UK superstar Leona Lewis performed her first single “Happy” for the first time last night on America’s Got Talent…

The song is off Leona’s new album Echo. Her voice is undeniably great, but this song? Eh.

…As I thought when I dropped Alicia’s new single “Doesn’t Mean Anything”, the song has really grown on me. I actually love it. So, I’m definitely looking forward to the new album. I wasn’t really a fan of her last album, I missed the soulful steeze she had on her first two albums, but I have high hopes for this one.
Peace, Love & Alicia Keys

Good Lord, Whitney looks incredible!!! I really like this video, it’s not mad-crazy visually, but it works brilliantly with the song. Really like this.
Big, big, big week for Whitney!

The interview continues. Watch it, discuss it and I’ll come back with my thoughts in a bit. Another brilliant interview, I have to give it to Oprah. She did a great job. None of us have ever seen or heard Whitney like this. Her honestly is not only shocking, but it’s also refreshing and admirable. Not a lot of celebs can do what she has done in these interviews. When she spoke about Michael Jackson, man, that was something special.
Check out Whitney’s performance HERE. And watch Part 1 HERE.
Again – discuss!
Peace, Love & Whitney Houston

P.s “I Look To You” was written for Whitney 10 years ago? Wow!
[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CiUoIDQOcC8&feature=player_embedded]
WOW! That was some emotion filled performance, huh? Whitney looked incredible and while I won’t sit here and lie by saying her voice was pitch perfect, it wasn’t – but on this occasion, that’s not really the point. Whitney Houston singing “I Didn’t Know My Own Strength” is a true testament to how strong she really is.
Now, I do wonder however – how is she going to sing those big iconic ballads we all know and love? Because I for one have a stupidly high expectation when it comes to her classic material and well, with these new found vocals – I’m just not entirely sure how that’s going to hold up. Eh, maybe I’m being too harsh? Either way, she’s back and I for one am happy and thankful.
Update: Watch the full interview here: Part 1 // Part 2

Here goes a snippet of Alicia Keys’ official first single of her up-coming album.
Alicia Keys – “Doesn’t Mean Anything” [Full]
I don’t love this track, but I think it has grower potential. I didn’t like “No One” at first, but after a few listens I grew to love it and now it’s one of my favourite Alicia Keys tracks. This reminds me a lot of that joint and so I’m not going to completely disregard it.
What do YOU think?
Peace, Love & Alicia Keys

Big love to Brittany Bosco (download her EP immediately if you haven’t already) for putting me on this.
Alex Goose says:
In the of Spring 2009, an A&R afflicated with the Roc got in contact with me. Shortly after, I had the opportunity to submit various tracks for Jay-Z’s long awaited Blueprint 3 album. Unfortunately, none of them made the final cut. After letting people hear what I sent Hova (including people who know him), they all suggested I release them for the public to hear. This is what the Blueprint 3 could have been…
I haven’t had a chance to download and listen to this yet, but it sounds pretty dope! Definitely a good look for Alex Goose – congrats!

New DOOM? I’m happy.
DOOM is one of the most original and uncompromising voices in hip-hop. From his work in the 90’s with the seminal KMD to his legendary releases under a variety of aliases including MF Doom, Madvillain, King Geedorah, Viktor Vaughn, Dangerdoom & more, his prolific body of work has always valued artistic integrity and creativity over anything else. As numerous and varied as his albums are, DOOM also has a thick catalog of guest appearances, remixes, non-album tracks, & vinyl only singles. For the first time, Unexpected Guests presents many of these hard to find tracks as a mix CD, executed and overseen by the Super Villain himself.
With a list of co-conspirators which includes marquee level names such as Talib Kweli, Ghostface & GZA as well as underground heroes Vast Aire, CountBass D & Kurius, the music on this disc highlights DOOM’s ever-present trademark wit and taste for raw and ominous beats. On “Trap Door,” he spits couplets like “No curse words / DOOM the worst church nerd verse heard” over a plucked bass and guitar line from producer Jake One that sounds like the funkiest spy movie soundtrack imaginable. “Sniper Elite” sees the emcee united with the late J Dilla, and is one of the many tracks featured that has yet to see an official CD release. The album will also feature a never before heard live version of DOOM’s classic “I Hear Voices” from the Operation Doomsday album.
Peppered with his signature comic book dialogue and vintage sound clips, Unexpected Guests presents a treasure trove of DOOM obscurities which should shed light on material that even some hardcore fans may have missed. It’s a frenetic, virtuosic look at a true hip-hop original.

Peace, Love & DOOM
