The Best You Never Heard: Usher’s Unexpected Duets

6229c55fb7ed72fef88d35caacf46d2c The Best You Never Heard: Ushers Unexpected Duets

R&B ringleader Usher has long stood a solo symbol of the R&B divo – outlasting many of his 90′s male (and female) contemporaries to usher in chart-topping albums and singles over several genres. While able to claim the title of one of the most successful male solo acts of all time, the singer has still found time to lay his recognizable falsetto over many-a-rapper’s hooks and hits.

But, some may not know of his oft-under praised duets with singing co-stars.

On the heels of today’s ‘Lemme See’ video release (which features Rick Ross) and news the singer was set to duet with the late Amy Winehouse shortly before her death, That Grape Juice looks to salute Ush’s smoother musical couplings with some of R&B’s leading divas – Beyonce, Brandy, Alicia Keys, and Omarion.

VH1 Unveils ’100 Greatest Women In Music’, Plans Weeklong Whitney Houston Tributes

vh1 VH1 Unveils 100 Greatest Women In Music, Plans Weeklong Whitney Houston Tributes

VH1 has completed its quest to crown ‘the ultimate diva’ (based on fan votes) by unveiling its list of the 100 greatest women of music history. The survey comes as their second – the first saw acts Aretha Franklin and Tina Turner take the number 1 and 2 spots respectively while acts like Madonna and Billie Holiday filled out the top 10.

With 6 categories – “All Time”, “90s”, “80s”, “Pop”, “Rock”, and “Hip Hop/R&B” – VH1 has introduced a more comprehensive compilation of divas to include, unlike their original survey, more contemporary performers (i.e. Rihanna, Beyonce, Lady Gaga, etc) and base it on achievements in the past 20 years. Sure to get tongues wagging, the list’s first 20 are set for a televised unveil on tonight’s premiere episode of the five night countdown at 10pm Eastern.

If this list is the best they could do, VH1 may have done better unveiling this on April 1st. Find out where your fave fell via the full list below:
