Video: Mariah Carey ft. Miguel “#Beautiful”

0

Mariah is back with her lead single/video from her upcoming 14th album. The name of the song is “#Beautiful”. It features Grammy-winning R&B artist Miguel. Mariah was very smart in having Miguel team up with her on this wonderful new record. We love it here at the office. So far the record is looking to be a smash hit. Her first hit in 3 years. The video premiered on American Idol and we love it. Miguel is really doing his thing. We can’t wait to see what he cooked up with Beyonce in the studio. Check out the video!!

This should make for an interesting reality show. We love these women together.

Beyonce asks a question…..

Superstar Beyonce has had an interesting week.  First, she made history (AGAIN) by being asked to sing the national anthem at President Obama’s second inauguration.  Then, within 24 hours of that taking place, she has made headline news about her lip-syncing the national anthem.  Many singers lip-sync all the time at super huge events to make sure it goes off without a hitch. This is NOT Beyonce’s first time lip-syncing. She also lip-sync the National Anthem at the Super Bowl. FYI-The NFL makes singers turn in a pre-recorded vocal of the national anthem two weeks before the big game.  Yes! That means that Whitney Houston’s beloved rendition was ALSO lip-synced.  So with all this hoopla over Beyonce’s performance, she is now asking y’all in this photo above of her rehearsing, can she live?  It could be a message to all the naysayers out there, or she could be promoting her husband’s song of the same name.  Either way, let Beyonce continue to be great, and regardless of what, most people will be waiting to see her take the throne next Sunday (Feb. 3) at the Super Bowl. What are your thoughts?

We are back!!!!

R&B singer Lil’ Mo heads to Hollywood! (Deets inside!)

R&B powerhouse Lil’ Mo has made an announcement that she is moving to Hollywood. The ‘Wave Ya Flag’ songstress  followed that press release with a snippet into what appears to be a new reality show. In the clip (which you can watch below), you see Lil’ Mo take on Hollywood full force. She interacts with fans, potential new business partners, and also deals with the stress of trying to fit in the Hollywood scene as well as balance family life. In one particular scene she states that she is “a little bit ratchet” and doesn’t know if Hollywood is ready for it. In another scene, she is told that she needs to change her physical appearance. She is asked to change her hair color, and drop weight (watch for her reaction…lol). This is a great look for Lil Mo. If you think that wasn’t enough, she is also looking for 25 women to go Hollywood with her to focus on their dreams as well. We have always felt that she deserves to be on television. She has so much to still offer the world. Check out more details on this new journey at http://www.taminglilmo.com, and check out the trailer for Taming Lil Mo down below and let us know what you think:
