Though one time scheduled to give the Billboard 200 a double dose of ‘Life’, Monica and Mary J. Blige‘s album faceoff was postponed when the ‘So Gone’ diva rescheduled the due date of her forthcoming album ‘New Life’.  With its new February 21st release swiftly approaching, Mrs. Brown unveils that instead of a showdown, the two may be prepping a diva duet for the collection before its completion.

In a recent interview, she revealed:

“I have a couple of different people that I really like to work with, I’ve always wanted to work with R. Kelly, I’ve always wanted to work with Mary [J. Blige],” Monica admits.  I wanted to save that for last because I think it’s always good when you sit down with artists that you admire and love and play them songs and see if anything touches them.”

Looks like Beyonce‘s Grammy snub isn’t the only one getting R&B fans riled up.  Much like fellow R&B frontrunner Jill Scott, ‘Sure Thing’ singer Miguel was certainly believed to be a surefire nominee for many of the genre’s categories.  But, even after winning big at the 2011 Soul Train Music Awards for similar categories, such recognition was not extended to the young crooner by the Grammy academy.

The Jive recording star certainly didn’t take the snub silently as he took to Twitter shortly after the nominations were announced to voice his disappointment.   Speaking with our friends over at GWHH, see what else Miguel unveiled about his next album, forthcoming plans, and, of course, his emotional outburst on Twitter following his unceremonious Grammy snub after the jump:
