‘What have you done for me lately?’ takes on new meaning after reports have surfaced that Grammy-winning pop icon Janet Jackson has been snubbed, yet again, from induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.

With a four decade career that boasts over 100 million records sold and countless industry awards lining her shelves, Jackson reigns supreme as the second most decorated female artist of all time (second only to Whitney Houston –who was also shut out).  Apparently her efforts, which span across music and film, have yet to be enough to impress the academy who votes and helps decide who will be inducted into the prestigious institution.

But, it looks like she’s not the only one…

Well, well, well. What have we here?

By no means editorial rhetoric, we’re legitimately looking for an answer. Because, after watching Cheryl Cole‘s latest performance, we’re none-the-wiser.

Famed for everything but her vocals, the X Factor panelist – whose job it is to judge the voices of others every week – seems keen to prove her naysayers wrong. For, she has spontaneously served up a live cover of TLC’s ‘Unpretty’ and Beyonce’s ‘Pretty Hurts’, as she ramps up promo for her upcoming new album ‘Only Human’ (due November 10th).

For fans of original Sugababes, Mutya Keisha Siobhan, the wait for the group’s debut album has been every flavour of excruciating.

Teased as far back as 2011, the set has been marred by many a speed-bump – most notably the release of their one (and thus far only) single ‘Flatline’ last Summer.

Oddly rolled out with just two days of worth counting on iTunes, the track peaked at #50 on the Official UK Singles Chart – effectively derailing the trio’s initial comeback plans.

Since then, the volume on their campaign has been mute. Until now.

Taking to Facebook this week, the talented songbirds offered fans an exciting update.

Given the tough musical climate, the once-frequent practice of re-releasing albums has become a thing of the past. However, it’s set to be revived for Billboard belle Iggy Azalea next month when her debut album ‘The New Classic’ is re-issued.

Officially christened ‘Reclassified’, the set will add a selection of new tracks to the original LP, with a fresh single from the new set of songs also a strong likelihood.

It’s widely expected that the re-release will add to the 376,681 US sales of the original, which has been in stores since April 23rd and has thus far been supported by singles including ‘Work’, ‘Fancy’, and ‘Black Widow’.

Building buzz, the Australian-bred beauty revealed the LP’s cover. Check it out above.
