Currently over here in Europe promoting her chart-topping album ‘Funhouse’, Pink performed a set for MySpace Secret concert series in Barcelona this week. Yes, you don’t see the once-R&B singer on That Grape Juice all that much, but her performance of ‘Killing Me Softly’ (made popular by The Fugees) at the show was awesome.

Seeing her do the song such justice, even with her now being a ‘Pop Rocker’, really has me hoping she re-embraces a more Urban sound – even if just for a track or two – on her next release. Not to say, the pink hair and choreography should make a return, but music like this seems to be a sure-fit for her as well.

In a recent interview with the LA Times, Christina Aguilera got the claws out, albeit subliminally, when questioned about the murmurings in many circles that she is ‘borrowing’ newcomer Lady Gaga’s style for her latest ‘look’:

What do you say to those on the Internet who are hinting that you borrowed Lady Gaga’s look?

You know, that’s funny that you mention that. This person [Lady Gaga] was just brought to my attention not too long ago. I’m not quite sure who this person is, to be honest. I don’t know if it is a man or a woman. I just wasn’t sure. I really don’t spend any time on the Internet, so I guess I live a little under a rock in that respect.

Hmm…the infamous ‘I don’t know who that is’ line dropped by yet another artist.’ Peep pics of Lady Gaga below…you be the judge.

We Break The Dawn

The Greatest

For the most part, I really enjoyed the performances – particularly the ‘Hello Heartbreak’, ‘We Break The Dawn’ and ‘The Greatest’ showings. Here’s hoping things pick up with the project soon. It’s too good of an album IMO to go unheard by the masses.

Grammy award winning songstress Alicia Keys stopped by Good Morning America to promote the re-release of her multi-Platinum selling LP ‘As I Am’. Keys performed a medley of hits including ‘No One’, ‘Like You’ll Never See Me Again’, and recent single ‘Superwoman’. As always, Alicia nailed it. Great performance.

It seems as of late Beyonce is everywhere. The singer performed her smash singles ‘If I Were A Boy’ and ‘Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It)’ at the 2008 World Music Awards last night in Monte Carlo’s Sporting Club arena. Though her live showings of ‘If I Were A Boy’ continue to be solid, many have been keen to see what she’d deliver live with ‘Single Ladies’ – myself included.

Watching the ‘Single Ladies’ performance back, however, has me a little disappointed. I can’t put my finger on what exactly it was; but between the distracting hordes of weave on her head, the tacky outfits and the generally unpolished feel of the performance of the song, something wasn’t quite right. Here’s hoping she irons out the messiness of it all and makes it work next time.

Check out a stunning looking Brandy on the set of her brand new single ‘Long Distance’. The Chris Robinson directed clip will be premiering soon. I must say, Brandy looks stunning.

As reported, Beyonce has been over here in the UK promoting her new single ‘If I Were A Boy’. ITN caught up with the Bootylicious beauty for a pretty random, yet hilarious interview.

Tidbit: I guess those looking forward to a Destiny’s Child reunion of sorts may be in luck.

The prime suspect in the murders of Jennifer Hudson’s mother, brother and nephew, William Balfour, was denied release from prison today by the Chicago authorities:

The man police have called a suspect in the murder of actress Jennifer Hudson’s family will remain in prison while investigators continue to investigate the triple slaying.

The Illinois Prisoner Review Board ruled this morning that there was reason to believe that William Balfour, 27, had violated his parole. The major reason was that his girlfriend had said that she had seen him with a gun that matched the murder weapon, according to Jorge Montes, chairman of the review board.

In addition, the board said he had violated parole by being in places where drugs were sold. That stems from a June 19 drug arrest, but Balfour’s parole was not revoked at that time.

During the hearing, Balfour protested the use of the evidence that authorities presented to hold him, Montes said. Balfour was not represented by a lawyer. {Source}

The whole situation is still beyond sad. I hope this guy gets locked for life.
