Fox Boogie shouted out her lawyer in the front row and thanked Russell Simmons “for signing me and starting my career.” One fashionita who was not feeling Foxy was Vogue’s Andre Leon Talley… apparently Fox boogied her way over to Talley after spotting his unapproving face in the front row. The editor turned his chair away from her in response.

Take a look at Foxy working the crowd:

Brandy performed during the “R&B Live Hollywood” set at the Key Club last night and, in addition to belting out some of her own hits, she killed her performance covering Etta James’ classic “At Last.” We first heard her sing the tune a couple of months ago (VIDEO: Brandy Belts Out “At Last” In Her Bathroom), but this takes the cake.

It even garnered praise from fellow R&B songstress Chrisette Michele, who was in attendance.

Before performing, Brandy had this to say:

“I love this song because I believe that when you speak things into existence, it can actually manifest. I wanna sing this song because I really want to find my divine soulmate. Wherever he is, this is dedicated to you.”

Janelle Monae hit up the Late Show With David Letterman last night to promote her new album The ArchAndroid. Monae, who’s about to hit the road with Erykah Badu and N.E.R.D., gave a rousing performance of “Tightrope” that saw her shuffle around, whip off her jacket and then finally don a robe, James Brown-style, while soulfully belting out the end of the song. Letterman even coaxed Diddy to come on stage when Monae finished (she’s signed to the rap mogul’s Bad Boy label).

Rihanna hit the town in Berlin last night after performing an emotional concert. Concert-goers say that at the end of “Fire Bomb,” she fell to the ground wiping tears away.

Watch the video below for yourself (the emotions begin at the 2:50 mark)

And the lyrics she was singing:

Baby, we were killin’ ‘em / They couldn’t handle the millionth degree / We were criminals / As we were burning, the world called the police / Fire department, ambulance / You can call me crazy ’cause I believe / The only move for me and you / Is to go out blazing

Is this genuine or just a case of over-acting?

FROM MTV: Trey Songz’ “MTV Unplugged” performance premiered today (April 26) on MTV.com.

He started the show off cheekily: “Shout-out to the guys with their girls,” he said before chuckling as he pointed at a man in the crowd: “He like, ‘Yeah, what up.’ “

The Virginia native showcased a number of the hits from his latest album, Ready, including a mash-up of “I Invented Sex” and Marvin Gaye’s classic “Let’s Get It On.”

And for a cover of Kings of Leon’s “Use Somebody,” Songz brought up an overwhelmed admirer from the audience.

Other covers included Jimmy Cliff’s “Many Rivers to Cross” and Sam Cooke’s “A Change Is Gonna Come.”

Eventually, a somber Songz took his jacket off and opened up about his recent good fortune. Taking a seat, he talked about his visit to the White House with Jay-Z and Beyoncé in March. The singer grew more emotional as he discussed the trip, recalling words his grandmother had spoken to him. He eventually became completely overwhelmed, tearing up and describing the chance to perform on “Unplugged” as “monumental.” SOURCE

FROM FLYNEWS: Whitney Houston’s first concert in Britain in more than a decade has received mixed reviews with some fans describing it as “horrendous,” The BBC reports.

The 46-year-old singer kicked off the European leg of her tour in Birmingham, playing to a sold-out crowd after battling an upper respiratory infection for the past two weeks. Houston was forced to postpone a concert in Paris and her first three gigs in the UK while she recovered, but a number of fans were left confused and $200 poorer after Houston croaked her way through her signature ballads, often failing to hit the right notes during last night’s show.

According to Yahoo.com’s “Snap, Crackle, Pop” Column, the diva was booed by fans on a number of occasions during a set. And don’t get us started on her shaky rendition of “I Will Always Love You.” Many fans turned to the Internet to voice their displeasure with Houston’s show:

On Twitter, SymphonyUK said: “It’s a shame Whitney didn’t lip-synch, like Britney did.”

One fan told London’s Daily Mail: “I was waiting for the Trading Standards guys to call a halt and offer us our money back. It was a con, a rip off. It wasn’t a concert.”

One fan told a local radio station: “She was rasping and rambling. She couldn’t sing, it was horrendous and I shall be asking for my money back.”

“The Sun” newspaper: “Time and crack addiction – which she claims to have beaten – have not been kind to her once astonishing voice. It is now deeper and huskier. Houston, we still have a problem.” READ MORE HERE!
