Fans apparently could not wait to get their sights back on NBC’s top rated reality talent show ‘The Voice’ if ratings reports are anything to go by.
Despite a small dip from its season 2 premiere ratings, the hit show still managed to top other shows in its time slot an rake in an impressive 12 million viewers!
But, with news the show plans on extending its reign into 2013 for its first Spring-showing, a certain ‘What a Girl Wants’ singer has expressed to Billboard that she wants out:
Her team may be horrible at handling her singles, but there’s no doubt Nicki Minaj is one of Pop’s strongest competitors when it comes to pushing albums.
For, after watching it surpass sales of 1 million copies worldwide in the space of five months, the Rapper is reportedly reading the reworked version of her record breaking LP ‘Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded‘.
Details below…
She’s the scorching new edition to the Rap pack, rising to fame via the controversial yet well received number ‘PUY‘.
Now, one year after her explosive arrival on the scene, Iggy Azalea readies the release of her debut album ‘The New Classic’, set to launch later on this year.
So, ever eager to serve the content you love, That Grape Juice caught up with the MC days ago for an interview on music, fame, ‘Classic’ and… Azealia Banks.

As the official ambassador for World Humanitarian Day, Beyonce has been at the forefront of this year’s campaign. A campaign, which borrowing from her superstar status and that of fellow chart-toppers such as Lady GaGa, Chris Brown and Kelly Rowland, has made history.

Mariah Carey may be shooting the video for her new single ‘Triumphant’ today, yet that didn’t stop American Idol‘s newest judge from glamming it up for Russell Simmons’ 13th annual Art for Life gala in New York last night.
Accompanied by husband of four years Nick Cannon, the premium diva joined the likes of LA Reid, Babyface, and Melanie Fiona at the star-studded charity event which raised over $2 million for art programmes.

It seems that despite efforts to downplay her commercial prowess, Nicki Minaj just keeps on winning.
The proud maestra of the Multi-Platinum LP ‘Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded‘, the last few months have seen the Rapper enjoy the fruits of her well publicized labor, scoring lucrative deals with Pepsi Co, Giuseppe Zanotti and MAC.
Now find out why Minaj has even more to smile about this week, below…
Iconic! That is fittest of description for this week’s From The Vault pick. Ladies and gents, we salute Britney Spears for her epic showing at MTV‘s 2000 Video Music Awards.
Today marks three years since the passing onto eternity of the late, great King of Pop Michael Jackson.
Ever tragic, in that his demise at age 50 was entirely premature, there’s also a certain sweetness to be sourced from the fact that his impact remains inescapable. Think about it: be it in a commercial, video game, blasting from a car, playing in a store, or even a reference from your favourite artist – the music of Michael Jackson is still a feature of our everyday lives. Literally.
Much ado is made about the words “icon” and “legend” – both of which are used these days with careless “flimsy”. Yet, one needn’t rely on the propaganda of PR spin to know what those words represent. For, put simply, Michael Jackson is the blueprint.
Longtime readers will know that it was Michael’s musicality, vision, and precision that birthed my love for music; and ultimately my desire to share that with the masses via the creation of That Grape Juice five years ago. As such, like millions the world over, MJ occupies a special place in my life personally.
And while classics such as ‘Billie Jean’, ‘Black or White’, and ‘Bad’ are etched in mass consciousness, it’s the lyrics from ‘Unbreakable’ – the opener on Jackson’s 2001 opus ‘Invincible’ – which resonate the most for yours truly:
“You can’t believe it, you can’t conceive it
and you can’t touch me, ’cause I’m untouchable
and I know you hate it, and you can’t take it
You’ll never break me, ’cause I’m unbreakable “
While, in life, an emphatic response to his many critics, the song’s lyrics carry with them a potent new meaning now that he is no longer with us: love it or loathe it, the legacy of Michael Jackson is insurmountable. Indeed, unbreakable.
With that, there is little else to say than: Michael Joseph Jackson, we salute you. We thank you. As generations to come will learn, greatness lives beyond the body.
*******
As the saying goes, greatness lives forever. And just as he did in life, the late Michael Jackson serves as the lead example of this – some 3 years after his passing.
Boasting material and performances that are unquestionably timeless, the King of Pop is set to continue his infinite moonwalk with the 25th anniversary edition of his ‘Bad’ album. A re-packing which, for the first time ever, will see his 1988 tour of the same name released on DVD.
Press release, pics, and trailer after the jump…
The news we’ve all been waiting is finally here.
Yes, after months of speculation, Britney Spears has confirmed that she is to judge alongside Simon Cowell, LA Reid and Demi Lovato on X Factor USA, season 2.
Official release below…
Let’s be honest, aside from being a poor man’s version of Janet‘s ‘Together Again‘, Rihanna‘s ‘Where Have You Been‘ really is all that and then some.
The latest clip in aid of her new album ‘Talk That Talk’, it premiered on Tuesday and follows the release of the record breaking number ‘We Found Love‘.
However, today gave indication that ‘Where‘ is to best ‘Love’s astounding feats.
Why?
It now holds the record for scoring the most views on VEVO in the shortest amount of time.
Details below…
When she isn’t rolling in green, you can be sure to Nicki Minaj in something Pink- whatever the occasion.
However, she took her love for the color to all new heights today- stepping out of her London hotel dressed in the color from head to toe, on her way to her album signing west of the city.
In town in support of the LP, her sighting comes days after her video for ‘Starships‘ was set to drop, prompting fears from fans who have been waiting for the clip since February.
Many thanks to PedSaysOnika.
