I was only 7 at the time. I still love Janet. One of our greatest performer of all time. Happy Birthday Janet!!!

Ne-Yo Go-Go (his stage name in the video) like many other stars, got his start by appearing on Showtime at the Apollo. Even though Ne-Yo’s group was basically booed throughout their entire performance, it was cool to see Ne-Yo doing something other than Micheal Jackson inspired dance moves. Former American Idol contestant Corey Clark (Snow) was also spotted.

As you all may or may not know … I like to spotlight a lot of dope unsigned, indie and/or underground artists on the site! This purpose is to keep music peeps well-rounded and up-to-date on what’s going on in their community. So, here are a few MySpace pages I visit in my spare time (3 (of the 4) acts I’ve featured already).
Tokyo Diva, residing in NYC, is a young lady who is not only a talented artist and trendsetter, starting an underground movement called The Juice Krew (based in NY and outside areas), but she is also a MySpace Guru receiving more than 1,000 music plays a day on MySpace. Tokyo was also the first unsigned artist to perform on MTV’s TRL and she created the theme song Bad Girls for the hit TV show on Oxygen, Bad Girls Club. Thanks Christine for the info!!

Former Deathrow records CEO Suge Knight got into a little altercation with some guy at Shag nightclub Saturday night over some money. A spy from the omnipresent TMZ overheard Suge say: “I want my money!” So he and his goonz apparently jumped the guy and beat him to the ground. But outside, the story changed when the guy hit Suge with a right hook, knocking the big guy out cold for a little under 5 minutes!
