For this week’s featured new release, I decided to tackle four female singers or acts that have made their mark in music forever. And, it just so happens that they are all releasing CD/DVD combos of previous tours on this week. These gals are Adele, Beyoncé, Dixie Chicks and Kylie Minogue. Here are the specs on all of their discs.

• Adele: Live At The Royal Albert Hall was recorded on September 22 at the height of what has been an amazing year for Adele. This DVD features the full 90 minute concert performance, plus special behind the scenes footage shot throughout the day leading up to the concert.
• Beyoncé: 4, Live At Roseland features the R&B singer dazzling with numbers from some of her previous albums and Destiny Child hits before tackling some of the best tracks from her new album, “4″. The disc also features some behind-the-scenes footage.
• Dixie Chicks: Storytellers was the grand finale in the whirlwind that surrounded the release of the band’s 5x Grammy Award winning album Taking the Long Way. Fans are treated to personal anecdotes and inspiration around some of the band’s biggest hits.
• Kyle Minogue: Aphrodite, Les Folies is two hours of classic Kylie, capturing the energy, grandeur and extravagance of the massively acclaimed Aphrodite: Les Folies tour, filmed at Kylie’s triumphant O2 Arena show in London. The show was one of Kylie’s most extravagant and filmed on high tech cameras to give home viewers the best experience, like you were there.

Remember a few months ago when all of a sudden, rumors were flooding that Beyoncé wasn’t actually pregnant, that she was faking her baby bump? Well apparently, the singer was ready to put those rumors to rest during the filming of her Countdown music video. A new video has surfaced of Bey holding up a copy of the Daily News to protest what they are claiming.

In the video, Beyoncé exclaims Oh Baby! multiple times while rubbing her six-month pregnant belly. She explains on how she is wearing a slimming black body suit (or multiple body suits) to try and hide the baby bump which you can’t really see from the front. But, when the singer turns sideways, it’s all baby mama from where I’m sitting. Check out the cute video response from Beyoncé below.

Without a doubt, Beyonce is one of the hardest working women in the music industry. The woman gives it everything she’s got with every performance and never half-asses it *cough* Britney *cough*. In today’s market, you’d be lucky to get three music videos from most artists off of one album. Not for Queen B. The hit-making machine just released her latest clip from “4“, marking it the 7th music video from the album. YOWZA, seven videos. That’s impressive. Sure, “Dance For You” is a bonus track, but it’s still a track from her fourth studio album.

Sometimes less is more and having a simple video can do the trick. That’s exactly what Bey’s new film noir-inspired clip does. It’s like a classic Bogart & Bacall flick meets 8 1/2 weeks with a helping dose of Beyonce’s signature booty shaking and hair tossing. I swear that woman must have the strongest neck muscles around. My neck gets sore just by looking at her go to town.

When I first heard The Dream-produced “Dance For You“, I classified it as pedestrian album filler but I have to admit, I love it now. Personally, having a visual to associate to a track helps me connect to it more. The beautiful use of light and shadow is truly stunning. Then when you factor in Beyonce’s seductive private dancing it’s completely mesmerizing. “Dance For You” doesn’t the same over-the-top production as some of her videos, but it’s equally as compelling. Watch the clip below.

Straight men better watch out. Mary J. Blige and Beyonce are out to teach you how to treat and love the ladies right. The two team up on “Love A Woman“, a sorta how-to-guide on how to take a relationship to the next level. You know the one that involves poking, and not in the Facebook kinda way. The instructional slow jam is from Blige’s upcoming album “My Life II: The Journey Continues (Act I)“. Man, that’s a mouthful.

The album is Mary’s tenth studio album and serves as a sequel to her multi-platinum sophomore album, “My Life” released in 1994. Judging by the tracks I’ve heard so far, it’s a worthy successor to that much-cherished album. Personally, I love, love, love that CD. “I’m Goin’ Down” was epic. “My Life II: The Journey Continues (Act I)” hits stores on November 21, the same day as Rihanna’s “Talk That Talk“.

“Love A Woman” was written and produced by Sean Garrett who’s worked with Usher, Kelly Rowland, Ciara, Rihanna, Britney Spears to name a few. Garrett, once again, works his magic and churns out a sultry ballad where Mary and Beyonce’s vocals shine. With electro-pop dance tracks dominating charts and radio these days, it’s nice to hear a soulful heartfelt jam. It totally reminds me of those classic old school jams from back in the day. The instant I heard it, I became obsessed. That being said, I’m curious to know what a dance remix will sound like. Can you blame me? No one ever slow dances at the club and Papa likes to dance so I need a remix. Check out the track below.

