Fantasia is on fire!
The powerhouse’s new album ‘Side Effects Of You’ is on-course to become one of the best-selling R&B first-week performers of the year, while its lead single ‘Lose To Win’ continues its ascend on Urban. So as to give the latter an added push, the American Idol stopped by The View to perform the Harmony number and sit down for a chat with the show’s anchors.

Fantasia“s showing on American Idol this week saw many catch the Holy Ghost. However, the ever-humble singer was full of praise for one of her own heroes – judge Mariah Carey.
Fresh from rocking the house with “Lose To Win”, the 2004 Idol champ chatted it up backstage about her performance, new album “Side Effects Of You”, and what Mimi means to music.
Peep the interview after the jump…
While in heavy promotion of his 2010 Grammy-winning joint album ‘Wake Up!’ with hip hop group The Roots, John Legend was tapped by American Express for their popular Youtube-aired ‘AmEx Unstaged’ concert series.
As expected, their segment primarily featuring live renditions of cuts from ‘Wake Up’ – the socially conscious set from Legend and Roots that mainly featured cover songs from the 60s and 70s about social awareness and issues. However, the live set saw Legend lent a helping hand from fellow Grammy winner Jennifer Hudson to cover gospel classic ‘Be Grateful’ (the Hawkins Family).
For Hudson, much like Legend, saw her humble beginnings in the church (gospel) and frequently revisited tunes from the genre in her solo live sets. The combination of Legend and Hudson, however, saw magic unlike much we’ve seen in this electropop dominated music landscape. With Legend on keys and Hudson soaring to the rafters, the crowd sat in awe of the dynamic duo putting their 2010 spin on this gospel gem.
While both singers are due to release albums in 2013, we can’t help but hope the future sees their musical paths cross once more.
Fantasia may have delayed new album ‘The Side Effects Of You’, but that hasn’t stopped the American Idol graduate from hitting the promotional trail in support of the set.
The 28 year provided video juggernaut VEVO a behind the scenes look at the crafting of the project, as well as its lead single ‘Lose To Win’.

Her chances of a musical come back may be a work of fiction, and her tireless efforts to ‘keep it real’ may have made the butt of many an industry joke, but it seems Lil Kim is still keeping hope alive.
Hope, that comes in the form of the alcoholic beverage, Circoc.
Exciting details below!
A graduate of New York’s LaGuardia School Of Music & Arts, Nicki Minaj has risen to become Pop’s most renown Rapper, scoring more US Hot 100 singles than any other Female MC in chart history.
So, by way of her ever engaging public image, FOX’s ‘American Idol’ enlisted the starlet to sit on their Season 12 panel, perhaps hoping to capitalize on her experiences as a Contemporary act.
However, it seems ‘Check My Resume’ singer T-Boz is far from impressed by Idol’s decision to hire Minaj, questioning her ability to judge fresh talent.
