Rihanna took a break from impressing the world with her amazing vocal range to issue an official statement regarding the recent leak of her ‘Who’s That Chick’. The Voice took to Twitter to inform her fans that the video was shot to support her new endorsement deal with Doritos and that it has nothing to do with her upcoming ‘Loud’ album.

These statements conflict with what was indicated by her camp at SRP Records who confirmed that ‘Who’s That Chick’ is indeed going to be used to promote the album in the clubs later this year. Check out what Rihanna had to say below:

Usher and Alicia Keys’ ‘My Boo’ is the video being lifted From The Vault this week. The Jermaine Dupri-produced song was featured on the re-release of Usher’s massively successful ‘Confessions’ LP. In addition to spending 6 weeks at the top of the Billboard Hot 100, ‘My Boo’ earned Usher and Keys a Grammy Award for Best R&B Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals.

There was undeniable chemistry between Usher and Keys on this record. Their vocals worked perfectly together over the simple production with neither outshining the other. It’s amazing to think that in 2004 they were the biggest stars in R&B music and 6 years later they have managed to maintain their position at the top. Excellent song.

This week’s That Grape Juice Cover Star (s) are R.T.I. The London-based trio – consisting of Raqual, Tina, and Ivy, serve up a rousing medley of Jackson 5 hits ‘Who’s Loving You’ and ‘I Want You Back’ – with an Envogue-esque flare.

Check out their showing below:

Home-run! With the commercial Urban music scene in dire need of raw talent (especially here in the UK), it’s so refreshing to see a group who possess it by bucket-load. Powerful vocals, tight harmonies and the all-important ‘look’, the ladies (aged 21-18) have it all.

If there’s one niggle, it’d be that their take on ‘Who’s Loving You’ pretty much wiped the floor with their rendition of ‘I Want You Back’ (which, comparatively, was a little flat in places). Still the ladies nailed the performance overall and certainly are ones to watch out for!
