[Watch] JLo Tributes Selena With Medley @ Latin Billboards Awards


What's the consensus? I can't remember if we decided to let Jennifer Lopez into the "Divas that can sing well" camp. Remind me, will ya.

If you're still undecided on this extremely important issue- as I am- then maybe this video is for you. She already performed a straight out vocal piece on American Idol this year (and by that I mean there was no dancing to distract or excuse the singing). But here, at The Latin Billboard Awards, the Diva spiced it up by delivering both ballads and uptempo numbers in a medley of songs that paid tribute to murdered star, Selena Quintanilla. #versatile.

[Vocal Profile] Patrick Stump

 
Patrick Stump

Vocal Type: High Lyric Tenor
Vocal Range:E2-C6 3 octaves and a minor sixth.
Whistle Register: No
Vocal Pluses: Lead singer and songwriter of Fall Out Boy, Patrick Stump is an experienced vocalist. He has sung almost entirely in the pop punk idiom, but has also made the transition to RnB without difficulty on solo album Soul Punk. Though he has a light voice, due to his technique, his voice carries a piercing, ringing quality, most noticeable in the upper fourth and lower fifth octaves. He has also shown an interesting knack for melisma – unusual given his chosen genre.

Stump’s low range is the least-used area of his voice, and has a dark, distended quality [Headfirst Slide Into Cooperstown on a Bad Bet]. He very infrequently descends lower than C3, but when he does, approaches the notes with solid support, and doesn’t have the breathy quality that so many tenors do when singing low.

The middle voice, starting around E3 ascending to E4-F4, is impressively malleable, being able to morph to whichever style he chooses to sing in [Compare Dance, Dance to This City], and he generally uses a strong, easy-sounding approach when he sings. Patrick Stump also has great capability for fast-moving, melismatic lines in the middle voice, best seen on the Fall Out Boy album Folie a Deux.

Michelle Williams Keeps Bringing The Goodness With "Believe In Me"



The only member of Destiny's Child that ever mattered has given us another slice of her uplifting pie! YAAS!!!!! *Begins involuntarily pulsating with the Holy Spirit*

Britney Spears Continues To Be My Hero After Fall


Britney Spears, you continue to inspire with your unflappable work ethic!

Watch, in a amazement, as the Diva lands badly on an ankle and still manages to give us improvised floor choreography- despite the pain. If you, Ms.Spears, can can carry on entertaining with a busted-up ankle and (what I assume) is still a dodgy knee, then I can go to work with a black eye! (Well, after I foundation the F**k out of it!)

"Did you ever know that you're my hero? You're everything I wish I could be. I could fly higher than an eagle, 'cause you are the wind beneath my wings."

We don't get Dancing With The Stars here in the UK. Or if we do, it's on some channel that I haven't got time for.

[New Music] Mariah Carey - "Infinity"



Oh.My.Lordt.

Mariah Carey's new song Infinity has landed as a lyric video!!! (So no excuses for not singing along!) Taken from her latest collection of number one singles, titled #1 To Infinity, could this nostalgia-heavy track end up being the Diva's 19th Billboard number one?

Take a listen and decide for yourself!
