Toni Braxton just released the new video for her single, “I Heart You.” After the end of the Braxton Family Values 2^nd season, Ms. Braxton shows no signs of slowing down. On last night’s reunion special, Toni mentioned that her new single would be out by the time the special aired, and that her divorce from Keri Lewis would be final.

Even though the two are officially splitting up, they will continue making beautiful music together. It’s rumored that Keri will be the executive producer for Toni’s next studio album. And there are murmurs from Toni herself that she may end her short-lived reality star career –which explains why we didn’t see her that much on the most recent season of Braxton Family Values.

Apparently family and the reality show are starting to interfere with the Toni Braxton brand. Earlier this year, Toni decided to drop her brother-in-law, Vincent Herbert, as her manager. And like many artists, she’s going the independent route, and if her new joint is any indication of things to come –this might be the right route for her.

The song and video deliciously pops! Watch Toni Braxton’s new video, “I Heart You,” and tell me what you think.

Check out Madonna’s “Girl Gone Wild” video. It’s the second single and second video from her highly anticipated new studio album, MDNA, which drops on Tuesday, March 26. I’ve already pre-ordered it!

And in this video, she continues to push the envelope and never disappoints with deliciously poppin’ eye candy… um, dancing in heels?! I’ll admit the men kissing don’t exactly have the shocking effect as say, her “Human Nature” video.

I can’t wait to catch her concert in DC this fall. For now, I’m curious to know what you think about Ma’s new video. 

Usher released this hot, dramatic new video, “Climax.” For this new track, he hooks up with Diplo, a well-renowned DJ who rocks the party and parties around the world. So this is interesting departure from the typical R&B ballad, which actually sets Usher apart from all the R&B auto-tuned artists out there. And it’s about time the true singers use their God-given talents. It’s amazing how auto-tune has made made one-hit wonders out of people who really don’t know how to sing at all.  Time to stop frontin’! 

I digress. Anyway, what do you think Usher’s new video? No word yet on a title or release date for his new album, but does “Climax” intrigue you enough to make you want more new music from Usher?

Chris Brown’s Turn Up the Music

I really like this video because it transports me back to when music videos were fun, creative, and when choreography was also important. Chris Brown seems to be channeling MJ (Michael Jackson) in this video, but don’t sleep on him, he has his unique moves and flair.

Even though I love the video and continue to be amazed with Breezy’s talents, I still believe he needs to work on his anger and domestic violence issues. After being subjected to domestic violence as a child, I think it’s an issue no one should take lightly. It’s not something we should overlook just because we’ve been dazzled by a shiny object — Chris Brown.

Anyway, I congratulate Chris Brown on his Grammy win for Best R&B Album, but I’m still baffled that up against fellow nominees, El DeBarge, Ledisi, Kelly Price and R. Kelly, that he took the Grammy home. I’m not sure, but I sense the Hip-Hop/Dance/R&B waters are getting a little muddy, and people don’t have a clear concept of what true R&B sounds like anymore. And btw, why wasn’t Jill Scott nominated? That was a hard pill for me to swallow.

Sorry for being a “Debby Downer,” but I’m sure Chris Breezy’s fun will add a little pep in your step. It did for me.

Check out Cassie’s new music video, King of Hearts, the first track off her forthcoming album, slated to drop in May 2012. She apparently is playing up the sex this time around, especially in scenes where she sports leather straps to cover “the boys.” I’m sure the straight boys will love this video.

And fans expecting to hear a joint similar to her smash single “Me & U,” well, they’ll have to wait. This track is a bit of a departure for the sexy singer displaying much swagger. “King of Hearts” is a dance track that I’m sure will keep the club crowd happy and out on the floor. Watch the video and tell me what you think.   

Check out Madonna’s new “Give Me All Your Luvin’” video, featuring M.I.A and Nicki Minaj. It’s a big weekend for “Ma.” Today, she released this new video; her new album, MDNA, is on iTunes for pre-sale orders; and W.E., a new movie she directed, hits theaters today.

The big weekend will culminate with her highly-anticipated halftime performance for Super Bowl XLVI on Sunday. She’s already lifted the curtain a bit to let adoring fans know that she will be performing three oldie, but goodies, and more than likely her new joint.

Take a look at her new video and tell me what you think?

Nicki Minaj’s “Stupid Hoe” Video

I love me some Lil’ Kim, but Nicki Minaj really put Kim on blast on her new track, “Stupid Hoe.” I heard the track awhile ago, but the video is even more startling. Yes, clutch my pearls shocking.

The video, produced by Hype Williams, makes it much clearer who the hard disses are directed… um, yep… Lil’ Kim. Nicki is donned in the “Lil’ Kim” look throughout the video; so there’s no confusion about who she’s talkin’ about.

Will there rap retaliation from the Queen B? Who knows, but for now, check out Nicki Minaj’s hot new video. Sorry QB. Smooches!

The Lonely Island’s Jizz in My Pants

Nope, I’m not joking. The Lonely Island’s funny music video is really called “Jizz in My Pants.” No, really! Seriously, you can’t make up this shit, but it’s all in good fun. The comedy troupe/techo-pop boy band consists of Akiva Schaffer, Jorma Taccone, and Saturday Night Live’s Andy Samberg.  And did JT, Justin Timberlake, make an appearance in this orgasm of comedy? Is that him making a cameo as the man in the grocery store with a mop? You make the call.

Watch Beyonce’s new fun video for her new single, “Countdown.” It’s one of only a couple tracks that I like from her most recent album 4. She still runs the world even though she has a little bun in the oven.

Check out her new join and tell me what you think. Does she still run the music world?
