Whitney Houston‘s iconic talent is set to be celebrated on November 10th when ‘Whitney Houston Live: Her Greatest Performances’ lands in stores.
As reported, the set will sew together some of the diva’s most dazzling live showings on the CD/DVD release.
Given the wealth of Whitney’s talent, we don’t envy those tasked with narrowing down her many amazing moments.
Find out which ones made the final cut below…
A dancer employed to perform behind rapper Nicki Minaj during her ‘MTV Video Music Awards’ set this week has been rushed to hospital this morning…after being bitten by a six-foot long anaconda.
Full story below…
Over the last seven years, That Grape Juice has established itself as one of the net’s most renowned sources for Urban Pop music. Indeed, it’s become trademark for us to shine light on artists – both known and on the rise. This week sees us spotlight the latter, as we kick off the first ever Freshly Squeezed Week.
Starting today, we’ll be introducing a talented new name each day of this week.
The first up is vocal powerhouse…
‘Here I Am’ rapper Nicki Minaj has been slammed by ‘All Hip Hop’ owner Chuck Creekmur in an open letter penned today, written in response to the singer’s controversial artwork for new single ‘Anaconda.’
Why he feels the performer is a bad influence on the fan base she’s used to become one of the fastest selling entertainers to debut within the last decade?
A scathing review below…
Way before she was a judge on ‘American Idol’, the ‘X Factor’ and the Australian edition of ‘So You Think You Can Dance?’ and not long after blessing Janet Jackson with a few signature moves, Paula Abdul was a popstar in her own right. This week, From The Vault is celebrating one of Ms. Abdul’s finest visual works – the magnificent ‘Cold Hearted’
Pulled from Paula’s blockbuster debut ‘Forever Your Girl’ as its fifth single, ‘Cold’ is a Pop number with sprinkles of New Jack Swing wherein the singer warns a fellow female about a heartless, womanizing man that she compares to a “cold hearted snake “.
It was produced by Elliot Wolff – who was also responsible for the entertainer’s breakout single ‘Straight Up’ – and was one of her six Billboard chart-toppers. Unfortunately, its home soil success never translated into an overseas one.
As many of you would know, we love ourselves an epic video here at TGJ. Therefore you’ll understand why this one has a very special place in our vault. The work of Academy Award-nominated director David Fincher, the visual serves as Abdul’s homage to legendary choreographer Bob Fosse, most particularly his work on classic musical ‘All That Jazz’. The all-dance affair perfectly embodies Paula’s proposition as a “Popstar”: hook-heavy edgy Pop music, enchanting choreography, and high-octane music videos.
With Paula waving goodbye to her singing career almost two decades ago, we feel it is a shame that the current generation only knows her as a TV figure and not the award-winning stage blazer she once was. Just to express how inspiring and trend-setting she and this video have been, here’s a few well-known visuals which take inspiration from ‘Cold Hearted’: Janet Jackson’s ‘If’, Christina Aguilera’s ‘What A Girl Wants’, Britney Spears’ ‘Slave 4 U’, Ciara’s ‘Promise’.
Can you name more?
It’s official! Nicole Scherzinger is an Epic artist.
As reported at the top of the year, the Pop chanteuse signed a lucrative deal with Sony Music, which included worldwide distribution for her upcoming new album.
And while it was confirmed in January that the former Pussycat Doll had inked an agreement with Sony’s RCA UK for the European release of the Tricky Stewart and The Dream helmed LP, her American predicament remained a mystery until today.
The conundrum ended this evening, though, when Epic Records (another Sony imprint) and its head L.A Reid tweeted the following…
Having warmed the masses up with a series of singles, next month will reportedly see Jennifer Hudson release her third studio album.
An important set for the Oscar and Grammy winner, all eyes will be on whether it can cement her status as a major name in the music arena in the way the aforementioned awards have done for her in the acting sphere.
And while the fate of the LP remains to be seen, its title is now known.
Speaking with WGPC in Washington, DC this week, the American Idol alum revealed what the project has been christened.

Meagan Good, Tracee Ellis Ross, Alfre Woodard and Loretta Devine stand as just four African-American actresses to star in ‘Black Women Run Hollywood’, a hilarious piece presented by comedy purveyors ‘Funny or Die.‘
Starring Jurnee Smollet, the skit shed lights on a secret society made up of prominent Black performers who control Hollywood from the shadows, spreading their agenda through film, music, fashion…. and ‘Dunkaroos.‘
Why Oprah Winfrey and Beyonce are no longer part of the catty coven?
A hilarious watch below…
One week to go!
June 17th sees Jennifer Lopez unwrap her hotly anticipated tenth studio album ‘A.K.A’.

Disastrous might be one word to describe the current state of Mariah Carey’s career, now stained in the commercial mess that is new album ‘Me.I Am Mariah…The Elusive Chanteuse’ and talk that the icon’s fun in the chart sun has now come to an end.
Unfortunately, while other artists have seen LPs that failed to fly in the US fare better in smaller markets, this week has brought with it further shame for ‘The Chanteuse’, which slipped 40 spots in one week in the United Kingdom..a fortnight after its release.
Find out why the UK arm of her promo machine needs a new line of work below…
