Though her run as a commercial act has never gone unnoticed, there are some who’d agree that Beyonce‘s vocal skill hasn’t always been given the props it deserved despite being the most bankable piece in her career’s puzzle.

So, as to celebrate the star’s ever evolving voice and the songs she’s packaged it in, world renown vocal coach Dileesa Hunter of ‘American Singing Studio‘ has analysed the performer’s instrument in ‘How To Sing Like Beyonce.’

Will you agree with her analysis?

R&B belle Tiffany Evans is back!

Hard at work on a brand new EP, the star returns to the scene with a new visual for the jam ‘Baby Don’t Go‘, featuring former Scandal star Columbus Short.

The clip was directed by the entertainer herself, and boasts creative direction from her husband Lorenzo Henderson.

Is it any good?

We’d say so.

Give it a spin below…

After taking to the press to announce he had broken up with singer Jordin Sparks last year, the entertainer has now blasted her for taking to the same outlets to share her side of the story this week, branding her a liar this morning.

For, after learning Sparks has claimed he had leased a car she says he claims to have bought, the ‘Talk Dirty‘ divo took to ‘Instagram’ to prove that her tale was more fiction than it was fact.

Together they created history and now it appears Lady GaGa and producer RedOne are creating new chapters in the their narrative.

Presently hard at work on the follow-up to her 2013 solo LP ‘ARTPOP’, Mother Monster shared a shot of herself in the studio with Red – much to the joy of her fervent fanbase.

Despite crafting smashes such as ‘Bad Romance’, ‘Just Dance’, and ‘Poker Face’, the duo haven’t worked together since the song ‘Judas’ on GaGa’s mega-selling, yet so-so received ‘Born This Way’ album.

Can the pair re-create the magic that dominated the Pop landscape? We sure hope so!

It’s arguable that Red is to GaGa what Quincy Jones was to Michael (the coach with ability to bring out the best in their talent). As such, fingers crossed they can come up with something that is distinctly “GaGa” with a fresh, compelling twist.

We’re officially excited! Check out some of our favourite GaGa/RedOne moments below…

Oscar nominee Rita Ora shared this snap of herself on ‘Instagram’ minutes ago, striking a pose as she continues work on the roll out for ‘Doing It‘, her brand new jam with the ‘Fancy’ Charli XCX.

The photo was uploaded after the star learned she had become an Oscar nominated performer  and a BRIT Awards 2015 contender on the very same day, nabbing the enviable noms thanks to music she recorded the movie ‘Beyond the Lights‘ and her forthcoming US debut album.

Your thoughts?

FOX‘s freshman smash ‘Empire’ is the show on everyone’s lips…and for good reason.

The music-drama serves up a potent package of sass, drama, glamor, and jaw-dropping storylines revolving around the Lyon family – anchored by Luscious (Terrence Howard) and Cookie (Taraji P. Henson).

Next week sees the action continue in episode 3 of season 1. Check out a sneak peek preview below…
