Check out ‘Bad Boys‘ darling Alexandra Burke enjoying the company of R&B icon Usher and world renowned record producer Rico Love.

Reported to have recorded created music together, the image of the three artists comes after Ms. Burke tweeted excitedly about  material Love had penned for her.

It is still unconfirmed as to whether Usher features on this song.

Responsible for Kelly Rowland‘s ‘Commander’ and ‘Motivation‘, Beyonce‘s ‘Sweet Dreams‘ and Usher’s ‘There Goes My Baby‘,  it appears that Alexandra is hoping Rico Love’s platinum touch  will assist her in her bid to entice American audiences.

For now that she recently signed to RCA Recordings, Ms. Burke’s chances of becoming the international sensation so many of her fans believe she can be are looking increasingly likely.

In what will be sure to enrage some whilst amusing others, comments made by Rap monopolizer Nicki Minaj during a performance in Jamaica have had some Lil Kim fans speculating whether they were directed at the ‘How Many Licks’ performer underhandedly.

The ‘Super Bass’ starlet and the ‘Crush On You’ sensation have been engaged in a war of words for several months.

Beginning when the latter accused her  younger and  more in vogue rival of  being behind the sabotage of a possible business relationship with Cash Money Records, to which Minaj is signed to.

The feud heated up when Ms.Jones then released the anti-Minaj  ‘Black Friday‘ mixtape to compete with Minaj’s ‘Pink Friday‘ LP which turned the songstress  into the third highest selling female artist of 2011 to date.

Love her or loathe her, Janet Jackson is Pop royalty.

At 45, the singer boasts a career spanning more than three decades, and a hit catalogue even the most established of acts would be envious of. Indeed, in every which way, Jackson is iconic.

However, after a lengthy spell at the top, her success has slowed notably over the last 7 years; a fact, no doubt, attributable due to her infamous “wardrobe malfunction” at the 2004 Super Bowl and the bevy of starlets who established themselves since then.

Yet, with the success of her recent ‘Number Ones: Up, Close, & Personal Tour’, many are itching for new material from the youngest of the Jackson clan.

As such, That Grape Juice took to the streets of Hollywood to hear what the people think of Ms. Jackson. What went wrong with her career? Can she make a comeback? Should she even bother?
