All roads lead to February 29th for Christina Aguilera.

There and then, viewers will find the diva back to the grind of finding America’s next big superstar on the 10th season of NBC’s juggernaut talent show ‘The Voice.’  But, as she preps for her return to TV, her faithful fans – affectionately christened #Fighters – have their eyes on calendars prepped for another date (see:  day of new album release).

Teasing followers with snaps of herself hard at work on the long-awaited project for over a year now, the songstress sat down with ‘Extra’ recently to lend yet another update on the ever-elusive LP.  In addition to whetting appetites for it, Xtina also dished on ‘The Voice,’ ‘Lip Sync Battle,’ new ‘Voice’ mentor Patti Labelle (and her famous ‘Patti pies’), and so much more.

Being no stranger to penning a hit or two for some of music’s biggest stars (see:  Celine Dion, Rihanna, and more), it’s a no brainer that Ne-Yo would be the “go-to” guy for his opinion on the still much talked about happenings at ‘Super Bowl 50,’ which featured two of today’s biggest divas – Beyonce and Lady Gaga.

Taking to HuffPostLive to discuss the former, who is still embroiled in a world of controversy for her “racially charged”/polarizing performance, the R&B beau shared his thoughts on the matter while also reflecting on their 2006 megahit ‘Irreplaceable.’  Also, as he is set to perform the national anthem at the 2016 NBA All-Star game tomorrow night, the singer-songwriter weighed in on Lady Gaga‘s rendition of the historic number at the ‘Super Bowl.’

Always one to ‘keep it real,’ hear Ne-Yo thoughts on these topics and more in his own words below:

Future just may be the hardest working man in the rap game.

Releasing four albums in five years (excluding a multitude of mixtapes), the rapper/producer has delivered his fair share of hits to the Billboard Hot 100 in his brief career.  Similarly, as his recent successes aboard the Billboard 200 show, his fans are by no means complaining about the wealth of music he’s lent.  In fact, if the commercial response to his latest project – surprise album ‘Evol’ – is any indication, they simply can’t get enough.

After two consecutive number 1 stays in 2015 (see:  ‘DS2’ and the Drake-assisted ‘What A Time To Be Alive’), it appears fans of Ciara‘s baby’s daddy should expect yet another check in atop the album charts in his near future…

Christina Milian delivers a stinging anti-Valentine’s Day anthem in the form of new tune ‘Liar,’ which can now boast a video treatment.

An intimate affair that details the singer’s frustration with her unfaithful lover, the timeliness of the song and clip’s release also comes on the heels of her breakup with longtime beau Lil Wayne (amidst ongoing rumors of his infidelity during their courtship).

‘Liar’ leads the latest charge for consumer interest for ‘4U’ – Milian’s first lengthy musical project in nearly 10 years (see:  2006’s ‘So Amazin’).  Following the tunes ‘Rebel’ and ‘Do It,’ will ‘Liar’ be the singer’s true return to commercial relevance?
