Lana Del Rey‘s romantic tragedy ‘Carmen’ was brought to life recently, when she performed the Haynie & Basker produced jam for fans in Warsaw.

Wooing her crowd with a live vocal, band and Sun kissed staging, Ms.Rey’s delivery of the song marked one of her strongest to come from her sold out ‘Paradise Tour‘!

Omarion turns up the heat on a brand new cut today, billed ‘Bumpin’ & Grindin’!

Guitar led and produced  TeeFLii, the jam sees him tackle familiar territory- so much so that it’s more generic than a genius. A shame, considering the potential Urban classic that was ‘MIA‘.

Surprising.

For us, the answer to the question above is surprising.

Initially billed as one of the night’s brightest attractions, last night saw Mariah Carey take to the BET Awards only to find her appearance outperformed by the very acts enlisted to help her performance.

Even worse, while the likes of Ciara, Kendrick Lamar and Charlie Wilson scored praise for their contributions to the show, it was Mariah‘s live vocals- or lack of them- that saw her set take the biggest hit.

Though this takes nothing away from her as an icon, it has left many wondering why so little faith has been placed in her star power and voice, that her cause now finds itself strangled by supporting acts who outstay their welcome and prerecorded vocals an act of her calibre should really steer clear from.

So, after watching it here, let us know….

What did you think of her performance?

‘Strip club and dollar bills…’

Without a doubt, Rihanna‘s ‘Pour It Up’ has fast become one of the biggest Urban jams to drop in the last year. It’s for this reason, that this week will reportedly see her drop its music video, after it rocked the charts with sales of over 1 million copies.
