Despite the drama used to launch it, this season American Idol has rightfully seen talent at the forefront.

One of the most noted among this year’s hopefuls is Candice Glover, who tackled judge Mariah Carey‘s now-classic duet with Whitney Houston ‘When You Believe’ on last night’s episode.

And while Mimi songs are notoriously difficult to sing (sometimes even for Mariah herself), not only did Glover hold her own, she earned a standing ovation from the entire panel and left legend Mariah in tears.

The “moment” also saw the iciness between Nicki Minaj and Mimi melt (if only for a minute), with the Young Money star gushing about what the song and divas like Mariah and Whitney mean to her.

From the streets to, to the charts, to the boardroom, Jay-Z‘s ascend is one of the most pronounced realizations of The American Dream in the modern era. As such, it comes as little surprise that the Roc Nation mogul has been named one of Time Magazine‘s ‘Most Influential People In The World’.

The brilliance of R&B’s revival in recent years lies in the variety that has come along with it.

For, as Trey Songz and Willie Taylor succeed in peddling the ‘grown and sexy’, the likes of Frank Ocean continue to carve out more personal lanes, breathing life into the genre with messages and melodies that transcend genre for the first time in a long time.

Joining them in taking the genre back to the top comes Elijah Blake, the Grammy winning singer/songwriter whose ways with words has seen him pen cuts for Britney Spears, Kylie Minogue, Usher, Rihanna and ‘DUI‘ vocalist Ciara.

Now, in shining a light on the genius that caught Jay Z‘s ear no more than two years ago, we’re sharing just two of our favorite songs from the star. One of them, being his Keyshia Cole ‘Wonderland‘ duet and his very own ‘Talk To Me’.
