Unfortunately for them, not everyone can move like the Janet‘s and Beyonce‘s of the world.

So, just to ensure these performers are made aware of their ‘choreographed’ shortcomings, our friends over VH1 have forged a tally of acts who they believe are ‘Good Singers‘ but ‘Bad Dancers’.

To be honest, once you see some of the performers who made the list, you’ll understand why we’d say a few of them are bad at both.

In a true testament to her spot as Pop’s top polarizer, Rihanna has etched her name in the That Grape Juice history book. For, less than a week after releasing new single ‘Diamonds’, the song’s accompanying post has generated an unprecedented 1800 comments. Again…

One Thousand Eight Hundred Comments!

 

Approaching our 6th year online, the figure marks the most number of comments on a single TGJ post to date, and further cements That Grape Juice as the most active Urban Pop community on the ‘net.

Love her or loathe her, this 24 year old certainly has folk talking that talk. Trust us, we know!

Earlier this year, reports emerged teasing a duet between Adele and the producers of the upcoming ‘James Bond’ flick on a hotly anticipated cut for the release.

Now, weeks before she’s set to give birth, the ‘Rumor Has It‘ gem has confirmed these reports. Reports, which accurately revealed she was to join the long list of stars to record an ‘official’ theme tune for the action series.

Pink may finally be getting her props on home-soil, yet she’s always been celebrated for the force she is in Australia. So what better way to thank her fans Down Under than with a rousing set on the country’s version of ‘The Today Show’.

Backed by a full band, the Covergirl rocked out to cuts from her chart-topping album ‘The Truth About Love’.

Watch her performances of ‘Blow Me (One Last Kiss)’, ‘True Love’, and fan-favourite ‘Who Knew’, below…

Her stock as a celeb may have dipped since leaving the X Factor, but the same can’t be said about Cheryl Cole on an ‘aesthetic’ front.

For, as the above snap will attest to, Ms.Cole stakes her claim as one of Pop’s leading lookers in a new ad for ‘L’Oreal’s Elnett.

The pics arrive two days before the launch of her ‘A Million Lights Tour’ in Belfast, Ireland and wraps the campaign two weeks later at Newcastle’s Metro Radio Arena.

Her fan base may go by the ‘Navy’, but it was the army Rihanna was channeling in LA last night on her way into LAX airport.

Heading back to NYC after a day long trip, the ‘Battleship’ belle was casually dressed as she stepped out of her vehicle and rushed to catch her flight, reportedly unable to sign autographs for fans with only fifteen minutes to spare.

For the last two years, much ado has been made about Christina Aguilera‘s notable weight gain. Indeed, after spending much of her career as a petite Pop star, recent times have seen Aguilera sport a more voluptuous figure.

Predictably, the singer’s curvier frame has become a public Hot Topic; with some defending her right to be her, while others charge that Pop stars are ultimately selling products (“themselves”) and should put their best foot (or in this case, “weight”) forward.

Never one to hold her tongue, Xtina has addressed the issue head-on in the latest edition of Billboard magazine. Lets just say, her response makes for an intriguing and telling read.

Her words after the jump…

With Urban Twitter still buzzing about Starboy Nathan‘s entering and eventual axing from The X Factor UK, the singer has taken to Youtube to explain himself.

Check out what he had to say above.

 ***********

Emotional stuff.

That said, as an act who has been on the scene for 7 years plus, Nathan should have known it was a terrible move. Going on a show that sees ousted contestants auto-branded “X Factor reject” by the press should have not just been “a” red flag, it should have been “the” red flag. Sadly, it wasn’t. Everything isn’t for everyone, and after such public knock-backs, one has to wonder if the dream Nathan’s chasing is Usain Bolt’ing on him.

Sigh…

That Grape Juice was in the house tonight at the Atlanta-hosted 2012 BET Hip Hop Awards when, according to sources, the ‘Biggest Bawse’ Rick Ross was involved in a backstage altercation with ‘F.A.M.E.’ hitmaker Young Jeezy.

As fans know, the two have long been rumored to have been in an ongoing beef.  That, however, reached an all-time high at tonight’s Hip Hop Celebration where there was reported “pushing and shoving”.  The details await below…

She may receive little to no love at any award ceremony nowadays, but that didn’t stop Lil Kim from hitting Life Nightclub in Atlanta, following the ‘BET Hip Hop Awards’ last night.
