VH1's Music Radar Wed., March 23, 2005 - Tues., March 29, 2005

NEW YORK, March 24 /PRNewswire/ -- Notable this week . . .

New Video Adds: Beginning Monday, March 28 Destiny's Child "Girl" Snoop Dogg featuring Charlie Wilson and Justin Timberlake "Sign"

"Inside Track" -- VH1 lets you in on who we think is hot right now John Legend -- Soul singer/pianist John Legend began singing gospel at age five and never looked back. He's played with Alicia Keys, Janet Jackson and Kanye West -- so it's not surprising that his album Get Lifted takes hip hop, soul and R&B to places they've never been.

Keane -- Hailing from the teeny southern-Brit town of Battle, Keane has mastered the art of soft-rocking, piano-driven, melodic pop as sweet and infectious as it comes. If you don't believe us, just check the U.K. charts, where the trio's album Hopes and Fears spent four weeks at #1. If you want to hear more, check out live and exclusive Keane performances at Live@VH1.com.
