Ever keen on keeping the masses abreast of fresh and/or often underrated talent, That Grape Juice presents ‘The Spill’ – a renewed look at not-so-new, yet active, acts.

Much like its ‘Freshly Squeezed’ sister segment, this revived assay aims to put the magnifying glass on talents who may not appeal to the buying public on a broad scale yet are still serving material that could easily spin side-by-side with some of today’s top hits.

Covering a kaleidoscope of genres, ‘The Spill’ is set to feature some names you probably know and love as well as some you’ll (soon) be glad to know.  Click below to find out the spill on former B2K frontman Omarion.

Let’s face it, for many a seasoned act- moving numbers in a ‘singles’ dominated market can at times be a mission impossible.

Fortunately for Pink, she isn’t one of those acts, standing as one of Pop’s highest selling stars more than a decade after her R&B flavored debut.

Though they may strike Gold on the Hot 100, it’s become increasingly apparent that the likes of Pitbull, Flo Rida and Rihanna are anything but the mega sellers their countless #1 singles should make them.

Instead, while they don’t always ‘soar’ when it comes to singles, the likes of Jay Z & Drake continue to stand as music’s real winners, renown for shifting albums…in abundance.

Now find out how they, Kanye West and ‘End Of Time’ singer Beyonce are leading this year’s chart pack with their latest releases below…

The X Factor 2012 aired its ninth Live Show this evening. This portion of the talent search sees the contestants’ ability showcased before a live audience – with an act being sent home each week.

Judging the hopefuls are new additions Gary Barlow, Tulisa Contostavlos, original panelist Louis Walsh, and newcomer Nicole Scherzinger.

Her chances of a musical come back may be a work of fiction, and her tireless efforts to ‘keep it real’ may have made the butt of many an industry joke, but it seems Lil Kim is still keeping hope alive.

Hope, that comes in the form of the alcoholic beverage, Circoc.

Exciting details below!

This week’s That Grape Juice ‘Cover Star‘ comes from Youtube trio SChAE (Sisters Christine Angel & Ella). Watch as the US natives sizzle on a stripped down version of Alicia Keys’ latest hit ‘Girl On Fire’ below:

Sing Sang girls!!  Indeed, to say that SChAE sang that would almost be an understatement to what the brought to the tune.  Rolling across the song’s more challenging parts with ease, the trio (especially the lead songstress) certainly presented some voices to be reckoned with.  Accompanied by flawless harmony, it’s safe to say that these girls truly are on fire!

The release and subsequent chart performance of Christina Aguilera‘s ‘Lotus’ has brought with it fresh debate about one of Pop’s most pronounced polarizers.

Indeed, while many warm to the star’s powerful voice and shameless “diva”, others have seemingly hung up their ‘Dirty’ chaps (as well as their support for the singer) – pledging allegiance instead to today’s crop of younger talent (see: Rihanna, Ke$ha, Katy Perry and co).

Ever keen to plough through the smoke, mirrors, and media malice, we hit the streets of Hollywood to find out what the masses really think of Xtina.

Hit ‘PLAY’ to watch…‘The Word On…Christina Aguilera’. As ever, be sure to let us know what you think below!

The episode saw the 35 year old rehearsing confirmed new single ‘Love & War’ in view of record executive husband Vince Herbert and acclaimed songwriter LaShawn Daniels.

Watch below as she surprises (for all the right reasons)…

Pint-sized powerhouse JoJo is gearing up for the release of new mixtape ‘Agape’ on December 20th. Hence, so as to amplify the already buzzing buzz, the Boston native has unwrapped another cut from the project – ‘Andre’.

A homage of sorts to OutKast’s Andre 3000 and his 2003 solo(ish) effort –‘The Love Below’, the flavoursome song makes for an intriguing listen. Tuck in after the jump…
