[Watch] Christina Aguilera Sings "Beautiful " For Science!



Some of you must be craving a bit of Christina Aguilera! Well, let me quench your parched plains with this live performance of Beautiful, recorded at The 2015 Breakthrough Prizes. What's that, you ask? Here's the gist, pinched from the BBC website:

Guess Which Diva Is Hiding Beneath Flaming Lips Frontman's Cape


There is no way in the world you will get this if you aren't aware that this Diva recorded with the The Flaming Lips for their album of Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band covers.

Still, it'll be fun (and pointless) for you to take a wild stab in the dark and see if your powers of deduction can help you guess which Diva's style/sound may mesh with the band's own. I'll give you a hint, it isn't Aretha Franklin.

Taylor Swift Clarifies Why She Ain't Got No Time 4 Spotify




Taylor Swift pulled her entire catalouge off of Spotify earlier in the week, did any of you see that? I wouldn't have thought anything of it, but Spotify's thirsty response- and appended playlist entitled "Poetry for Taylor Swift"- suddenly made the whole thing a little more interesting to me.

Ariana Grande Takes Wrong Turning At Albuquerque, Ends Up @ 2014 CMAs



Did Ariana Grande take notice of Taylor Swift's gargantuan - by comparison to everyone else in 2014- first week sales ? That's the only reason I can think of as to why she popped up at the 2014 Country Music Awards to duet with Little Big Town. Someone's eyeing up that that Country cash!

Miranda Lambert & Meghan Trainor Tell 2014 CMA's "All About That Bass"



So clearly the 2014 CMA's were going for crossover appeal with the inclusion of some oddly shoehorned in pop pairings on the night.

If the Ariana Grande pairing with Little Big Town wasn't enough of a mind trip for you, take a gander of Miranda Lambert and Meghan Trainor teaming up on the shady "empowerment" anthem, All About That Bass.

FKA Twigs Gifts Magical Performance of "Two Weeks" To The Tonight Show



The more live performances I watch of this Diva, the more I fall in love with her. And the rendition of Two Weeks she brought to The Tonight Show did nothing to buck this trend.

With two pieces of cloth and a rabble of fans (of the wind generating kind), FKA Twigs gave a simple but effective show that had my eyes glued to the screen from the get go. I'd like to imagine that the two wafting pieces of material were the physical representation of the sexually charged lyrics, but who knows, I may be reading too much into it. Either way, mien ears and eyes thoroughly enjoyed it.

[Forbes' Rich List 2014] Diva's Making Money!



This post is about something which is of no real concern to us plebs. Like really, what does it matter that these divas have gotten even more filthy rich over the period June 2013 to June 2014? Still, human nature is such that we are all as nosy as a Proboscis monkey/anteater cross, so let me just go right on ahead and post Forbes' tally of top earning female musicians.

For those wondering how they calculated the figures for said list, check out their site [here]. Even so, I'd take these figures with a pinch of these-don't-affect-my-life-in-any-way-so-who-really-cares. Though, if any of you lovely Divas are reading this, how bout buying me a diamond necklace. You clearly can afford it and I obviously deserve it....

[Free For All Friday]



Happy Halloween, everyone!! I've got my costume ready- I'm going to be a skeleton- and have a test round of vodka jelly shots cooling in the fridge- watch them not set! Bring it on! So those are my plans- what are yours?

*I should add, I'm not sitting alone at home in a skeleton costume, drinking unset shots! Sad as my life is, I do actually have a party to attend!*

If you don't know the score, here be the rules:
  • Try not to get too perverted- this site needs to basically be "safe for work".
  • If somebody starts a controversial subject, try keeping it civil when dealing with it. If things get out of hand please flag the conversation.
  • It would be nice if it stuck to music, but it's not a requirement! So talk about news, current events, how you're getting your hair done next time you hit the hairdresser! Whateves, really!
  • No nasty comments aimed at other users.
Inappropriate hugs to all of y'all (hi-fives to the underagers), and wishing you an awesome weekend!

Kiesza & Jessie Ware Rock American Early Morning Television



Not together, of course! Separately, these Divas brought their undeniable talents to the television sets of our American cousins, waking them from their slumber with musical goodness. Let's see what we missed out on.

[Mash-Up] Taylor Swift & Beyonce - "XO" / "Out Of the Woods"



So it looks like Taylor is going to break the one million mark with the first week sales of latest album 1989. If she does, it will make it the third time in a row the Diva has accomplished this mammoth feat, bucking the trend -and perhaps breaking the curse- of no album, released this year, hitting platinum status in the States.
