That Grape Juice will be interviewing teen star Lil’ Mama on Thursday (sorry, I know it’s kinda short notice). Set to release her much-anticipated debut ‘VYP: Voice of The Young People’ on April 29th, the ‘Lip Gloss’ rapper has been tipped by many to be the ‘next big thing’. Have any questions for Lil’ Mama? As always, drop them in the ‘comments’ section. Remember only genuine submissions will be considered. Thanks guys 🙂

According to Billboard, Toni Braxton has scrapped all her scheduled ‘Revealed’ Las Vegas shows for this month, following her hospitalisation for an undisclosed illness:
The Flamingo Las Vegas says Braxton’s show will remain dark this week while the 40-year-old Grammy winner has more medical tests following her April 7 hospitalization for chest pain. Braxton was released the following day, but last week’s shows were canceled.
Flamingo President Don Marrandino said her Tuesday-through-Saturday shows are also off, and Braxton will take advantage of a previously scheduled two-week break.
She is due to resume her show at the Flamingo Showroom on May 6. The Flamingo is offering refunds for the canceled shows.
The exact cause of Braxton’s chest pain hasn’t been made public. She has been treated in the past for pericarditis, a viral inflammation of the heart.
Braxton is in the midst of a two-year run at the Flamingo.
Here’s hoping she has a quick recovery. Selfish as it may sound, I’m wanting her to prove that she still has what it takes; I’m still kinda salty about the poor performance of her last LP – 2005’s ‘Libra’, which stands as one of my best R&B albums in a long while.

Kelly Rowland recently performed her European smash ‘Work’ at the Hilfiger Sessions in Germany. I really enjoyed this performance, just watching Kelly jam with the band. Good stuff.
What do you think of the performance?
British chart-topper Estelle performed her smash ‘American Boy’ on The Friday Night Project a few weeks ago. She nailed it! Great performance. The band really added an extra dimension to the already awesome track. ‘American Boy’ has occupied the top spot on the Official Singles Chart here in the UK for the last three weeks.
What do you think of the performance?
UK singing sensation Leona Lewis has hit the promo trail hard in the US in support of her ‘Spirit’ LP, most recently stopping by Jimmy Kimmel Live. I really enjoyed this interview; it’s one of only times I’ve seen Leona let her personality shine through and she came across really well.
Having already broken records around the globe, she seems set to do the same in the US this coming week as ‘Spirit’ is almost certainly headed for the top spot on the Billboard 200 chart. What’s more, ‘Bleeding Love’ – which already hit #1 in the US three weeks ago – looks set to ascend to the coveted position once again. More power to her!

R&B singer Monica recently left a voicemail on her fan-site MonicaSoul.com, dishing details on her forthcoming album ‘Lessons Learned’. Slated to be released in August via J Records, the LP (which will consist of 12-14 tracks) will be preceded by a single in June/July, according to the 27 year old. As at the recording of the message, Monica confirmed she has either already worked or is in the process of working with the following producers: Babyface, Polow The Don, Bryan Michael Cox, Ne-Yo and R. Kelly. I’m kinda surprised she returned back to work so soon, her son Romello was only born in January. Still, I can’t complain; Monica oft brings ‘IT’ with her albums. Random tidbit: Am I the only one who really liked her last effort ‘The Makings of Me?

In a recent interview with theLIFE.Files, JoJo confirmed that her forthcoming album, her third, will be titled ‘All I Want Is Everything’. Set for a ‘Late 2008’ release, she also revealed that the LP will boast production from the likes of Timbaland, Tank, DJ Toomp, and Polow Da Don. {Source}As I’ve said quite a few times, JoJo’s sophomore effort ‘The High Road’ surprised me to the core; with it’s stellar R&B cuts, the album arguably served as one of best Urban/Pop releases of 2006. The 17 year old’s undeniable vocal prowess, in conjunction with the impressive list of producers, makes her LP one I’m definitely looking forward to.

R&B songstress Alicia Keys features in the latest issue of Blender magazine. As well as checking out outtakes from her shoot – shot by Andrew Eccles – below, peep Alicia’s controversial stance on Gangsta Rap:
We ask what other gangsta rappers she liked. And that’s when Keys drives a steamroller through the wall.
“‘Gangsta rap’ was a ploy to convince black people to kill each other,” she says, putting down the sandwich. “‘Gangsta rap’ didn’t exist.”
Come again? A ploy by whom?
She looks at us like it’s the dumbest question in the world. “The government.”
Alicia says Tupac and Biggie were essentially assassinated, their beefs stoked “by the government and the media, to stop another great black leader from existing.”

Wow. It’s kinda unexpected to see Alicia being so outspoken. It’s a pretty deep conspiracy theory, though, and I’m not entirely sure where I stand on the whole issue. You?

That Grape Juice are pleased to confirm that we will be interviewing R&B songstress Tamia towards the end of next week. The Grammy nominated star is currently gearing up for the start of her North American tour, in support of her most recent release – the stellar ‘Between Friends’. Do you have any questions for Tamia? As usual, drop them in the ‘comments’ section. Remember, only appropriate questions will be considered. Thanks guys 🙂
As the release of Mariah Carey’s much-hyped ‘E=MC²’ album draws nearer, ‘Heat’ – a bonus track from the Japanese edition of the LP -has surfaced. Check it out:
Though this will.i.am produced cut is far from being Mariah’s best effort – I’m really liking it for what it is – light, tongue-in-cheek, with enough hooks to have you humming along before it ends. I chose to interpret the song’s ‘I will hunt you down-esque’ lyrics comically; I mean she can’t really be serious, can she? LOL…
Hit or Miss?
