* Wale was totally offended by Kelly Clarkson s comment at the Grammys, when she basicallyimplied all the hype about Miguel wasnt enough for her to find out who he is. Miguel, I dont know who the hell you are, but we need to sing together, Kelly said while accepting her Grammy for Best Pop Vocal Album. I mean, good God. That was the sexiest damn thing Ive ever seen. By the way, her acceptance speech was right after Miguel performed Adorn. Anyway, Wale didnt see it as a compliment. I didnt like the Kelly Clarkson back-handed comments to Miguel. I didnt like that at all. I just feel like our urban music is belittled, a little bit. Kelly hasnt clarified if she was being an a** with her commentary or not, but regardless, Wale was on fire. Not trying to offend nobody on the committee, but for a record as big as Adorn, and it to not be presented as a real performance onstage; it was almost like a segue to an award, Wale later told MTV. Again, I dont want to offend anybody on the committee,...

ONE RUNG AWAY: For the third week in a row, Fantasia s Lose to Win is standing in place at No. 11 on the Adult R&B chart, just one step away from breaking into the top 10. The good news is that no song has passed her by, as last weeks top 10 is this weeks top 10, so there is still an outstanding chance that this latest single will become Fantasias eighth top 10 hit on this chart. Also working in her favor: her four preceding singles have all reached the top 10, making it her longest stretch of top 10 titles on this chart. Lose to Win could extend that streak to five top 10 hits. Fantasia made her Adult R&B debut in July 2004 with her coronation song, I Believe. While that single went to No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, on Adult R&B it only went as high as No. 22. The follow-up, Truth Is, captured first place and remained there for 13 weeks. Fantasias next single, Baby Mama, stopped at No. 24, but that was succeeded by Free Yourself, which spent three weeks at No. 1. Next ca...

Njai Joszor 3/4/2013 10:19:00 AM Contrary to what some felt about Kelly Clarkson saying she didn't know who the hell Miguel was at the Grammys, Miguel was flattered and appreciative of Kelly Clarkson's honesty. Addressing the somewhat controversial moment with E! recently, he said "That was the biggest compliment and mind you, it was during her acceptance speech so, it was genuine." As seen during the Grammys, Kelly Clarkson called Miguel's performance of "Adorn" the sexiest thing she had ever seen. Therefore, it's prettysafe to assume that Kelly will be or has already checked out Miguel's first and second album. In related news, Miguel is prepping for his anticipated tour with Alicia Keys ("Set TheWorld On Fire Tour") -- just days after a two-night stint in South Africa . Due to launch later this week, the tour will take both talented acts on a cross-country trek, performing some of their best music, including songs like "Adorn...

That sound you just heard? Clive Davis' memoir Soundtrack Of My Life just getting a sales boost, thanks to Kelly Clarkson. The singer posted a letter on her official site slamming Davis. She accuses the music honcho of bullying her. Why, you ask? Read on. "First, he says I burst into 'hysterical sobbing' in his office when he demanded Since U Been Gone be on my album. Not true at all. His stories and songs are mixed up. I did want more guitars added to the original demo and Clive did not. Max, Luke and I still fought for the bigger sound and we prevailed and I couldn't be more proud of the life of that song. I resent him dampening that song in any way," writes Clarkson. But there's more. Yes, she did cry in his office, she admits, after letting him listen to another future hit, Because Of You. "I cried because he hated it. ...This was devastating coming from a man who I, as a young girl, considered a musical hero and was so honored to work with. But I...
