Times really are a-changing.

Britney Spears has never been famed for live vocal theatrics, but recent months have seen her hitting the “on” switch on her oft mute mic.

The latest showing came last night during her ‘Piece of Me’ Las Vegas show.

Much to the shock of the fans in attendance, Spears opened up her mouth and belted out a cover of Bonnie Raitt’s ‘Something To Talk About.’

How did she sound? Head below to find out…

Miley Cyrus addresses her radical rebirth on new single ‘Younger Now.’

“No one stays the same” she sings on the track, which is lifted from the Pop star’s like-titled new album (due September 29th).

Having lived out her rebellious “Urban” era oh so publicly, Cyrus seizes the song and its visual to open up about her reincarnation.

It’s a smart play given the backlash she received following comments she made in a Billboard interview in which she expressed regret she felt after the ‘Bangerz’ era. This later erupted debate about her race privilege and appropriating black culture for a gain in success.

For what it’s worth, King K reigns again.

Clocking its fourth non-consecutive week atop the Billboard 200, Kendrick Lamar‘s fourth studio album – ‘Damn’ – has competition saying just that as it beat out country superstar, Brett Eldredge, for the top spot. The project, a mainstay in the tally’s top 10 since its March 2017 release, added an another 11,000 units (47,000 SPS) to its overall tally just three weeks after being certified double platinum by the RIAA.

While his recapture of the chart’s throne is undoubtedly a win, the troubling figure he accomplished the feat with landed him in history books.  Why?  Because, it’s the lowest weekly total for any artist’s number 1 album  (second overall) since the chart began ranking by consumption units.

As we reported here, Tyler Perry‘s 2016 Halloween-inspired hit film, ‘Boo! A Madea’s Halloween,’ grossed a whopping $74 million, making it the second most successful movie of the ‘Madea’ franchise to date (behind 2009’s ‘Madea Goes to Jail’).

 The comedy horror film’s homerun at the box-offce was undoubtedly the inspiration behind the quick turnaround for its follow-up, ‘Boo 2!’ Written, directed, and starring Perry as the lovable, but troublesome lead character, the film is set for an October 20, 2017 theatrical opening.

Fans anxious to see what Madea and co. are serving up this-go-round are invited to view its trailer ahead of its premiere.  View it inside:
