[Listening Party/ Discuss/ First Thoughts] "Me. I Am Mariah...The Elusive Chanteuse"

I'm not sure this was a good idea from team Mariah. As of today, the entirety of Me. I Am Mariah...The Elusive Chanteuse has been put up on Itunes Radio for streaming. (And as of a millisecond after that moment, I'm sure it was ripped and made available, illegally.) Still, what do I know!

Iggy Azalea and Ariana Grande Perform @ Billboard Music Awards 2014

Can't even be bothered to watch, nor review this performance of Iggy Azalea and Ariana Grande- but I'll post it since some of you guys might want to enjoy/discuss it.

Jennifer Lopez Serves Voice With "First Love" @ 2014 Billboard Awards

Awarded some kind of Icon award at the 2014 Billboard Awards, Jennifer Lopez was definitely being shown some love by the chart compilers on the night.

Katy Perry Celebrates fan's "Birthday" @ 2014 Billboard Music Awards

I'm convinced Katy Perry uses all the colours and visual aides to distract us from how basic she really is.

Shakira Makes Billboard Music Award Audience Very Happy With "Empire" Performance

With whispers of Shakira lipping Empire when she took the song to The Voice (US), it seemed like the Diva had something to prove at the 2014 Billboard Music Awards, where she a gave another rendition of the rocky ballad.

[Watch] Mariah Carey Showcases New Song From "Me.I Am Mariah" @ Toyota Summer Concert

Mariah Carey is back in the public eye, gearing up for the release of new album Me.I Am Mariah… The Elusive Chanteuse.

The latest outing saw the Diva give a live concert in the heart of the Big Apple where she performed Touch My Body, fan-favorite Always Be My Baby and A NEW SONG, in the disco-inspired You Don’t Know What To Do.

It wasn't Mimi at her most polished, but early mornings and open air will do that to her voice. There were some promising notes and "moments" - forgetting the words to Always Be My Baby, anyone?- throughout. But the thing that irked me most was big-mouth Wale talking during the intro to You Don't Know My Name. Someone better smack that guy upside his head have a quiet word with that dude. You do NOT talk over Mariah Carey- EVER!

[Free For All Friday]

Damn you O2, I will not "be more dog"! CAT PERSON 4 LIFE! And with that, let me take a moment to pay homage to Tara, the brave moggie who saved a child from being (further) mauled by an apparently free roaming dog!!! PUSSY POWER.....


If you don't know the score, here be the rules:

• Try not to get too perverted- this site needs to basically be "safe for work".
• If somebody starts a controversial subject, try keeping it civil when dealing with it. If things get out of hand please flag the conversation.
• It would be nice if it stuck to music, but it's not a requirement! So talk about news, current events, how you're getting your hair done next time you hit the hairdresser! Whateves, really!
• No nasty comments aimed at other users.

Inappropriate hugs to all of y'all (hi fives to the underagers), and wishing you an awesome weekend!
