Before it was the name of a successful talent show, ‘The Voice’ has been and still is a certain diva’s moniker – of course we’re talking about the one and only Mariah Carey. Whether on top of the charts or not, Mariah’s status as one of the greatest power-vocalist to ever grace the face of earth has never been questioned.

Mimi’s live showing of her hit ballad ‘My All’ at 1998’s Divas Live will make the object of this week’s From The Vault.

A Lamb-favorite, this live showing showcases Mrs Carey-Canon’s then new voice: a raspier, huskier one, and although a tad less powerful than before, it boasted a compelling rawness.

By the end of the performance, the soulful songbird channels her inner Dance-diva, parading on stage to the David Morales remix of the track. A refreshing flirtation with Dance we wouldn’t mind seeing her revisit with future efforts.

Speaking of what’s to come, a degree of realism is imperative. The mother-of-two’s voice had been through a lot – from the mire and back higher. Indeed, her vocals have been the subject of many heated conversations. Yet, although we highly doubt she’ll recapture the youthful horsepower she possessed during her vocal hey-day (which is only fair), we at That Grape Juice are still rooting for ol’ Mimi and anticipate more greatness from her before the curtain call.

Toni Braxton may have faced turbulent times, yet the tide seems to be turning for the soulful baritone. For reliable sources have confirmed to That Grape Juice that the ‘Unbreak My Heart’ singer is on the cusp of signing a lucrative deal to star in the Broadway adaptation of ‘Chicago’.

We’re told the mother of two is to don the iconic stiletto’s of Roxy Hart in the long-running stage-show.

Should the deal be finalised (word has it the ink is all but dry), it would be the latest in a line of Broadway productions the 44 year old has starred in (see: ‘Aida’ and ‘Beauty & The Beast’).

In the meanwhile, fans can look forward to Ms. Braxton in the forthcoming season of ‘Braxton Family Values’ – which returns to screen near you in November. Click here to see the trailer.
