Bruno Mars and his band sure know how to put on a show. Thankfully, his stage presence and voice were put to great use at the Grammys last night as he paid tribute to musical icon Bob Marley along with Sting, Ziggy Marley, Rihanna and Damien Marley. This was definitely my favorite performance of the night, and it looks like the crowd enjoyed it more than anything. Rest in paradise, Mr. Marley!

[Video] Beyoncé Sings The National Anthem At The 2013 Presidential Inauguration

Today's presidential inauguration was definitely a beautiful sight to see. On Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, President Barack Obama was sworn in along with VP Joe Biden while a sense of "togetherness" permeated through the air.  Along with the moving speech from our President, one of the highlights of the inauguration was Beyoncé's performance of the National Anthem.

With the Super Bowl, an HBO documentary and a new album on the way, it seems that 2013 is about to be another amazing year for Queen Bey.

[Music Video] Tamar Braxton - "Love & War"

Tamar Braxton may ruffle a few feathers with her over the top sayings and tendency to tweet before  she thinks, but one thing's been proven-- she has a great voice and she's capitalizing in all the right ways on the success that reality TV has brought her. "Love & War" sat comfortably at #1 on iTunes when it premiered, and she continues to ride with the title track as she debuted the music video earlier last week.

If you've yet to hear the Tamar's love ballad, catch the visuals below or hit the jump to watch her performance of "Love & War" on The Wendy Williams Show. Love & War is set to hit stores this March.

Watch below as Anthony Hamilton and The Don bring some harsh realities to our attention.
