It’s been 8 years since Aaliyah died
7Eight years ago this time we lost one of the best soul and R&B stars that ever existed. Her music still resonates. Time flies by so quickly. When her last pre-death album Aaliyah was truly one of the best soul album ever. She left with us with three album, each of which had an impact on R&B in the 90s’. Her legacy will not fade. This song is so emotionally draining. Why is Toni Braxton acting all sexy in this video? The woman died!

Toni Braxton’s highly-anticipated new album has leaked more than Mishrif’s sewage system. So, this comes as no surprise that her team has gone for a complete revamp, which not only includes the songs, but also the theme and the cover. We reported previously about her older sleeve, but now this one is fiercer and more of a comeback look. Still, the news that she has directed the album towards a more “Jamaican” sound is not sitting well with us – we all know what happened with her ”Christmas In Jamaica” phase. The first single is set to debut in September. We will update the pic once a better quality image comes out.
Anna Wintour talks with David Letterman to promote “The September Issue”
Is she trying to break her ice queen image? She still looks as stale as a mo-fo. Can anyone tell me if that bob is a wig? She probably put Andre Leon Tally in a headlock. The documentary will probably be a water-down version of how she works with a bunch of taglines. You know she has complete control over what gets to see the light of day.

Fresh Label: No need for expiration date anymore…
Japan has had a little bit of a problem lately with expiration dates. So, they have invented this new Fresh Label that detects the levels of ammonia emanating from food and turns a different color when the food is bad enough not to eat. Yes, the age of the expiration date is over. This will give you freshness by shade. I hope they implement it real soon because that way it’s universal and more accurate.
Video: “Dangerous” by Cascada
2Who knew that an act created to satisfy the US’s thirst for eurotrash trance would be one of Germany’s most notable musical fixtures of the decade. Cascada, as annoying as her music is, is the next best thing to Basshunter for Europe and the US.

4If they brought diversity or not, they are good. Lil’ Mama, JC and that other judge (who thinks voguing is a new phenomenon when it actually is a quarter of a century old) need to step away from judging the difference and just judging the dance and show. Leyomi rules the club scene and balls and now she’s taking it mainstream!

Leona Lewis reveals album details for Echo

If Leona Lewis’s conveniently leaked song with Justin Timberlake isn’t enough to hype you up for her sophomore album, a few more juicy details will do the job. The album will be called Echo and it’s bound to get a release soon. It will come with a coffee table book about her rise from Pizza Hut waitress to international diva. Of course, it will be a more “mature” record and will have all kinds of wonderful ballads rejected by Celine Dion and Whitney Houston.
