We’re not sure who the genius is that brought these two ladies together but Q.U.E.E.N is a great collaboration for Janelle Monae and Ms. Erykah Badu. If you’re looking for a pop record you won’t get one here.

The uptempo record exudes female empowerment and lots of positive vibes. It’s a reminder that there is still authentic music out there for our ears. The single will be featured on Monae’s forthcoming album The Electric Lady.Check it out below and tell us what you think.

53rd Grammy Awards Red Carpet: Who Wore What?

The 53rd  Grammy Awards red carpet arrivals were all about the ladies last night. Some looked stunning while others, not so much.


Jennifer Hudson looked amazing in her Versace gown and Louboutin shoes.


Rihanna’s barely there dress caught the attention of many I am sure.


I’m a bit up in arms about Ciara’s look. On one hand she looks stunning and on another its a bit glamazon. What do you think?


What in the world was Nicki wearing? I’m confused.

Keri looked stunning.

The 53rd Grammy Awards Performances

For all who watched, there’s no secret, the Grammy Award ceremony was a bit of a snooze fest this year. Nonetheless, here are some note worthy performances.

Yolonda Adams
, Jennifer Hudson, Christina Aguilera, Florence Welch, and Martina McBride opened the show with a tribute to the Queen of Soul Aretha Franklin.

Clearly this was also an effort for Christina to redeem herself after her National Anthem flub during the Super Bowl.

Lady Gaga (Madonna’s spawn) performed new single ‘Born This Way’.

Not a surprise, they recruited Ricky Martin who not long ago announced he was indeed a homosexual man to introduce Lady Gaga and Elton John. Fitting for the occasion I suppose.

Probably the best performance of the night, Bruno Mars, B.O.B and Janelle Monae performing a medley of their songs ‘Nothing on You’, ‘Grenade’ and ‘Cold World’. Paying tribute to the old school while giving a little something new.

Willow Smith is not the only Smith spawn pursuing a music career I see. The Smith clan is surely taking over. And of course Usher performed hit ‘OMG’.

Cee-Lo Green Feat. Gwyneth Paltrow “Forget You”

probably the most colorful performance of the night.

Janelle Monae: Performs “Tightrope” on ‘DWTS’

Singer Janelle Monae brought the house down with her performance of “Tightrope” on Tuesday night’s ‘Dancing With the Stars’. She did a phenomenal job. It’s a wonder how such talented and soulful artists, much like Monae, do not initially achieve the commercial success their pop counterparts do.
