The full winner’s list awaits inside:

Just weeks after watching their duet, ‘Hold Me Closer,’ enter the Billboard Hot 100’s top 10 to historic measure, Elton John and Britney Spears have finally unleashed the official music video for the tune.
Shot in Mexico City, the Tanu Muino-directed visual is laden with choreography – but not from Britney as she nor Elton appear in the clip. A compilation of stunning and colorful visuals, the pace of the visual’s vibrant dancers is only matched by the city’s scenery.
Speaking on the magical experience, Muino said:
“Going into this video, I knew there would be a lot of emotional expectations the audience and fans would have. With this responsibility, I had to do something different and unexpected. The visuals had to be different. The dance had to be forward-thinking to raise eyebrows and make Elton and Britney proud. To capture this magic, we shot around all my favorite architectural locations in Mexico City and brough ton choreographer Jacob Jonas who does the best contemporary choreography today. Getting the best dancers, crew, and access to some of the most private locations in the world was simple as everyone wanted to work with Elton John and be part of his legacy.”

While ‘Barbie Dreams’ hitmaker Nicki Minaj has promised to turn life into a nightmare for detractors who speak falsehoods on her name on the Web (see: blogger Nosey Heaux), a popular YouTuber is taking a page from the GRAMMY nominee’s book and taking aim at her beloved fans – the Barbz.
Details inside.
‘Talk to Me’ hitmaker Tory Lanez can expect to be talking to the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) soon for his role in an alleged attack on R&B singer August Alsina.
As we reported here, Alsina took to the net to say he was assaulted by the “receding haired leprechaun” backstage at a concert over the weekend and uploaded bloodied photos of himself as proof of the altercation.
When news began to circulate about the fight, which is rumored to stem from beef between the performers regarding comments Tory allegedly made about August’s Jada Pinkett-Smith “entanglement,” the Canadian rapper (born Daystar Peterson) took to social media to deny the claims – later doubling down on the assertion via an interview with DJ Akademiks Sunday (September 18).
“I don’t even know what this kid is talking about, brother,” he told DJ before saying, “…I don’t know if he’s doing promo. I don’t know what that n*gga is talking about, brother.”
Not even a day later, video footage surfaced that suggests a story different from that of Lanez’ – a circumstance that’s caught the attention of the LAPD.
JoJo is known for serving the vocals every time she graces the microphone, and this time it is no different.
The acclaimed vocalist shared her most recent live performance. This time around, it is a rendition of Lizzo‘s hit song ‘2 Be Loved.’
Anchored by her strong vocal performance, the tune is complete with a guitar and two backup singers.
Lizzo’s ‘2 Be Loved’ served as the second single from her ‘Special’ album, which also featured the #1 hit ‘About Damn Time.’
As for JoJo, the live performance of ‘2 Be Loved’ comes shortly after she shared a live showing of her song ‘Spiral Szn.’

This week’s From The Vault pays homage to one of the greatest albums of the contemporary era – Mariah Carey‘s ‘Butterfly’ ahead of its 25th anniversary.
Today’s pick is one of its anchoring singles, ‘My All.’
Rolled out as the fifth single from Mimi’s sixth studio LP, the soaring ballad was both written and produced by the songbird alongside her longtime collaborator Walter Afanasieff.
Lyrically, the track tackles the topic of deep infatuation and the feeling of wanting to risk it all for a night of passion with “the one.”
Vocally, as is trademark, Carey took flight and launched into melismatic magnificence.
The masses were magnetized and lifted the song to #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and the top 10 of tallies across the globe – including #4 on the Official UK Singles Chart.
Shot in Puerto Rico, the song’s monochrome video was lensed by Herb Ritts and showcased the diva enchanted by her love interest. A literal take, of sorts, on the cut’s lyrical narrative.
****************
Beyond her powerful pipes, one of Carey’s main attraction talents is her ability to lasso listeners with compelling storytelling and vivid visuals.
As the 25th anniversary of ‘Butterfly’ approaches, we can’t but be filled with all sorts of appreciation for this legendary chanteuse.
While Beyonce fans wait with bated breath for live performances from her ‘Renaissance’ album, other artists are placating with their own interpretations.
And Camila Cabello is the latest.
The Pop starlet took to the stage at Rock in Rio 2022 and delivered a rousing set.
During her showing, the 25-year-old served up a performance of Queen Bey’s ‘Energy.’

DaBaby may have an uphill battle on his hands clawing back his commercial clout after a close brush with total cancellation last year, but it appears the MC has found time to muse on others. Namely Megan Thee Stallion.
