[Watch] Rihanna Shocks With Versatile Vocals @ 2016 Billboard Awards

rihanna billboard 2016

Even though Needed Me is the single currently climbing the Hot 100, Rihanna, in her infinite wisdom, decided to forgo giving it that further push by singing it at the 2016 Billboard Music Awards. Instead, it was the classic-sounding Love on The Brain that got the gig.

[Shock] Pink Calls Christina Aguilera "...Best Singer Of Our Generation"!!!




Now I've heard everything!

Promoting her stint on The Voice -where she acted as an advisor- Pink gave Christina Aguilera a MASSIVE compliment, calling her, "one of the best singers of our generation"! Excuse me for being a little shocked, it's just not something I thought I'd ever hear from the Missundaztood singer.

Their issues supposedly go way back. Initially starting from their first meeting on the Lady Marmalade collaboration, it was a beef that grew more personal when the Dirty one poached Pink's friend and collaborator- Linda Perry- for her own project. I thought this was a petty spat that would see me through to my grave, keeping me warm for all eternity. But nope, looks like it's over.

What a wondrous time to be alive.


Christina Aguilera Improves On Rihanna, Beyonce, Gaga and Whitney Houston Material by Aguilera-ising Them on Ellen



What the point of this segment was, I don't know.

Rather than imitate the Divas coming up on the screen, which would have been fun to watch, Christina Aguilera sang the songs as Christina Aguilera. Maybe that was the point! To have Ellen guess the artist, in any way, bar Chrisy naming them outright.  Clearly I've never seen (or heard of) this "Head up!" segment before, but it reads as charades for two people. Am I right? #Confused.

Anywho, my reading too much into this tiny VT my thoughts on the video:
  • Christina's contour is awful.
  • Christina still has beef with Gaga despite their apparent make up with the  Do What U Want duet on The Voice.  
  • And the biggest shock: Christina doesn't know any Streisand!! BURN HEERRRRR!
Seriously, f**k this! Give us new music, already! I'm dying over here, Xtina! .

[Watch] Trailer for Mariah Carey's New Reailty Series Airs On YouTube


You must have heard by now that Mariah Carey fired her old management team. Well the replacement squad clearly hit the ground running, getting the Diva back on the road and back into shape (vocally and physically).

Next stop on their rebrand of the Queen of the '90s, is to (I assume) make her seem "normal" and somewhat relatable.  And what better, and quicker, way to do that than a reality show on the network that gave us the iconic Kardashian brood.

[Review] Song Run-Down, Eurovision 2016




EUROVISION TIMEEEEEEEEEEEE!

Watched by 200 million people over 50 countries, the state-spanning song contest is once again upon Europe (and some other honorary countries). Today I am going to be writing up the review as it happens. To the uninitiated, the opening catwalk is a great metaphor for the contest as a whole:it's camp and ever so slightly ridiculous.

Being hosted in Stockholm, Sweden, this year's theme is apparently "come together". How lovely! It mirrors the original sentiment of the first show which was started as a way to rebuild relationships post World War 2. Sure, make friends by having a competition(!) Genius.

Anyway, it's starting! Let's get ready for some Euro-centric fun.

Note:Each song is being reviewed as I listen and in show order. I've not heard any of the entries before, and after a brief blurb they'll be given a rating out of 5 Euros (5 being Euro-rific, 1 being Euro-trash).

[Free For All Friday]


I see you!

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!

[Get Ready for the Feels] Andra Day - "Love Is Love"


Ok, all you cold-ass bitches, challenge time!

Let's see if I can't melt that ice block around your heart, and make you feel a modicum of something other than apathy, today. The Diva that will be helping me achieve this near-impossible feat is Andra Day. All I ask is that you spare five minutes to watch the M. Night Shyamalan-directed promo for her new single, Love Is Love.

If, after doing so, you fail to be moved in any way, please consult the coroner. You iz dead, gurl!
