[Watch] Taylor Swift "Shakes It Off" @ X-Factor UK


Taylor Swift's latest hit, Shake It Off, still hasn't made any impression on me- which is strange.

Usually this Diva's music grows on me over time, but this, her most unabashedly pop-infused, is still doing nada for me. I wonder if that means I won't be enjoying her next album. Well, that's something to worry about later, for now, let's concern ourselves with the present: her performance on the X-Factor UK.

[Currently Listening To]


What are you guys currently listening to? You know, what's that ONE track that is, at this very moment, being digitally worn out by your repeated indulgence?

Me, I've been listening to an oldie: Björk's Oceania. Taken from the Diva's revolutionary album, Medulla, this single boasted magical vocals and a sparse, pulsing production. However, it was the track's lyrics that really caught a hold of my imagination, as Bjork provided a maternal voice to the world's oceans.

[Review] Marina And The Diamonds - "Froot"



Marina and the Diamonds is gearing up for her return to music, and the follow-up to 2012's Electra Heart, with new single Froot.

[Miracles Can Happen] Katy Perry Booked For Super Bowl Halftime show



Looks like someone has found Aladdin's lamp- quite possibly Katy Perry herself. Why, you ask? Because it's been announced that the Diva has been booked to play one of the biggest gigs on American television: The 2015 Super Bowl halftime show!!

[Watch] Beyonce And Nicki Minaj Remain "Flawless" During HBO Special


HBO love themselves some Beyonce. Their latest joint venture with the Diva was the shooting and screening of her (and Mr. Beyonce's) record breaking On The Run Tour.

[Music Video] Mary J. Blige - "Right Now"



For some reason, I was expecting the output from Mary J. Blige's The London Sessions to be more...acoustic in nature. There's no rational reason for me having come to this conclusion, other than the album cover, but you'd think by single number three I'd have managed to dissuade myself from this falsehood.

[Music Video] Jessie J - "Burnin' Up"



Jessie J continues the push for her soon-to-be-released third album, Sweet Talker, with single number two, and Bang Bang's follow-up, Burnin' Up.

[New Music] Aretha Franklin Covers Gloria Gaynor And Destiny's Child


Are you guys ready for another slice from the pie that is Aretha Franklin Sings The Great Diva Classics? Well too bad! You're getting another poorly produced, and questionably sung, piece, whether you want it or not. Open wide!

Mariah Carey Covers Billie Holiday's "Don't Explain", Hints At Nick Cannon's Infidelity



Mariah Carey's on tour!

It only started a few days ago, but already Mariah is apparently spilling the Tea on her marriage. Covering Billie Holiday's Don't Explain in Japan, the Diva slipped in the line: "I know you cheated m**herf**er". It was done in such a way that I'm not sure if anyone in the audience even caught the dig.

Now I know that line isn't from the original Billie Holiday arrangement, so was Mariah taking a jab at her estranged husband, Nick Cannon? He has denied infidelity previously, thus it could be within the realms of possibility that the Diva was having a little fun with the song. However, that seems unlikely to me.

On a side note, some have emailed to ask why I haven't dragged Mariah for the vocals demonstrated thus far on the tour? The simple reason is, I'm not going to kick someone when they're already down.
