The R&B icon that is Usher most certainly brought the heat to last night’s ‘iHeart Radio Music Festival’, sizzling on stage in ways that have to be seen to be believed.

Indeed, after delivering a number of forgettable performances in the last year, Raymond ensured his would be the name hot on everyone’s lips today with a show we hope teased what fans can expect from his forthcoming ‘The UR Experience’ tour.

Far removed from the experimental era that was ‘Pink Friday:Roman Reloaded‘, Nicki Minaj delivered a praise-worthy live show in Las Vegas yesterday, flaunting her growth as a performer at the ‘iHeart Radio Music Festival.‘

Gliding in and out of impressive yet accessible routines, the rapper delivered a set that saw her finally live up to the music it was set up to support, dishing up faultless vocals and GIF-ready moments to an audience just as enthused by her Rap numbers as they were by her Pop efforts.

Rising above the sea of negativity  she was met with recently is ‘Universal’ star Ariana Grande, who rocked the ‘iHeart Radio Music Festival’ in spectacular fashion yesterday evening.

There, during a set many will agree stood as one of the night’s best, the ‘Problem‘ beauty joined rapper Nicki Minaj, with whom she performed the single ‘Bang Bang.’

Why we’re hoping they bring this performance of the cut to this season of the ‘X Factor UK’?

It’s only been a day since comedienne/CBS ‘The Talk’ star Sheryl Underwood took the net by storm for alleging that she turned down an offer to participate in the hit stand-up film ‘Queens of Comedy’ due to its stars Sommore, Laura Hayes, and Adele Givens bad-mouthing her on a conference call.  But, it looks like a day was all that was needed for claws and clap backs to come out.

As previously reported, Underwood’s confession brought with it a gripping message of inspiration and perseverance against the odds.  Some comedians, namely Givens, Hayes, and Rickey Smiley, think Sheryl may be the one who needs to get a grip.

Each taking to public platforms to offer their 2 cents to the damning recount, the three have jointly fanned an already stable fire.  We see now it’s no laughing matter with these entertainers:

Are you as ready as we are for NBC’s ‘The Voice’ season 7?

With the addition of producer extraordinaire Pharrell Williams and ska queen Gwen Stefani presiding as the season’s resident blonde bombshell (in place of Christina Aguilera & Shakira), the spice factor has gone through the roof.  As excitement for the show’s Monday (September 22) premiere heats up, the dynamic foursome look to bring that anticipation to a boil with a recently unveiled performance of No Doubt‘s hit ‘Hella Good.’

Fans of August Alsina will be breathing a sigh of relief after today, after the R&B star popped back upon social media following a scary spell in hospital.

As reported, the ‘No Love’ singer was rushed to the emergency room on Monday evening after collapsing and falling off stage while performing in Manhattan. The cause was established as a seizure, yet – unbeknownst to fans and the media – the New Orleans native had been in coma for three days.

On a talent tip, the likes of Katy Perry and Rihanna fail to hold a light to Lady GaGa.

Alas, thanks to a number of well publicised creative missteps in 2011, the ‘Paparazzi‘ hit maker now finds herself tasked with crawling back on the pedestal the success of debut album ‘The Fame’ handed her in 2008.

Now, she finds herself in the shadows of the chart-rocking ladies above.
