R&B singer Lloyd has announced that he will be releasing an EP entitled ‘The Young Goldie EP’ in December. The project, which includes productions and appearances from J. Holiday, Nicki Minaj, Juelz Santana, Richboy, Drake, is preceded by the title track ‘Like Me’ (featuring Bun B) which was produced by Jim Jonsin. The singer’s new album, which hits stores in 2010, comprises contributions from Jim Jonsin, Cool & Dre, Rico Love, and Rodney Jerkins.

It’s encouraging to see that Lloyd is continuing to pursue his career given everything that he has had to endure with the disaster that is now The Inc. (which some refer to as the new Bad Boy Records) and Irv Gotti. I thoroughly enjoyed a lot of his earlier releases, especially ‘Girls Around The World‘, ‘You’ and the monster club hit, ‘Get It Shawty’. If only ‘Like Me’ was of similar quality. The song is generic and boring; hardly even worth the energy required to type this sentence. Nonetheless, I’m still expecting to hear bigger, and hopefully better, things from Lloyd because he has a lot of potential. Listen to ‘Like Me’ below:

Superstar Beyonce took home the most awards at tonight’s MTV European Music Awards in Berlin, including Best Video for ‘Single Ladies’ (who didn’t see that one coming?!…Well deserved). During her acceptance speech, Ms. Knowles-Carter showed a rare sign of affection to hubby Jay-Z by solely thanking him for (quote on quote) “putting a ring on it!” You got to love ‘love’.

In other Bouncy news, her much anticipated video for new single ‘Video Phone’, featuring Lady GaGa has been postponed due to tragic events in Texas’ Fort Hood army base. The clip was first pushed back to 8pm (US eastern time), however will now premiere at a later date this month.

Amerie continues on her promo grind for her 4th studio album ‘In Love & War’, this week stopping by BET’s 106 & Park to perform previous single ‘Why R U’. Still not sold on the song, but a great performance nonetheless. I see she’s making the weave-shaking/dutty-whine hybrid a trademark move. I like!

What do you think of the performance?

The 2009 MTV EMA’s in the the 02 World Arena in Berlin, Germany earlier this evening. Below are photos of some of your favourite stars arriving at the event:

Beyonce went for the techno-mermaid look in this ensemble.

Shakira looked beyond sexy in this little number.

Singer Leona Lewis also got in touch with her sexy side (possibly for the first time ever).

Rap diva Lil Kim also made an appearance at the event. Why Kim…why…?

Star DJ David Guetta was also on the red carpet. Ironically, when I think of the sound of European Music, he is the first name that comes to mind!

Katy Perry looked beautifil in her outfit, but I sense that I have seen this before…
