Getty Grammy weekend is officially underway. MusiCares kicked off the music-filled weekend with their annual Person Of The Year event. This year saw stars coming out to honor former Beatle and legend Paul McCartney . Alicia Keys attended and was the picture of class in her emerald green blouse and black skirt. Katy Perry went for a head-turning, all-pink ensemble, topped off with a huge rose petal hat. (Good luck to anyone sitting behind her!) Both singers honored McCartney with performances. Alicia reportedly sang "Blackbird," while Katy performed [...]

<!-- <!-- <!-- Here is some footage of Jay-Z bringing out Alicia Keys and Nas to perform 'Empire State Of Mind' and 'NY State Of Mind'. The video is far away but the audio is crisp. Nav with the find. Previously: Jay-Z & Kanye West – Niggas In Paris (Video)

MA: Nas, Alicia Keys, Jay-Z: Side A (The performers themselves, predictably) claim Carnegie Hall means a supreme moment for Hip-Hop. Side B (My brain) tells me this is a non-moment for Hip-Hop. Irrelevant, not true, nutso. What do you think? Like a strange physics law, that as soon as you see something it changes, it is not the same as when you did not see it. As soon as hip-hop climbs a stage reserved for classical art, it stops being hip-hop. ? Or does it not? [...]

The late, great Etta James, who died last month at the age of 73, will be honored with a special performance during the 2012 Grammy Awards . Though many artists have contributed stunning covers of James' classic songs , Alicia Keys and Bonnie Raitt have been chosen to tribute the iconic singer during the telecast. We have no doubt Keys and Raitt will deliver a memorable performance, but we must stress the importance of avoiding to spray-tan tight before the show .

Nominated for Grammys, forever ago.​The painful Grammy Awards press releases would be reason enough not to take part in the yearly award show, but Bon Iver's Justin Vernon decided to opt his band out

I am kicking myself right now, wishing I had copped a ticket to see Jay-Z perform at Carnegie Hall. Now that I have missed out on the first night, and I most certainly will not be able to cough up several hundred bucks to see him tonight, the best we can do is catch some of the footage. Here is a short clip of Hov performing " Glory ", the song he recently dedicated to his new daughter. The event was met with all sorts of special guests, including ?uestlove and Young Guru as part of the orchestra, and Alicia Keys [...]

Last night, Jay-Z played a benefit for United Way of New York City and The Shawn Carter Scholarship Foundation at NYC's Carnegie Hall - he plays again tonight - and though most of the public was priced out by ticket prices in the hundreds and thousands, there were still enough Elliott Wilson s and Jon Caramanicas there to give the rest of us heavy FOMO. Amongst the highlights: Jay-Z and Nas doing Illmatic 's "N.Y. State Of Mind," Jay rapping a medley of Reasonable Doubt classics from the balcony during the encore [...]

After posting gangbusters ratings following the Super Bowl last night, The Voice returned for part two of the blind auditions. The show kicked off with the judges taking on a few of Prince's greatest hits in a pyrotechnic crowd-pleaser. Christina Aguilera, sporting a leather sort of Statue of Liberty crown, led on "Party Like it's 19993; Cee Lo Green drove through "Little Red Corvette" in red sequined footie pajamas — appropriately; Adam Levine put his falsetto to good use on "I Wanna Be Your Lover"; and Blake Shelton wrapped country twang around "Kiss" for the finale.

I love it when America discovers someone talented that the rest of the world has known about for months, even years! Today, the talent I'm referring to is Scottish singer/songwriter Emeli Sandé . Sandé is due to release her debut album, Our Version of Events on June 5th via Capitol Records . This is HUGE ! I'm envisioning lots of promotion, performances on The Tonight Show , The Ellen DeGeneres Show (except I think [...]

Between tomorrow night's performance on Saturday Night Live and their multiple Grammy nominations , it's a big two weeks for Justin Vernon and Bon Iver . Consequently, Vernon and Co. are doing a lot of press, which has led to a lot of choice quotes regarding a number of different things. First and foremost: Bon Iver will not be performing at the Grammys. In an interview with Billboard , Vernon said the band turned down the opportunity to play after being told they'd have to share the stage [...]

After last year's Grammys, when Arcade Fire performed dodging Mat Hoffman bike-tricks and then immediately won the Album Of The Year award, the award show has a high standard to live up to when it comes to ridiculous and implausible but kind of awesome indie-rock performances. But even though Bon Iver got nominated for a boatload of Grammys and s howed up in a Grammy ad , we won't get a chance to see Justin Vernon singing "Holocene" from the bottom of Tony Hawk's halfpipe. As it turns out, Bon Iver isn't performing at this year's ceremony. [...]

No one likes a collaboration like Bon Iver likes a collaboration; from Kanye West to Flaming Lips (skirting over that James Blake one) and now Alicia Keys. Talking to USA Today Justin Vernon explained his forthcoming plans to work with Alicia Keys among other names; "I have a big idea to do an American songbook of the greatest women singers. There are so many: Casey [Dienel] from White Hinterland, Bonnie Raitt, Alicia... [I'd make] a one-off charity album to have an excuse to work with a bunch of people that I'd choose to work with, all [...]

On the heels of Jack White's new album announcement as well as the unveiling of Blunderbuss 's first single " Love Interruption ," we thought it was time to revisit the hits - not the literal ones , unfortunately - of White's wide-reaching, strange and prolific career so far. So, here's 13 of Jack White's most memorable collaborations. Sorry Bobby D . For once, you didn't make the cut. 13. Insane Clown Posse and JEFF The Brotherhood w/ Jack White Definitely one of the higher-ranking moments in Jack White's "WTF?" register, White [...]

Post enjoying a week-long vacation in Hawaii town, the ALICIA KEYS , her he-lover the SWIZZ BEATZ and child were jpeged arriving at the Kauai Airport to catch a departing flight. She-popper and child got the one arm up one arm down routine synched to the tee.

Will.I.Am sta per ritornare con un nuovo album di inediti. Dopo il fallimento del precedente "Songs About Girls" e la non bella accoglienza da parte del pubblico del nuovo singolo "T.H.E (The Hardest Ever)", il frontman dei Black Eyed Peas cerca di far crescere l'hype sul suo nuovo progetto, dal titolo "#willpower", annunciando featuring di tutto rispetto. In primis figura il nome di Britney Spears . La popstar ricambierà al rapper il favore (ha prodotto "Big Fat Bass") duettando con lui in una nuova traccia sulla quale non abbiamo informazioni. Stesso discorso per Shakira [...]

Will.i.am went hard with Jennifer Lopez and Mick Jagger , but there are plenty more guest stars lined up for his forthcoming solo album #willpower . The Black Eyed Pea recently revealed quite an impressive list of collaborators — his "Big Fat Bass" lady Britney Spears, as well as Alicia Keys, Swizz Beatz, Swedish House Mafia, Shakira, LMFAO and Busta Rhymes. Oh, and there's more: "I made this song with Nicole Scherzinger that you would never expect," he said, explaining that his collab with The X Factor judge [...]

There's a reason why we lauded Alicia Keys when her debut album Songs In A Minor dropped a little more than a decade ago. The young piano prodigy had the look of a new age starlet, Billie Holid... Continue reading "Revisiting Alicia Keys' 'Songs In A Minor'" >
