Cop a gander of Fantasia and Christina Aguilera.

The vocal wonders took a moment to mingle backstage at the Frank Sinatra tribute gig they performed at this week in NYC.

Surely we’re not the only ones salivating for a collaboration? It may not be the most obvious of pairings, but there’s no denying that they’d deliver something dynamite with the right song. Oh how we long for the days when great artists could team up without the “politics.”

Hopefully, given that they’re on the same label, our wish is granted.

In any case…

Fleur East brought both electricity and ferocity to her first showing at the Capital FM Jingle Bell Ball last night.

Strutting the promotional trail in support of new album, ‘Love, Sax and Flashbacks’ (which hit stores this week and is currently within the top 10), the Londoner lit up the O2 Arena with a dynamite showing of hit single ‘Sax.’

Backed by her trusty troop of dancers, East continues to show and prove why she’s one of The X Factor‘s most exciting prospects in years!

Oh, if…only he knew his viral video would be a gateway to dreams come true, we’re sure Patti Labelle fan-turned-sidekick James Wright (aka Chanel) would’ve made that video sooner.

But, as opportunities pour in, it’s proving Wright may have picked just the right time.  Evidence of such has been further lent by the recent announcement the aspiring singer is set to team with his idol for a holiday cooking special to air on The Cooking Channel!

If Jill Scott was looking to end her year on a high note she certainly succeeded with ‘Back Together’ – the latest gem lifted from her #1 album ‘Woman.’

A statement piece to say the least, the visual that accompany the number features a cameos from the Complexions Contemporary Ballet ensemble and Donna Vaughn – the principal dancer of Broadway’s ‘The Lion King.’

Inspired by Scott’s son, Jett, get into “Back Together” below and share your thoughts? (more…)

Trey Songz hasn’t been rocking the charts of late. Still, undeterred, the Virginia native is instead flexing his acting muscles.

Despite ascending to dizzying heights with ‘Fancy,’ Iggy Azalea finds herself in the most tricky of predicaments.

Largely written off by cultural critics, the femcee is tasked with showing and proving with her sophomore set ‘Digital Distortion.’

Taking to Twitter today, she shared a snippet of a new track.

Rihanna is currently taking fans on a merry-go-round with the Samsung sponsored roll-out of her new album ‘ANTI.’

Yet, Team Fenty may have to pick up the pace pronto if they don’t want the slow-go to affect the LP’s accompanying tour.

Oh Usher.

Rihanna may be catching the most flack for a messy album roll-out, but she certainly isn’t the only one.

The ‘OMG’ singer has left fans screaming exactly that after scrapping his ‘UR’ album last year.

Preceded by a slew of singles, including ‘Good Kisser’ and ‘She Came To Give It To You,’ the set’s release was dashed into disarray when neither song caught on commercially.

Oddly, even when he did stumble on a hit in the form of ‘I Don’t Mind’ (which almost made top 10 on the Billboard Hot 100), the 37-year-old didn’t use it as a springboard to release a body of work. Instead, he hit the road and has been recording.

Formal updates have been scarce. However, during a visit to the Ellen show this week, Mr Raymond was squarely asked about the status of the project. He replied that it’s “buffering” and will arrive shortly.

Check out the interview, in which he spills on his recent marriage, below…

‘Rumor Has It’ hitmaker Adele saw rumors swirl about the second week performance of her triple platinum new album ’25.’  Indeed, after the set shifted a mammoth 3.38 million units its first week (and smashed history books along the way), industry analysts began projecting its second week would see it move an additional 850,000 units – a prediction later revised upward to 1 million.

Well, that projection has gone from rumor to reality.

While the final numbers are not set to be revealed until Sunday, December 6th, official reports have already surfaced that as of 2pm EST today the diva’s latest opus did pass the 1 million sold threshold.  As a result, it becomes the first album ever to sell 1 million copies in two separate weeks.  This, just as the album’s leading tune, ‘Hello,’ greets another week at the top of the Hot 100.

That Adele reign simply will not let up!  See the top 20 of this week’s Hot 100 below:

Sadly, actually being able to sing isn’t a prerequisite for being a “singer” these days. Thankfully, though, there are still names flying the flag for the talent. Case in point Tori Kelly.

The 22-year-old has been on a crusade of sorts this year introducing the masses to vocal pipes that could dazzle even the harshest of critics.

Kelly’s campaign continued this week, pulling into the ‘Ellen’ studio. Having wowed with current single ‘Hollow,’ she also delivered a dynamite showing of fan-favorite ‘Should’ve Been Us’ – both of which feature on her debut album ‘Unbreakable Smile.’
