Justin Timberlake Covers 'Golf Digest'
New Music: Justin Timberlake Featuring Esmee Denters - 'Follow My Lead'
It seems like he is, more so, the featured artist, that said, the track is still pretty lackluster.
New Music Roundup: Beyonce / Ciara
Pretty good, in fact, better than a bulk of the material that actually made the album.
A track from Ciara's forthcoming album ‘Fantasy Ride’ surfaced, in the form of the Danja produced, 'I’m On'. Check it out:
Decent effort, at least for Ciara.
Beyonce Blasted For Lack Of Originality
Britney Spears Performs ‘Womanizer’ On The French ‘Star Academy'
Better than the first one, but still not the performance Britney needs to deliver. That said, both of her performances were still better than most of her peers, for me, she just hasn't delivered a performance that matches any of her personal best.
Christina Aguilera & Alicia Keys Perform On CNN's Heroes Special
Christina Aguilera - 'Beautiful'
Absolutely AMAZING. Christina, IMO, is the best female vocalist hands down, Mariah, Beyonce, Alicia, all take a back seat to her in that department, and its really evident why in this performance.
Alicia Keys - 'Superwoman'
Good Performance.
Ashanti ‘Shines’ at Macy's Thanksgiving Celebration
Beautifully done.
New Music: Ashanti - 'Crime'
Love it. Ashanti, IMO, is seriously underrated not only as an artist and songstress, but also as an songwriter, which is sometimes understandable considering it can come across a little fourth gradish at times, but when she gets it right, the singer hits the nail straight on the head.
Britney Spears' 1st Live Performance of 'Womanizer'
Decent performance, but like I said, Britney really needed a killer performance to cement her return in most people's eyes, mine included, and this just didn't measure up. That said, the singer looked beautiful and it was MILES better than her VMA showing.
She also collected the award for 'Best International Popstar', watch below:
Ludacris Visits ‘The Late Show With David Letterman'
Rap star Ludacris hit up 'The Late Show with David Letterman' on Wednesday. He was interviewed (above) and performed 'One More Drink' with T-Pain (below).
Jamie Foxx Featuring T.I. - 'Just Like Me' Video
The video is too cute and the song is pretty good too.
Is Mariah Carey Pregnant?
Mariah came up with all sorts of excuses for not sipping the bubbly including “It’s just fattening,” “This is peer pressure,” and “I only drink after 3 p.m.”
Watch the interview below:
She has been looking a little chunky lately, so my guess is yes.

Beyonce Shines On 'The Tyra Banks Show'
It's nice to see Beyonce's personality, which is often missing in her interviews or anything for that matter, but she has to use something to sell that lackluster album.
'If I Were A Boy'
'Single Ladies'
The performances were just grand, but it kind of bothers me that Beyonce put more energy and spunk (in form of two male dancers), than was present in her AMA performance. Good Stuff and IMO the best performance of 'Single Ladies' to date. 'If I Were A Boy', was emotional, and either Jay-Z has been a bad boy lately or the singer's acting skills have vastly improved.

Aubrey O’Day Sheds Clothes for Playboy
The ex-Danity Kane member spent all day at a Manhattan photo studio on Tuesday doing a spread for the popular men’s magazine, according to TMZ.com. The photos were taken by photographer Markus Klinko (Mariah Carey, Beyoncé). Lion cubs were supposedly involved in the shoot.

Simply joyful, I loved it.

Stellar from beginning to end.
Divas II Performances
Leona Lewis - 'Run'
Well sung.
Pink - 'So What'
As always, Pink rocked it out.
Rihanna - 'Disturbia'
Only a mere days after giving Rihanna props for her AMA performance, I have to do that exact opposite, given the singer's performance didn't house a single in tune note. Bad Stuff.

Britney Spears - 'Circus' Video Preview
It looks like Britney is pulling out all the stops. Good Stuff.
On The Set: Britney Spears' 'Rolling Stone' Shoot
She looks great.
New Music Roundup: Chris Brown / Ciara / LeToya
Decent effort.
Rumors have been swirling recently that Ciara has completely scrapped earlier 'Fantasy Ride' recordings and began work on new sessions, but no confirmation, that said, a song has surfaced from the earlier sessions called 'The Fit of Love'. Check it out:
Sort of an unexpected cut from CiCi, I'm not sure if I'm really buying her voice on the pop influenced track, but not a bad effort.
With Letoya's sophomore album set for release in 2009, two snippets titled ‘Lazy’ and ‘Don’t Need You’ surfaced. Check them out respectively below:
Both joints are winners.
Leona Lewis - 'Run' Video
Well sung, but its amazing how this chick finds new ways to go beyond BORING.
Ne-Yo - 'Mad' Video
Conceptually, Ne-Yo's best video yet and the song is pretty nice too.
Movie Premieres: 'Cadillac Records'
Gabrielle Union looks elegant, and apparently Beyonce took to her role so well, that Gabby is singing her praises (Read Here). That said, I'm not feeling Beyonce's dress, but her hair and makeup was up to par, Lauren London also worked it out.

