Ke$ha hit the stage on ‘Jimmy Fallon Live’ last evening and performed her #1 single ‘Tik Tok’. The singer shocked everyone (including me) by not only snagging the #1 spot on the Billboard 200 from chart mainstay Susan Boyle but also holding strong at #1 on the Hot 100  for a 2nd week with ‘Tik Tok’. Ke$ha also proved that she is not a one hit wonder when her second single ‘Blah Blah Blah’ debuted at #7 on the Hot 100 this week. Her debut album, ‘Animal’, is in stores now.

Whilst the performance was exactly the same as her last few showings (minus the monster wig), I am sure that Ke$ha has found new meaning in that song. I am yet to get the hype surrounding her but there is no denying her tremendous success on the charts. It looks like that Susan Boyle reign finally let up. Congrats to Ke$ha!

Grammy Award-nominated singer Melanie Fiona made guested on ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live!’ last evening. The R&B vocalist performed her hit song ‘It Kills Me’ from her debut album ‘The Bridge’. To date, the track has peaked at #49 on the Billboard Hot 100 and #1 on the Hip-Hop/R&B charts.

Fiona did her thing. She sang beautifully and seemed to be really ‘feeling’ the lyrics. Although I am not a fan of the song and consider it to be quite boring, it is great to see a singer with such raw talent on the stage again who does not have to step out on the stage half naked or rely on intricate hairstyles to get attention. Good stuff.

R&B diva Mary J. Blige appeared a guest appearance on ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live!’ last evening. The singer performed ‘I Am’ from for upcoming ‘Stronger With Each Tear’ LP which hits stores on December 21st.

Rising diva Leona Lewis made a guest appearance on ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live!‘ last evening. The singer took the stage to perform the songs ‘Happy‘ and ‘Outta My Head‘ from her new album, ‘Echo‘. As predicted, Lewis’ album has proven to be a commercial failure, debuting at #13 on the Billboard 200 with barely 67, 000 units shipped.

As usual, her vocals were on point but her stage presence was nonexistent. One would assume that given the nature of her album sales, she would have been motivated to give the crowd a bit more fire. Shy or not, she has to come a lot harder than that if she wants to leave an impression on the mass media audience.

Sidebar: How many times is she going to wear the same outfit?! That’s the exact same dress she wore to the AMA’s only this time she wore leggings. No no no, that won’t work!
