  • Jimmy Fallon, Will Ferrell, Kevin Hart: Lip Sync Battle

    Jimmy Fallon, Will Ferrell, and Kevin Hart teamed up on The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon this weekend in the second best battle after Sunday’s Super Bowl. The three competed with one another in a long-awaited lip synch battle. Fallon has touted the match on his show for weeks, and on Sunday night fans were treated to this epic competition. Now lip synching might not seem like a big deal–especially to those who have never attempted it. But more than simply mouthing the words, top notch lip synchers incorporate emotion and some impressive body moves, too.

    Will Ferrell grabbed the fake mic and delivered what can only be called a writhing rendition of Beyonce’s hit “Drunk in Love.” He also belted out Idina Menzel’s “Let It Go.” Ferrell had some pretty stiff competition in the form of Kevin Hart, however, who bought tears to his everyone’s eyes as he movingly lip synched John Legend’s hit ballad, “All of Me.” He paid homage to the Super Bowl half time performer by doing Katy Perry’s “Roar,” too.

    Jimmy Fallon may have actually cheated a bit. In addition to lip synching the “Dirty Dancing” theme song, “(I’ve Had) The Time of My Life,” he brought a secret guest on stage to lip synch with him. Fallon had Drew Barrymore waiting in the wings to assist him in the competition. Fallon also performed Kelly Clarkson’s “Since U Been Gone.”

    So who won the competition?

    According to popular belief, Will Ferrell won for “Drunk in Love.”

    Did you check out Jimmy Fallon, Will Ferrell, and Kevin Hart duking it out in their lip synch battle? Jimmy Fallon loves to lip synch. Fans are likely looking forward to the next time he issues a challenge to do so on The Tonight Show.

    That wasn’t all Jimmy Fallon did for musical fun on Sunday night’s show either. He and Carrie Underwood, Sam Smith, Ariana Grande, Blake Shelton, Usher, Meghan Trainor, One Direction, Christina Aguilera and, of course, his house band The Roots, joined together to perform a rendition of Queen’s “We Are the Champions” to congratulation Super Bowl champions, the New England Patriots.

    That will be a hard show to follow. Jimmy Fallon and his cast and crew will do The Tonight Show live from L.A. from Monday through Friday of this week.

  • Ed Sheeran Covers Beyoncé’s “Drunk In Love”

    Ed Sheeran Covers Beyoncé’s “Drunk In Love”

    Ed Sheeran surprised all of us with the unlikely cover song that he performed on Z100’s Morning Show.

    While we’re used to hearing Taylor Swift’s touring budding sing sweet acoustic songs, the saucy new addition to his musical library is causing quite the buzz.

    The song Sheeran performed was Beyoncé’s sexy hit, “Drunk In Love.”

    Originally, the young singer just sampled the hit to his fans. Sheeran said “I did around 12 seconds of it and everyone online was like, ‘I wanna hear a full version!’”

    The English singer-songwriter’s latest album X (pronounced multiply) will be available June 23.

    The cover is a stripped down version of the Queen’s original song that was made famous at this year’s Grammy’s.

    You can watch her steamy performance below.

    What do you think of the red-head’s rendition? Should he just stick to his originals or should he consider covering “Partition?”

  • Beyonce’s “Drunk In Love”, In Swing Fashion

    Ever since “Swingers” came onto the scene in 1996 and gave us Vince Vaughn and Jon Favreau in Ratpack style–hunting pretty babies, of course–a revival of the swing era has been showing up off and on in music and movies. Personally, I couldn’t be happier, and when I discovered this gem on the wonderful interwebz today I had to share it.

    Cristina Gatti is a very talented singer and, with her swing band accompanying her, she does a mean version of Beyonce’s “Drunk In Love”. As someone who adores new versions of good songs, this was a perfect Monday afternoon find. Listen and fall in love.

  • Beyoncé and Jay Z’s Grammy Performance: Too Racy?

    Beyoncé Jay Z totally turned up the heat in last night’s Grammy performance of “Drunk in Love.”

    The 56th annual award show kicked off with the Queen Bey provocatively straddling a chair with her back to the audience showing off her brilliant behind. The star sported a black thong complete with lined panty hose and a sheer bustier. Her hair was cropped and wet, giving off a sexy “Flash Dance” look.

    While the song “Drunk in Love” contains a verse for Jay Z, the live Grammy collaboration was only confirmed a few days prior in a CBS commercial.

    The performance continued as Beyoncé slithered on top of her chair, rocking her hips and shooting out dangerous glances into the audience. The stage belonged to her and the audience fell victim as well.

    Around three minutes into the song, Jay Z charged the stage ready to join his other half. Beyonce stood up, taking her place alongside the chair allowing her husband to take the stage. She danced patiently behind him, careful not to give away too much as he performed.

    The audience simply couldn’t stand the chemistry, screaming and chanting for the two who were clearly in love. She was captivated by him just like the audience was by her.

    While some people were mesmerized by the opening performance, others were outraged saying the act was just too provocative.

    Were you offended by sultry performance or did you view it as just that-as a performance?

  • Jay-Z Thanks God ‘A Little Bit’ For Grammy Award

    Holy Grail rapper Jay-Z definitely made a statement last night at the 56th annual Grammy Awards.

    The biggest night in music, which was held at the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles, actually turned out to be a big night for the rapper as well.

    However, it wasn’t just a big night for the Roc Nation mogul. His wife, Beyonce also made her presence known, as she and Jay took the stage as the opening act performing her latest hit, “Drunk In Love”.

    The collaborative, blowout performance was quite nostalgic as its the first since their “Crazy In Love” performance at the 2003 MTV VMA’s.

    While the performance was nothing less than perfection, as he and Queen Bey set the standard for the night, fans were able to catch a glimpse of the rapper’s softer side later in the show.

    When the 44-year-old rapper took the stage again to accept the award for Best Rap/Sung Collaboration for “Holy Grail” which featured Justin Timberlake, his acceptance speech was a bit different from his norm.

    He sauntered to the stage, playfully throwing fake punches at actor Jamie Foxx, who presented the award. Then, he got down to business.

    “Thank you very much, thank you to all the producers and The-Dream, Justin, for writing this song, all the typical things,” the rapper said. He went on to thank God just “a little bit,” and accredited the universe for his union with his wife.

    “I want to thank God, I mean, a little bit for this award, but also all the universe for conspiring and for putting that beautiful light of a young lady in my life,” he continued, gesturing with the Grammy gong to Beyonce who watched from the front row.

    Then, he added a sweet message to his 2-year-old daughter Blue Ivy. “I want to tell Blue, ‘Look, Daddy got a gold sippy cup for you!’”

    The rapper’s “sippy cup” reference immediately became an online sensation as one of Twitter’s biggest trending topics for the night.

    In addition to the award for Best Rap/Sung Collaboration for “Holy Grail,” Jay-Z and Justin Timberlake also took home the award for Best Music Video for “Suit and Tie.”
