Watch Lady Gaga's artRave Concert In Its Entirety



The title says it all really! Recorded in Paris, this show marked the finale of the Diva's 79 date tour. Yahoo streamed the concert live on Monday, but here it is- swears and all- for you to enjoy!

Anyone have two hours plus to spare? (I currently don't)

[Improvement] Mariah Carey Delivers Best "Emotions" Performance Of The Elusive Chanteuse Tour



Mariah Carey's The Elusive Chanteuse tour has officially ended. Though it started off rocky, vocally speaking, the Diva's voice has seen consistent improvements as she's crossed off the dates on her Hello Kitty calender.

Grace Jones' "Original Beast" Will Slay and Give You Life, All At The Same Time!



OMG, Grace Jones is a national treasure. No. Scrap that. She is a planetary treasure! Four decades in, still cutting edge and slaying everyone with her musical output! "They broke the mold when they made me", indeed.

Offering up her supernatural talents to the The Hunger Games Mockingjay Part 1 OST, Ms. Jones  has delivered to us another stunner with the tribal/reggae-fused Original Beast. In fact, this track is so vibrant and crack-like that everything I've listened to, post hearing it, has sounded grey and desaturated...will I ever return to Oz again?! Glinda, where are yooooooooou!!?

Note:The video linked features the entire Hunger Games Mockingjay Part 1 soundtrack, so feel free to listen and discuss that too!

[Discuss/ Watch] All Videos From "Beyonce" The Album Come To YouTube


Beyonce's fifth LP was labelled "groundbreaking" not only because of the way it was released, but also for how it came bundled with a video for each of the album's 14 tracks.

[Watch] Divas Rock the 2014 AMAs



The 2014 American Music Awards happened yesterday at the Nokia Theater in LA. Amidst the boring award giving, there was a peppering of Divas who took to the stage to entertain and amuse.

The standout of which had to be Jessie J, who absolutely smashed it with Bang Bang. Even though she was sharing a stage with two- arguably more famous- Divas, Jessie remained unbothered, out shining both with nothing but voice and charisma. This woman was born to be on stage.

(Also, Taylor Swift takes a little bit more of my heart every time I see her getting her life at an award show. I'm worried soon they'll be no more to take!)

[Watch] X-Factor Does Whitney Houston



The X-Factor isn't something I usually watch. However, with this being the Whitney Houston Vs Elton John week (an odd pairing, no?) I thought I'd give it a go.

Thankfully, after watching the show, I wasn't in tears, flogging myself for not giving up my weekends to the alter of X-Factor anymore. Instead, I felt more secure in my decision, realising just how average most of the contestants were when there was no sympathetic backstory clouding judgment.

[Music Video] Beyonce - "7/11"



Beyonce is cranking up the hype for the November 24th re-release date of her self-titled, and critically acclaimed, fifth LP.

Yesterday the diva offered up previews of the two new cuts that grace the set- no doubt pushed to do so by both slipping through Bey’s previously impenetrable force field and leaking. Pretty much off the bat 7/11 was universally panned with many decrying it “beneath” the Diva- that’s a great sign that I’ll end up loving it. The second leak, Ring Off, was more warmly received, speaking on mama Tina Knowles' divorce from love rat husband, Matthew. This track, while lyrically interesting, I actually found musically boring.
