Renown for being consistently inconsistent, Rihanna arrived in China’s Macau recently to fulfil one her ‘Diamonds World Tour‘s few Asian dates.

Though we’d still say she’d benefit from attending the ‘Mrs.Carter Show’ armed with a note pad and pen, her live renditions of hits ‘S&M‘, ‘Only Girl In The World’ and ‘Don’t Stop The Music’ saw her employ a little effort, resulting in a fun outcome.

Will she ever be good as Beyonce or Ciara?

No.

Is the performance below worth watching?

October 15th may mark the release of Mary J.Blige‘s new Christmas album, ‘A Mary Christmas’, but that hasn’t stopped the ‘Be Without You’ belle from releasing one of its numbers a little early to date.

A cover of Donny Hathaway‘s classic ‘This Christmas‘, some may agree that Blige’s vocal lacks the feeling of joy and euphoria the cut’s lyrics should have forced out of her, but will still make for an enjoyable listen for any hoping to get in the Holiday spirit well before December.

Honesty awaits you after the jump!

As both artists watch their latest albums ride high on R&B waves, Tamar Braxton has expressed her admiration for ‘Made To Love  touring partner John Legend.

Let’s be honest, supporting Contemporary R&B hasn’t been easy in the last few years.

Left to fend for itself in a world without substantial radio backing, thinly spread budgets and widespread talk of it being ‘dead’, the genre has been dealt more than its fair share of commercial blows recently, much to the dismay of those who hold it most dear.
