Michael Jackson‘s Bad includes many of his most impressive songs. The writer of one of the album’s songs said it came from God. That’s fascinating, considering that the music video for the tune includes images of some of the most famous religious leaders who ever lived.
Michael Jackson knew a song from ‘Bad’ came from God even though nobody told him that
“Man in the Mirror” was co-written by Siedah Garrett. Grett might be most known for duetting with the King of Pop on his hit ballad “I Just Can’t Stop Loving You.” During an interview with Blue Railroad, she said “Man in the Mirror” came from God. Despite this, she didn’t directly tell Jackson about its origins.
“My answer to him was that ‘I asked for it,'” she said. “I didn’t mention God because I didn’t know where he was as far as religion goes.

I knew I was going to shed a tear or two at Olivia Rodrigo's "Guts" Tour. I'm just a girl, after all. On April 6, the three-time Grammy winner performed her second of four sold-out shows at Madison Square Garden in New York City. And for an hour and a half on Saturday night, Rodrigo reminded us of the good, bad, and ugly of girlhood.
A bag adorned with ribbon bows slung over my shoulder, I screamed in anticipation with a crowd full of sequin miniskirts, glittery purple eyeshadow, and fishnet tights as Rodrigo ascended onto the stage for her opening number, "Bad Idea Right." To my surprise, the audience wasn't just young teens, kids, and their parents. An unexpected handful of 20- and 30-something adults like me were just as ready to jump and sing along to a mix of tunes from her sophomore album, "Guts," and her critically acclaimed debut album,...

Olivia Rodrigo may be this generation's breakup-anthem queen, but she doesn't kiss and tell. Like her music idol Taylor Swift, Rodrigo often finds solace in channeling heartbreak into lyrics, and the "Traitor" singer isn't afraid to get exceptionally raw and honest in her songs - but her music is where she draws the line. Rodrigo has never confirmed any of her rumored relationships, including her highly speculated romance with "High School Musical: The Musical: The Series" costar Joshua Bassett.
In her "Vampire" single, which was released on June 30, Rodrigo once again poured her heart out about a destructive relationship. Though she hasn't provided any hints about who the song might be about, fans have already begun to speculate that it might be inspired by her rumored ex, Zack Bia, due to one key lyric: "Six months of torture you sold as some forbidden paradise."

“You guys know what it is? I bet you can’t guess what I’m getting right now,” the singer said in the video as the light obscured the details of her new body art. “But I am getting my tour tattooed, it’s a tradition.”
“8 more #Play shows left so it’s tour tattoo time.”
The ‘Firework’ songstress wrote over the clip. In a follow-up image, Perry showed off her new tattoo of a cartoon mushroom — an object featured prominently within her Play residency.

As the U.S. surpasses 240 school shootings in 2023, setting the stage for a record-breaking year of gun violence in schools, Sandy Hook Promise (Shp) is launching “Just Joking,” its latest public service announcement (PSA) to underscore how important it is to take threats of gun violence seriously.
The PSA features a lineup of renowned comedians – including Billy Eichner, Wanda Sykes, Margaret Cho, Jay Pharoah, Roy Wood Jr., Caitlin Reilly, David Cross, Iliza Shlesinger and Rachel Bloom – who lend their wit to deliver a sobering message: Threats are not jokes. If you see a warning sign of violence, always say something.
In the PSA, audience members assume that comedians are performing regular stand-up routines and “Just Joking.” However, it is later revealed that what the audience thought were punchlines were actually all real threats made by school shooters across the country – including the shooter at Robb Elementary in Uvalde, TX who...

“Peace over pleasure,” Olivia Rodrigo told me one night in Los Angeles while serving herself a steamy, heaping plate of spaghetti and meatballs. “That’s my saying.” Getting to hear casual truth-bombs like this is part of the joy that comes from spending time with the wisest 20-year-old in pop, and for our October cover story, we spent quite a lot of it.
Naturally, a lot of delightful randomness landed on the cutting-room floor. Rodrigo talked about how, when she was a newborn, her parents would put her on the...

Katy Perry has cashed in on her catalog of hits, selling her stake in her master recordings and publishing rights to Litmus Music for a reported $225 million, according to Billboard.
The deal covers the five albums Perry released for Capitol Records, starting with 2008’s One of the Boys and ending with 2020’s Smile. That run also includes 2013’s Prism, 2017’s Witness, and Perry’s blockbuster 2010 effort, Teenage Dream, which spawned five Number One Hot 100 hits.
Perry’s decision to sell to Litmus makes sense, as its co-founder Dan McCarroll, used to run Capitol Records.

