Music tidbits

Mary J Bliges “Growing Pains” is coming out tomorrow and if the first two singles are any indication the album is good.  I do wish that she had a preview of her album available on  MTV’s The Leak or on AOL. Nonetheless I’ve pre-ordered via i-Tunes.

Speaking of MTV I watched Eve’s MTV Live and it was a nice reminder of some of the hot songs she had. I loved her performance with Robin Thicke of “Fantasy”. It makes me beg the question as to why there was repeated delays with the release of upcooming album tht it’s not coming out until next year. I don’t know whether it was label politics or what. She to me has always been a rapper whose gone beyond the typical of rapping about who she’s bedded and how much money she makes.

Tonight is the premier of NBC’s “Clash of the Choirs” which features Patti Labele, Kelly Rowland, Nick Lachey, Michael Bolton and Blake Shelton each coaching amateur choirs from their hometown. Viewers vote on which choir is the best until one is left standing the wining choir wins money to help improve thier community. Make sure you get to check out Blake Shelton’s team performing one of my favorite sonf “Home” by soul singer Marc Broussard frome his sophmore release “Carencro”.
