One week ago, the divas of Destiny’s Child shocked the music community when they reformed for a surprise performance at the 2015 Stellar Awards.

Michelle Williams spearheaded the showing of ‘Say Yes’ and was joined by her singing sisters Beyonce and Kelly Rowland for the rousing showing.

Moments ago, the HD showing of the performance was broadcast on TV One.

Today’s From The Vault comes courtesy of Ciara and her T-Pain assisted jam ‘Go Girl’.

Released at the end of Summer 2008, the track was produced by the King of Autotune who was also featured on the track. It was announced as the lead single of Ciara’s then upcoming LP ‘Fantasy Ride.’ Sadly, it didn’t live up to the beauty’s previous charts credentials, and spent a sole week on the Billboard Hot 100 at #78. It fared better on the R&B/Hip-Hop tally where it reached the 26th position.
Still, because of the single’s so-so performance, it was deemed a “buzz single” and was replaced as the official first single by the Justin Timberlake-assisted ‘Love Sex Magic’ the subsequent year.

Still, it’s not always about numbers. A point highlighted by the track’s impeccable video.

Melina Matsoukas directed the edgy visual which pictured CiCi as a naughty secretary as well as a bionic woman. Evidently, with this being a visual to a Ciara upbeat track, choreography was a focal point and as always, the performer pushed the envelope with slick and precise dancing. Beyond the execution, the actual moves were both creative and intricate and further cemented Ci as a performing force.

Say what folk will about the singer, but throughout her decade plus career she has blessed the industry with some of the most compelling music visuals in the “Pop” arena. No matter the budget attached to them, whether over-the-top or understated, she and her creative team have the uncanny ability to consistently come up with entertaining videos which are rich in replay value. From ‘Goodies’ and ‘Work’ to ‘Body Party’ and ‘I Bet,’ Ciara is the example of an artist actually working on their craft and still as hungry – if not more – than when they burst into the scene. A trait we have the utmost respect for.

You Go, Girl! Pun intended.

It’s the season of celebration, as such Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon aren’t letting their current divorce proceedings dent the Easter festivities for their three year old twins, Monroe and Moroccan.

Carey, whose Las Vegas ‘#1’s’ show kicks off next month, shared the snap above of herself with her ex and their energized youngsters on an Easter egg hunt.

Great to see the two coming together for the sake of the children.

If fantasy and reality aligned, it’s unlikely Olivia Pope and Michelle Obama would be on the same page.

In the realm of the real, though, Kerry Washington (who plays Pope on political drama ‘Scandal’) is quite pally with the US First Lady.

Together, the powerful pair team with actress Sarah Jessica Parker to cover the latest issue of Glamour Magazine.

The trio are actively pushing their charitable endeavours and look mighty fly doing so!
