Blues/R&B legendary singer Etta James passed Friday morning fighting a battle of Leukemia in Riverside, CA.

One of the first women inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Jame’s feisty blues style captivated millions and has been acknowledged in recent years with Beyoncé’s portrayal of her in the movie “Cadillac Records” in 2008 and the use of “At Last” for Barack and Michelle Obama‘s first dance after his inauguration in 2009.

“This is a tremendous loss for the family, her friends and fans around the world,” longtime friend and manager, Lupe De Leon told CNN. “She was a true original who could sing it all — her music defied category.”

Etta James was 73!

Looks like Beyzus is saving the best of her “4″ album for last as she gets ready to take on a new career of being a mother in a few more months. A few days ago “Countdown” (WATCH HERE) debuted on MTV.com and now we have a teaser video of the song that stole the show at the MTV Video Awards, “Love on Top”, after making her very public announcement of her pregnancy.

“Love on Top” was instantly my faorite song from Beyonce’s “4″ when the album leaked. Check out the New Edition inspired dance moves from Beyonce for the sneak peak of “Love on Top”.

The much anticipated “Countdown” video from Beyonce has hit the internet and she’s giving us everything we’ve been asking and BEGGING for, after two subpar videos, ‘Run the World’ & ‘Best Thing I Never Had”, previously from her latest album “4″.

Colors, dancing, face, fashion, and more ALLLL while pregnant. This is what a true diva is made out of. Watch the video after the jump…

This morning, ABC’s Good Morning America wrapped up their summer concert series for 2011 with a finale performance by the one and only Queen of Hip Hop & Soul Mary J Blige.

Check out all 3 performances after the jump.

A few weeks ago we posted a video that had a personal trainer and some adults working out to Beyonce’s “Move Your Body”, a remix to “Get Me Bodied” created for First Lady Michelle Obamas campaign against child obesity.

Well here’s the official video with Beyonce and a bunch of young kids going awf to the fun workout song. If we all did this every morning before work, we would feel so much better.

It’s official, Beyonce’s “Who Run the World (Girls)” has made it’s way to Itunes this morning. Late yesterday evening, Columbia Records released a press statement that the single would be available on Itunes and radio today.

Along with the press release, there has been a sneak peak video teaser of the video which is said to be Beyonce’s biggest budgeted video of her career and let’s just say with the 5 second clip of Bey riding strong on a stallion warrior horse, I cant wait to see what the Beyonce camp has in store!

Keyshia Cole has finally released her new video to her second single “Take Me Away” from her latest album “Calling All Hearts”. The song in general is so right for nice Spring time drive or mini vacation with your baby.

Check out the video after the jump.

Keyshia will be touring with R Kelly on the “The Love Letter” tour in the U.S. beginning June 2 along with Marsha Ambrosius. Talk about a solid tour! They will be at Philips Arena on June 25th for all the ATLiens!

Yesterday, we  posted the demo version of Beyonce new single “Girls”. Now we have the radio version of the song. Produced by Diplo and Switch, the track is almost an exact replica of the popular dance club song “Pon De Floor” which was also produced by Switch.

The reviews from fans have been heavily scattered in opinion but we like the track and believe when the video is released, others will surely begin to like the song more.

Listen to the radio version after the jump.

Hot 107.9 made their first major artist announcement for Birthday Bash 16th and unlike past years, they pulled out the big guns earlier this year by announcing that “F.A.M.E.” singer Chris Brown would be a part of this year’s all-star line-up. This marks the first time Chris Brown has performed at Birthday Bash.

Chris Brown released his 4th studio album F.A.M.E. and has been prepping for his world tour. ThatGrapeJuice posted some video footage last week of the young singer practicing some dance moves in the studio with his dancers and if the concert is anywhere close to what CBreezy is giving in the video, Birthday Bash attendees will be in for a hell of a show come June 19th.

Check out some video footage after the jump.

In addition to Chris Brown being announced, Keri Hilson and Lloyd have both been confirmed to be a part of this year’s Birthday Bash in Atlanta. The show is Saturday, June 19th at Philips Arena and tickets can be purchased at www.ticketmaster.com. Stay tuned for more announcement and an exclusive VIP give-a-way from WhatsTheT.com in the coming weeks!
