Fantasia celebrated her 24th birthday this past weekend at Dreamz ATL. The American Idol winner was was joined by boyfriend Young Dro, former Xscape members Kandi and Tiny (pictured above) as well as Trey Songz.The cut is familiar territory for Michael – from both his and Akon’s vocal arrangements right down to the subject matter; which I guess makes it accessible for fans of that aspect of his music. Saying that, I’m kinda on the fence about this one. Despite the supposedly ‘new’ MJ material floating around, this is the first legitimate taste of post-’Invincible’ MJ material and it doesn’t really deliver the ‘umph’ I would have hoped for. Still, this could be a grower.
Hit or Miss?
Both albums are definitely highly anticipated. So it’ll be interesting to see if they deliver the goods.
Whose album are you looking forward to most: Britney or Brandy?
R&B star Ne-Yo has unseated Coldplay on the Official UK Singles Chart this week with his single ‘Closer’. Having already secured the #2 position the week prior on download sales alone, the song’s charting stands as the singer’s second UK #1 – the first being 2006′s ‘So Sick’.Ms. Jigga was also in attendance to support her husband…

Amy, Amy Amy…
There’s more though; the troubled star also took a moment to call out rapper Kanye West – randomly labelling him a ‘cunt’ to the 90, 000 strong crowd during her performance of ‘Some Unholy War’. Check out the audio via World Star Hip-Hop below:
Kanye released a response via his official blog today, simply remarking “Amy Winehouse hates me!!! Now I’ve really made it!!! LOL!!!!”
For Amy I really have no words…
Your thoughts?
Though I’m no fan of Rihanna (I’m not a supporter of mediocrity), I’d be lying if I said this wasn’t an impressive performance. For the first time in…well…ever, Rihanna gave a an energized performance and turned in a pretty decent vocal showing too. Good stuff.

It appears the folk over at Bad Boy finally decided to hook Day26 up with a much needed new single in the form of ‘Since You’ve Been Gone’, the video for which premiered recently. Luckily for the guys, the song is strong enough to carry this, otherwise, run-of-the-mill clip. The Dawn (from Danity Kane) cameo was a nice touch, though. With the track being one of the strongest cuts from their self titled debut, here’s hoping it fares better than first single ‘Got Me Going’ which peaked at #79 on the Billboard Hot 100.
