The documentary produced by The New York Times FRAMING BRITNEY SPEARS makes headlines because it explores the perfidious machinations behind the pop queen’s rise and fall in detail. But you don’t really find out anything new – let alone about the #FreeBritney conspiracy theory. We reveal more about the film in our review.
OT: Framing Britney Spears (USA 2020)
That’s what it’s about
“Framing Britney Spears” takes a new look at the successful career of pop idol Britney Spears. And she also accompanies the movement that has been campaigning for years against her father’s guardianship imposed on her by court order. Above all, it’s about the disgusting mechanisms of the US pop star machine, of which Britney fell victim at a young age – and has still not been able to free herself from it. But what’s really behind the hashtag #FreeBritney?
Every generation has its pop culture conspiracy theory. Ever since the University of Michigan published an article in its campus newspaper in the summer of 1969 in which it was claimed (jokingly, mind you!) that the pop group “The Beatles” had replaced their bassist and singer Paul McCartney, who had long since died under tragic circumstances, with a doppelganger, it was true Millions of music fans around the world were involved in the “Paul is Dead” conspiracy theory – and cheerfully interpreted record covers, album titles and song lyrics. There are also various myths surrounding the deaths of Marilyn Monroe and Elvis Presley; just like Pink Floyd’s global hit “Another Brick in the Wall”, in whose chorus theorists still use the line to this day “Get him, get him under the roof!” You can believe that the sound engineer Peter Fischer, who was responsible for mixing the record, used to announce his later suicide in an attic. Of course, all of these conspiracy theories were never confirmed, but they remained in the public eye all the longer; And if the Internet had existed back then, each of them would probably have become its own hashtag. Just like in the case of #FreeBritney, a fan movement of Britney Spears supporters that is well on its way to inheriting “Paul is Dead” and the like.
There are few scenes in “Framing Britney Spears” that haven’t been seen somewhere else before.
However, the fact that there is a little more to #FreeBritney than one might assume behind such outrageous ideas as the still-living (!) Elvis Presley on a lunar property (!!) is already evidenced by the journalistic ambitions behind what has been on Amazon Prime for a few weeks available documentary “Framing Britney Spears”. Responsible for this is none other than the renowned New York Times, which has often published short documentaries under the umbrella brand “The New York Times presents” in the past. The director Samantha Stark has also already worked in this series and last year staged a report on US doctors and nurses, who she equipped with Go-Pro cameras for “They Get Brave” to show their everyday work to document it up close. “Framing Britney Spears” completely lacks such immediacy to the material; And the running length of just 74 minutes is primarily filled with long-known scenes – of Britney Spears, who shaved her head bald in 2007, who was caught a little later at the steering wheel of her car with her little son on her lap, and for many years after that celebrated a brilliant comeback in Las Vegas. Fans of the pop singer are likely to have a thorough grasp of the 39-year-old’s life and career. But even if you haven’t followed the escapades surrounding the former teen idol meticulously, the footage shown in “Framing Britney Spears” went around the world. None of this is exclusive or new. But bundled up like this, you get a whole new feeling for the dimensions of Spears’ global career.
“The running length of just 74 minutes is primarily filled with long-known scenes – of Britney Spears, who shaved her head bald in 2007, who was caught a little later at the steering wheel of her car with her little son on her lap, and for many years after that celebrated a comeback in Las Vegas.”
Just like for the abnormalities of the US pop music industry. It begins with the production of successful singles and albums, with the planning of world tours and the organization of award ceremonies and ends with the marketing of the most scandalous paparrazzi photos possible and the formulation of a new image after the umpteenth admission to the rehab clinic. “Framing Britney Spears” shows off the penetrance with which celebrity photographers in the USA pursue their “idols” and what kind of tough business lies behind this sleazy part of the VIP circus, as several paparazzi reveal her dependence on stars like also speak to Britney Spears and describe her view of Spears’ career; Nevertheless, such findings are by no means new. And the fact that Britney Spears was once caught driving with her little son on her lap because she simply didn’t know what else to do to escape from the photographers stands out as a cautionary tale as a single exacerbation of events without ultimately reverberating; Britney Spears has simply been in the headlines too often, with too many different scandals that are not always as blamed on third parties.
The documentary presented by the New York Times does not do justice to the singer’s undoubtedly exciting life.
