From The Vault journeys back to the year 2003, when a certain rising diva was releasing one of her most acclaimed tracks.

This week’s pick is Christina Aguilera’s ‘The Voice Within.’

The ballad was the fifth and last single to be serviced from Xtina’s game-changing LP ‘Stripped.’

Christina penned the cut alongside Glen Ballard, who also handled the production.

Because of its inspirational theme, it was compared to the work of the likes of Whitney Houston and especially Mariah Carey – both of whom respectively dominated the airwaves years prior with songs like ‘The Greatest Love Of All’ and ‘Hero.’

Though not as big as its predecessors, the track was a moderate success around the world, peaking at #33 on home-soil and entering the Top 10 in both Canada and the UK, at #10 and #9 respectively.

*******************

After directing the visuals for previous singles ‘Dirrty’ and ‘Can’t Hold Us Down,’ the mighty David LaChapelle handed the reign once again to illustrate the soaring track.

The result was a monochrome, one take affair where the singer left her raunchy persona at the door to reveal herself in a raw, naturalistic manner.

It praised by critics who seriously enjoyed its more stripped back approach and was nominated for various VMAs in 2004.

*******************

We long for the days Ms. Aguilera would be at every opening of a door performing something, somewhere.

With new album ‘Liberation,’ we really thought that by telling the masses that she was back to being a full-time musician that she also meant promoting her music. But obviously we were wrong…

Still, the ‘Liberation Tour’ is something to look forward to, as well as the end of lengthy gaps between projects.

Let’s hope the voice within her keeps her on that very path this time around.

Omarosa is officially ‘Unhinged.’

Infuriated by Donald Trump‘s administration’s decision to fire her, the political character penned a new book (named ‘Unhinged‘) in which she describes her time with him in detail.

Most fascinating? What she found when she dug into claims that he used the N-word on the set of the ‘Apprentice’ and how much she regrets the part she played in deceiving the American people.

Teyana Taylor is a seasoned performer and showed how spicy she can get – even when experiencing a hair malfunction.

During the latest stop of her joint tour with Jeremih, the 27-year-old’s wig flew off while performing ‘Never Would Have Made It’ from her new album ‘K.T.S.E.’

And while that would have served as the apex of awkwardness for some, Taylor took it in her stride and actually incorporated the moment into her performance.

See what we mean after the jump…

Nicki Minaj is full of surprises.

Fresh from uncaging long-awaited album ‘Queen’ yesterday, the rapper has debuted ‘Sorry’ – a new song not featured on the set.

A collaboration with ex-boyfriend Nas, the track samples Tracy Chapman‘s ‘Baby Can I Hold You’ – and thus appears to be the cut that almost saw the entire ‘Queen’ project pushed back.

On the song, the Hip-Hop titans trade verses up about their love for one another and keep it candid about their relationship.

Funkmaster Flex premiered ‘Sorry’ moments ago and now you can listen below…
