Gwen Stefani got the attention of Garbage lead singer Shirley Manson in seemingly no time at all. Manson was already feeling pretty untouchable, but in 2011, she admitted that Stefani caused her a bit of worry.

Manson and Stefani seemed to be big fans of each other, although their music styles and paths have been slightly different. They both started off in bands, but Stefani famously branched out to explore other forms of music. Her solo career would soon match and possibly even surpass her career with the band No Doubt.
Meanwhile, Manson would also enjoy great success with her band Garbage. Perhaps one of their biggest songs was their James Bond song “The World is Not Enough,” named after Pierce Brosnan’s Bond film. They’re also known for “Stupid Girl”, “You Look So Fine,...

In 2022 “American Idol” introduced fans to the Platinum Ticket, an upgraded form of the golden ticket that allows the season’s most promising contestants to skip the first round of Hollywood Week after giving a stellar audition. It may sound like judges Luke Bryan, Katy Perry and Lionel Richie favor those contestants, but how big of an advantage is the Platinum Ticket?
In Season 20 the recipients were HunterGirl, Kenedi Anderson and Jay. In this case the judges forecast one finalist in HunterGirl, who went on to become the runner-up to Noah Thompson. After her Top 24 performance of “Human,” Kenedi withdrew from the competition for personal reasons. Later that season Jay finished in the Top 7, but was eliminated after well-received performances of “I Have Nothing” and “A Song for Mama.”

Rihanna‘s “Umbrella” was, arguably, the song that transformed her from a regular Top 40 singer into a superstar. Two of Rihanna’s regular songwriters were upset that the track was so good. They wanted one of her other tracks to succeed.
Rihanna’s ‘Umbrella’ upset the writers of ‘Don’t Stop the Music’
Together, Mikkel S. Eriksen and Tor E. Hermansen are a songwriting duo called Stargate. They have been instrumental in Rihanna’s career, writing hits such as “S&m,” “Only Girl (In the World),” “Diamonds,” and “Unfaithful.” During a 2018 interview with Entertainment Weekly, Eriksen recalled the creation of Rihanna’s “Don’t Stop the Music,” one of the most beloved dance songs of the 2000s.

“So You Think You Can Dance” season 18 ended the first stage of the competition on Monday night, March 18, with the last dance hopefuls looking for a spot in the choreography round. So far the bar has been set pretty high by standout performances from dancers representing a variety of dance styles, shapes, sizes and ability levels. So who stood out among the last crop of contestants? Did the show save the best for last?
“We’ve put 25 people through,” said judge Allison Holker at the start of the show. She singled out contemporary dancer Braylon Browner and gymnast Dakayla Wilson as standouts from the first two days of auditions. Comfort Fedoke agreed that Wilson is capable of anything a professional choreographer could throw at her. Maksim Chmerkovskiy was especially impressed by contemporary dancer Easton Magliarditi. But “there’s so many other things outside of dance that we’re also looking at.

American Idol is no stranger to bringing back former contestants, but viewers were surprised Sunday night when Alyssa Raghu returned five years after her previous stint.
Raghu understandably wanted the third time to be the charm and had taken several years away from the show to hone her talent following her second appearance in 2019.
In one of the show’s most shocking moments, Raghu was there to support her friend, Julia Davo, who was given similar critiques to come back when her voice had grown.
“I know you said that my voice was going to grow until it was 21,” Raghu recalled.
“You said that when I was, like, 15. Just for giggles, I’d love to sing you something.”
Perry was initially very excited about hearing how Raghu’s voice had changed, noting that it was “one last chance on the oval.”

Alyssa Raghu is throwing her hat back into the American Idol ring, hoping that a third time will be the charm. The singer, who previously competed in Season 16 (2018) and Season 17 (2019), made a special appearance on Sunday in support of her roommate — and ended up auditioning for a third shot at victory herself.
Raghu’s friend, 20-year-old Julia Davo, auditioned with a vibrato-heavy performance of David Bowie’s “Life on Mars?” that left the judges feeling a little shaky. They essentially told Davo the same thing they once told Raghu, that she should come back after she’s given her voice some time to grow.
