If you can't beat em join em. That's what happened when these superstar groups were formed. Unfortunately many of these collaborations never quite came to friction.  It was however exciting thinking about the possible prospect of some of the collaborations. Some did happen and as quick as they happened it was over. Read below to find out more about these past and present superstar groups. The Queen Project - Tamia Kelly Price Deborah Cox Do you all remember The Queen Project? It was an album that was to be recorded between singers Tamia, Kelly Price, and Deborah Cox. Unfortunately we never got to hear the album or any songs from the project. What went wrong? I'm not sure to be honest but I do remember reading that the project is definitely not happening. I'm wondering was Kelly Price the problem. I only say that because I read that Kelly Price is the "villian" on the new R&B Divas L.A . show on TV One. LSG - Levert Sweat Gill LSG was comprised of R&B s...

This was the debut single and video for Deborah Cox's second album; "One Wish". The song hit #1 and reigned for 12 weeks; I believe. ---------------- Now playing: Tracie Spencer - I Like That via FoxyTunes

| Deborah Cox released her self-titled debut album in 1995. It featured the first single, "Sentimental". Three other singles were released including; "Who Do U Love", "Where Do We Go From Here", and "The Sound Of My Tears". The album features production from Dallas Austin, Babyface, Daryl Simmons, and Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis. I remember when my mother had this album and every weekend; this album was what she would play. There are some really good songs on here including my favorites; "I'm Your Natural Woman", "Just Be Good To Me", "Where Do We Go From Here", etc. ---------------- Now playing: Terry Ellis - What Did I Do 2 You via FoxyTunes

By the time Deborah Cox released her sophomore album; "One Wish", she was a force to be reckoned with. Her debut single; "Nobody's Supposed To Be Here" was a monster hit! She scored another hit with the second single; "It's Over Now" but her third single; "We Can't Be Friends" featuring RL of Next put her back in the Pop Top 10. There is a lot of great songs here. Some of my personal favorites include the title track, "Love Is On The Way", "I Won't Give Up", and the aforementioned singles. ---------------- Now playing: Sam Sparro - Sally via FoxyTunes

Who could that be? Well you can guess one of them is Tamia by the picture on the right and the accompanying article below. This isn't the first time something like this has been discussed. The thing is will it ever really come to friction. We will have to wait and see. Elsewhere Pink speaks on Beyonce and Angie Stone returns to music. Check it out! Trio Of Singers Form Supergroup! Singers Tamia, Deborah Cox and Kelly Price have united for an upcoming compilation project called 'The Queen Project.' Led by the first single, 'Queen,' the three vocal powerhouses are elated about the opportunity to form this sisterhood in song. 'The Queen Project' is scheduled to be released in early 2010; however no record company affiliation has been announced at this time. The group's first concert together will be in New York City during the Circle of Sisters expo on Oct. 10. Like I said above we will just have to wait, see, and hear if this comes to friction. After all i...

After the steamy video clip of Day 26's, "So Good", I came up with the idea of listing a few well-known and not so well-known songs that features the title 'good' in it. Of course they are tons and tons of songs but these are some of the first few songs that popped up in my head. Ashanti - Good Good Ashanti went to #30 R&B with this hit song about having what it takes to keep a man locked down and coming back for more. The song's video featured Ashanti as a 1950's housewife cooking, cleaning, and kissing on hubby Nelly! Whitney Houston - You Give Good Love This song is one of Whitney Houston's many signature ballad in a list long of ballads that go back over 20 years. Anita Baker - Good Love You can hear this song on any urban adult contemporary station today. A very nice cut from Ms. Baker. Rich Boy featuring Keri Hilson & Polow Da Don - Good Things Perhaps this is one of Polow Da Don's most underrated productions but here the producer get...

"glowing/happen to be just like moments/flashing/in front of me". Those are some of the lyrics to "Street Lights", Kanye West's newest video. It is one of my favorite songs from "808s & Heartbreak". If I'm not mistaken Kanye has basically released a video for every song on this album. Music Biz: Kelis Requests Change In Court Date! A lawyer representing Kelis in her divorce from Nas has asked the judge to move up a hearing to determine the amount of his support payments because she may be in labor on July 21. As previously reported, Kelis is seeking hundreds of thousands of dollars to make sure the baby – due next month – is accustomed to the lifestyle that her mother has enjoyed. This includes a request of $20,000 worth of items such as baby strollers and cribs for the little one, as well as $3,500 for a baby nurse. "But here's the snag. Kelis may be in labor during the hearing. And she needs money badly. So her lawyer went to court a...

Meanwhile check these out T-Pain is releasing his 3rd album, "Thr33 Ringz" on November 11. The album is preceded by 1st single, "Can't Believe It" feat Lil' Wayne.

Audio: Trey Songz - Sticky Face Another new Trey song. Trey always keeps a song out. Can't be mad at that. Music News: The unofficial tracklisting to Brandy's new album, "Human" has been released. Notice I said unofficial so that means it can change within the next few seconds, hours, days, or even weeks. I keep hearing this album is pushed back then I hear it is now. I'm not sure. 1. Right Here(Departed) 2. Long Distance 3. Human...

Video: Rocko - Dis Morning Audio: Trey Songz - Love LockDown Trey has a new mixtape out so this explains for all the remakes etc. I don't like this "Love Lockdown" song from Kanye or Trey. I see Trey has a knack for remaking songs. Sometimes they come off cool, sometimes very cheesy. I think Trey should stop doing this and just concentrate on making music. Besides he's on numerous songs nowadays anyway but I guess this is just part of him keeping hisself out there. Music News: Deborah Cox Back With New Album! Click here for more info!

Hello all! Thank you for your continued support and visiting the blog. Check out the single cover to the new Jazmine Sullivan single, "Bust Ya Windows". Now this song may not be completely new to everyone. It leaked awhile back with a host of other songs. Jazmine's debut album, "Fearless" will be in stores September 23. Jaz has a really big buzz right now and I'm hoping her career doesn't end up like Deborah Cox's. Music News: Originally scheduled for November, Ciara's new album, "Fantasy Ride" has been pushed back to December 23. The album is preceded by the new single, "Go Girl" feat T-Pain. Recently a slew of Ciara's songs have leaked and they were not very good in my opinion. Out of all the songs, "Echo" was probably the best to me. In other Ciara news the singer is reportedly taking action against Vibe magazine. There are claims that Ciara was unhappy with how the magazine airbrushed her cover and inside pic...

After stalling with his new album, "Here I Stand" Usher has rehired his mother after letting her go. While "Love In This Club" was a #1 single, follow up single, "Moving Mountains" failed at radio. Usher's new single, "What's Your Name" impacts soon. Usher's album is pretty much platinum now if it hasn't reached it yet. Of course this album is looked at as a flop especially when your last album sold close to 10 million copies in the states alone. Toni Braxton hasn't had the best year with her recent health scares. Despite those minor setbacks the artist is set to join ABC's "Dancing With The Stars" show set to air this September. Reality TV star Kim Kardashian is also set to join. The full cast will be revealed later this month. I have never really watched "Dancing With The Stars". It just never really interested me but more power to Toni! Deborah Cox will release "The Promise" on November 11....
