“I still can not believe we have lost one of the most, powerful, soulful, soothing and classic voices of our time,” wrote Ashanti. “Her beauty, strength and poise touched millions around the world. She paved they way for women such as myself and her music brought generations together. Every little girl sang a Whitney Houston song. Having the honor of her being in my video and being the huge icon that she was, she always seemed like your favorite aunty. My heart goes out to her daughter and family.

Chris Brown’s “F.A.M.E.” won for R&B album at the 54th Grammy Awards on Sunday, capping off a rocky comeback year for one of pop/R&B’s most talked-about bad boys.
Brown’s personal narrative following his 2009 felony assault on ex-girlfriend Rihanna has been a mixed bag, at best. He spent much of 2010 seeking redemption and the greater part of last year making numerous missteps in the media, including Twitter rants, garnering criticism from GLAAD, the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation; a violent meltdown backstage at “Good Morning America”; and the leak of a nude…

The 54th annual Grammy Awards got under way with a song and a prayer Sunday, as the Recording Academy tried to focus on music's biggest night while at the same time paying tribute to one of its fallen greats - Whitney Houston.
Houston died on the eve of the Grammys at the Beverly Hilton Hotel, where she was preparing to attend a pre-Grammy party. Her death cast a huge shadow over the event, and after Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band opened the show, host LL Cool J appeared in black and told the audience: "There is no way around this. We've had a death in…

Capturing the chemistry between Drake and Rihanna on the set of their new video wasn't very hard, the director of the clip, Yoann Lemoine, told MTV News. The video for "Take Care" was shot during the Super Bowl.
"They seemed to be super close and that's what I wanted for the video," Lemoine, best known for directing Katy Perry's "Teenage Dream," Taylor Swift's "Back to December" and Mystery Jet's "Dreaming of Another World," told us. "They fit together pretty well so it was just easy."
Lemoine said the three-day shoot — which took place in a studio as well as a park — had a "very minimal" and "mellow" vibe, even though the track itself is decidedly more upbeat.
"Visually, it's a very humble video ... it's not crazy," the alternative indie musician who also goes by the stage name Woodkid said. "It's actually the most indie video I've done my whole life. It's probably the most famous artists, and they were so open to a project that was so minimal."
"There's a lot of space in the video and I wanted the visuals to pay tribute to that," he continued. "It pays tribute to nature. When I listened to the track, I was seeing a landscape ... involving animals and massive landscapes. I won't say too much, but it's very surprising that there are very few elements in it. It's very simple but there's this big sense of emptiness in it. It's not narrative at all, and it involves animals."
The French filmmaker does not know when the video will air, but he did say that the editing process is going in a "very good direction."
Lemoine — who tweeted a picture of himself with the rap-and-R&B duo last week — admitted that they all watched the Super Bowl on the set between takes, but that there weren't very many other distractions.
"There's something very minimal and very delicate [about it] in a way," he added. "And it was very symbolic too."
