Pop queen Madonna made a rare appearance in last night at New York’s Roseland Ballroom.

Your thoughts?

The pop fates are spinning quite a tickling web.  For, while Janet Jackson made news for cancelling tour plans due to need of backing track vocal rest,  Rihanna has been cited by her vocal coach to be a ‘true vocalist’.  Such billing is sure to get a collective side-eye from many-a-patient currently recovering from the “true vocal” displays that were the Loud cd and accompanying tour.

As the Grammy winning NOcalist vocalist preps fans for ‘Talk That Talk’, she is releasing webisodes documenting its creation process and many other behind the scenes gems from the Loud era (which coincidentally ended less than a month before ‘Talk’ was announced’).

Get into this, the latest of the set, after the jump:

In case you weren’t aware,  Christmas is fast approaching.

And so, in a bid to cash in on the season of good will and perpetual spending ,Pop foursome JLS have confirmed the title of the next single they are hoping their fans will take straight to #1.

Named ‘Do You Feel What I Feel‘, the cut is lifted from their upcoming album ‘Jukebox’ which hits stores in the UK on November 14th.

The sixth live show of  X Factor 2011 aired tonight.

{For those unfamiliar with The X Factor, the show is the UK’s version of American Idol – with a twist in that groups and over 28’s are eligible to enter. Now in it’s seventh season, the show is responsible for birthing the careers of Leona Lewis, Alexandra Burke, and JLS. Its US incarnation launched this September on FOX}.

Watch this week’s performances below…

Miss Janet Jackson turned many-a-head with her lean green cover of Harper’s Bazaar Arabia this month.  Supplying no shortage of sexy, the 45-year-old pop icon made headlines this month for cancelling the Australian dates of her acclaimed ‘Number 1s’ tour (citing need for vocal rest).   Additionally, it didn’t help that family matters related to the Dr. Conrad Murray trial were equally pressing.

With that all behind her, fans are undoubtedly geared up for new releases from the diva in the coming year.  Said to be working on new movies and music alike, we are certainly hoping 2012 proves to be a big year for the songstress.  Until then, fans have been invited to take a look behind the scenes of the famed photo shoot.  Needless to say, Janet rocks it!

It’s all for you after the jump:

‘I’m Going Down’ diva Mary J. Blige brought the house down last night in the Bay (Oakland, CA).  Much like ‘Love A Woman’ co-star Beyonce, Blige is prepping fans for her forthcoming ‘My Life II’ (November 21st) with 4 intimate shows.  See pics from the affair below (thanks to Rap-Up):

The show will certainly act as prep for ‘Act I’ next living showings as the Grammy-winner is set to take stage in Los Angeles on Thursday, November 17, for the live concert broadcast at 11 p.m. EST on VEVO.  Shows in New York City (11/23) and Atlanta (11/25) round out the 4 intimate dates.

As ever, keep it locked to That Grape Juice for your first look!

As reported here, ‘Down For Whatever’ diva Kelly Rowland got down to business tonight on Graham Norton.  Although resuming her panel duties on X Factor UK after a brief hiatus due to illness, the songstress (still obviously in recovery mode) soldiered through this – the first televised performance of her latest RedOne-crafted hit.

Setting the tone for the international release of her acclaimed ‘Here I Am’ set, find out how she did after the jump:

Britney Spears may have all but forgotten the point of an 8-count, but who cares as long as she’s getting paid, ay? At least that must be the thinking of her team, who signed a lucrative deal with Epix – who’ll tonight air Spears’ ‘Femme Fatale Tour’.

Sure to be an embarrassment, you can get a taste of just how bad after the jump where her performance of ‘Till The World Ends (ft. Nicki Minaj)’ awaits…
