Since the beginning of time, we’ve been telling you about the travesty embedded in Rihanna‘s voice. The horror manifested itself in the worst of ways last night during the Dallas, Texas stop of her so-so selling ‘LOUD Tour’. For while ‘performing’ latest single ‘California King Bed’, an overhead light exploded, engulfing the stage in flames.

Beyonce may be #1 with ‘4’, but now the ‘Diva’ singer has 3 albums on the Billboard 200 simultaneously.  For what comes as an astonishing feat, 2008’s ‘I Am Sasha Fierce’ and 2003’s ‘Dangerously In Love’ have both re-entered the charts this week at #90 and #168 respectively.

For those still asking ‘who run the world?’, you may have just gotten your answer.

While eyes of fans and naysayers alike were glued to screens last night for the premiere of Beyonce’s ‘Best Thing I Never Had’ video, R. Kelly protege K. Michelle was prepping the release of the response ‘Worst Man I Ever Had’.  The song sees the up-and-coming songstress tackle the popular King B tune with darker lyrics and a gospel-esque vocal performance.

Her debut single encouraged her Heartbeats to ‘Do It Like A Dude‘ but Riot Girl Jessie J flaunted her more feminine attributes on the cover of this month’s ‘Glamour Magazine’.

Dressed in a fitting black dress, The ‘Who You Are’ singer graced the cover with her trademark smile which is probably down to the fact her debut LP remains in the Top 10 of the UK Album charts. Even after 18 weeks!

Remember Mariah Carey‘s ‘Angel Advocate’? You know, the ill-fated remix album to the chart disaster that was 2009’s ‘Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel’ which never saw the light of day. Given how everything played out, Ms. Carey will no doubt be hoping all is but a distant memory. Especially with the forthcoming arrival of what is no doubt the most important album of her latter career (after 2 so-so sellers, her commercial relevancy hangs in the balance).

However, any such hopes were dealt somewhat of a blow today after the R. Kelly featured demo for ‘Betcha Gon’ Know (Remix)’ surfaced.

Is it a stone-grove hit? Take a listen after the jump…
