Here’s a unique twist. Usually, when a newcomer joins a legend on stage, they help support the former on one of their bigger hits.

Not this time. Realising the talent of Ed Sheeran, Elton John duetted on Sheeran’s performance of Number 1 hit ‘The A Team’ at last night’s 55th Grammy Awards.

The performance, an acoustic session was opened and closed with rapturous applause from the audience. Ed Sheeran has been smashing it both sides of the Atlantic the last 18 months or so, and this performance has set him up at the top of the A-league.

Check out the video below.

“This is a Grammy moment that millions of us have been waiting for. This performance marks the return of a man that was born to make music.”

Yep, that’s how Beyonce and Ellen Degeneres introduced established singer/songwriter Justin Timberlake last night as he wowed audiences taking the stage at the annual Grammy Awards.

The performance, Timberlake’s first Grammy performance since blog-favourite ‘What Goes Around’ 4 years ago, was set in a way Bruno Mars could only wish for. The performance of new single ‘Suit and Tie’ was filmed in sepia (yes, Instagramming your TV!). It fitted perfectly with the direction Timberlake is taking on his new music.

Already a highly energetic [and choreographed] performance, halfway through the set, JT called upon collaborator Jay-Z to take the helm. Though debatable whether Mr Z’s inclusion of the track was worthwhile, his appearance on the performance added an extra level of ‘wowness’.

Once Jay-Z left the stage, JT then treated the audience to song ‘Pusher Love Girl’. The track, which appears with ‘Suit and Tie’ on forthcoming album ‘The 20/20 Experience’, is more of a Maxwell-y vibe and was used to showcase Timberlake”s falsetto tone that many have been used to in the past. A very ‘smooth’ track and an outstanding performance of the two track all in.

Ok, I know this is predominately a music site, however you can’t help but get excited by the sequel to Monsters’ Inc.

Disney Pixar’s acclaimed 2001 animation turned generations into loving monsters all over again, and building on the success, the production house went about creating a sequel.

Created in 3D (sigh!), the sequel will have all the original movie’s stars reprising their roles, with Billy Crystal and John Goodman again teaming up again as Sully and Mike.

Disney Pixar have just released the extended trailer to the movie – check it out below:

RnB singer/songwriter is ready to get back into the studio to work on the follow-up to ‘Channel Orange’, says the album’s producer.

Om’Mas Keith, who produced Ocean’s 2012 critically-acclaimed album has revealed to Billboard that the star has told him to be “ready to get back to work”.

The producer told the magazine “He’s [Ocean] better off now than he was a year ago creatively, harmonically, sonically and musically. We haven’t been immersed like that since we stopped working on the album, but I know that Frank is on a continual quest for knowledge. He doesn’t stop on the knowledge tip.”

Earlier this week, Ocean supported these claims by telling the New York Times that aside from planning to write a book, he’s looking forward to ‘writing in remote locations over the next two years’.

Ocean’s 2012 hit was the follow-up to his acclaimed 2011 mixtape ‘Nostalgia, Ultra’, which spurred two singles, ‘Swim Good’ and ‘Novocane’. Kanye West’s positive reception of ‘Nostalgia, Ultra’, led to Frank Ocean appearing on West & Jay-Z’s joint collaboration album ‘Watch The Throne’.
