[Not Again Beyonce!] "Deju Vu" Demo Leaks



The demo for Beyonce's Deju Vu has leaked! And guess what, it's pretty much identical, melodically and lyrically, to the version recorded for the Diva's second solo album, B'day.

This leaked version features Makeba Riddick on vocals- she also had a hand in writing the track- and was brought to Bey's attention by her father, Matthew Knowles. Makeba expanded further on this life changing moment in an interview with Hellobeautiful.com, where she reminisced fondly about working with the singer:

[Watch] Ariana Grande Imitates Celine Dion On The Tonight Show


The title says it all, really!

This little moment took place on the Tonight Show, and marked Ariana Grande's FIRST ever talk show interview. Isn't that crazy? Surely that can't be right, but I'm not going to argue with Ariana's recollection of events.

[Review] Jennifer Lopez tackles Ballad, "Feel the Light", on American Idol



We're more used to Jennifer Lopez giving us choreography, with the singing being a side dish. In doing so, we often don't expect much from the Diva, vocally. As long as the show put on is enjoyable we give her a pat on the back and send her on her way. After all, JLo is known more for being an entertainer than a vocalist.

However, in promoting the Home soundtrack on American Idol, the Diva chose to sing the ballad Feel The Light. Not only did she pick a challenging song to sing, but, since she was literally static for the duration of the whole thing, she had no excuses when it came to the vocals. So, how did she fair?

Ellie Goulding Covers Hozier's "Take Me To Church"


Did everyone fall in love with Hozier after his Grammy performance of Take Me To Church? I know I did! Sure, him sharing the stage with Annie Lennox may have played a small part, but the song rocks regardless.

[Music Video] Bjork - "Lionsong"



Bjork isn't real, right? Like, I know she's real - I'm not nuts! But she's not human, is she?

The visuals for her latest track, Lionsong, does nothing but continue to build on my mythos that this Diva is an Icelandic sprite of some sort, woken from a slumber to spread her magical music to the creatively starved masses.

[Discuss] Mariah Carey Returns To Sony, But How Can They Resuscitate her Stalled Career?



Mariah Carey has had a trying few years on the music front. Ever since the triumphant comeback of 2005's the The Emancipation Of Mimi, the Diva has suffered from dwindling sales and diminishing relevancy with the wider public.
