Her work may have been overlooked by the 2014 Grammy committee, but that hasn’t stopped the general public’s support of R&B heartbeat K.Michelle this year.

Rebuilding her career with the bricks and mortar that are ‘Love & Hip Hop‘ and undeniably strong material, the ‘For Coloured Girls’ performer is now the star of her self-penned success story, joining Tamar Braxton and Fantasia to become one of the genre’s more lucrative ladies.

So, why we’d say a number of her sonic siblings have a thing or two to learn from her today?

You may not know he is now, but Christian rapper Bizzle is hoping his take on Macklemore‘s ‘Same Love’ will change all that today, following the release of his own take on the song.

Shedding light on the ‘pro-gay agenda’ he believes Mack is using to boost his own Pop popularity, the performer also goes a long way to slam those who compare the African-American civil rights struggle to the LGBT rights movement, as ‘they hung us like tree ornaments, where were you at? / They burned us for entertainment, you go through that?’

Rihanna…Ciara…Beyonce.

After the first two forced his name into Pop’s stratosphere by recording and releasing cuts penned by him, the latter will no doubt welcome his take on her latest smash hit today, one week after she brought it to life at the 56th Annual Grammy awards.

His name? Future.

The remix? ‘Drunk in Love.’

That’s right, shortly before he joins fiancee Ciara in welcoming their first child to the world, the vocalist takes on the Urban hit, armed with new lyrics, a fresh perspective and his trust pal auto-tune.

They’re the gifted quintet forged by the ‘X Factor USA’ and now carve out a lane of their very own with every new release they unleash.

Indeed, in a move that’ll see them score the longevity that oft escapes girl groups, Fifth Harmony‘s time since leaving the show has seen them dedicate all efforts to developing themselves right in front of their fans’ very eyes.

Of course, while this may have come as a surprise to those who’d expected instantaneous chart domination for the group, the grass roots-esque movement the girls have generated has given them an air of credibility, likely to pay off once Epic hits play on their international promo.

With all this in mind, is it any wonder rapper Yung Berg hopes to hop aboard Harmony’s creative ship this year?

Not sure what we mean?

Beyonce has quite the knack for surprising these days.

The chart force sent fans into a frenzy when she hit the stage for a surprise performance of ‘Drunk In Love’. during Jay-Z’s headlining set at DirecTV Super Saturday Night this evening,

Held at Pier 40 in New York City, the pair’s pre Super Bowl showing comes a year after King B headlined the coveted stage, and a week after they become the most-talked about names in the industry following their Grammy rendition of the song.

With ‘Drunk’ reaching dizzying heights and radio and holding firm in the top 10 on US iTunes, the single seems poised for even greater success.

Currently hard at work on her own fifth solo LP, member Kelly Rowland took a brief break to host an evening at Medusa nightclub in Dallas, Texas this weekend.

When sister Beyonce‘s latest smash ‘Drunk In Love’ is played, Ms. Kelly shows love by hitting the dance-floor – “surfboard” and all.

February 10th brings with it the debut of LeToya Luckett‘s hotly anticipated comeback single ‘Don’t Make Me Wait’.

Ironically, “waiting” is exactly what the singer’s fans have been doing in the four years since the R&B star released her sophomore effort ‘Lady Love’.

Now, in a mere matter of weeks, the track will premiere on the hit show Luckett currently stars in – VH1’s ‘Single Ladies’.

Want an early listen? That’s exactly what awaits after the jump…

Thanks in great part to Perez Hilton, a late 90s interview clip of the original Destiny’s Child members made its way around the net due to one awesomely gif-worthy moment.

As fans know, the clip shows a young Beyonce, Letoya Luckett, and Latavia Roberson imparting some serious side-eye action to Kelly Rowland after she introduced herself as the group’s ‘second lead vocalist’.

No member of the group has spoken out about the viral clip until now as Luckett, in hot promotion of season 3 of VH1’s hit show ‘Single Ladies’, weighed in on the clip with MTV:

Tomorrow night, the entire world will tune into Kevin Reilly‘s ‘FOX’ to catch Super Bowl XLVIII, and its Bruno Mars led ‘Halftime show.‘

Taking place one year after Beyonce‘s electrifying showing at the event, Mars’ performance will bring with hefty rewards all contributors to his music, set to see his sales rise as the general public rushes to outlets to pick up the material he’ll rock live on the night.

With this in mind- and talk of 2015’s offering already taking place- we ask…

Which act would you like to see rock next year’s show?!

Let us know who you have in mind below!

Show-stopper.

It’s a phrase Beyonce‘s has come to embody over her illustrious career.

Hence, it’s little surprise that the star’s performance of ‘Drunk In Love’ with hubby Jay-Z was the definitive hot topic at last Sunday’s Grammy Awards.

The titillating showing set tongues a’wagging  thanks to its potent blend of sensuality and controversy — which we imagine was the goal.

In any case, now King B is giving fans an insight into how the performance was pieced together.

It is quite literally the biggest show on Earth.  Often playing to (present and distant) crowds of 90 million+, the SuperBowl Half-time Show is every year’s must see performance with only an elite group of pop superstar’s able to claim they’ve headlined one.

From pop’s top divas Madonna, Janet Jackson, Diana Ross, and Beyonce to pop potentates Michael Jackson and Prince, the Superbowl Half-time show has been graced by its fair share of music royals.

But, is there one that completely takes the crown for ‘best ever’?  Billboard seems to think so.  In great anticipation for Bruno Mars’ showing tomorrow night, the Music Bible unveiled its top Half-time shows ever.  As ever, sparking quite the debate.

See the list below and weigh in?
