madonna-body-of-evidence

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

Today, we return to 1993 to revisit Madonna‘s erotic thriller ‘Body of Evidence.’

Directed by Uli Edel, the movie tells the tale of a young woman named Rebecca Carlson who is charged with the murder of a wealthy man.

His cause of death? Erotic asphyxiation.

What happens when the lawyer enlisted to represent her in court finds himself trapped in her deep, dark and dirty web.

Whitney Houston‘s hologram made headlines this week when a planned duet with Christina Aguilera was cancelled at the 99th hour.

Initially billed as a surprise showing on next week’s finale of The Voice, the pre-recorded segment “leaked” online shortly before news of its TV axing was made public.

The Whitney Houston Estate praised both Aguilera and the show, but rested their decision to pull the performance on the fact that the technology in-place did not do the late singer justice. [Editor’s note: it looked great conceptually, but it was painfully clear that a body double was used]

Now, Aguilera is speaking up and out on the would-be collaboration…

Puff Daddy (as Diddy wants to be known as again) has re-assembled the troops.

As reported, the mogul has reunited the Bad Boy clan for a reunion tour.

Tickets for the Stateside arena trek went on sale today and, to amplify buzz, the 90s collective took over the Today Show Summer Concert Series.

Surrounded by fans keen to bask in the nostalgia, Puffy rocked the house with a number of cuts including ‘It’s All About The Benjamins.’

The latter saw him joined by the Queen Bee Lil Kim.

‘Chains’ singer Nick Jonas breaks it all the way down with a surprisingly head-nodding worthy bop on Sesame Street of all places.

The innuendo ridden song, titled ‘Check That Shape,’ is made its way onto Sesame Street’s official Youtube page earlier this week and has since become a viral Internet sensation.  But, just in case you’re one of 3 people who have yet to see what the fuss is about, check it out below:

Readers of That Grape Juice know what avid music lovers we are – especially of hits past.

So, as our retrospective features ‘From the Vault’ and ‘TGJ Replay’  allow us the chance to re-spin the gems and jams of yesterday of one artist, our newest feature Chart Rewind – a variation of our current Retro Rewind assay – accedes salutes to an entire era of music history.

This week it’s all about Grammy winning R&B diva Mya.  The singer/songwriter saw her Sisqo-penned debut single, ‘It’s All About Me,’ make quite the splash on the Hot 100’s top 10 in mid-May 1998.  Jumping to the #6 spot, the tune would continue enjoying its peak run there this week that year.  The mid-tempo groove served as ample introduction to the triple threat songstress, whose seductive coo and fancy footwork would see her dance up the charts a number of times in the late 90s and early 2000s alongside the eras leading R&B teen sensations Brandy, Monica, and Aaliyah.

While the musical landscape has shifted from the Urban-dominated charts of the late nineties and early noughties, we still reminisce on the time where it was nothing to hear ‘All About Me’ bumping from radio speakers.  Oh, the good old days (sigh).

Look below to find out who accompanied Mya on this week’s Hot 100 from 1998…
