The search for ‘The Voice UK’ is finally underway!
Already a smash in the US (and its original home of Holland), the show has arrived on British shores by way of the BBC. Coaches this side of the pond are Jessie J, will.i.am, Danny O’ Donoghue, and the legendary Tom Jones.
Billed as the definitive talent-search, many are predicting it to serve as a true contender to The X Factor‘s strong hold.
Judge for yourself below with highlights from tonight’s Live Show episode 9 of series 1 below…
As fans know, Queen of Hip Hop Soul Mary J. Blige was tapped to perform the U.S. National Anthem today at this year‘s annual showdown at the Kentucky Derby. Beaming in a royal red, the singer undoubtedly hope to disprove the naysayers who graded her last stab at the historic number with great mixed review.
Spectators were glued to the Derby to have one question answered: not what’s in the chicken wraps Could Blige best her NBA All-Star performance?
One of few urban acts to ever grace the Kentucky Derby stage, see Mary unwrap a fresh, soulful spin on the historic number below and you tell us :
The big screen revival of stage-play ‘Dreamgirls’ took the movie and music arena’s by wig-snatching storm in 2006.
A potent potion of power anthems and stellar acting, the film earned the honor of being both a critical and commercial success;. Success rewarded amply during the 2007 award season – with the movie winning Best Motion Picture Musical at the Golden Globes and Jennifer Hudson historically bagging Best Supporting Actress at the 80th Annual Academy Awards a month later.
The night of the latter saw Hudson, along with fellow “Dreamettes” Beyonce and Anika Noni Rose serve up a three-song extravaganza which, much like the movie, is a classic.
Here’s hoping the similarly-themed ‘Sparkle’ (starring Whitney Houston) delivers such goods when it arrives in theatres this August.

On a talent tip, their skills couldn’t be any further apart-with one having lots of it and the other renowned for her lack of it.

So now we ask:
The Real Housewives of Atlanta star Sheree Whitfield sent (relative) shockwaves through the reality arena when she announced that she’d be departing the show – effective immediately – last month.
Indeed, while much speculated about, few envisaged there being truth to the whispers.
Breaking their silence on the matter, the show’s housing network Bravo told Wet Paint this week:
“We have enjoyed working with Sheree as part of The Real Housewives of Atlanta. We wish her all the best in the future.”
And there, folks, you have it.
In other Sheree news, her much debated ‘Chateau Sheree’ doesn’t appear to by the sticks and twigs Nene Leakes deemed it. Youtube personality Funky Dineva paid quite the comical visit to the property. What he/she saw awaits below…
