    NFL fans are calling for a Super Bowl boycott after it was revealed the 'black national anthem' will be performed ahead of this weekend's big game in New Orleans. 'Lift Every Voice and Sing' is traditionally sung during the pregame festivities at the NFL's end-of-season showpiece, but has sparked huge controversy in recent years. The league has confirmed that Grammy Award-winning singer Ledisi will perform the song - in front of President Donald Trump - shortly before Jon Batiste's rendition of the national anthem on Sunday, leading to a huge fan backlash online.

    Pop legend Alicia Keys claimed that DEI policies are a “gift” to America as she received the Dr. Dre Global Impact Award at Sunday’s Grammy Awards. After winning the award recognizing her decades in the music industry, Keys called for more “diversity, equity, and inclusion” (DEI) in America, not less. “This is not the time to shut down the diversity of voices,” said Keys on sage. “We’ve seen on this stage talented, hardworking people from different backgrounds with different points of view, and it changes the game. DEI is not a threat, it’s a gift.

    Madonna faced immediate backlash Tuesday after sharing an anti-Trump message on X. Social media users savagely attacked the famous singer after she shared a post aligning with the LGBTQ+ community that simultaneously took aim at the Trump administration. “It’s so sad to watch our new Government slowly dismantling all the Freedoms we have been fighting for and WON over the years. (LGBT flag emoji) (broken heart emoji),” Madonna wrote, before adding, “Don’t give up the Fight!” People decided to fight against her instead. A number of internet users tore a strip out of the legendary singer for taking an anti-Trump...

    Lady Gaga vowed to continue fighting for the LGBTQ+ community following the 2024 presidential election, which she called 'devastating' for so many. In a new Elle interview, which took place six days after the results of the American election were announced, the singer, 38, reflected on her reaction to Donald Trump stepping into the role as the 45th president of the United States. 'What's bizarre is I did not write this album thinking that this would happen. I prayed it would not. But here we are,' the Poker Face hitmaker said ahead of the release of her seventh record, Mayhem,...

  • Tina Turner's Lost Private Dancer Song Rediscovered

    A song recorded for Tina Turner's blockbuster album Private Dancer, that was presumed lost, has been rediscovered and will receive its first play on BBC Radio 2 later. Hot For You, Baby, was cut at Capitol Studios in Hollywood and originally intended to be an album track. But it was ultimately jettisoned in favour of era-defining pop hits such What's Love Got To Do With It, Better Be Good To Me and the album's title track. Presumed missing, the master tape was recently rediscovered as her record label compiled a 40th anniversary re-release of Private Dancer. An up-tempo rocker, full...

    Ana Navarro of The View is very upset at Snoop Dogg and other black entertainers for not snubbing Trump and participating in his inauguration festivities. Today on the show, Navarro went so far as to compare Snoop Dogg to a trained seal. Isn’t that kind of… racist? This is just the latest example of the left proving that they have learned absolutely nothing since the election. They just keep doubling down on stupid.

    Jesus, take the wheel. Carrie Underwood had a quick response to the technical difficulties that preceded her performance at Donald Trump’s inauguration on Monday. The “American Idol” winner, 41, was slated to sing “America the Beautiful” at the ceremony inside the US Capitol with the accompaniment of the Armed Forces Chorus and the United States Naval Academy Glee Club. However, she was ultimately left without a band or an instrumental track. The moment Underwood learned the bad news was caught on camera. In a clip from the ceremony shared on social media, someone with a headset approaches the “Before He...

    Billy Ray Cyrus broke his fans’ achy breaky hearts at Donald Trump’s Liberty Inaugural Ball. The singer, 63, took the stage in Washington, DC, on Monday hours after Trump, 78, was sworn in as the 47th president. But Cyrus’ performance was deemed an “epic disaster” by fans after he had a huge meltdown over alleged technical difficulties. The chaos began when Cyrus complained that his guitar wasn’t working while he performed his and Lil Nas X’s hit “Old Town Road.” “Is my guitar still on? I think they cut me off. I don’t hear my guitar anymore,” Cyrus said to...

  • Carrie Underwood was supposed to be accompanied by the Armed Forces Chorus and the United States Naval Academy Glee Club, but that didn't happen. What went wrong. (vanity)

    01/20/2025 10:01:43 AM PST · by RoosterRedux · 63 replies
    During Carrie Underwood's performance of "America the Beautiful" at the inauguration (a few minutes ago), she was supposed to be accompanied by the Armed Forces Chorus and the United States Naval Academy Glee Club. However, there was a significant issue: the musical accompaniment did not play, leading her to perform the song a cappella instead. This unexpected turn prompted her to invite the audience to sing along with her during the performance. What happened? Despite the initial plans for a choral accompaniment, Underwood managed to engage the crowd and complete her performance successfully under challenging circumstances.