“Framing Britney Spears” primarily shows images we know. The stories surrounding these are also either known for a long time (as they have already been prepared countless times by various media) or are based on assumptions. In particular, the interpretations made by various indirect pioneers about Britney Spears’ state of mind are unpleasant – in a documentary that pities a young woman as the victim of a greasy machine above and never with To speak to her, to claim her as one’s own in the same way that the documentary otherwise accuses the other media of doing, is bigoted. Nevertheless, the selection of interview partners was well thought out: Felicia Culotta, a long-time friend and former assistant of Britney Spears, has her say. As did Kim Kaiman, former Jive Records marketing executive who worked with Britney in her early career; In addition to reporters, star photographers and media experts. Britney and her family have not responded to interview requests from the New York Times. And so “Framing Britney Spears” feeds primarily on speculation, for which a new dosage form like this one would only have been necessary. Even Spears’ Instagram account is more direct.
“Britney and her family have not responded to interview requests from the New York Times. And so “Framing Britney Spears” feeds primarily on speculation, for which a new dosage form like this one would only have been necessary to a limited extent.”
But what about the aforementioned #FreeBritney movement, which assumes that the pop diva is subject to her father’s guardianship against her will and even occasionally sends her fans hidden requests for help? This part of the #FreeBritney movement, which argues clearly in the realm of conspiracy, does not take place in “Framing Britney Spears.” Bizarre things like messages through certain T-shirt colors or eyelashes that are supposed to form the words “Call 911” don’t seem to fit into a New York Times journalistic format. Ultimately, however, this only puts the documentary even further in the middle. Fans of the singer learn nothing new in “Framing Britney Spears.” Anyone who is really interested in Spears’ career rollercoaster will find themselves exposed to a lot of speculation. And then when the makers can at least shoot freely and explore the full extent of the #FreeBritney mania, the film is already over.
Conclusion: The documentary “Framing Britney Spears” presented by the New York Times does not do justice to the singer’s undoubtedly exciting life. A large part of the film consists of images that have long been in the press and speculations from people who often have not even had direct contact with the artist portrayed. After all, you can then see the pop music industry with slightly different eyes.
“Framing Britney Spears” is now available to stream on Amazon Prime.

Singer Ronnie Drew dies after long illness
President Mary McAleese has led tributes to singer Ronnie Drew who has died following a long illness.
The President said: 'It is with great sadness that I have learned of the death of the great Irish singer Ronnie Drew'.
She said he was a champion of traditional Irish music and with The Dubliners re-energised and refreshened Ireland's unique musical heritage. Advertisement
Mrs McAleese said that Mr Drew 'will be greatly missed by many, but most particularly by his family with whom our thoughts are today'.
Phelim Drew said his father passed away peacefully in St Vincent's Private hospital this afternoon at age 73. Mr Drew's family expressed their gratitude to Professor John Crown and the entire staff of the hospital.
Mr Drew founded the then Ronnie Drew Group in 1962 which later came to be known as The Dubliners.
The group included fellow Irish music legends Luke Kelly, Ciaran Bourke and Barney McKenna.
While Mr Kelly was known for singing their soulful ballads, Drew will be best remembered for his gravelly-voiced renditions of rabble-rousing folk songs, like Finnegan's Wake and Dicey Reilly.
Ronnie Drew sang one of the band's biggest commercial hits when they entered the UK top 10 in 1967 with 'Seven Drunken Nights' and appeared on the BBC's Top of the Pops.
In 1995 they appeared once again on the show with Shane McGowan and the Pogues, who performed with Mr Drew on their single 'The Irish Rover'.
Born in 1934 in Dún Laoghaire, Co Dublin, Mr Drew underwent six months' treatment for throat cancer two years ago.
Deirdre, his wife of more than 40 years, died last year. The couple lived in Greystones, Co Wicklow.
He is survived by his two children, Phelim and Cliodhna, and five grandchildren.
Tributes flood in for 'iconic singer'
The Taoiseach said that the Dubliners singer had been an iconic figure in Irish music over the past five decades and that his unique singing voice had been enjoyed by many people.
Mr Cowen added that Mr Drew, whether as part of the Dubliners or during his solo career, will be remembered for his promotion of Irish music both at home and around the globe.
Minister for Arts, Sport and Tourism Martin Cullen also expressed his sadness at the news.
Mr Cullen described the singer as a truly Dublin icon and part of our modern folk history.
He said 'I am sure he will be missed tonight from 'Raglan Road' to Fitzgibbon Street' and in all parts of the city of Dublin which he so romanticised about in his music and song'.
Fine Gael leader Enda Kenny said Mr Drew's contribution to Irish music and Irish life was immeasurable and his influence would be felt for many years to come.
In a statement on U2's official website, Bono said Mr Drew has left his earthly tour for one of the heavens.
'Music to inspire, to console... an optimism that was contagious... that's what U2 took from The Dubliners,' he said.
'Ronnie has left his earthly tour for one of the heavens... they need him up there... it's a little too quiet and pious. God is lonely for a voice louder than His own.'

Ronnie Drew, the legendary Irish folk singer and musician, has died at the age of 73, his family has announced.
Drew, the founder of The Dubliners, had been battling ill health for some time.
In a brief statement, his family confirmed he passed away at St Vincent's Private Hospital in Dublin at 1400 BST on Saturday.
Taoiseach Brian Cowen said Drew had been an "iconic figure in Irish music" over five decades who would be remembered worldwide for his music.
"I met him and admired his music, his unique singing voice was loved by so many people," he said.
"Ronnie, whether as part of The Dubliners or during his solo career, will also be remembered for his promotion of Irish music both at home and around the world.
"He bore his illness with bravery and will be sadly missed."
Drew underwent six months' treatment for throat cancer two years ago.
His wife of more than 40 years, Deirdre, died last year. The couple lived in Greystones, Co Wicklow.
He is survived by his two children and five grandchildren.
Drew's family said he passed away peacefully while they were at his bedside.
Ronnie was a champion of traditional Irish music and, with The Dubliners, he re-energised and refreshed our unique musical heritage Republic of Ireland president Mary McAleese
"The family are very grateful for all the letters of support and wishes during the term of Ronnie's illness," they said in a statement.
They also thanked Professor Crown and the entire medical staff of St Vincent's Private Hospital.
Con Kavanagh, barman at O'Donoghues, where The Dubliners started out, said everybody gathering at the pub this evening was talking about Drew.
"When you mention Dublin, you mention Ronnie Drew — the two just went together," he said. "Everybody loved him."
Irish president Mary McAleese said it was with great sadness that she learned of Drew's death.
"Ronnie was a champion of traditional Irish music and, with The Dubliners, he re-energised and refreshed our unique musical heritage," she said.
During his career, Drew recorded with many artists, including Christy Moore, The Pogues, Antonio Breschi and Eleanor Shanley.
Earlier this year, members of U2 joined fellow Irish musicians Sinead O'Connor, Shane MacGowan, Christy Moore and others to record a tribute song The Ballad Of Ronnie Drew.
All profits from the release of the single went to the Irish Cancer Society.
Speaking at the time of the recording, U2 frontman Bono said: "Ronnie is like the King of Ireland, and we are his subjects.
"This is a big fight for him. But like any fighter, it's easier if there's a crowd cheering."
Drew founded the Ronnie Drew Group in 1962, which later came to be known as The Dubliners.
The group included fellow Irish music legends Luke Kelly, Ciaran Bourke and Barney McKenna and they began by singing in the O'Donoghues pub in central Dublin.
Kelly was known for singing their soulful ballads and Drew will be best remembered for his gravelly-voiced renditions of songs like Finnegan's Wake and Dicey Reilly.
Drew sang one of the band's biggest commercial hits, Seven Drunken Nights, and the band appeared on the BBC's Top of the Pops.
They later appeared again on the show with Shane MacGowan and the Pogues to perform the single The Irish Rover.

This is the last song which the Late Gospel Singer Osinachi Nwachukwu was on but couldn’t sing it through. She died a few weeks before the scheduled date for voicing. Her part on the song is still missing.
Coincidentally, the song is an end time song, calling all souls to repentance and the awareness of the last day.


9 Reasons to Reconsider Kristen Stewart
April 28, 2016 \ Movies \ 6 Comments
Kristen Stewart is not the most popular actress in Hollywood. There are a lot of jokes, media, speculation, and opinions surrounding this young woman trapped in Twilight‘s shadow. But I’m not convinced any of that gossip is representative of her acting ability.
I’m not saying Kristen Stewart is a spectacular actress and I wouldn’t try to convince anyone otherwise, but people tend to form quick, unwaivering opinions about whether or not they like an actor. Though it’s difficult to tear down those iron caged opinions I’d at least like to rattle the cage a bit and give you nine reasons why you should reconsider Kristen Stewart.
