Britney Spears may have only just wrapped her ‘Piece Of Me’ Las Vegas residency, but it appears that plans are already underway for her return to Sin City.

Mariah Carey hit the right notes during her much-hyped performance at Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve – and in the process helped steer the show to sky-high ratings.
Details below…
In 1998 the Pop group DREAM impacted the scene with material they hoped would see them rise to levels reached by their peers TLC, Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera.
In 2017, one of its members has revealed that her time within the industry was more akin to a nightmare.

Britney Spears fans were in a frenzy yesterday at news the pop princess was in line to headline the 2018 Super Bowl Halftime Show, sponsored by Pepsi.
A move that would’ve seen the songstress follow the likes of Madonna, Beyonce, and Lady Gaga, reports dominated the Web with “receipts” indicating next year would indeed see Spears lip syncing for her life on the world’s biggest stage. And, if true, the announcement also suggested (like acts before her) the potential of her following the event with updates on a tour or new album.
Well, the dreams of all the aforementioned have been dashed.
Pepsi served members of the singer’s beloved #BritneyArmy a taste of bad news recently when an executive from the mega-corporation expressly denied Spears will be 2018’s headliner.
“I can tell you it’s not Britney [Spears],” executive Justin Toman told MAC Presents founder Marcie Allen, who asked for a hint about the next year’s music performer during a panel…
“We’ll reveal in due time,” he teased, adding that performer “rumors always start around this time.”
Earlier this year, Toman detailed the qualities sought in headliners:
“It’s one of those cases where you look at the small set of the people that could pull that kind of a show off,” he said.
“Sets up in seven minutes, it’s a 12-minute show, and they have to break it all down again in seven minutes. In those 12 minutes of the show, someone has to deliver power, punch, performance, singing, lights…. who has the reach, the social following, the album sales, who’s trending, who’s in cycle?”
Your thoughts?
Britney Spears may have earned a few side-eyes when she revealed interest in duetting with powerhouse divas Celine Dion and Mariah Carey, but the newest diva she’s added to her collaboration wishlist – Beyonce – would actually come as a redo as the two have shared space on a track before.
Fans of the record breaking beauties know they’ve long shared a mutual respect over the course of their careers, but now – as Spears alludes to in a recent sitdown in Thailand with Bangkok Post – it may be time they rejoin forces.
The revelation came just as the ‘Baby One More Time’ singer crushed hearts of her beloved #BritneyArmy by revealing no new music will be lifted from her 9th album, ‘Glory.’
Read this and much more inside:
BP: Can you name one artist/band who’s on your collaboration wishlist? Why do you want to work with him/her/them?
Spears: Beyonce. She’s so fierce and her music is amazing.
BP: We’ve seen you as a judge on the American version of X Factor. Are you planning to do it again anytime soon?
Spears: I enjoyed my time on X Factor, but no, I don’t have plans to do anything like it again.
*****
In addition to mentioning motherhood, her first time in Thailand, and her ‘Piece of Me’ Vegas residency (which kicks off its final leg this August), Spears also confirmed reports she is hard at work on new music. The news comes as a double edged sword for fans as it suggests ‘Glory,’ one of her most critically acclaimed albums to date, has seen its last single lifted.
BP: How’s working on the next album going? Any chance it will be released this year?
Spears: I’m constantly working on music, but no plans to release anything this year.

Penning hits for Whitney Houston, Rihanna, Britney Spears and Kelly Clarkson the duo Louis York rose to fame and notoriety within the music industry.
This year, by way of their own material, they find themselves on course to receiving the same from the critical mass with help from their visual for the single ‘NERDS’.
The cut appears on their ‘Masterpiece Theatre- Act 1′ release and was inspired by the acts’ personal journey.
’NERDS’ is an honest depiction of the many emotions Chuck and I face daily. Two musicians, two cities, same concerns. Are we winning? Are we completely messing things up? Are we doing it right? We often doubt ourselves, but are still so full of hope. These ARE indeed the things that keep us up at night. This song sounds epic because our lives have been epic. We’ve had major successes, suffered crazy losses and gone through lots of unexpected twist and turns. The song goes from unapologetic rock & roll to moody pianos and finally to a gritty, dark uptempo. We want to take listeners on the actual journey from our childhood to the present so everyone can experience the fears and concerns that have shaped us. It’s a song that’s culturally relevant without being bitter. In the end, we’re patriotic dreamers with success on our minds and a desire to spread a lot of love. We are the ‘NERDS.’

It’s official. Britney Spears‘ Las Vegas residency ‘Piece Of Me’ will play its final show at the end of this year.
Confirmation came courtesy of the superstar’s long-time manager Larry Rudolph in an interview with the Las Vegas Review Journal.
He said of the Planet Hollywood production, he said:
“We are done with this show, and our next move is undecided. We are still talking with Caesars Entertainment and other interested parties in Las Vegas.
Anything is possible. We have made zero decisions. We expect a lot of interest from all parties. Britney basically sells out every show, and she loves Las Vegas, she loves performing in Vegas, and Vegas is a possibility going forward.
She might tour, she might work on a new album. It’s too early to talk specifics about anything.”
Since starting in 2013, ‘Britney: Piece Of Me’ has played to more than 700,000 people and grossed well over $100 million.
******************
All we can say is…finally!
For as much as the venture has lined her pockets (and everyone else involved), it’s arguably caused her commercial relevance to evaporate. Just look at her latest album ‘Glory.’ Though housing her strongest music in years, it has sold just 300,000 copies worldwide since last August.
Hence, it’s for that exact reason that all that banter about another Vegas show should cease…for now.
At 35 she’s in a sweet-spot in that she can still have appeal to younger audiences and cater to older supporters.
She would be smart to capitalize on this now, hit hard with a new material and pair it with global promo/touring to support. Thereafter, she should do whatever she wants (even another Vegas show). But only after.
Just our two cents. What are…
Your thoughts?
The iHeartRADIO Music Awards certainly provided many a notable moment courtesy of the host of music stars who took to the stage.
Now, after show-stopping performances from Katy Perry, Bruno Mars, and more, see who walked away with the show’s biggest star – its coveted trophies! A full winners’ list awaits below:
The stars stepped out in seismic style last night for Clive Davis’ Annual Pre-Grammy Gala 2017.
This year’s offering saluted BET Network head Debra Lee for her contributions to the worlds of music and entertainment.
Britney Spears led a lengthy list of notable names in the house at the Beverly Hilton event, which was also attended by Mary J. Blige, Jennifer Hudson, and Best New Artist nominee Chance The Rapper – all of whom performed.

Welcome back to TGJ Replay!
Designed much like our ‘Retro Rewind’ and ‘From the Vault’ features, ‘Replay’ is That Grape Juice‘s yet another reflective segment to act as a written quest to re-spin the gems and jams of yesterday. Unlike its TGJ retrospective predecessors, ‘Replay’ looks to dust off and showcase entire albums (and eras) from a library of pop and Urban pop music hits.
