Making The Band 4 / Season 4 Trailer

Peep the trailer for the latest season of Making The Band 4. After the drama which saw two members of Danity Kane axed, Day26’s so-so success and Donnie’s complete and utter tanking, this season sure ought to be interesting. The trailer definitely has me anticipating what’s to come. The season premiere will be February 12th on MTV (US).

Randomness: Did anyone else notice that Shannon was nowhere to be seen?

Will you be watching the new season of Making The Band 4?

Mariah, Alicia, Mary J Perform At Obama Ball

Mariah Carey, Alicia Keys and Mary J. Blige took to the stage at the Neighborhood Ball in honour of Barack Obama last night in Washington, DC. Check out their perfromances below:

Mariah – Hero

Alicia Keys – No One

Mary J. Blige – Just Fine

Introduced by hubby Nick Cannon, Mrs C’s performance…(…)…got better towards the end. The belt-y parts really gave a nod to ‘the voice’ we know and love(d). Not the most apt of songs to sing considering her vocal state, yet one very befitting to the cause.

Alica and Mary nailed it!!!

What do you think of the performances?

From The Vault: TLC – ‘Red Light Special’

This week’s classic From The Vault clip is TLC’s 1995 sensual smash ‘Red Light Special’. Lifted from the trio’s Diamond selling LP ‘CrazySexyCool’, the song, which reached #2 on the Billboard Hot 100, saw its racy video become a staple on music stations across the globe and to date serves as one of their biggest hits. Check it out:

Cliche sounding, perhaps, but back then really were the good ol’ days of R&B.

Mariah Carey Starts Work On New Album

It appears Mariah Carey is wasting no time after her last LP ‘E=MC²’ failed to ignite the charts in the way, I’m sure, she and her label would have hoped. The 38 year old songstress is currently in the studio recording the album’s follow-up:

The-Dream just dropped his new single “My Love,” which features Mariah Carey, but that’s not all the two have been up to lately.
The-Dream stopped by L.A.’s Power 106 with Big Boy In The Morning, and talked about his new album and the fact that he hadn’t gone to sleep yet because he was up all night with Mariah working on new material for her.
According to The-Dream, Mariah is already working on a new album and he’s been producing some hot new tracks for her.
As you may already know, The-Dream is responsible for producing Mariah’s huge hit “Touch My Body” off her current album E=MC². {Source}

For all my (justified) criticism of Mariah, it’s kinda unfortunate that she has called it a day on ‘E=MC²’. Though not the best album of hers (not by a long shot), there was still enough winning material on there for the album to have fared much better (See: ‘For The Record’ & ‘Migrate’).

It’s pretty evident that Mimi knows that at 38 there is only so much time left for her to be cranking out such bubble-gum mediocrity like ‘Touch My Body’ and using her ‘sex appeal’ to sell a record. As the Janet’s and Madonna’s know, once near or over the ’40’ hill, such antics are greeted with a collective side-eye (hey Fresh!) from the masses. I’m kinda hoping Mariah’s next release sees a return to her making quality albums, that have longetivity in their own right – unlike some of the rubbish she’s been putting out recently.

Rihanna Grammy Promo Ad

{Click pic to enlarge}

As the 51st Annual Grammy Awards draw nearer, a poster of Rihanna for the awards’ ‘Celebrate The Music That Makes Us’ promotional campaign surfaced this week.

All of the text used for Rihanna’s portrait contain song titles from artists who have influenced or affected her life and career. Miss Fenty’s selections included the Mariah Carey’s ‘Hero’, ‘Butterfly’ and “We Belong Together’, as well as Destiny’s Child’s ‘Say My Name’ and ‘Lose My Breath’.

Granted there’s a lot that could be said (LOL), I’ll leave it at: Nice pic.