1. Co-Workers Applaud Her
Kristen Stewart has been in thirty-five feature films, her first when she was eleven years old. She’s worked across from David Fincher (who directed her in Panic Room), Michael Shannon (who acted across from her in The Runaways), Jon Favreau (who directed her in Zathura), Meg Ryan (who played her Mom in In the Land of Women), and Sean Penn (who directed her in Into the Wild). All of which were before Twilight. Since Twilight she’s worked across from Juliette Binoche (in Clouds of Sils Maria, Julianne Moore (in Still Alice), and under director Woody Allen (Café Society).
Most people she works with have wonderful things to say about her. Jon Favreau said to her in Interview Magazine:
"You really bring your lunch pail to work, so to speak. You’ve got a really strong blue-collar ethic about acting that I like to think I have, too. We auditioned a lot of people your age for Zathura, and I have to tell you, you really stood out as having a presence, and a look, and chops, and poise. Most young girls or boys have sort of an unfocused, scattered energy. You have a very still energy to you."
More recently, director Richard Glatzer said:
Kristen is a force of nature … working with her is like working with Brando. She’s molten, impassioned, resolutely truthful. She doubts herself constantly and is the last person to recognize how great she really is. Maybe that’s the key to her genius.
2. Stewart’s Range of Roles is Eclectic
In The Cake Eaters she plays a girl with a rare disease that causes (among other things) slurred speech, and loss of coordination (impaired walking, balance). Of Stewart’s performance, director Mary Stuart Masterson said, "Every screening I’ve gone to, somebody says, ‘Where did you find this girl with this disease?’" Stewart’s physicality is impressive, but she projects a rare empathy as well. In the film her character says she is eager to have sex. We disapprove of, and applaud this idea; we want to protect her from rushing into her first sexual experience and understand that she really doesn’t have a long life, so why wait? It takes a particular screen presence to capture these nuances while holding our interest and Stewart tethers us nicely.
In Speak, Stewart plays a freshman in high school who is raped by a senior, abandoned by her friends, and is ostracized from her classmates. Stewart’s performance in the film is carefully controlled. There’s a scene where she creates an art piece for class out of bones, forks, and other random items. Her teacher is impressed and says, "Do you want me to tell you what I see? I see a girl caught in the remains of a holiday gone bad. Her flesh picked off day after day. The palm tree might be a broken dream, it definitely has meaning, a lot of pain." As he says "pain," Stewart looks up at him longingly, as though he understands and she can talk to him. But she doesn’t speak. That’s a lot for thirteen year-old Stewart to be able to convey without words.
3. She Often Plays Understated Roles
In most of her films Stewart doesn’t tend to dazzle, but then she often has roles that don’t require her to have the loudest performance in the ensemble. Audiences and critics tend to respond best to intensity, but as Christian Bale said in his Golden Globe acceptance speech for his role in The Fighter, "You can only give a loud performance like the one I gave when you have a quiet anchor and a stoic character. I’ve played that one many times and it never gets any notice." When people accuse Stewart of being "emotionless," I would call that "understated."
Unfortunately, "understated" is easy to dismiss, which is a precarious place in the realm of public opinion. The public thinks it knows best and the persona surrounding an actor can affect the roles they take. But should it? Consider what the world would be like if Hollywood indulged every prejudice the audience had.
4. Audience Prejudice Works Against Her
Remember the public outcry when Daniel Craig was announced to replace Pierce Brosnan as James Bond? There was even a website created in protest: danielcraigisnotbond.com. Many felt that Craig didn’t exude the class Bond required, that he lacked sex appeal, and that he was simply "too blonde" to be Bond. Just think, no crane chase in Casino Royale, no shirtless beach stroll. No Skyfall.
Think about Will Smith starting as the Fresh Prince of Bel Air. Would we allow him to leave that goofy comedic role and throw that first punch in Ali? Believe him capable of Tom Hanks-like feats (Cast Away) and carry a whole movie on his own in I Am Legend? Or make us feel that lump in his throat in The Pursuit of Happyness?
The list goes on. Clint Eastwood would have remained a TV actor instead of becoming The Man With No Name. Romantic comedy actor Heath Ledger would never have been allowed to go beyond his roles in Ten Things I Hate About You and A Knight’s Tale — no one thought he could play The Joker in The Dark Knight. Ben Affleck’s career would have died after Pearl Harbour, Daredevil, and Gigli. We laughed at the idea of him being Batman in Batman v Superman. After people saw it, though? Not as funny.
