The last two weeks have seen category winners change almost hourly. However upon the penultimate cut-off point, the final list saw two “B”s nab a number of a number awards.
Check out the full list of winners below (in bold). Some may surprise:
In case her stint at ‘Superbowl 2013′ and recording contract esque deal with ‘Pepsi‘ didn’t say it loud enough, Beyonce is not playing with promo package for her new LP.
Perhaps hoping to recreate the effect 2003’s ‘Dangerously In Love‘ had on Pop Culture, Camp B have gone one step further to ensure the release is force fed to the masses upon release, reports indicate that she has signed onto to cover Anna Wintour‘s ‘Vogue‘ next March.
The ‘Year Of The Woman’ is nigh!
Fresh from cooling everyone off this Summer with ‘Ice’, Kelly Rowland told us that the track’s follow-up and housing album will both be R&B affairs. A point underlined with new cut ‘Number One’.
Produced by Mike WiLL, the track was previewed during a playback of the hitmaker’s new mixtape ‘Mike WiLL…Est In 1989’. Interestingly, Rowland confirmed that the the cut will also feature on her album.

Gal pals Kelly Rowland and Jennifer Hudson were a hit when Hudson made a guest stop on ‘X Factor UK’ during Rowland’s stint on the show .
Now, this week saw diva duo reunited for Hudson’s feature in ‘Michigan Avenue’ magazine, a Chicagoan publication that shed light on the ‘Spotlight’ singer’s achievements since leaving the Illinois metro.
With Rowland on hand as guest interviewer, read excerpts from the chat below:
The Best You Never Heard is back! After a lengthy rest on the bench, each week will once again see That Grape Juice spotlight an array of little known gems. Featuring picks from the TGJ editorial team, we want to know…who chose the best song! Let us know below…

Despite sending shockwaves through the industry post announcing her “retirement”, soulstress Jazmine Sullivan still found her name etched as a feature on some unfortunately overlooked gems. PJ Morton‘s debut single ‘Built For Love’ was certainly one of those gems. A throwback to a time when real music dominated charts, the ‘Lions Tigers & Bears’ beauty unleashed her melismatic roar over the Morton tune about love on the rocks.
Morton, son of famed gospel singer Bishop Paul Morton, tickles the ivories while the two soar over the 70s-inspired duet. The song was released shortly before it was announced that the crooner had signed with Young Money entertainment

It’s common-knowledge that Ciara’s last studio outing ‘Basic Instinct’ was pretty much a disaster – so much so that she told us she wished it didn’t come out.
However, the project’s poor handling doesn’t mean it didn’t birth some of her best material yet. Case, point ‘Shut Em Up’.
Ironically not featured on the 2010 album’s final tracklist, the cut was one of the many songs leaked and left on the cutting room floor. “Why” is beyond us, as the track was banging!
Produced by Infinity and penned by Soundz, ‘Shut Em Up’ served as an emphatic bite back at all of her critics – doing so over a bouncy beat that thankfully sounded more club-geared, than Pop-star political.
More than anything, the track excels in that anyone can apply the lyrics to their own reality. Too often, those that “can’t” vent by slamming those that “can”. This song tastefully tells them what they can do. {SAM}
Before signing onto serve as Roc Nation’s leading newbie, Rita Ora‘s claim to fame came courtesy of ‘What’s Your Flava’ maestro Craig David.
However, while 2008’s ‘Where’s Your Love’ stands as their most recognizable outing, it’s their 2007 duet that ‘Awkward’ that will undoubtedly surprise any unfamiliar with it. Surprising somewhat is that this is Ora’s voice at just 17 years old, boasting a conviction that some of her older contemporaries are still yet to master. Enjoy below {DAVID}

