Mariah performed the song "I'll Be Lovin' U Long Time" from her new album E=MC² at the MTV Video Music Awards Japan recently. The performance of my personal favorite track off that album (tough competition though!) was hot tamale & MCC looked great. I really hope this is a future single! In related news, Mariah was also awarded with the Video Vanguard award at the ceremony. Congrats Mimi!

Mariah Carey Performs "I'll Be Lovin' U Long Time" On MTV VMAs Japan
Madonna ft. Pharrell "Give It 2 Me" Video Premiere
"Give It 2 Me," featuring Pharrell, is the second single off Madonna's latest album Hard Candy. I'm no fan of Madonna. She scares me. I don't see how she is talented whatsoever vocally. That said, I can't deny that the production of this song is hot. The video isn't horrible, though Madonna is nothing to look at. I still have to admit that Hard Candy is becoming somewhat of a guilty pleasure for me. I be diggin' Pharrell's work!

Usher Performs On Good Morning America
Usher appeared on Good Morning America's Summer Concert Series this morning to perform 3 songs from his new album Here I Stand: "This Ain't Sex," "Moving Mountains," & "Love In This Club," all of which can be viewed in the video above. No wonder he lip-synched "Moving Mountains" on the BET special. I've always viewed Usher as a great vocalist, but he just isn't showing it lately. I feel like he is letting his arrogance get in the way of putting on a great performance--something that is especially evident to me during "This Ain't Sex." Still, he is an awesome performer, so this showing wasn't horrible by any means. I just haven't been really impressed with anything other than his SNL performances this time around.
Koda Kumi ft. Fergie "That Ain't Cool" Video Premiere
Here's the video for "That Ain't Cool," the new single from Koda Kumi that features the one & only Fergie. I've never heard of this Koda person &, quite frankly, I haven't heard much from her--even after watching this video--because Fergie is almost the whole song. Fergie looks great in the video & I really dig the song.
Toni Braxton Cancels Vegas Show
Due to an unspecified illness, Toni Braxton has been forced to cancel the remaining dates of her show "Toni Braxton: Revealed" in Las Vegas. Toni was admitted to the hospital back on April 7th & was scheduled to resume the show in June. While no details have been revealed concerning what she has been treated for, Toni has had heart trouble in the past. I would like to congratulate Toni on a great two-year run & I wish her only the best in her career, but, first & foremost, getting well.[Source, Source]

Ashlee Simpson & husband Pete Wentz have confirmed that Ashlee is, in fact, pregnant with the couple's first child. In addition, newlywed Ashlee has decided to take Pete's last name. Privately, she will be known as simply Ashlee Wentz, but will go by Ashlee Simpson-Wentz professionally. They aren't wasting any time! Congrats to the couple.[Source]
David Archuleta On TRL
Part 1
David Archuleta appeared, along with David Cook, on TRL yesterday for a chat. The most interesting part was when Damien put the Davids to the test & actually had them sing from the phonebook. Not so sure that was exactly what Randy had in mind for Archey, but he represented well nonetheless. One thing I learned: I now understand why people think Cook reminds them of Jack Black ... because we all know he is known for his singing ability. While the "performance" can be found in Part 1, Part 2 is more interview & the silly boxing match mentioned at the end of Part 2 can be found by clicking the Part 3 link.
Elliott Yamin Featured On Disneymania 6
Elliott Yamin takes on "Can You Feel The Love Tonight" from the Disney film "The Lion King" on the recently released sixth installment of the Disneymania CD series. Words cannot express how against Disney Channel stars completely wrecking all that is good in the world of Disney I am, but Elliott, being a truly talented artist, is an exception. He does a great job & you can buy the CD or download his song by clicking the cover.
Usher "Here I Stand" BET Special
"Moving Mountains" & "Here I Stand"
"Yeah!" & "Love In This Club" with Young Jeezy
To promote his latest album Here I Stand, Usher performed on a BET special dedicated to him this week. The show consisted of mainly new songs along with his hit "Yeah!" I was disappointed that he lipsynched "Moving Mountains," as I am really looking forward to hearing him do that one live. Other than that, the special was a good one & gave the audience a better understanding of Usher's goal with the new album.

David Archuleta On The Early Show
David Archuleta capped off his daytime takeover with an interview & performance of "Angels" on The Early Show. When he was on Star Search, he appeared on The Early Show, so they dug up the clip of him from back then & discussed it with Archey. Very entertaining!
David Archuleta On Today
Interview + "Think Of Me"
Interview With David Cook
David Archuleta continued his talk show tour on Today by doing some interviews & performing. I'm glad he switched it up & sang a different song. His take on "Think Of Me" was a highlight of Idol 7.
