Donald Trump‘s race to the White House was made much easier hours ago after his latest political gains saw him kick his rival Marco Rubio out of the game.

Worrying? That isn’t the worst of it.

For, the New York Daily News is reporting that the Hip-Hop artist Foxy Brown is endorsing him.

Mariah Carey is back!

At least that what it sounded like last night as she kicked off her ‘Sweet Sweet Fantasy Tour’ at the SSE Hydro in Glasgow, Scotland.

The diva, who has in recent years been plagued by critique of her voice, silenced the naysayers by wowing with powerful vocals and slick, stylised staging.

Much to the delight of her Lambs, the superstar also held true to her promise of performing songs that fared better in Europe. Hence, dusted off were ‘When You Believe’ and the still-lit ‘Loverboy.’

For us here at TGJ, the show was extra special because it brought with it what sounds like an entirely live version of ‘We Belong Together’ (for the Mimi-inclined: yes, including the climax).

Peep video below….

Michelle Obama has embraced music as a powerful medium during the President’s tenure in the White House.

And, as the clock counts down to the end their run, it’s a practice that continues.

Today brought with it the debut of her new song ‘This Is For My Girls.’

Granted we’d love to see the First Lady give the Pop girls a run for their money, this track doesn’t see her sing.

Instead, she leads a multitude of female stars on the track, which aims to raise awareness for the US government’s #62MillionGirls campaign. Said initiative focusses on seeking help for girls around the world who unable to go to school due to the lack of opportunities.

Penned by the iconic Diane Warren and executive produced by AOL MAKERs, the song – which features the likes of Kelly Rowland, Kelly Clarkson, Missy Elliott, Zendya, and Janelle Monae – is available to listen to below…

When will Christina Aguilera stop playing around and give us the business – namely her new album?

The vocal wonder has been teasing the follow-up to 2012’s ‘Lotus’ for what feels like forever and there still isn’t any concrete confirmation of its arrival beyond an apparent “2016” release.

Still, to whet appetites, Xtina has been showing up and showing out this season on The Voice.

The latest episode was no different.

Forming the centre-piece of an ensemble comprised of fellow coaches Pharrell Williams, Adam Levine, and Blake Shelton, the songbird soared with a soulful cover of Stevie Wonder‘s ‘I Wish.’

It’s been tough times for Janet Jackson, but is the tide about to turn?

The diva hit headlines last week when she cancelled the European leg of her ‘Unbreakable World Tour’ – much to the dismay of her fervent fans in the region.

She has since returned to Los Angeles for what many assumed was rehearsals for her upcoming show at the Dubai World Cup.

However, it seems there was a specific reason behind Janet’s jetting into the US last week, one that will no doubt excite fans.

Queen of Pop Madonna proved a long time ago her reign was far from limited to pop charts.

Currently holding the record for the most successful tour ever by a solo act (see:  2008’s whopping $408 million-generating ‘Sticky and Sweet Tour’), the songstress is now making more noise in touring history books thanks to her current outing ‘The Rebel Heart Tour’ (christened after her 13th album of the same name).

And, while the ‘Living For Love’-led project is the worst-selling of her career, its supportive tour is singing a much different tune.

Get the details below:

While one breaks records, the other is just…well…broke (with expensive taste).

Interestingly, though their chart stats and overall relevancy sing two very different tunes, one thing Azealia Banks and Rihanna have in common is an apparent absence of “give a damn” – often evidenced by their willingness to use social media as a battleground to wage war against other artists.

Now, just days after announcing a permanent departure from Twitter (and dissing K. Michelle along the way), Banks took to Instagram to diss footage lifted from Rih’s “sold out” ‘Anti’-tour.  Criticizing the singer’s dance moves as ‘lazy,’ the ‘ATM Jam’ maestra dispensed a lengthy weigh-in on the Bajan beauty (much to the displeasure of her faithful #NAVY).

If you’ve missed any of this ongoing action, catch it below:
