Honestly, this wasn't the best of showings from Monica, with the voice sounding kind of drier than usual and (here comes everyone's favourite word(!)) pitchy. We know the Diva can sing, so I'm not bothered.

[Review] Ariana Grande Drops The Christmas EP I Never Knew I Wanted With "Christmas & Chill"

Ariana Grande clearly is a fan of the holiday season. She already gave us her obligatory, Diva festive release in 2013's Christmas Kisses. Yet, that didn't stop her dropping another Yuletide treat last year with single Santa Tell Me. Perhaps trying to cement an association with herself and the holidays in our feeble minds, 2015 sees the Diva persist with the tradition and unwrap her new EP, Christmas And Chill.

Since it's a mini album, I'll be giving it a mini review. Take a read of my thoughts on each track, below.

Jessie J Vs Christina Aguilera: Which is the Queen Of The Vocal Run?

Click on either to go to their vocal profile!

Melisma can be an impressive and beautiful touch to a vocal line, when used with musicality and intelligence. It can of course be a force for evil too, destroying lives and homes when used excessively. The problem is, what is considered too much to some can be not enough for others. This is the power of subjective taste.

Rita Ora And Louisa Johnson Tackle The Mighty "And I Am Telling You" @ X-Factor Semi-final

Rita Ora brought the goods when the time came to duet with her mentee, Louisa Johnson on the X-Factor semi-finals last weekend. Singing the done-to-death, singing contest staple, And I Am Telling You I'm Not Going, the pair used the belt-heavy show tune to peacock their respective instruments for the voting public.

I think for those only tangibly aware of Rita's singing career, the performance may actually give cause to think twice when judging her potential. Ultimately, it's not the best showing of the Dreamgirls' torch song, but Rita's elastic delivery and multiple F5s are worth checking out. They might come as a surprise to those of you who instinctively think of the "I don't know her" Gif whenever the Diva's name comes up.