One thing is certain, Glee has been struggling in the ratings department this season. And not just by a little, by a lot. The show has declined in ratings every single episode this season. Even with this week’s awesome mash ups, the show still couldn’t regain the viewers it has been losing week after week. However, the collision of Adele songs has brought Glee back on top of the music charts. So with the few big numbers planned ahead, will this give Glee the ratings shake up it needs?

It’s questionable really. Despite the fact that FOX has been leaking the songs early to try and get viewers excited about them doesn’t seem to be working at all. In fact, the hype surrounding the Adele mash-up was so large but the episode pulled in it’s lowest ratings for the season. So what gives? I’m still tuning in week after week. Despite the fact that they are throwing story lines at me left right and center, I still want to tune to see how it will all play out. So, what does Glee have in store musically? Check it out below.

Ever wonder what Britney Spears, Beyonce and Lady Gaga do on their downtime? Wonder no more. Apparently they like to break into cars, litter, flash people, start street fights and roll around in shopping carts. I had no idea these three were BFFs, let alone hoodlums. Judging by the clip, the trio love to cause a ruckus. Obviously, it’s not true. Hell, it’s not even the real Brit, Bey or Gaga but celebrity impersonators.

Typically, this genre of music isn’t something you’d find in abundance on my iTunes, but I’ve been known to dabble in it every now and then. The Kaiser Chiefs are a rock indie band from Leeds, England. They’ve been around since 1996, but it’s probably their new music video for “Kinda Girl You Are” that’ll catapult them into pop consciousness. The track is from their fourth studio album “The Future Is Medieval“.

The group came up with an extremely genius idea to feature these three pop stars in their video. Instead of portraying the divas as rivals, they decided to show them as besties. Whoever styled these impersonators did a bang up job of emulating the singers’ signature looks. At a quick glance (and from far away), these ladies could pass for the real thing. Check out the clip below.

While some people are doubting Beyonce is with child, she’s certainly giving birth to new music videos left, center and right. Seriously, the woman is popping them out of her vajayjay like there’s no tomorrow. Obviously knowing she was preggers, Mrs. Jay-Z decided to film a slew of music videos before her belly became prominent and release them at a later date. Just is the case with her newest clip, “Party“. Bey filmed the clip way back in August. So for those looking for a baby bump, you’re not going to find it. But what you will find are more plagiarism claims. I’ll get to that later.

As the title “Party” suggests, Beyonce is having a big ol’ gathering at her abode. Instead of going glamorous, Beyonce decided to keep it real and film it at the Oakdale Mobile Home Park in New Jersey. Being Queen B, it’s not your average backyard fiesta but one that’s slammin’ and features a couple of notable cameos. Knowles’ younger sister Solange and former bandmate Kelly Rowland join in on the fun. Beyonce rocks out multiple wardrobe changes consisting of bright-colored outfits. My personal favorite is the yellow faux fur coat she wears while mowing the lawn. Hey, if you’re going to cut grass, you might as well look fabulous.

Whoa. Does anyone else think that Beyoncé needs to take a time out? First, Bey releases her epic video for Countdown which sent us through the roof with excitement. Then, out of the blue, clips of her Love On Top video show up on the net and before we know it, she has it released. Now, only after a week and a bit of having that on replay, Team Knowles has decided to release her next single and video, Party.

Photos of Beyoncé on set for the video had surfaced a while back but we were unsure when the video would be released. I can understand that with a baby on the way, she’d want to get a few music videos filmed before heading into motherhood. But, I didn’t think that filming all together would lead to releasing them back-to-back. In an interesting twist, Beyoncé directed the video herself.

The video was shot in a trailer park in New Jersey and features cameos from Solange Knowles and Kelly Rowland. The video features a red muscle car and lots of dancers dressed in flashy fashions of color. A notable difference from the album version of the song is that J Cole is featured in the video version and will be in the video as well.

The video is set to be released on 106th & Park on BET this coming Tuesday, October 25. I personally didn’t like the song the first time I heard it but now, I think it’s growing on me a little bit. If the video is great, that’ll help too. Listen to the track and check out some behind-the-scenes photos from the set below.
