Who could forget Kelly’s bangs, Donna’s virginity, Steve’s bicep, Brandon and Dylan’s non-shifting 1950s hairdos, everybody’s drug problems at some point, and that icky Brenda/Dylan/Kelly triangle that tested friendships across the world? If you happen to be of the limited variety that Continue
"Bout to go Thriller, Mike Jackson on these n---as. All I need is a f*cking red jacket with some zippers." Drake utters those lines in his single "Over" from his debut album, Thank Me Later. Turns out, Drizzy had that red jacket and more when his character, Jimmy Brooks, went Thriller on an Continue
There's a catchy sexified pop song blazing up the charts, records are being broken, fans are anticipating what will surely be a smokin' hot video. Oh, yeah. It's Britney Spears season! Still not convinced? American Idol's latest champ Kris Allen recently covered Brit's debut hit "Baby One Continue
There's all of this talk about Naturi Naughton, the actress/singer who is appearing in the remake to the classic, Fame, but die-hard fans of early 2000's pop will remember Naturi as one third of the girl group 3LW. 3LW -- or Three Little Women, not just a moniker they went with because they were Continue
Admit it, you completely squealed when the line-up for the returning VH1 Divas concert was released today. And why shouldn't you be pumped? The VH1 Divas series always brought out some of the fiercest female talent of the moment. Former Divas included Mary J Blige, Jewel, Faith Hill, Mariah Carey Continue
After interviewing up-and-comer Eric Hutchinson for a Limelight Spotlight, the NL crew sat at the Hard Rock Cafe enjoying the sights, sounds, and food. As we chatted about how awesome Eric was (and how many times I uttered the word 'awesome' during the interview) we were quickly hushed when an Continue
For some reason, people are looking at Kanye West's switch from rapping to singing on his new album 808s and Heartbreak released this week, albeit layered with Auto-tune effects, like it's something new for rappers to do. Rappers have seen "singing" the hooks to their own songs for a long time. Ja Continue
I almost thought to dedicate this week's Neon Rewind to Beyonce seeing how her third and most ambitious album, I Am...Sasha Fierce, hit stores this week. But, honestly, who isn't just a wee bit Beyonced out right now? *raises hand* She has, however, inspired the selection of this week's video. Continue
It's Halloween! Have a happy one, folks! This is a great holiday--it isn't truly a holiday because you don't get the day off work or school, so how can you truly consider it one? But you get to eat candy and dress up. While you're trickin' (....) and treatin' and eatin' all of that tooth-rotting Continue
All this talk about the breakup of Danity Kane this week got me to thinking about Diddy's first R&B/Pop female group, Dream. You 'member, 'member? The members Holly Blake, Diana Ortiz, Ashley Poole, and Melissa Schuman were a quartet of unnaturally cute and talented teen girls. Their first Continue
Remember when Destiny's Child lost (or let go of...depends on who you believe) 2 members and quickly found 2 more in 2000? New hire Farrah Franklin quickly faded into the background and on out of the group, leaving the final and arguably most popular version of the super group: Beyonce Knowles, Continue
It's no secret: the music industry is about 30% talent, 70% looks. OK, so I did no scientific research to come up with those statistics but you can agree that it's pretty accurate. That formula leaves a lot of great artists in the dark. So was the case with the 2002 debut of a quirky, Continue
Remember PopStars? You know, the WB's precursor to American Idol. You 'member, 'member? In season one a bunch of female singers fought it out to join a five-piece singing/dancing/sexying machine to rival the Spice Girls called Eden's Crush. One of those girls just so happened to be Nicole Continue
Time has been flying by for Ne-Yo since the 2006 release of his debut album, In My Own Words. But the time has not gone wasted. In almost three years, Ne-Yo has become the go-to guy for hit records from some of the industry's biggest players like Janet Jackson, Celine Dion, Beyoncé, and Continue
Remember back to 3 years ago when a little Caribbean girl named Rihanna hit the scene with her debut single "Pon de Replay"? You 'member, 'member? She had long, wavy brown hair and everyone was convinced she resembled the perfect collision between Beyoncé and Tyra Banks. It's hard to Continue
