Eminem and Rihanna are warming up the masses for their Summer ‘Monster Tour’.

The pair offered a preview of what to expect from the trek during their set at day one of Lollapalooza 2014 in Chicago last night.

Slim Shady, who headlined the bill, brought out Slim Talent to perform ‘Stan’ in the absence of original singer Dido.

Perhaps Em hasn’t heard the monstrous vocals that have flown out of RiRi’s mouth over the years. Because, it’s clear she was far from equipped to do the track justice. Indeed, at points, she sounded like she was sleeping.

Mariah Carey seemingly vanished when her album, ‘Me. I Am…Mariah. The Elusive Chanteuse’, did the same on the charts upon its release back in May.

Naturally, the diva’s unexplained absence from the spotlight led many to believe that the plug had been pulled on the disaster campaign. After all, if no one’s buying, then no one’s making money. And if the latter isn’t occurring, then labels won’t spend. Point, blank, period.

However, the singer’s fans needn’t fret. For, according to Mimi, there’s more to come.

Like the antics on the pitch, the musical aspect of the Brazilian World Cup has been action-packed.

Indeed, though Pitbull, Jennifer Lopez, and Claudia Leitte‘s ‘We Are One’ was christened the soccer competition’s “official anthem”, most preferred the unofficial offering by Pop superstar Shakira.

So much so was the magnetic pull to her song ‘La La La’ that organisers FIFA seemingly had no choice but to draft her in to perform at today’s Closing Ceremony.

So, after all the ado, how did she fare? Find out below…

First introduced to fans via his ‘A.D.H.D’ EP, the song welcomed the release of its music video via ‘Hot New Hip Hop’, and- while unlikely to break any musical ground- will satisfy any in love with Urban Contemporary sounds launched by Chris Brown, Kid Ink and ‘2 On‘ singer Tinashe.

No doubt the inspiration behind ideas launched by Lady GaGa, Nicki Minaj and Charli XCX, Gwen Stefani’s short-lived solo career went a long way to steer Pop towards its current destination, with her signature look and sound still wooing and wowing audiences almost a decade after it wrapped.

Now it seems that star hankers for another slice of Pop pie, calling on Christina Aguilera‘s manager, Irving Azoff, to add both she and band ‘No Doubt’ to his client list!

When placed next to R&B it girls old and new, Sevyn Streeter stands as one of her genre’s more promising acts, boasting an authentic crossover appeal her Chris Brown-backed ‘It Won’t Stop’ continues to benefit from.

Indeed, while a number of her genre’s newbies vie to become the next Aaliyah while only getting as far as Cassie, it’s safe to say that with enough radio backing and a sizeable enough budget, Sevyn may just become the world renown R&B star the last decade has been missing.

Why we can’t enough of the former ‘Rich Girl’?
