It’s not often the world enjoys iconic pairings akin to that of Mary J. Blige’s and Prince’s.

Performing Prince’s Sinead O’Connor performed ‘Nothing Compares To You’, this performance is definitely one for the books.

Today, From The Vault salutes R&B angel Aaliyah and her smash hit ‘We Need A Resolution’.

Unleashed as the launch single of her 2001 eponymous release, ‘Resolution’ saw the singer collaborating yet again with Pop maestro Timbaland, who – long before sending the likes of Justin Timberlake and Nelly Furtado to the top of the charts – was a major driving force in the career of his “Baby Girl”

A moderate hit, it still reached the Top 20 of the UK charts and peaked at #15 on the US Billboard R&B/Hip-Hop tally. Yet, what the song is most notorious for is its accompanying video, which houses some of the late singer’s most glorious and iconic looks.

From the dangerous dancing with snakes to the glass-bed levitation, the Paul Hunter-directed MV is an incredible reminder of Ms. Haugton’s status as the then-next big superstar. Unfortunately, as we know, things did not pan out that way…

Just like fellow entertainers such as Amy Winehouse and actor James Dean, who also dissapeared at far too young an age, Aaliyah is regarded today as one of the best to ever do, a title that’ll no doubt continue to be reinforced in years to come. Especially with a new generation of starlets citing her as an inspiration.

Still, we want to ask you:

How do you think Aaliyah’s career would have turned out?

 Whichever way you look at it, male entertainer’s don’t get much better than Usher.

Leading the pack for now almost two decades and enjoying recent successes with his ‘Looking For Myself’ LP, the influential vocalist remains one of his genre’s strongest contenders.

Now peep his prove the above during his set at the ‘iHeartRadio’ Festival, where he performed the budding hit ‘Euphoria’ below…

With her first #1 album set to arrive in a few days time, Pink proved her worth as one of Pop’s premium performers at ‘iHeart Radio‘ festival hours ago.

Delivering live renditions of ‘Raise Your Glass’, ‘So What’ and ‘F*cking Perfect‘, it’s her performance of ‘Blow Me’ that we’d say marked one of her better outings.

After peaking at #1 in the UK and Scotland, ‘Facemelt’ starlet Rita Ora has taken her debut LP ‘ORA‘ to Australia, in a bid to push the project in the welcoming market.

Arriving in the country last week, today saw the above snap emerge from her travels- which saw her make nice with a snake in Sydney.

As a result of her trip, the mezzo-soprano now enjoys a #15 chart spot with her launch single ‘RIP’ while its supporting album enjoys a peak position of #24, likely to rise as her global promo efforts intensify.
