[Music Video] Grimes - "Kill V.Maim"

Grimes' Art Angels was another critically acclaimed LP for the alternative Diva.

Unlike her first album Visions, this one presented to the public an immediately more accessible body of work. With its poppier sounds and more straightforward, cleaner vocals, it functioned nicely as an easier route for the nervous into this Diva's wonderful world.

[Discuss] Is Alicia Keys A Terrible Singer?

When Alicia Keys debuted in 2001 with her smash hit Fallin', she was held up as a kind of wonder kid. Hailing from a deprived area of New York, the Diva was pushed as a classically trained pianist who was as capable on the keys as she was with her own voice. And if that wasn't enough, she was a writer and a composer to boot! Truly the whole package, it was little surprise that she quickly came to Clive Davis' attention.

Adele Careers Into Nicki Minaj's Lane With Carpool Karaoke Session

James Corden's series of celebrity carpools for The Late Late Show has already managed to create some iconic moments in its relatively short existence.

Who could forget Mariah Carey's stiff as an arthritic Tin Man wine? Or Jennifer Hudson releasing the beast and somehow not blowing out the car windows as she belted And I Am Telling You I'm Not Going. But today's ride around London town, featuring Adele, might have just surpassed them all in terms of entertainment value.

Brandy Starts 2016 Right With New Music, "Beggin' & Pleadin'"

Yes, Brandy, this is how you celebrate the new year: With a fresh sound and an exciting surprise release!

Beggin' & Pleadin' is serving up some Deep South Blues, with a dirty guitar lick and one of the Diva's best vocals to date! The trademark runs and layered harmonies have been reigned in significantly, and her tone kept solidified and within a narrower range throughout. Some may moan that her wings have been clipped, but to me the vocal is so much more focused and effective for it. There's no distractions or busyness, just raw emotion.

Celine Dion Not So Successfully Attempts Adele's "Hello"

When people lazily throw out the word "overrated" when speaking about Adele, the easiest way I find to help them see that this isn't quite fair is to show them someone else singing her material. After all, if she was overrated, surely anyone could do what she does.

Natalie Cole Passes Away At The Age Of 65

A death is never a good thing, but to start the new year with a report of one is just awful.

January 1st 2016 marked the day that the news of Natalie Cole's passing reached me*. The Diva, who was responsible for a number of classics, such as This Will Be and Inseparable, was 65 at the time of her death from congestive heart failure.
