Does Rihanna belong in Billboard’s elite class?
When a then 17 year-old Rihanna scored a hit song with 2005′s “Pon De Replay,” no one could have predicted the course the young singer’s career would take. Upon releasing her first number one single, 2006′s “SOS” from the album A Girl Like Me, she wasn’t regarded as much more than Beyoncé-lite, lacking both the vocal force and strong sense of showmanship that have defined the megastar’s ascendancy to pop music icon.

Kids’ surprise serenade to NYC 9/11 firefighters in a Spike Lee directed tribute video.
“Never forgotten. Forever grateful.” To help honor the victims and heroes of Sept. 11, director Spike Lee filmed a unique and moving tribute to the New York Fire Department. Lee, working with State Farm, filmed roughly 150 children from New York serenading members of the FDNY to the tune of Jay-Z and Alicia Keys’s smash hit “Empire State of Mind.”

This version of “Empire State of Mind” was conducted by James Davis Jr. The spot first appeared online several days ago. It then aired during Sunday’s Eagles-Rams NFL game. Now it is quickly going viral. Web searches for “empire state of mind lyrics” and “empire state of mind song” are starting to soar. Watch Now Continue reading
