QUEEN OF R&B--JUNO AWARD NOMINEE: MY HIPHOSSIP DEBORAH COX INTERVIEW.

I called Canada's Queen of R&B Deborah Cox while she was pregnant back in Miami on November 26th 2009 and we discussed everything from the new album "The Promise" to the upcoming baby girl which she delivered in February and the new venture with she and husband having their own record label now. Listen to what I said about L'il X. LOL! L'il X did her video with the baby bump.

Her music is # 1 requested material in Nigeria right now for break up, weddings and more. I did this interview for Radio Nigeria and also HipHossip too. She has been nominated for Best R&B recording for this Sunday's Juno awards in Vancouver. The Junos are Canada's GRAMMY awards!!! Good luck on the Junos. I thing she'll be the WINNER on Sunday.

ALL CANADIAN: Deborah Cox Shows Off Her Baby Bump in New Video.

Multi-platinum recording artist Deborah Cox shows off her pregnant belly in her new video for "Beautiful U R" , the massive hit on Canadian radio already, after only a few weeks. BEAUTIFUL U.R. is #15 Billboard Hot 100 Chart , #4 Most Played in Ontario , #25 Hot Digital Songs Chart, #4 Hot AC, #7 CHR, and jumped from #122 to #28 this week on the Main AC Chart. This is a SMASH!

Cox, 37, is nearly seven months pregnant in the video for the tune, which is about "empowerment and love," says Eric Alper, Cox's spokesman. Cox and husband Lascelles Stephens, 44, are expecting their third child in February. Preceding that, Cox's fourth album, The Promise, was released on Nov. 11.

The Grammy winner says on her Web site, "This is a great season in my life," and tells fans of her eclectic R&B and Broadway style that they can catch her on tour this spring.

The Toronto native, who cut her first record in 1995, adds, "I could not be more blessed and I cannot wait to see everyone when I'm promoting the album this fall and out on tour."

Cox, who starred in the blockbuster Broadway musical Aida in 2004, has also partnered with Broadway In South Africa, a non-profit. "It is a really great charity organization which mentors and teaches children in orphanages and townships in South Africa," she says. "You can check out the Web site and donate whatever you can to this great organization."