5. We Don’t Treat Celebrities like People
It’s hard to empathize with celebrities because we hold fame and wealth to a different standard. In 2012, thanks to the ending of the Twilight franchise and Snow White and the Hunstman, Kristen Stewart was the highest paid actress that year. That’s a difficult fact to ignore when people are watching Stewart fidget and verbally fumble through interviews. Jodie Foster, who worked alongside Stewart in Panic Room had some insight into Stewart’s mannerisms in an interview: "I just love Kristen Stewart … Because she’s very much like me: She’s not comfortable in life being a big externally, emotional person, beating her chest, crying every five minutes."
That’s the kind of introverted nature people target with Stewart. One of the women on Good Morning America even said, (and I’m paraphrasing here) "if you’re an actress being interviewed, can’t you just act like a normal person in front of the camera?" A lot of people share this sentiment. We want our actors to be monkeys that dance for us — we forget they are human.
But people in Hollywood are human and it takes a strong person to choose a life in the spotlight when they are so introverted. Regardless of how much money they make or how successful they are, actors are still people — strong people. We see a star’s wealth and don’t consider what their environment is like, or what they must overcome. In Dave Chapelle’s Inside the Actor’s Studio interview he does a good job of humanizing actors. He talks about filming Blue Streak with Martin Lawrence, about Martin’s stroke during filming, and Martin’s arrest when he was screaming at people in the street with a pistol in his back pocket.
"When we did Blue Streak we were promoting it and Martin had a stroke. He almost died. And then after that I saw him and I was like ‘Oh my God, Martin, are you OK?’ and he said ‘I got the best sleep I ever got in my life’, That’s how tough he is. So let me ask you this — what is happening in Hollywood that a guy that tough will be on the street, waving a gun, screaming ‘they’re trying to kill me’? What’s going on? Why is Dave Chappelle going to Africa? Why does Mariah Carey make a $100 million deal and take her clothes off on TRL? A weak person cannot get to sit here and talk to you. Ain’t no weak people talking to you. So what is happening in Hollywood? Nobody knows. The worst thing to call somebody is crazy. It’s dismissive. I don’t understand this person so they’re crazy. That’s bullshit. These people are not crazy. They strong people. Maybe their environment is a little sick."
6. She Has Emotions
It’s a lack of empathy that allows us to reduce Kristen Stewart to this image:
It’s witty, I admit. Not just the idea, but the number of emotions they chose and the variety. The “wistful” emotion is perfect; “wistful” is an absurdly specific emotion that is difficult to convey in a still picture.
But here’s what it should look like:
Some emotions are a bit tricky to match a picture to, but I think most of these images match perfectly. In the “Aroused” screenshot Stewart lowers her eyes and presses the tip of her knife against her lower lip. In the “Mischievous” screenshot you can see the glare she’s giving Jesse Eisenberg (who is off-screen), taunting him. In the “Terrified” picture she is suitably panic-stricken.
7. Twilight is Silly and It’s not Her Fault
Whatever else she does, Stewart will be known for her role as Bella in Twilight, which is unfortunate. No, she doesn’t do an amazing job in Twilight, but who does? Michael Sheen has been nominated for (and won) multiple awards, including BAFTA and various Film Critics awards. In Twilight, however, he seems silly. How can such an actor be considered a goofball? Here’s an excerpt from the source material:
"Bella, I’ve already expended a great deal of personal effort at this point to keep you alive. I’m not about to let you behind the wheel of a vehicle when you can’t even walk straight. Besides, friends don’t let friends drive drunk," he quoted with a chuckle. I could smell the unbearably sweet fragrance coming off his chest.
"Drunk?" I objected.
"You’re intoxicated by my very presence," he was grinning that playful smirk again.
8. She’s Won Some Awards
Sometimes I think the only awards that matter to people are the Oscars, which is funny considering how often people disagree with them. But I think for our purposes, there is value in recognizing that Kristen Stewart has some critical acclaim. Mostly around two films, though she has received (at the time of this publication) 53 nominations for roles in films. Her wins center largely around two films: Welcome to the Rileys and Clouds of Sils Maria.
