In this special clip by Knocksteady productions, California’s Mike B and producer LODEF perform their single “Light Up” from last summer’s Better Late Than Never mixtape. This isn’t an MV per se, rather a polished video of a live session. The live mix version of this track that you hear can be downloaded for free as well. It’s a pretty dope watch for your Friday afternoon.

Catch Up on Jessica Sanchez’s FINAL American Idol Performances from Tonight’s Show
Months of hard work and determination has come to this, friends. Jessica Sanchez competed tonight as one of TWO finalists (along with Phil Phillips) vying for the American Idol crown in the 11th season of the long running competition. It’s clear the girl can sing, but admittedly she played it a little on the safer side this week – sticking to power pop ballads. But in our humble opinion, she deserves to be your next American Idol. Let’s make it happen!

AJ Rafael Performs for ISA TV’s Secret Stage
ISA has started a new performance video series called Secret Stage, and for the premiere episode they’ve invited AJ Rafael to hold an intimate little session where she sings “Emma Watson“. In case you don’t remember, the ode to the English actress is from his debut album Red Roses (from last Summer). AJ chose to perform at his old middle school, where his love for the arts first blossomed, driving him into the creative lane that we know him for now.

Jessica Sanchez Sings Her Heart Out on Tonight’s Top 4 of American Idol
Ooooph. Jessica Sanchez does it again. She absolutely killed it tonight with her performances of two powerhouse songs, “Steal Away” by Etta James and “And I’m Telling You I’m Not Going” by Jennifer Holiday. She got unanimous praise across the board and if she doesn’t land in the Top 3 tomorrow, I don’t know what else could have done it. Standing O! Amazing job, Jessica.

Watch a Performance of “By Chance (You & I)” by JRA, Feat I.aM.mE & Poreotics
In this special performance clip, JRA performs his bonafide Youtube hit, “By Chance (You & I)“. But what makes this particularly noteworthy is that he’s joined on stage by some noteworthy guests, Chachi Gonzales of I.aM.mE & Can and Jet-Li of the Poreotics. The crowd goes nuts when each of the dancers come out – showcasing some of the fun that is had while some of these artists are on tour.
Re-Watch Jessica Sanchez’s Performances from Top 5 Week on American Idol
Wow, we’re already at the Top 5 for the 11th season of American Idol. Jessica Sanchez and her fellow contestants once again had the opportunity to sing two songs, from the 60′s and of Brit-Pop nature. Unfortunately, critical reception seems to be a bit middling, with Jessica accused of taking the safe, dull route and not making bold enough choices to stand out. We’ll find out in just under 12 hours what the results will be for this week, but here’s to hoping that the chosen one the judges saved just a few weeks ago isn’t on the chopping block once again.

“You are So Beautiful” by Joe Cocker
Dia Frampton & KiD CuDi Perform “Don’t Kick the Chair” on The Voice
Last night, Dia Frampton returned to the stage that made her a national name, performing “Don’t Kick the Chair” with guest feature, KiD CuDi. The song is from her major label solo debut, Red, that was released after her 2nd place finish on the inaugural season of The Voice on NBC, here in the states. If you missed it, you can catch the action in the video below.
Catch Up on Jessica Sanchez’s Performances from Last Night’s American Idol – Top 6
We’re down to the Top 6 finalist in American Idol, and once again the contestants had the opportunity to sing two songs during last night’s show. Our young Jessica Sanchez opened the show with her take on Queen’s Bohemian Rhapsody, and then started the 2nd half with Luther Vandross’ “Dance With My Father”. The former seems to have drawn a mixed reaction throughout the interwebz, while the latter has evoked mostly critical praise. Hopefully Ms Sanchez did enough to help her avoid elimination – remember, there’s no more judges’ save.

Earlier this month, the annual Hip-Hop festival known as Paid Dues, took place in California and Alexander Spit was among many of the artists to grace the stage this year.
