Last night former Destiny's Child vocalist Kelly Rowland played a 40 min set at the Gramercy Theater here in NYC as part of Walmarts "Soundcheck concert series. She looked great as she sang selections covering both her successful and still growing solo career like Commander, When Love Takes Over, Like This and Rose Colored Glasses as well as a sprinkling of Destiny's Child hits like Hard Habit to Break and Say My Name.

It's great to see Kelly successfully continue her solo journey which kicks into high ear this November when her new CD hits stores. Now's she's off to Atlanta to play a few dates and prep for the release of the solo disc. Stay tuned for more about Kelly and other great artists you love as the fall season of the new and improved Urban Pop Life kicks off in late September.

I apologize for not having photos to share, but it was a taped performance and no flash photography was allowed and the post show meet and greet was off the chain as fans and VIP's lined up to share their love with Kelly. Take my word for it tho, Kelly looked as beautiful as ever. Keep livin' ya dream Kelly...we love ya!

Check out these clips from Britney's opening night of her Circus tour. Yes it looks quite derivative of Janet and Madonna, but it also looks like a lot of fun. If anyone wants to take me to the show I'm game. Holla.

You all know I'm a bit of a Pop music head and not ashamed to admit it. Life's short and I like to laugh and have fun sometimes. From time to time I like to keep it lite. This is one of those moments. For those of you who care or are curious at all check out the set list for Britney Spears Circus tour which opens tonight.

She's doing a lot of the songs that I actually like so I am very curious to see how the show is staged. Should be fun. Lawd knows we could all use a little levity.
