The LA rapper brought out Dave Chappelle to narrate the powerful performance, as well as U2 to play alongside his vocals. The performance was no other than epic and black as hell.

BEANZ, are you ready for this?

That’s right, the boys performed “Open Arms,” also known as my favorite song of all time…. Read more »
Dennis Van Tine/Future Image/WENN.com Cardi B Will Perform At This Year’s GRAMMY Awards Everybody knows that Cardi B had the year of a lifetime in 2017, and it looks like that success is making its way into 2018, too. Less than a week after the Bronx rapper joined Bruno Mars on the remix for “Finesse,” it was announced that the two will be performing the track together for the GRAMMY Awards on January 28th. This performance alone is a huge step for a new artist, on top of her already huge nominations for Best Rap Performance and Best Rap Song (“Bodak Yellow”). The “Finesse (Remix)” took the world by storm last week when the video hit the internet, and has gotten to nearly 50 Million views in less than a week. We can hopefully expect to see the both Bruno and Cardi in their 90’s garb for the performance just like they had on in the beloved video. Other performers set to grace the stage during the show are Childish Gambino, Logic, and SZA. Congrats to Belcalis on her huge night soon to come later on this month at the GRAMMYs.

The Battle Rounds on The Voice have always served as a way to amp up the drama on the NBC juggernaut. We love drama, but not at the expense of dreams being dashed. Most of the singers who make it through the Blind Auditions section of the show are already seasoned singers, so it makes little sense to have them battle it out. It was night two of the grueling process, and there was not much in the way of shocks. Everyone who should have gotten through did, and that’s about all we could ask for. Let’s break down the three battles that took place on the show. Davon Fleming vs. Maharasyi – “I’m Your Baby Tonight” Maharasyi sprung a leak on the first day of rehearsals and struggled to keep up with Davon who was killing it. Jennifer noted that Davon went with it and proved he had what it took to advance to the next stage. It was pretty much the same thing during the performance. Davon was a clear frontrunner, but his voice was not as good as it was the first time we heard it. But that was still enough to win over Maharsayi who was sent packing. Hannah Mrozak vs. Brandon Showell – “Cold Water” There was something off about Hannah during her rehearsal. She did not seem as into the competition as she should have been. This was the performance that was going to make or break her. Brandon was decent in the performance, but it was clear he still had a lot of work to do if he wanted to advance to the next stage. Hannah’s performance improved as it went on, while Brandon’s stayed the same and it was not great. Hannah was saved, while Brandon was sent home. Mitchell Lee vs. Dennis Drummond – “Mr. Jones” This battle was always going to be a tough one. They both have very different voices, and that made their performance so delightful to watch. They don’t go together, so they should never duet. Mitchell was saved by Blake, while Dennis was poached by Adam. That’s a wrap on Night Two! What did you think about the latest episode?
