Welcome to the latest TGJ Roundtable!

Over the years, That Grape Juice has established a distinguished voice that – whether loved or loathed – sparks discussion, debate, and on occasion drama!

Though comprised of seasoned writers who share a similar outlook on Urban Pop culture, the idiosyncrasies of the TGJ team members often lend for quite heated debates “behind the scenes” about the hottest topics.

Now, we give you a front row seat to the show. In a format similar to ‘The View’ or ‘The Real’, TGJ editors – Sam, David, Rashad, and Joe – get real in a very candid way.

Today’s roundtable topic asks each anchor their thoughts on…

Cranking out hits ‘Just Dance,’ ‘Poker Face,’ ‘Born This Way,’ and more, the songstress and her bevy of dancers not only lit up Houston’s NRG stadium but apparently Twitter as well.  Causing so much chatter among fans, detractors, critics, and fellow performers (as we reported here) reports now indicate Gaga has become the most tweeted about halftime show performer to date.

Surpassing the Twitter stats of ‘Telephone’ co-star Beyonce at last year’s controversial showing with Bruno Mars and Coldplay, tuck in below to see just how many times the word “Gaga” was mentioned over the hours leading to and during the Super Bowl’s airing:

Lady Gaga just served up a seismic spectacle at the 2017 Super Bowl Halftime Show.

The 30-year-old superstar blew the roof off of Houston’s NRG Stadium with a cleverly curated catalogue of classics such as ‘Bad Romance’ and ‘Born This Way.’ She also used the 13-minute showcase to plug tracks from current album ‘Joanne.’

We’re still catching our breath. Re-live the epic-ness after the jump…

‘Saturday Night Live’ welcomed the soulful Alessia Cara to its stage on Saturday night.

There, as her new album ‘Know-It-All’ continues to pull in modest numbers, the vocalist moved the show’s audience with renditions of ‘River of Tears’ and ‘Scars To Your Beautiful.’

Unfamiliar with Cara? We’re hoping that changes today. For, the 20-year-old offers those who give her music a spin the lyricism, soul and artistry which is often missing from releases churned out by her hit-hungry peers.
