[Watch] Jessie J Rocks Dancing With The Stars



Yesterday I posted on US export, Taylor Swift, and her snoozefest of a showing at the X-Factor UK. (Remember that? I barely do, so don't beat yourself up if you don't.)

Today, in a reversal of sorts, I present a UK export- Ms.Jessie J- returning the favor and performing on US Show, Dancing With The Stars. Like yesterday, let me keep this post short and swift with a gif summation of this live medley of Bang Bang and Burnin' Up':

The Future Of Divas: Hatsune Miku



The future is here! Say hello to tomorrow's Diva, the computer generated Hatsune Miku.

Being billed as the world's first virtual pop star (The Gorillaz might have something to say about that), this anime-inspired monstrosity has already graced The Late Show stage with her holographic presence. And God help me, after a second listen, I'm actually getting into it....

[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!
