Having some relationship issues with a pesky ex? If that’s then case then Mya has the remedy with this week’s From The Vault. The Tricky Stewart-produced ‘Case of the Ex’ was issued as the 2nd single from her ‘Fear of Flying’ LP in November 2000 and became her highest charting single as a solo artist to date, peaking at #2 on the Billboard Hot 100.

This is yet another example of how true talent can easily get overlooked and swept away in the industry. Mya is a competent singer and a very talented dancer yet she has been unable to find her way back onto the charts for quite some time.

Hopefully, history won’t repeat itself with another famous dancer – Ciara. Besides, both acts would be more than welcome to have a comeback and replace the lifeless ‘entertainers’ who somehow manage to get praised for their mediocrity.

It goes without saying: Beyonce‘s fourth studio album is undoubtedly one of the most eagerly anticipated releases of the year.

This week’s That Grape Juice Cover Star is Alexandria. The 16 year old, Maryland native serves up a spine-tingling rendition of Adele‘s smash ‘Someone Like You’. One most certainly beyond her humble years.

Check out the clip below:

Not only has the teen’s version left me speechless, her age has too. A voice like that at just 16?! It’s so reassuring to know that, in the midst of iTunes/digital era (see: mediocre artists), real, and raw talent is still on the come-up. Amazing performance.
