[Peep the Opulence] Azealia Banks - "Ice Princess"



The word "problematic" is one that is thrown about an awful lot when it comes to Azealia Banks. That may be true, and warranted, when it comes to her outspoken, real world views. However, it's not the case when it comes to her musical output. That is anything but problematic.

[Watch] Iggy Azalea, Jennifer Hudson and Meghan Trainor Perform @ iHeart Music Awards



I don't really wanna watch these performances, but you guys might enjoy them so I thought I'd post anyway. From looking at the video still, though, I will say this: Christina Aguilera may not have a monopoly on the sailor look, but even still, Meghan:

[Watch] Madonna Belts Out "Ghosttown" With T-Swift @ 2015 iHeart Awards



Madonna left the cape at home for her performance at the iHeart Music Awards yesterday. Instead she chose to accessorise with perhaps the biggest pop star in the world: Taylor Swift. (If you don't believe that she was just a prop, peep the extra guitarist on stage, despite there only being one playing on the track.) Whatever the case, it was definitely a less painful way of generating publicity.

Rihanna Rocks IHeart Music Awards With "Better Have My Money"



Rihanna had the right attitude, a ballsy set piece - a damn helicopter, no less- and the perfect attire to perform her latest, very risky, single B**** Better Have My Money at the iHeartRadio Music Awards. It's just a shame the song is- as much as it breaks my heart to say- terrible*.

Seriously, the R8 campaign has been such a mess thus far. Considering it's the longest the Diva has kept us waiting for a new album, I was really expecting more of a bang from the return of one of the world's biggest stars.

Also, will someone please get Kanye away from Ms. Fenty and her music. Thanks!

[Free For All Friday]


I feel its pain! This is pretty much my life summed up in a gif...lol

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!

Mariah Carey shows Funny Side on The Late Show " Carpool Karaoke"


We Mariah Carey fans already know that this Diva has a sense of humour. Sure, it's a certain brand of funny. But nonetheless, it's still one that takes many an uninitiated by surprise.

[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?

Kelly Clarkson Covers Tracy Chapman!



The shame is real. Trust me.

It's been about a month since the crazy talented Kelly Clarkson's latest album, Piece by Piece, was released. Yet I still haven't listened to it! Sorry, Kelly! (That apology also extends to frequent Tweeter @IncitingARiot, who has patiently been waiting on a review of the LP.)
