Chris Brown is setting sail on a clean-up campaign.

The oft-controversial crooner is gearing up to release a new documentary which invites the masses behind scenes of his chaotic life and career. Aptly, the special is titled ‘Welcome To My Life.’

Featuring carefully curated narrations from C. Breezy and a list of industry friends (including Usher, Jamie Foxx, and Jennifer Lopez), the first trailer for the doc was unveiled moments ago.

Tinashe‘s ‘Joyride Tour‘ made its way to Santa Ana recently.

There, before the unveiling of its parent album of the same name, the rising starlet rocked her audience with a performance of her single ‘All Hands on Deck.’

Much to the surprise of those who’d praised its supporting visual the song bombed on the U.S. charts. However, that’s done all of nothing to stop the promising Urban Pop princess from pushing the cut with performances like the one served up at The Observatory below…

The-Emancipation-Of-Mimi1

For the modern era, commercial comebacks don’t come any bigger than Mariah Carey‘s powerful return to prominence with ‘The Emancipation of Mimi.’

As widely documented, the songbird’s career was in precarious position prior to the April 2005 release.

Mimi’s music had not been flying off the shelves for years. Indeed, the bombastic bombing of 2001’s ‘Glitter’ effectively tombstoned her huge Virgin Records deal and 2002 follow-up ‘Charmbracelet’ (her first release for Island Def Jam), while embraced by critics, did not deliver commercially.

The latter would prove to be the calm before the storm, though. Because, following the one-two punch thrown by ‘Emancipation’s preceding singles ‘It’s Like That’ and ‘We Belong Together,’ Mariah would go on to enjoy one of the hottest streaks of her illustrious career.

She earned her 16th and 17th #1 hits on the Billboard Hot 100, was certified 6x Platinum in the US (sales not streams), and sold 12 million copies of the LP worldwide. Very much a Tina Turner ‘What’s Love Got To Do With It’ moment for the 00s.

Beyond the music, the era was especially memorable for Mariah’s promotional omnipresence and the performances that brought along with it. Join us below as we count down our top  live showings from the ‘Emancipation of Mimi’ era…