For her role in Welcome to the Rileys Stewart received a Milano International Film Festival Award, and for Clouds of Sils Maria she received an award from the Alliance of Women Film Journalists, a Boston Society of Film Critics Award, a Florida Film Critics Circle Award, a National Society of Film Critics Award, a New York Film Critics Circle Awards, and a César, which is like the French Oscars, making her the first American actress to ever win one.
9. She Doesn’t Care What We Think
While the internet made jokes about her and the media focused on the Robert Pattison gossip, Stewart kept working. She’s a self-proclaimed workaholic and it doesn’t matter what we say about her, she’s going to keep going. She used the international recognition (the only valued currency in Hollywood) from Twilight and moved onto the blockbuster Snow White and the Huntsman, then onto the Jack Kerouac inspired On the Road, and roles in indie films like Camp X-Ray (where she played soldier at Guantanamo Bay), Clouds of Sils Maria (a movie that won her a lot of acclaim), and Still Alice (where she played the daughter of a mother who is diagnosed with Alzheimer’s Disease). Next month she has two films coming out at Cannes and has been referred to by the festival director as the “Queen of Cannes.”
Stewart just keeps going.
So you can leave Kristen Stewart there, forever trapped in gossip and Twilight‘s shadow, but the next actor that gets pigeonholed might be your favourite actor. Maybe you watch them on TV and think they could do more, but it’s rare for a TV actor to transcend to TV and even rarer to do so successfully. Perhaps part of the reason for that is our rigid, unwavering opinions about actors — those opinions limit us.
When asked about how he chooses his roles Tom Hanks said, “Our job is to hold the mirror up to nature … We must be constantly examining who we are, how we got here, and how we’re getting through all of this.” He wasn’t just talking about choices for himself, he was talking about the choices we should all make. He’s saying the next time you see Kristen Stewart don’t look away, look straight at her. She is not (nor is any actor) a foregone conclusion. Each film, each role she’s in is an opportunity to reflect on ourselves. All we need is the courage to do so.


The Addams Family cast leads face large age gaps
Morgan Brown’s audition for Bearden’s upcoming musical The Addams Family required her to remove all of her makeup, to hide her hair in a baseball cap, and to dress in boys’ clothing.
Needless to say, the role of Pugsley Addams is much different from any other part Brown has ever had, as well as much different from her persona; Pugsley is a chubby, 10-year-old boy.
Besides playing the part of a much younger male, this is Brown’s first part where she won’t be dancing, in contrast to her previous roles as a chorus member and her wide background as a dancer. On top of this, she will also wear a fat suit.
Musical theater teacher Mrs. Leann Dickson said that this the first time in about 25 years that a student has played a gender-reversed part at Bearden.
“I knew we had some girls in the class who were small enough to play children,” Dickson said. “Obviously, if we used a real child, they would have to get out of school, and they couldn’t be a part of the cast with us.”
Brown said that while she is playing the part of a child, the part comes with its own emotional depth.
“His sister Wednesday is getting married to her boyfriend Lucas, and [Pugsley] doesn’t really like it,” Brown said. “It’s a really emotional part.
“It’s pretty deep because I’m having to connect with his loss.”
Brown is not the only one who will have to not act her age in the musical. Senior Michaela Leib is playing the Addams’s 102-year old grandmother.
Like Brown, Leib’s personality differs greatly from that of her character.
“The major difference, I think, is that grandma is very in your face and loud, whereas I’m much more reserved,” Leib said. “It’s been fun seeing people react to this sudden change of character, even if it is just for the show.”
Leib also enjoys the vocal uniqueness presented with playing the part of Grandma.
“I’ve played characters that require accents or unique voices, and I sang in last year’s musical, but having to talk and sing in a granny voice is definitely a new experience,” Leib said.
Mrs. Dickson believes that the talent level among the cast allows for the class to perform a show with such dynamic characters and initiated her decision to change the musical from her original choice to do Bye Bye Birdie.
Performances for The Addams Family are Nov. 12, 14, and 15.

His abilities as a producer and songwriter have also distinguished him as a valuable collaborator for artists of all genres, co-writing breakout hits for Troye Sivan (“Happy Little Pill”) and Alec Benjamin (“I Built a Friend”) among many others. But to see the singer perform solo, self-accompanied on the piano, is to see Brandon in his natural element: give him a crowd ready to be transported, and his show-stopping voice and disarmingly intimate songwriting will do the rest.
