‘The Bridge’ beauty Melanie Fiona is still hard at work crossing many-an-outlet in support of her sophomore album ‘The M.F. Life’ (in stores now).  In conjunction with landing two Grammy wins this year and her first top 10 album, the singer forges on to continue collecting career ‘firsts’ as her singles and performances collect critical acclaim.

Most recently checking in with our friends over at The Huffington Post, Miss Fiona imparted performances of some of her fan favorites while also dishing on her admiration for Lauryn Hill, Sade, Bob Marley, and her idol Whitney Houston.

Needless to say, Fiona rocked the house.  Get into the set below:

A renown shade dispenser, Madonna re-affirmed her uncanny ability to dish out that dark stuff on the opening night of her ‘MDNA World Tour’.

Backed by a troop of dancers, the Pop royal put on a live showing that saw her claws sink deeper into megastar Lady Gaga. For, confirming the snowballing speculation, the 53 year old did indeed perform a medley mash-up of ‘Born This Way’ and her song that she claims the former was modeled on ‘Express Yourself’.

And so as to ensure there was no confusion about her dig being a “dig”, the clearly exhausted star followed with ‘She’s Not Me’ from her 2008 effort ‘Hard Candy’.

Peep the action below…

With a career spanning two decades and a plethora of hits under his belt,  it’s safe to say The Dream knows an good act when he sees one.

So, it should come as little surprise to anyone that he openly declared his admiration for long time collaborator Beyonce. A collaborator, he says is the best performer the world has seen since Michael Jackson.

As many a Madonna fan and Little Monster know, the Queen of Pop is set to use her ‘MDNA’ tour set to tribute pop diva Lady Gaga by performing a mashed-up version of the latter’s ‘Born This Way’ with her own ‘Express Yourself’.  Immediately coming under fire after its early 2011 release for sounding nearly identical to Madge’s 1989 hit, Gaga dismissed the claim of copying while her pop predecessor labeled it ‘reductive’.

Now, as audio has surfaced of Madonna’s intent to fuse the twin pop tunes on her latest live trek, we who thought the flame had cooled see it may be readying to reach higher heights.  Is this another case of Kim Vs. Nicki?

Take a listen below and you tell us:

Big-budget videos, a Superbowl Half-time performance, and a giant snowball of hype. All of the aforementioned preceded the release of Madonna‘s latest album ‘MDNA’. And yet the LP has gone on to become one of the star’s worst performing yet.

Indeed, after shifting an impressive 359,000 copies in its first week on sale in the US (a figure boosted by a tour ticket/album combo), the following seven days would see the set make history for all the wrong reasons – after sales dropped a whopping 86%. Since then, the ‘Give Me All Your Luvin” led collection hasn’t fared any better – disappearing from the upper, middle, and bottom echelons of the charts in many a country.

Naturally, then, the blame game begins and it seems first up on the podium is the album’s primary producer William Orbit. The 55 year old Pop maestro, who couldn’t stop professing the greatness of the LP before its arrival, has been rather vocal about why he thinks the album flopped into the fiery pits.

Check out his “interesting” rationale after the jump…

The Holy Land will be the first to see what ‘Dress You Up’ diva Madonna has been cooking up for her highly anticipated ‘MDNA’ tour.  Unlike its like named, accompanying album, the tour is off to a rocking start at the box office (pushing nearly $500 million in sales).

With dates sold out daily, fans of the 53-year-old hitmaker are set to be in for a treat.  We’ve already given you a peek behind the scenes, now get into these new snap’s uploaded to the Material Girl’s Facebook page today.

Looks like she’s breaking out the big guns:

Two days ago, B2K alum Raz B found himself back under the gaze of media when excerpts from his alleged tell all book emerged online.

Excerpts, which made a number of sensational claims regarding his dealings with Chris Brown, Ray J,Bow Wow and his one time band mates.

While That Grape Juice won’t dignify these baseless allegations by shedding any more light on them, we can say they are pretty damning.

So damning, Brown has responded to them via Twitter.

‘Feedback’ beauty Janet Jackson has earned nothing but positive feedback for her July 2012 cover of ‘Prevention’ magazine.  Lending that signature, megawatt smile, the youngest-of-the-Jackson clan is still very much active on behalf of weight loss giants Nutrisystem.

Indeed, the same ‘success’ system that’s slimming the ‘Nasty’ hitmaker back into her washboard abs will see the singer front many campaigns in the coming months.  We can only wish that one of those campaigns would be musical…very…very soon.

Until then, get into Janet’s interview with us here at That Grape Juice.

Your thoughts?

We asked and boy, did you answer.  With a whopping total of over 80,000 votes, the faithful fans of Destiny’s Child, SWV, TLC, and more replied in groves to support their favorites in this showdown.  One of our best yet, we asked ‘who’s the greatest girl group to ever do it’?  In arenas of harmony, influence, and more, you voiced your opinion on who’s who of girl groups.

Sparking quite the debate, did the girl group blueprint The Supremes reign supreme over polls or did the listings see En Vogue victorious?

Without further adieu, the results of the tight race to choose the greatest girl group await:

Last night, in aid of his new album ‘Fortune‘, Chris Brown graced the 2012 Billboard Music Awards with a live rendition of his smash hit ‘Turn Up The Music‘.

However, despite excelling on a dance front, today saw the star come under fire for allegedly ‘miming’ to a pre-recorded vocal as opposed to singing live.

On the receiving end of a series of ‘indirect tweets’ from P!nk and one time collaborator Joe Jonas, Brown and his performance have struck up fresh debate today. Debate, centered around his alleged inability to sing his own songs live.
