Beyonce - Dedication to Detroit

Detroit, MI also known as the Motor City have seen some hard times these past years. Detroit just filed Chapter 9 Bankruptcy recently and broke the record for the largest bankruptcy of its kind filed in the United States.

Even in its hard times the City of Detroit shows signs of life, unity, and strength through its citizens. Grammy Award winning Singer Beyonce took time to acknowledge and profess her love for the city that produced musical greats such as Aretha Franklin, Motown Records, Aalyiah, Temptations, The Clark Sisters, The Winans Family, and many many more.

Video of the Day: Anthony Brown and Group TherAPy

Today's Video of the Day is Anthony Brown and Group TherAPy with their smash hit "Testimony". This is such a dynamic group and through their multifaceted musical ability, they are changing the sound of gospel today. I had the pleasure of watching them perform live and a performance it was indeed. Blowing the minds of many Gospel legends and  trailblazers who have paved the way for them, the dynamic group has been referred to as the future of GOSPEL Music. We here at YouthandStyle cannot wait to see what this group does next. Be on the lookout for their upcoming projects, its definitely something you wouldn't want to miss.

Whitney Houston NOT Banned from Prince's Shows/ But Back in Rehab!

TMZ has officially released a statement from Prince's manager stating that Prince did not know Whitney Houston had been banned from his shows....he loves her at his shows and she is welcomed to any of his shows for all eternity. Someone with no authority tried to call the shots and that's when the rumor was started. Good to know that everything has been set straight and the Legendary Singer Whitney Houston is not blacklisted from the Divo Prince's shows.

Other News: A couple nights ago it was confirmed on the Wendy Williams show that Whitney Houston is back in Rehab for her drug addiction. We hope that she can stay clean when she gets out. It gets kind of old when you keep hearing about an iconic figure struggling with drug abuse. Also reading Bossip a week or so ago they announced that the will be a Waiting to Exhale Part 2. So Whitney we need you to get better A.S.A.P. You can count on us to send our prayers your way. Can't wait until Waiting to Exhale Part II

Music: Beyonce Title's Album/ New Video Teaser Extended

Beyonce has Titled her New Album soon to be released later on this year "4". The Album "4" will feature her new single Who Run The World Girls... which debuted at #33 on Billboards Top 100 but has since fallen.

Keri Hilson: Fashion Against AIDS Campaign

Singer Songwriter Keri Hilson

Singer/Songwriter Keri Hilson has joined the H&M Fashion against AIDS Campaign. I was doing my annual online shopping at one of my favorite stores H&M when I came across the new Fashion Against Aids Campaign, that's when I seen miss "Keri baby" posing in the campaign. Hilson posed in a unisex full body Jump suit and she looked absolutely amazing. Keri is just one of many artist who have joined the Fashion against AIDS campaign. It is so good to see people using their Fame to help bring awareness to a disease that affects millions of people. I noticed that the campaign was promoted by celebrities wearing uni-sex clothing; which I thought was great because it targets everyone. AIDS is an autoimmune disease that affects more than 33 million people.

Below is a video on how Keri felt about the Campaign and why she chose to get involved:

Musical Spotlight: C-BANGA

C-Banga

Part of my Job as a blogger is keeping my readers updated on The New Rising Rappers, who have potential to change the game altogether. They say hip-hop is dead but recently there has been so much new talent coming up and it looks like they just might make in time to Revive what is left of that broad Hip-Hop. Recently I listened to C-Banga Music and now it has found its way on iPod. After hearing a couple of  his songs I was so taken away by his talent, I had to reach out to him and grab an interview.

Love and Family: Braxton Family Values and TAMAR!!

The Braxton Clan (L-R) Trina, Towanda, Toni, Tamar, Evelyn , and Traci

So I finally was able to sit down and Watch Braxton Family Values online!! It was a great show. Definitely one of the best and entertaining reality shows out there. The show which is about Toni Braxtonn and her four sisters Tamar (Tae-Mar), Trina, Traci, and Towanda Braxton. Their mother Evelyn Braxton is also apart of the show.

Toni and Tamar

In the first season-opener we learn a lot about the Braxton 5. Hehehe. We learn that there is a little bit of Jealousy, envy, and a lot of love in the family. Toni and Towanda seem to be the most level head and calm ones of the 5. Tamar, (the baby sister) seems to be the viewers favorite...which we can tell because she was

Music: Beyonce New single coming out.

You can officially kick Rihanna to the curb because Queen Bey is back. Rumor has it that she is set to release a New Single called "Girl" the week. Yes, I have been patiently awaiting for the Queen to come to start releasing new music. I was getting tired of the Attention Craving, Twitter beef having Rihanna.
 If you haven't been checking all the popular media outlets, you missed out on a lot of Rihanna. Is she dating a male or female? How does she feel about Chris Brown and lifting the restraining order? Why did she come at Ciara over twitter? Is she really endulging in Twitter Beef? or the one that has been very popular lately... Why don't her American fans buy her concert tickets?  Truth is who cares?

Gucci Mane Arrested!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Rapper Gucci Mane

According to the Atlanta News Rapper Gucci Manes (real name Radric Davis) was arrested in DeKalb County, GA. Crazy thing is Gucci was arrest while visiting his probation officer in Atlanta. Gucci Mane was arrested for pushing a woman out of a moving vehicle during an argument; which cause a significant amount of damage to the young woman. Gucci is charged with Battery as well as violating his Parole. It seems like Gucci and other rappers just can't stay out of trouble and jail. SMH. I wonder what he and the woman could have been possibly arguing about that made him push her out of a moving car. Maybe she told how dumb he looked with that Ice-cream cone tatted on his face. Lol
