She did great, as usual. Though I must say that ‘Better With Time’ doesn’t really move me – at all. ‘Bleeding Love’ on the other hand, though played to death, still is enjoyable to see performed live – especially with the different adlibs and runs Leona added to the performance. Good stuff.

What do you think of the performance?

The song has grown on me majorly since the first listen, so I’m really anticipating the video.

Random tidbit: The styling looked kinda Madonna circa ‘Hard Candy’

Your thoughts?

Hmm…LOL LOL. Anyway, you can see Ne-Yo’s performance of ‘Closer’ on the show below:

Damn lol. How old was Brandy when ‘Moesha’ was on, again? Regardless, it was still pretty lame of him to start opening his mouth now about the supposed occurrences. Considering he has a project coming out, I guess that was the free publicity was rationale behind his loose mouth. It’s worked too. SMH…

Your thoughts?

I may be slightly partial to this one as I’ve been feeling the DJ Toomp produced cut for the longest. The video was pretty good; Mariah looks great too. With early radio spins being real healthy, Mariah looks like she may be onto a winner with this. Having felt kinda let down by the first two singles from ‘E=MC²’, this is definitely the most deserving of success from the LP’s releases thus far.

Random tidbit: Does anyone else smell a re-release of ‘E=MC²’ coming on, considering T.I.’s was put on the official video?

What do you think of the video?

The self-titled ‘Louis Vuitton Don’ Kanye West has collaborated with the fashion house to produce his own line – for both men and women. Check out the report via NME:

The rapper showed up at the Vuitton show in Paris’ Jardins de Bagatelle on Friday (June 27) and told wwd.com ”I’m here for Louis” before revealing that he is working with the fashion giant on designed a men’s shoe line.

West, who was dressed entirely in his own clothing designs, also told the fashion site that he is working on a women’s wear collection which will debut this fall.

After all that free promo, it’s about time!

Any thoughts?

A mess. I’m assuming the terrible performance of their joint LP ‘Face Off’ may have been the cause for this break-up rift.

According to Now Magazine, rapper/producer Pharrell Williams is set to have his tattoos removed:

Pharrell Williams plans to use skin grown in a test tube to cover the tattoos on his arms. The N.E.R.D. frontman is bored of his existing designs and hopes to start afresh with the help of a pioneering graft technique. ‘It’s going to be pricey, but f*** it, it’s worth it,’ he says. ‘I got fire on my arms. I don’t need fire on my arms! I’m a grown man.

Good on him. I think some are going a lil’ overboard with the tatts and not really thinking what it’ll look like/or mean to them when they’re older.

Your thoughts?

Review in a bit…

In the meanwhile…
