Alicia Keys Gossip

We stan a shameless birthday queen! If you’re paying attention every year around the time of our birthdays, you know that Lainey and I are brazen in our birthday celebrations. We hijack whole weeks like we’re Offset. Diana Ross has taken over a whole ass two months for her birthday. Last night, the Grammys paid tribute to Diana for her 75th birthday by getting her grandson to introduce her and letting her tribute herself (I’m obsessed with both choices). Full Story

Well, if you want to start your award show strong, starting with Michelle LaVaughn Robinson Obama is one way to do it. I know that the only First Lady we acknowledge didn’t actually open the Grammys (Camila Cabello did with a performance I forgot about immediately after it happened) but it felt like the show didn’t start until she stepped on stage hand in hand with Jada Pinkett Smith and Jennifer Lopez. Full Story

Today is the day of liking things I wish I hated. This morning, I wrote about how I love Slide, in spite of my extreme distain for Calvin Harris. When Emily sent over a video of The Voice coaches singing Waterfalls, one of my all-time favourite songs and TLC’s signature track, I was skeptical. Full Story

Yesterday was the launch of a new Jay Z-backed music streaming service, Tidal. It started with a social media takeover (which I’ll get to) and then a press conference. An awkward as hell press conference; I got the sweats watching it. Why was the crowd hollering, who did they invite to this thing? Was it fans, or media? The audible dip in applause between Kanye and Deadmau5 was painful. Full Story

Tidal – the Jay Z-backed music streaming service, launches today at 5 p.m. EST with a Carter press conference in New York. The social media takeover is in full swing, with a bright blue avatar popping up all over Instagram and Twitter. And there’s even a musical Justice League video Alicia Keys first posted (it’s spreading fast) – I counted Bey and Kanye (obviously), Chris Martin, Jason Aldean, Daft Punk, Calvin Harris, Madonna, Nicki Minaj, Jack White, with Usher, Alicia, Regine Chassagne and Win Butler (I think?) on webcam. Full Story
