‘Work’ singer Kelly Rowland was doing plenty of that on the set of her ‘Runway’ magazine shoot.  Dishing on her upcoming tour with  Chris Brown, the critical acclaim of her third studio release ‘Here I Am’, and other bits and bobs, the songstress shines in both print and photos.

‘Bossy’ singer Kelis was most recently spotted rocking the Bestival 2011 this week at Robin Hill Country Park in Newport, Isle of Wight.   Held September 8-11, the former Mrs. Jones is said to have treated the crowd to ‘Milkshake’, ‘Get Along With You’, and other fan favorites.

In related news, the ‘Young, Fresh, N’ New’ singer most recently found herself in headlines after reportedly saying:

“Katy Perry is crap. It’s just pure pop. Her name might be on her stuff but that doesn’t mean it’s any good.”

A rep for the singer later clarified the statement is indeed false.

Better late than never we suppose.  Hip hop hitmaker The Dream may be already readying a follow-up to his first free LP and his fourth studio album ‘Love King IV: Diary of a Mad Black Man’, but he hasn’t completely closed the book on ‘1977’.  Via his Youtube page, the ‘Rocking That Thang’ rapper/singer released a visual to support the mixtape.

While Kelly Rowland continues to dazzle during the auditions phase of the X Factor UK, ‘real-time’ has seen the Destiny’s Child alumni shooting the Judges Houses segment of the show.

And while speculation had been rife as to who the 30 year old would enlist to assist her, it has today been confirmed that Grammy and Oscar winner Jennifer Hudson is the surprise name.

While Ms. Hudson is certainly a coup for the show, it’s a shame that gone (seemingly) are the days when producers would allow judges to bring their own assistance (i.e. Danni-Kylie). For, like many, yours truly anticipated Beyonce or Michelle or someone with a legit connection. Still, ratings are ratings, and based on public response, winning is winning – the latter being what Kelly and this new panel are clearly doing.

This week’s From The Vault will, yet again, concentrate on an artist who doesn’t get the kudos they deserve: the multi-talented Brandy.

Today’s pick comes in the form of the title track of B-Rocka’s third studio album, ‘Full Moon’. Released almost 10 years ago, the track served as the 2002 LP’s second single.

On the Mike City-helmed groove, Ms. Norwood tells an engaging tale of “love at first sight” that she coos is caused by the state of the moon. A narrative relayed literally, yet effectively in its accompanying video.

As always, the siren’s flawless vocal delivery is the center of affairs, with her trademark harmonies and mesmerizing ad-libs on display. And even though she is clearly demonstrates vocal restraint on the track, it’s ample enough to underscore the age-old saying that ‘sometimes, less is more’.

The singer’s then-pregnancy rendered her unable to properly promote the single, but it still managed to reach the Top 20 in the US and in the UK.

With a newly announced deal with RCA Records and fresh material on the pipeline, the Moesha-star stays among the most exciting vocalists the industry. And, although she has achieved plenty during her 17 year career, it seems Brandy still has much more give. TGJ will be there, front row-center, to witness just how much. Will you?
