It’s the eve of the release of R. Kelly‘s latest album ‘The Buffet,’ but instead of dishing up performances, the Pied Piper is serving up his frustrations.

In a video posted to his Facebook page tonight, the R&B veteran squarely takes aim at his team for what he deems a “lack of support.” He also called on Urban consumers to make their voices heard by buying Urban music in the way Pop supporters do for mainstream releases.

Well, hello Mimi!

Mariah Carey cut a killer figure as she performed at the first of several Christmas shows at New York’s Beacon Theater.

After cleaning house and enlisting an entirely new team earlier this year, a revitalised Mariah has spent much of 2015 embracing new ventures (see: Vegas and MAC), while building on the strength of established mainstays – Christmas being one of them.

Beyond the NYC concerts, the 45-year-old is gearing up for the December 19th premiere of her Hallmark Holiday movie ‘A Christmas Melody’ (which she both stars in and co-produced). She’s also set to perform as part of a one-hour special that will air immediately following.

As for last night’s showing, jury’s out on whether she matched her glowing look with glowing vocals, but – based on new clips – things are sounding promising.

See what we mean below…