Jesse McCartney - 'Its Over' Video
The video for Jesse McCartney's second single, 'Its Over', premiered recently. The track, produced by The Clutch, is taken from his stellar Pop/R&B album 'Departure'. The song is solid R&B influenced cut and the video does a good job of meshing well with the song. Jesse and his album, IMO, were both highly overlooked this year.
On The Set: Beyonce - 'Diva' Video (Part 2)
Ludacris & T-Pain Take Over 'SNL'
Ludacris and T-Pain shared musical guesting duties on “Saturday Night Live.” Ludacris performed “One More Drink” with T-Pain (above) and Luda returned the favor later in the show by performing “Chopped N Skrewed” with Pain (below).
The two also participated in a comedy sketch with Andy Samberg and Kenan Thompson. T-Pain better watch out ’cause the Blizzard Man is coming for him. Watch below.
Good Stuff.
New Music: Beyonce Featuring R. Kelly - 'If I Were A Boy (Remix)'
R. Kelly schools Beyoncé on what it’s like to be a boy on the male response to her hit 'If I Were a Boy'. “But you’re not a boy, so you don’t have a clue,” he croons.
Decent effort.
Chris Brown Becomes ‘Superstar’ On Third LP
The 19-year-old crooner says the Material Girl would be his dream duet for a track on his upcoming CD "Graffiti," which is due out next year. He says he'd also love to work with Coldplay. He's collaborated with Jordin Sparks, David Banner and girlfriend Rihanna in the past.
Brown predicts that "Graffiti" will be a bigger project for him. Speaking from the red carpet at the American Music Awards, the platinum-selling R&B star said: "It's going to be my stepping stone from Chris Brown to superstar."
If he's not there yet, he's close. Brown took home trophies at the Sunday awards show for favorite pop-rock and soul-R&B male artist while his gal pal Rihanna won favorite pop-rock and soul-R&B female artist awards.
American Music Awards 2008 Performance Review
Christina Aguilera Medley
Can't say I'm impressed, it started out good with 'Beautiful' and even the lackluster 'Keeps Gettin' Better', but from then on it took a turn for the worse and became a hooping and hollering fest. The dancing was limited by her choice in shoes, although dancing has never been her strong suit, she always had the vocals to back that up, but even that wasn't present here. Make no mistake, she's still hands down the best female vocalist out, but she's currently 0 for 2, if you count her VMA showing.
Taylor Swift - White Horse
Cute song and even though she has a barely there voice, this is actually one of her better showings.
Miley Cyrus - Fly On the Wall
Can someone please fill me in on what's so great about this girl?
She can't sing, she can't act, and normally that would mean she's, at least, hot, but that isn't the case here, so honestly can someone fill me in? Because the girl possesses has ZERO talent.
Beyonce - Single Ladies (Put a Ring On It)
The body framing entrance was cute, but that was it, as the performances was just a lame rehash at the same thing we've seen her display during recent appearances on SNL, TRL, 106 & Park, and all the other outlets she used to promote the album. I expected the routine to be the same, but I also expected her to do something more to the performance, instead of the normal. Beyonce, normally goes all out and slays the competition during award shows, but that Beyonce isn't present in this performance, AT ALL.
Vocally, Nicole was all over the place, but the performance itself wasn't bad, but kind of what you expect from the girls. I still wish vocals were shared more with Melody, given her live showings are a little more stable than Nicole's.
Kanye West - Heartless
Good performance.
Leona Lewis - Better in Time
Vocally, this woman is beyond AMAZING, but unfortunately she is also beyond BORING.
New Kids On The Block Medley
Hmmmm...
The Jonas Brothers
I echo everything I said about Miley Cyrus, with the exception of the cute part.
Rihanna - Rehab
I never, ever, ever ,ever, ever thought I would say this, but SHE NAILED IT.
Visually she looked stunning and vocally she was on point, that said I am a little baffled as to why Justin didn't join her on stage, given he was there, but BEST RIHANNA PERFORMANCE BY A MILE.
Alicia Keys - Superwoman
With the help of Queen Latifah and Kathleen Battle, Alicia delivered a great performance. Always the trendsetter, she combined R&B, Hip-hop, and Opera, and Queen Latifah is so multi-talented its ridiculous.
Mariah Carey - I Stay In Love
Her and Nick in the beginning (too cute), but the performance was lackluster at best, Mariah has never been a strong performer and with the current state of her voice, that's not changing anytime soon. I still say I would rather her lip sync and just put more energy and thought into the performance itself.
Sarah McLachlan & Pink - Angel
Vocally good. Pink also performed 'Sober', which also saw strong vocals, but the performance has yet to surface on Youtube.
Neyo's lackluster performance also wasn't present, but I will update when it does.
Overall, I was highly disappointed with the show that failed to live up to the expectations you would think the star studded lineup would have produced.
Best of the Night:
Rihanna, singing in tune, absolutely nothing tops it. Alicia, trendsetting and different, wasn't in love with it, but I just appreciate the fact that this lady's artistry has no bounds.
Disappointing:
Beyonce, is quickly proving, Rihanna's dominance might not come to an end as quickly as her fans think. Step your game up.
Worst of the Night:
The show as a whole.
As for the winners, they were all types of wrong, Chris Brown as Artist of the Year, child please.
