It’s been an especially dirty day here on VH1 Tuner and for that we apologize. First, we had Brian McKnight singing about his desire to show women how their holiest of holies work (!!!), and now comes this little piece of potential nastiness. So, while Adam Levine, Christina Aguilera, Cee Lo Green and Blake Shelton [...]
Everyone knows that the years 2000-2010 were not very good for the music industry.

Let’s hear it for the girls! Adele and Katy Perry are topping the Billboard charts post Grammys, rolling over their historical successes from 2011 into what looks to be an equally successful 2012 for both young women. Katy Perry’s new single from Teenage Dream: The Complete Confection, “Part Of Me”, which she performed for the [...]
Adele got caught up in her very own M.I.A. moment at the Brits last night when she gave everyone the bird on live television.
