This is the alternate version of Beyonce's "Run The World (Girls)" video that comes with the Target-exclusive version of her new album 4. It's quite alternate, as there's almost no choreography. I don't like it better, but I do like it!

Lil' Eddie ft. Ameriie "Guardian Angel" Video Premiere
"Guardian Angel", featuring Ameriie, is the first single off Lil' Eddie's second album Already Yours. Lil' Eddie is a fantastic singer/songwriter that is signed to the same label as Mya. I may be late with this, but I love the song & had to share!

Christina & Beverly McClellan "Beautiful"
The Judges "Under Pressure"
This week was finale week on The Voice & Christina Aguilera took the stage--TWICE(!), once with her last remaining contestant & once (again) with her fellow judges. Her "Beautiful" duet with Beverly was surprisingly decent. (At least...) Also, Christina will be back next season along with all three of the other judges!

Kelly Rowland "Here I Am" Tracklisting
At long last, Kelly Rowland has revealed the tracklisting for her third album Here I Am (July 26th). Check out what made the rather short cut below:1. I'm Dat Chick
2. Work It Man (ft. Lil' Playy)
3. Motivation (ft. Lil' Wayne)
4. Lay It On Me (ft. Big Sean)
5. Feelin' Me Right Now
6. Turn It Up
7. All Of The Night (ft. Rico Love)
8. Keep It Between Us
9. Commander
10. Down For Whatever
Wasn't expecting to see "Rose Colored Glasses" or "Grown Woman"... interesting to see "Commander" on there though (not that I'm complaining... I like the song!). I'm glad that "I'm Dat Chick" made the cut, but other than that, I'm just glad we haven't heard most of the album before! July 26th can't get here fast enough!

Kelly Rowland "Here I Am (Deluxe Edition)" Details
The cover for the deluxe edition of Kelly Rowland's upcoming album Here I Am (July 26th) is to the left & I must say that I'm liking it a bit better than the standard. Good thing too because the deluxe is the version I'll be picking up, as it adds the two songs "Heaven & Earth" & "Each Other" as well as the pair of remixes "Motivation (Rebel Rock Remix ft. Lil' Wayne)" & "Commander (Urban Remix ft. Nelly)" to the 10-track standard set. (Never fear, I'll be posting the album's tracklisting momentarily.) Not terribly generous there, Universal Motown... but I'll take it--I sure like that urban remix of "Commander"![Source]

Alicia Keys sang her songs in A minor leftover-for-a-reason "Typewriter", was unfortunately joined by Bruno Mars for "A Woman's Worth", brought out Rick Ross for some godforsaken reason, & finished things off with "Fallin'".
