Amazon has released preview clips of Christina Aguilera’s soundtrack for her new movie, ‘Burlesque’. While the record also features 2 contributions from her co-star Cher, the blond belter sings 8 of the 10 included songs.

Noticeably absent from the lineup are several songs such as ‘That’s Life’ from Alan Cumming. There is no word as to whether they have been axed from the lineup or if they will only be added to versions of the soundtrack in specific territories. Check out the preview below:

This week’s That Grape Juice Cover Star is Koreen. The French singer tries her hand at Rihanna’s latest single  ‘What’s My Name’.

Check it out below:

Great performance. Interestingly, Koreen’s tone bares striking similarities to the song’s original artist. Yet, where this budding star excels (arguably above Ms. Fenty) is with the melodic means in which she delivers the song, as well the confidence and control she possesses over her voice – as evidenced by the adblibs towards the end. . The acoustic guitar was a great touch too. Good stuff.
