With all the vocal rest Britney Spears gets, it’s little surprise why she seems keen to showcase her powerful pipes.

Yesterday brought with it the Pop star’s 36th birthday and she took to Instagram to celebrate in song.

Spears tackled Elvis Presley’s ‘Can’t Help Falling In Love’ acapella. She told fans:

I’ve always wanted to do a performance like this… singing in a pretty little black dress, with a simple 360, one take shot! I figured since it was my birthday, why not go for it?! So boom ? When the clock struck 12:00, I did it!!! Thank you all for the beautiful birthday wishes, and for letting me do what I love. I appreciate you more than you will ever know!!!!

Welcome to Retro Rewind, the TGJ original feature carved out to celebrate TV and Film’s brilliant past.

On the agenda today? A fresh look at the African-American medical series ‘City of Angels’ and the impact it made in the lives of its stars and audience.

The series followed the dramatic lives of doctors and nurses working in a hospital in Los Angeles and was delivered to CBS by ‘Hill Street Blues’ writer Steven Bocho.

In it, Vivica Fox, Viola Davis, Gabrielle Union, Hill Harper, Maya Rudolph and more delivered moving performances each episode much to the delight of CBS who ordered a second season shortly after its premiere episode hit the ground.

For Davis the show’s run stands as one of the most important points in her life…because it is where she met the man who would go on to become the love of her life.

Let’s take that journey to the past…

K. Michelle is renown for keeping it all sorts of real and that’s exactly what she does on new song ‘Kim K.’

The latest taste of upcoming album ‘Kimberly: The People I Used To Know’ takes aim at the Kardashian clan and the arguable brand of cultural appropriation that they propagate. She sings:

“Wish I could be a Kardashian so I could be black. Put my face over ‘Pac, wear my braids to the back / Throw a filter on that, ’cus ain’t sh*t real / And ain’t shit funny, so f*ck how you feel.”

Taylor Swift has long had a ‘Reputation’ for selling by the bucketload and obliterating any and all competition on the charts.

Performing, however, has been tricky terrain.

In prior times, her candy coated Pop didn’t demand much from her on-stage. Yet, on her own volition, she upped the ante with lead single ‘Look What You Made Me Do’ – a high-octane cut with a choreography driven video.

It immediately had us wondering whether she’d be able to replicate on stage without the benefit of cuts and edits.

The answer arrived last night at the Jingle Ball 2017. See how she fared with the first live showing of the song below…

Ed Sheeran and Beyonce have long expressed their appreciation of each other’s talents. However, even the Brit singer was surprised that Queen Bey agreed to pair up.

Stopping by the ‘Ellen’ show, the 26-year-old opened up about how the hit collab came about.

Unsure if she’d accept his offer, he took a leap of faith and made the call.

Alexandra Burke is amazing on the mic and is proving equally as arresting on the dance-floor.

Oft commanding an audience of 10 million + each week, the show is renown for being a potent promotional platform and the real “win” tends to be for competitors careers.

With Alex readying new material, it’s smart timing. Especially as she’s slaying!