The 2012 Soul Train Awards, taped live from Las Vegas last month, are currently airing via sister channels BET and Centric.
As ever, That Grape Juice will be providing you with performances as they occur, including stageblazing sets from Keyshia Cole, Ne-Yo, Miguel, and more!
Keep refreshing, as we’ll be updating minute-by-minute:
The premiere season of The X Factor USA brought with it many a twist and turn, as well as a wealth of new talent – one of the most notable being Marcus Canty.
After finishing fourth on the show, the 21 year old was swiftly signed up by mentor LA Reid to join his revitalised Epic Records roster.
The fruit of that union has been R&B bliss, with both of Canty’s singles ‘Won’t Make A Fool Out Of You’ and ‘In & Out’ drumming up ample buzz.
With the Washington DC native hard at work on his debut EP ‘This Is..Marcus Canty’ (due October 30th), we quizzed him on his background, ditching basketball for music, whether he has any fears coming from a talent show, and much more.
Our interview with the young talent awaits after the jump…
That Grape Juice was on-hand at the 2012 Soul Train Awards nominations announcements in New York today. There, the list of those up for coveted awards were read out to selected press outlets.
Without pre-empting too much too soon, most notable of the nominees are R. Kelly and Usher. For, this year’s tally sees both break Soul Train records. With five nominations, Usher blazes past Michael Jackson and Beyonce to earn the honor of most nominations in a single year, while Kelly now boasts the most total Soul Train Award nominations – of all time.
Want to know who else made the cut? The answer awaits after the jump…
And the nominations are in!
Last night saw acts from across all fields of music celebrate the MOBO Awards Nominations party in London, welcoming the likes of Misha B, Tulisa and Brit Pop Princess Rita Ora.
Revealing just who had scored nominations in the ceremony’s categories, the event came months before the official awards night, November 3rd.
So, without further delay, find out who has cause to celebrate below…
Hard to believe 11 years have passed since the music world was shaken with news of R&B starlet Aaliyah‘s untimely passing. Indeed, the then-22 year old – whose career had already seen itself lined with accomplishments – seemed poise to take her career into the stratosphere.
But, that fateful August 25th day saw an unfortunate, other result.
In her wake, the singer has left many adoring fans and an everlasting impression on R&B. And, with news of unreleased tracks from the songstress soon set to make their way to music shelves, it’s safe to say that we have yet to hear the last of the ‘One In A Million’ maestra.
And while the Twitterverse was set alight this morning with faithful fans mourning and celebrating her life, now the stars have joined the salute to this awesome songstress. See who after the jump:
The Queen of Pop Janet Jackson‘s 2008 ‘Rockwitchu Tour’ was a less-than-royal affair: from so-so ticket sales and sickness triggered cancellations, the whole episode felt a bit like unfinished business and left her legion of fans frustrated.
Despite its shortcomings, the trek still boasted many a jaw-dropping moment. Case, point, Janet’s not so subtle rendition of the title track of her tenth album, ‘Discipline’. This week’s the From The Vault salutes her 2010 Essence Music Festival rendition of the cut – which was lifted from the tour.
Written by R&B divo Ne-Yo, the vivid track took on a life of its own thanks to creative director Gil Duldalao‘s vision and Ms. Jackson’s phenomenal performing skills. Other Pop stars may talk about ‘S&M’, ‘Erotica’ or getting ‘Dirrty’, yet few have gone to such committed lengths to illustrate such prowess. A whips and chains galore, Damita Jo disciplines a lucky with her unique blend of what is be best described as ‘classy filth’. An interesting juxtaposition to the song’s lyrics which demand that her lover do the same to her.

With the now 46 year old apparently in the early stages of a new project, we hope she bin her effortless sex-factor, as it is a huge part of her brand. In all fairness, there isn’t justifiable reason she shouldn’t re-explore that angle, given that the Madonna‘s and Tom Jones‘ are playing that card well into their 50’s and 60’s. For, as the video above testifies, Ms. Jackson still oozes sex-appeal in earnest.
Tidbit: Janet was really giving it her all starting at the 5 minutes mark, wasn’t she?
