Here's the new video from Bow Wow "You Can Get It All". The reason why I love this song so much is because it samples one of my all-time favorite songs, TLC's "Baby-Baby-Baby". AHHH!!! AND, it reminds me of cruising the streets of NYC w/ my brother Skooter. Check it out:

I see he's gettin his "Lil Wayne" and "Nelly" on with the auto-tuning...but it's hot!

NEW MUSiC : DAY 26


DREAMGiRLS

My favorite Dreamgirls performed, and won, at last night's NAACP Image Awards. Beyonce won in the category for Outstanding Female Artist while Jennifer took the leading three trophies for Best New Artist, Best Collaboration w/ Fantasia, and Best Album. Beyonce opened the show with 'Halo' and Jennifer gave an astonishing tribute to Muhammad Ali singing "The Impossible Dream". Check out the videos below:




Since Jennifer's been back in the spotlight, she's nailed EVERY performance she's had. I'm happy to see her back in effect. And of course Beyonce can do no wrong; so... there you have it. Two of the most amazing singers in the game right now, together, on the same stage. YES BLACK PEOPLEEEEE!!!!!!!!!

JENNiFER'S SUPRiSE DUET @ DAViS PARTY


The Associated Press reports that Jennifer Hudson 
Days after her triumphant return to the spotlight with her Super Bowl appearance, Jennifer Hudson is booked for Grammy-related events, including a party honoring music mogul Clive Davis.

The singer rehearsed for the Saturday party on Thursday night, singing her hit "Spotlight." Hudson and Davis embraced during the rehearsal.
Davis said Hudson specifically asked to be included in the evening, in which the Recording Academy is honoring the legendary music producer and executive.

"Very touchingly, she called me when she read of my lifetime achievement award, (and said) that she wanted to be part of it, that she wanted to come back with her musical life, so, of course, that is touching," he says. He added that Hudson will also be performing a surprise duet "that people won't see elsewhere."
Wow... I'm guessing Whitney Houston or Fantasia [considering their duet for the Grammy-nominated song "His Only Woman"]

LiVE : JENNiFER HUDSON


Jennifer Hudson made her return to the stage in a MAJOR way earlier this evening. Jennifer performed her rendition of the "Star-Spangled Banner" at Super Bowl XLIII. NOT to my surprise, she killed it! murdered it! She sang her FACE off!!! AHHHHHH!!!!! LoL... [I was getting massive texts and phone calls as though it was I that just finished belting it out.]

GO J. HUD!!!!!!!

LA Times went as far as to say this:
The most emotional moment of pregame came when Jennifer Hudson sang a stunning rendition of the national anthem, one that even drew applause in the press box, where no cheering is allowed. That almost never happens.
MTV had something to say, too:
Stepping onto a small blue platform, Hudson took a deep breath and leaned easily into the microphone, letting loose her signature crystalline vocals on the country's anthem, bringing the song a dreamy quality that rivaled one of the other great renditions of the anthem at the big game: Whitney Houston's legendary soul shakedown in 1991 during the first Gulf War.

WORK!!!!! I am very proud of her.  She performs next week at the Grammy Awards where she is up for four golden trophies. :-)
