Pics: Mariah Carey kicks off 'The Butterfly Returns' Vegas Residency

A few nights ago, Mariah Carey kicked off 'The Butterfly Returns' residency in Las Vegas at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace!

Due to the weight loss, Mariah has been looking fab lately and her voice sounds good for what it is. I still wouldn't pay money to see her in concert, but it's nice to see her in a good place, and winning over fans yet again.

Pics: Janet Jackson headlines Essence Festival

Janet Jackson served as the headliner for 2018's Essence Festival in New Orleans, Louisiana, over the weekend.

She took a couple minutes on stage to pay tribute to her dad Joe, who passed away last month. Such a sweet tribute. I know many had a lot of negative things to say in regards to the unfavorable methods he used to raise his kids. But at the end of the day, that man was still her father, and she loved him.
