Janet Performs ‘LUV’ Live
Pop superstar Janet Jackson gave her first performance since falling ill back in March yesterday at the United America Concert at Del Mar Beach. Ne-Yo, Snoop Dogg, Jordin Sparks and others, also performed at the show which was held in support of the US troops. NBC will air the full show on June 1st. In the meanwhile, check out Janet’s performance of LUV from her set below:

A better view:

Not the best video quality, but still a good indicator as to what to expect from her upcoming live performances. She was nailing that choreography. This needs to be a single at some point.

What do you think of the performance?

New Song: Usher – ‘Trading Places’
Usher - 'Trading Places' As the release of Usher’s much anticipated LP ‘Here I Stand’ draws ever-nearer, new material seems to be ‘surfacing left, right and center – one the more recent being ‘Trading Places’. After being, somewhat, underwhelmed with the cuts that I’ve heard thus far (aside from ‘Love In The Club – Pt. II), I’m really liking this. Though lyrically the song is kinda lacking (it’s an engaging concept though), Usher’s flow and the production (which ironically sounds a lit like Chris Brown’s ‘You’) make for a really great track. ‘Here I Stand’ hits stores May 27th.

New Song: Nelly – ‘Stepped On My J’s’ (ft. JD & Ciara)
Nelly - 'Stepped On My J's' (ft. JD & Ciara) With the release of Nelly’s ‘Brass Knuckles’ fast approaching, a new cut from the set has surfaced. ‘Stepped On My J’s’, which features Jermaine Dupri and R&B star Ciara, sees the St. Louis native re-embrace the gritty, yet radio friendly sound that made his debut so great. I must say, I’m really liking this one. ‘Brass Knuckles’ hits stores June 24th.

Why LaToya, Why?
Why LaToya, Why? LaToya Jackson was snapped at the Arcandor Medientriff in Germany recently. Needless to say, the 51 year old looked like a trainwreck. I will never understand why beautiful people insist on messing with their God-given looks. SMH…

Tiffany Evans’ Debut Sells 4,700 Copies
Tiffany Evans' Debut Sells 4,700 Copies Lack of promotion? A changing industry? Bad material? All of those questions sprung to mind upon being informed that Tiffany Evans shifted an embarrassing 4, 700 copies of her debut album last week. The 15 year old’s first week showing landed her at #134 on the Billboard 200.

Though I admittedly have yet to hear the record, it’s still a shame to see such a talent – one, I consider to be a potential big star of tomorrow – fare so badly. This really goes to show that the industry is on unstable ground at the moment. That Grape Juice wants to know your take on this all and what you think it signifies in its wider context…

Rihanna & Chris Brown Kissing At KFC
Rihanna & Chris Brown Kissing At KFCR&B stars Rihanna and Chris Brown were snapped smooching at a KFC in Miami yesterday. The not-so-surprising, yet surprising public display of affection comes on the heels the pair both denying they are an item. I guess, the hush-hush of it all was to keep Chris’ largely young female audience appeased. No so luck after this.

New Kelly Rowland Video Blog
Still in Europe promoting her ‘Ms. Kelly’ project, Kelly Rowland checked in with fans today in a new video blog. Among other things, the 27 year old confirmed that she will continue recording her new record in London upon her return here. Check it out:

I’m definitely ready to see what the next chapter holds for Kelly’s solo career. Here’s hoping her new album rights the wrongs of the ‘Ms. Kelly’ on numerous fronts. Granted it’s best for her to take her time with the record, her recent success and the example of Rihanna an album a year, seemingly so), shows that it’s worthwhile striking while the iron is hot.

New Song: Donnie – ‘Dr. Love’
Donnie - 'Dr. Love' Viewer’s of the most recent season MTV’s ‘Making The Band 4’ will have seen that, unlike Danity Kane and Day26, Donnie did not have his album completed by the show’s finale. However, with his LP now set for a summer release, new material from the set has surfaced – namely the full version of ‘Dr. Love’, a snippet of which was posted a few months back.
As much ‘hit’ potential as the track, which was produced by Seven, may have, I’m still yet to be sold on Donnie. I get a distinct ‘I’m singing what has been dropped in front of me, without giving my own personal stamp’ vibe from his material. Very contrived sounding. Still, I’ll reserve my judgement until I hear more from the record.

Mario Eliminated From Dancing With The Stars
Following a largely successful stint on Dancing With The Stars, Mario left the competition in a shock elimination last night, despite achieving scoring 53 out of 60 for his performance of the Viennese Waltz and Jive earlier in the week:

Though I hoped he would go all the way and win the competition, his elimination is far from a bad thing IMO. Despite my initial doubts, the show definitely has given him more exposure than he’s had in a long while – let’s be honest, he needs it. Here’s hoping this has given him a platform enough to reignite his promising music career.
