Owl Mag writer Sean Morris analyzes the background noise that defined his days as a math/science/theater/chamber music/gangsta rap nerd.

Durante el fin de semana se llevó a cabo el funeral de Whitney Houston en la iglesia New Hope Baptist Church en Newmark. Cientos de amigos y familiares se reunieron para despedirla después de su repentino y trágico fallecimiento la noche previa a la entrega de los GRAMMY. Dionne Warwick, prima de Whitney Houston, fue la anfitriona durante la ceremonia, a la que asistieron, entre muchos otros: Clive Davis, Kevin Costner, Stevie Wonder, Oprah Winfrey, Alicia Keys, Jennifer Hudson, Mariah Carey y Mary J. Blige. El funeral fue bastante largo y la mayoría de los participantes [...]

The NBA All-Star Game will be an event both basketball fans and Top 40 worshipers won't want to miss. Pitbull and Ne-Yo will perform "Give Me Everything" at the All-Star Game Halftime Show, while Nicki Minaj will perform a medley of her songs (including her new single "Starships" , and hopefully omitting "Roman Holiday" ). The following day, Flo Rida and will.i.am will perform during the NBA All-Star Saturday Night events, and Gym Class Heroes and J. Cole will kick off the whole shebang at the NBA All-Star Pregame Show. Oh, and if that wasn't enough for you, [...]

Leave it to Wendy Williams to get right to the juicy stuff. Mary J. Blige made her first appearance on the colorful talk show, and its effervescent host sure didn't shy away from heavy topics like motherhood, marital problems, and substance abuse. The Oscar-snubbed songbird opened up about all this and more when questioned about how she can continue drinking even after a long battle with cocaine addiction. Said Mary: "I don't need alcohol to get me out of a depression or get me out of a bad moment, but I have occasional drinks with my friends." [...]

Born Mary Jane Blige on January 11, 1971 in Savannah GA, Mary J. was raised in the housing projects in Yonkers, NY. Mary got her musical start, when her stepfather passed along a tape she recorded in a karaoke machine in the local mall, to Uptown records. She was signed up with Uptown records as a background singer for local artist. While at Uptown, Sean "Puffy" Combs became her mentor and assisted her with the production of her first album in 1991, What's the 411? With her bad girl urban image, Mary has always been known for sharing her life [...]

Drake is unstoppable.

Here is another installment of "Who did it better"? I know the song is old but I can't stop listening to it. This time it is the song Titanium by David Guetta . I think it is the best and standout track on "Nothing But the Beat" and doesn't feature any R&B/Hip-hop artist. The song just shot right into the Top 10 UK Singles in 2012 having only peaked at #16 last summer. Thanks in part of the music video and the song is damn good. Originally [...]

Though The Help scored several Oscar nominations this morning for Best Picture, Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress, Mary J. Blige's original song for the film, "The Living Proof" , ended up being passed over. And Mary is sharing her disappointment about the lack of (real) love for her tune. "I'm so thankful for true fans like you all," the singer tweeted . "It saddens me & feels like the Academy is being mean. 2 only nominate 2 of the 5 slots is..."

On February 5, Indianapolis will host Super Bowl XLVI — the 46th iteration of America's biggest game. Millions of fans will gather 'round the television set with seven-layer dip and cold drinks to watch an epic match-up of teams, the year's funniest and most expensive commercials and most importantly — as far as we're concerned — Madonna's Super Bowl halftime show .

It might be a bit early to call Brooke Taylor the next Mary J. Blige or Chaka Khan but one could begin there when describing Taylor's soulful sound.

Having caught the attention of audience members, radio DJs and artists alike, Taylor's music has traveled the world and is steadily adding to the repertoire of talented [...]

May the best man win: He did! Elton John is at it again. This time it's him against Madonna, and as usual, he started it. On the red carpet at Sunday's Golden Globes, when Carson Daly asked him about the Best Original Song contest, which pitted him against Madonna, Mary J. Blige, Chris Cornell and Glenn Close, Elton, who once called Madonna's "Die Another Day" the worst James Bond song ever, said, ""Madonna hasn't got have a f**king chance of winning tonight". Fighting words? "Accurate words." Oops! [...]
