As one of  Pop biggest acts, Alexandra Burke boasts a versatility well beyond her 23 years.

Renown for her ability to “beast” the stage, the Londoner also packs a potent vocal, which she showcases on this the latest episode of The Splash.

Along with a stirring performance of new single ‘Elephant’, the X Factor winner serves up an emotionally charged rendition of the song which started it all – Whitney Houston‘s ‘Saving All My Love For You’.

Many will remember the Houston cut as the track Burke performed on her very first audition on ITV1 show. An audition which would lead to her becoming a household name.

Watch the star “beast” The Splash like only she can above!

So, in a bid to make sure that happens, her team have landed her a gig of truly epic proportions.

She is to join Coldplay‘s tour this summer.

Only a few weeks after shaving her head and bleaching it blonde, Willow Smith has decided to flip the script yet again by dying her hair green!

The young ‘Fireball’ has been unable to garner substantial interest in her debut LP that she’s resorted to Rihanna‘s mantra of ‘if it ain’t broke don’t fix it.’ As evident with Fenty’s meteoric rise to the top, when the public is no longer talking about one’s professional endeavors it’s time to re-focus to one’s personal.

For three years, former Sugababe Keisha Buchanan has maintained a dignified silence on the drama which saw her ousted from the group she founded in 2009.

And while karma has perhaps served as the best revenge (see: current state of the group, reformation of originals), Buchanan has finally opened up about her time in one of the UK’s biggest ever girlbands.

The segment featured on documentary ‘I’m In A Girl Group!’, which also juxtaposed soundbites from the brand’s 4th line-up.

Fans of late R&B chanteuse Aaliyah were sent into a frenzy today when Jeffrey “J. Dub” Walker, of the famed production group The Hitmen, took to Twitter to announce (click to enlarge):

Fans may recall that Walker is the craftsman behind many favorites (‘I Refuse’, ‘I Can Be’, more) of Aaliyah’s 2001 self-titled, third venture.  And, while the singer’s longtime collaborator Timbaland long revealed that the singer recorded a wealth of material for that album, only 15 made the final cut (while others featured on the singer’s posthumous greatest hits package).

Alas, while no dates have been revealed to accompany Walker’s announcement, any hints at new music from the songbird are enough to get us at TGJ headquarters excited as ‘Steady Ground’ has long been a favorite of ours.

Take a listen at the cut below (featuring contributions from the late Static Major):
