They all had me cracking up; Dawn’s reaction to the Aundrea pregnant comment, to the ‘Malaysian weaves’, to Donnie and Shannon still not saying a word lol. Now all they need is to be hooked up with new singles and accompanying videos ASAP.

Any thoughts?

Though not the best video, I’m really feeling this one for its uniqueness; the vid most definitely is unlike any other clip out at the moment and I’m loving the ‘popular culture through time’ concept. Kudos to Solange for stepping out of the industry comfort-zone/template and going left-field, the results are obviously working in her favour. Word has it, a separate video will be serviced to the European market for the Freemasons mix – ‘I Decided (Part 2)’ – which is set to be released as the official first single over here. Solange’s album ‘Sol-Angel & The Hadley Street Dreams’ hits stores on August 26th.

What do you think of the video?

Former Spice Girl Melanie Brown will duet with Janet Jackson to make sure her solo career is a success, Metro can reveal.

Speaking exclusively, she vowed to hit back in the singles chart following her first failed attempt.

Her last single ‘Today’ failed to make the UK singles top 40.

‘I not scared of having another try. I am working with the best producers ever. I am now ten tracks in to my new record.’

‘I am doing something with Janet Jackson which should be amazing. I am also going to hook up with Missy again.’ {Source}

Not an obvious pairing. Should be interesting. {Random tidbit: Does anyone remember Mel’s ‘Tell Me’ and/or ‘Feel So Good singles? They were pretty good lol’}

Your thoughts?

In a recent interview with popular UK urban publication RWD Magazine, Usher spoke out on Chilli’s recent comments about her feelings for him:

RWD: Chilli was quoted as saying you were the one she ‘truly did love. I’m not in love with him anymore, but I can’t say I don’t love him.’ Do you think it’s appropriate for her to make these comments considering you’re married with a child?

Usher: I mean, I think it’s a little unrealistic, I’m married (laughs), I’m not a boy. It’s been three years past, you know? But we all have unrealistic goals too. Like shoot, I will always forever love Katie Holmes and Halle Berry. I don’t feel anyway about it. It does appear maybe to be a plug for something. She got a record coming or something?

Your thoughts?

Awesome performance. It still baffles me till this day as to why the US seem to be sleeping on her? Hopefully that will change upon the release of her third solo LP, which is due early 2009.

What do you think of the performance?

The Ashanti promotional blitz hit New York yesterday. As well as putting in an appearance on MTV’s TRL earlier in the day (click here to watch), the singer dropped by Virgin Megastores, Times Square to perform and sign copies of her brand new LP ‘The Declaration’.

What do you think of the pics?

I’m pretty interested to see if her tour will be heading to this side of the pond, after all she did say it was to be a world tour. ‘Discipline’s’ poor standing on the UK/European charts (thanks in part to zero promo on Janet’s part etc), has me thinking that he show may not be coming our way. I guess time will tell…

Any thoughts?

According to Mariah Daily, the third official single to be lifted from Mariah Carey’s ‘E=MC²’ will be ‘I’ll Be Loving You Long Time’. At a press conference held during the 38 year old’s promo blitz in Japan, she confirmed that the video will be shot in Hawaii later this week. Chris Applebaum, who directed Rihanna’s ‘Umbrella’ as well as Mary J’s ‘Just Fine’, will be directing the clip. {Source}

No surprises there, seeing as she performed the song at the MTV Japan VMA’s last week. ‘I’ll Be Loving You Long Time’ is one of my favourite tracks from the, otherwise, lackluster album, so I’m glad it’s getting the single treatment. Saying that, the likelihood of the smash-in-waiting ‘Migrate’ being as big as it could be is lessened with each other single release she places before it. At this rate, I really can’t see ‘E=MC²’ having as much longevity as ‘The Emancipation of Mimi’…it seems after ‘Touch My Body’ the project ceased to be handled properly. Yes, she’s everywhere, but the single release order is baffling to say the least.

Your thoughts?

I actually squirmed a lil bit watching that. What my mother would have done to me if…SMH…

Your thoughts?

*Back to your regularly scheduled programming lol*

I’m pleasantly surprised, she sounded even better than the record. Her vocals have most definitely matured, as has her stage presence. With the right promotion and single releases, Solange, IMO, really has the potential to be one of the biggest celebrity siblings to make a major impact in their own right – in the same way Janet emerged from Michael’s shadow more than 20 years ago. Great performance.

Solange’s video for ‘I Decided’ premieres tomorrow. Keep it locked on That Grape Juice for the goods…
