To many, they represent just how well R&B can fare when armed with the vehicle that is television.
To each other, they’re the other’s worst nightmare. This, being the reason Tamar Braxton had very little to say of K.Michelle today, when she arrived on hit radio show ‘The Breakfast Club’ for an interview promoting the latest season of her hit show ‘Tamar & Vince’ and her phenomenal new album…’Love & War‘.
Meet us below for Tamar’s estimation of her fellow chart topper…
With an array of chart hits under her belt, R&B star Keri Hilson is making a foray into film.
Much like her music, the singer-songwriter seems to have a knack for picking wisely. For, she follows her role in last year’s smash ‘Think Like A Man’ with a part in box-office smash ‘Riddick’. The high-octane Sci-Fi flick, which also stars Vin Diesel, opened at #1 upon release this past weekend.
That Grape Juice caught up with the Atlanta-bred beauty recently, chatting it up about her big-screen efforts, upcoming album, and much more. As ever, we ask the questions you really want answers to; ever frank, Miss Keri answered them all.
Powerful voices may be a dime a dozen on today’s charts, however few can forget those iconic tones, textures, and notes that have come to define what “singing” means.
Indeed, in more recent times, a whole reality sub-genre has been dedicated to finding the next set of vocalists that will inspire the generations to come; and move them in the way a number of legendary names have moved some of today’s rising stars.
Still, it begs the question: who is the ultimate voice?
All too often, countless names are touted – some more than others, yet next to never is there a unanimous choice. Could this be a testament to the many greats that have rocked the mic over the years? Perhaps. However, ever keen to plough through the smoke, mirrors, and endless debate, we throw the question over to YOU!
In knowing that any voice billed as the “ultimate” must boast an array of flavors, we’ve re-teamed with our friends over at FUZE as our sponsor.
As you know, their refreshing iced tea and juice drinks mix the best tastes together for superior results. Needless to say, they’re a sure-fit for the latest in our list series.
Together, we want to know which names (in order) you feel represent the ultimate voice most.
Name your top 3 in the comment section below. Submissions must be received by September. Thereafter, the picks (and their order) will be tallied, with the definitive list being unveiled at a later date.
Be sure to keep it locked to find out who hit the most potent note and tops the list!
The Pop force tosses her name (and wig) into the chart melee that is the fourth quarter. Details surrounding her upcoming eighth album are being guarded with much ferocity, however the singer herself shared a snap of herself hard at work on the set of its lead single…‘Work Bitch’.
Taking to Twitter, her team she wrote:
Hot day on set… 😉 A little dirty, little flirty, danced my ASS off. Stoked for tomorrow!
We’d be lying if we said we weren’t a touch excited about the shot above, as well as the song’s title.
However, for us to really “turn up”, we to need Ms. Spears to show and prove (again). For, we’ve been hoodwinked one time too many times with promises of dancing one’s ass off, only to see body doubles and blank stares.
Still, we’re still eager to see how this plays out. With a title as grabbing ‘Work Bitch’, Britney (quite literally) has no choice but to do just that!
Beyonce’s Super Bowl extravangza this year was always going to be the hardest of shows to top; and though we’re not sure anyone on today’s charts could, Bruno Mars has officially been confirmed as the artist tasked with the job.
It was initially due for release on September 2012.
Alas, thanks to reasons that are still unclear to so many, Azealia Banks is still yet to release her debut LP ‘Broke With Expensive‘ and will not do so….until 2014.
Michelle Williams has her eyes on a hit with her latest single ‘If We Had Your Eyes’.
As fans continue to praise the tune’s accompanying music video (which premiered earlier this week), the singer preps those well trained heels for an extensive promo campaign in support of the song and its parent album ‘Journey To Freedom’.
But before you can get your hands on ‘Journey’, tuck in below to see Michelle’s sitdown with our bud Marc Lamont Hill over at HuffPost Live. There the ‘We Break the Dawn’ songstress broke news on her new single, shared her thoughts on Miley Cyrus‘ MTV twerk-tastrophe, and so much more.
As many await her sophomore album, it’s become increasingly apparent that Cassie is- and maybe always has been- an aspiring supermodel who just happened to walk into a recording contract…with no real intentions of pursuing a career in music.
However, as true as that may be, that doesn’t stop the world from being interested in both she and her endeavours. Once of which, saw her travel to Miami over the summer for a brief getaway!
Kanye West‘s ‘Yeezus’ may not have lived up to commercial expectations upon release this June, yet that hasn’t stopped the Hip-Hop titan from setting sail on a supporting tour.
The rapper has teamed up with burgeoning chart force Kendrick Lamar for the US leg of the trek, which kicks off next month.
We’re not sure what the tea is with Yeezy these days, but one thing is certain – he’s about to make major bank with this tour. As any Hip-Hop enthusiast will attest, Kanye’s shows are quite the spectacle and with Kendrick in the mix, this is quite literally a dream ticket.
Genius…. is the word of choice oft used to describe Troy Taylor, the man hailed for the part he continues to play in Trey Songz’ ever impressive run at the top of R&B.
Now, after watching the performer’s last album top the Billboard 200 last year, the Urban star maker has showered praise on ‘Baby I‘ singer Ariana Grande, hailing her….the new Mariah Carey.
Celebrated as more of an entertainer than a vocalist, the world has long made peace with Jennifer Lopez‘s “ability” as a singer. However, it appears such acceptance wasn’t as easy for the 44-year-old herself.
Speaking in the latest issue of Cosmopolitan, the premium diva revealed that – even at the height of her success – she was insecure about her vocal chops and often questioned “why” she has become so revered.
Her words on the matter and how she overcame it await after the jump…