Olivia Rodrigo paved her own way for her excellent, guitar-drenched second album, Guts. It’s impossible to imagine a major pop artist pushing this hard into rock if she hadn’t already opened the door with the hardest-hitting moments of her 2021 debut, Sour. (That said, she doesn’t see herself as a pop star, anyway.)
In the new episode of Rolling Stone Music Now, Angie Martoccio, who wrote our revealing new cover story on Rodrigo, joins host Brian Hiatt to break down every track of Guts, from the biting sarcasm of the opening track,...

Few things in music are more daunting than following up a smash debut album, but Olivia Rodrigo has pulled off that feat with Guts. The follow-up to 2021’s Sour finds the singer-songwriter turning the glories and messes of young adulthood into undeniable pop-punk bangers. That’s not to say its success was a foregone conclusion, nor was its creation an effortless endeavor. In her new Rolling Stone cover story, we learn all about how Rodrigo navigated the rigors and pressures of songwriting, celebrity, and just plain growing up to craft...

Olivia Rodrigo’s Guts presents a young woman with more wide-reaching concerns than the single-minded scorned lover of 2021’s Sour. On her second studio album, the singer delves further into self-doubt, pirouetting from peer envy (“Lacy”), to the pressure of meeting society’s expectations (“Ballad of a Homeschooled Girl”), to suffocating beauty standards (“Pretty Isn’t Pretty”). Some of these are more richly realized than others, but the 20-year-old Rodrigo’s attempts to expand the aperture of her worldview are admirable.
The writing on Guts teeters on the edge between the broad and the specific, a balance that’s resulted in some of the savviest and most exciting pop music. One of the album’s highlights, “Logical,” is a stinging takedown of an ex-flame, and like many of the songs here, it first appears earnest but is layered with a wounded, embittered sarcasm. The track illustrates the confusing, devastating experience...

Olivia Rodrigo cares about what other people think. It's one of the common threads that runs through her sophomore album, "Guts," which was released on Sept. 8.
Her candor about the agony of constantly comparing herself to others is part of what makes the album so relatable. In an era where tallies of likes, streams, views, and shares are constantly broadcast and women, in particular, are bombarded with messaging that tells them they must have perfect looks, minds, and relationships while also being completely confident and loving themselves, it's hard to fully avoid feeling less than.
That tangle of contradictions is the heart of the opening track, "All-American B*tch," which explores the myriad contradictions women are faced with - be demure yet confident, humble yet fearless, sexy yet sweet. "I don't get angry when I'm pissed, I'm the eternal optimist / I scream inside to deal with it," Rodrigo sings, setting the tone for the album.

Grammy Award-winning artiste Olivia Rodrigo has released her second album ‘Guts’, featuring her two premium hits ‘Vampire’ and ‘Bad Idea Right?’ The album sees the 20-year old singer expanding on her artistry, and pushing new horizons as she defies conventional pop music norms and take a more experimental side, featuring synthesisers, electric guitars, sampling while giving the whole LP, a bit of a pop rock flavour as opposed to going pure pop, like she did on her debut album ‘Sour’.
While ‘Vampire’ reached No.1 on Billboard 100 and Spotify upon its release in June, ‘Bad Idea Right?’ on its release back in August, has so far already reached the Top 10 on the Billboard 100, in the US and UK.
To celebrate the arrival of ‘Guts’, Rodrigo is sharing a live performance video for the album-opening song “All-American B****”. The full track list for ‘Guts’ includes:

Olivia’s pop-punk bangers are full of killer lines (“I wanna meet your mom, just to tell her her son sucks”), but she pushes deeper in powerful ballads like “Logical.” All over Guts, she’s so witty, so pissed off,...

Pop star Katy Perry is putting her family life first before her music career and has not put out any new music since giving birth to her daughter Daisy in 2020. Katy agrees that her baby girl remains her number one priority, reports aceshowbiz.com.
“I haven’t put any new material out since my darling Daisy. I think that I’m writing a lot and have written a lot from a place of love, because I’m feeling so much of it – so much unconditional love, that love you never knew existed,” the chart-topping star – who has Daisy, three, with actor Orlando Bloom – told “Good Morning America”.
Katy is determined to enjoy some quality time with her family before she embarks on the next phase of her career. The ‘Teenage Dream’ hitmaker — who is nearing the end of her Las Vegas residency — has also urged her fans to remain patient with her.