In today’s busy musical landscape, Brandon stands out for his willingness to dive deep for songs that ring true. His first singles for 2020 release are some of his most personal yet, and are sure to further solidify Brandon’s status as a songwriter of note: “Run”, an uplifting meditation on ceding control and rolling with life’s imperfections; “Little House”, a touching ode to his father, mother, and step-mother, whose support allowed Brandon to develop into the musician he is today; and “Who Wants to Go”, an inspiring treatise on the state of American politics and our need to find a kinder way forward. Listeners will recognize in these songs an approach that follows Brandon across projects and pursuits - honest sentiments expressed with great technical ability. Able to turn poignantly individual stories into something accessible, and to distill diverse sonic inspirations into something timeless, Brandon’s songwriting is sui generis. And whether you find him on stage, on screen, or in the studio, Brandon’s authenticity and boundless creativity show him to be one thing above all else: an artist.

I was parusing facebook a few days ago and I saw a post from the band Disturbed. I have always been a fan of theirs since The Sickness came out around the same time as Linkin Park’s Hybrid Theory album; around 2000. The post was an interview done with Distburbed’s frontman David Draiman for Consequence of Sound.
I reccomend checking out the video (here) of the interview. David has always been an advocate for mental health and addiction awareness. He posts some really good ideas and comments on the subject.
In it he discusses mental health and addiction. He also shares some memories about Linkin Park’s frontman Chester Bennington; who succumb to his depresstion in July of 2017. The reason for this discussion is because Distbured has a song out A Reason To Fight, off of their new album Evolution, that is about struggling with addiction and depression. Check it out yourself:


THIS WILL NEVER NOT BE FUNNY
THEIR REACTIONS ALONE

During one of his interviews, Eren was asked why he looked so angry. He scoffed and replied:
"I know that Shinji Ikari is going to beat me again, why wouldn’t I be angry about that?"

Her journey began a child, listening to music from her father, Stephen Hewitt - a highly regarded guitarist and owner of the renown Mighty Cloud Band - as he rehearsed with the band at their home in Vineyard Town in Kingston, Jamaica. As she performed her way through Camperdown High, she became a member of the legendary performing arts troupe, Cathi Levy’s Little People and Teen Players.
Althea’s natural effervescence, consciousness and performing prowess led her to becoming the leader of the award-winning group, Fourth Street Sisters, which not only dominated the Jamaican cabaret scene for years, but helped to re-establish the female vocal group as a viable musical concept in the Jamaican setting. released the singles “Long Way Home” and “Still the One”.
She has also been a member of the renowned performing arts collective troupe, Tribe Sankofa, and has been featured in several productions, including ”Hairpeace” and “Positive”, and gone a step further with her own production, “Intimate at Studio 38”.
“I feel that I have a responsibility to set a positive example. So when composing my lyrics, I like to empower people, and to cover subject matters concerning our relationships and concerns. My ultimate aim is touch people worldwide and help us all to live more positively. Challenges are always there, but beyond the fall, it is about knowing you can get up because you’re a person of worth. Your only true competition is you.”
Musically, Althea is the complete package. She deftly incorporates reggae, pop, R&B and jazz into her music, thanks to the extensive vocal training, as well as speech, acting and dance courses she has taken at the prestigious Edna Manley College of the Visual and Performing Arts. She also has a background in music production, and produces her own shows, songs and engineers from her home studio.
Not confining herself to merely belting out tunes, Althea has also exercised her talents as songwriter, actress and model. These talents, along with her music have taken her across the world. She’s taken stages throughout Europe, North and South America, and even to the Micronesian island chain of New Caledonia, a French Pacific territory some 750 miles east of Australia. One of her proudest moments, however, was representing her home, Jamaica, as part of cultural showcase in Brussels, Belgium.
After releasing her successful debut compilation, “Introducing Althea Hewitt” which yielded the tracks “Boom Boom Boom”, “Unconditional Love”, and “Save Me”, among others, she came “Stronger” in 2019 – the name being the title of both her follow-up album and powerful hit single. In 2020, she released her EP, “My Black Is Strong”, featuring powerful tracks such as “My Joy”, “Freedom” and the title track, ‘My Black is Strong.”


Kanye West needs no introduction. Love him or hate him, you know who he is. And even if you’re the most casual peruser on the Internet, you’ve also heard about his latest full length album.
Previously known as So Help Me God, then SWISH, then Waves, and finally The Life of Pablo, this highly anticipated LP has been on the foreground of music culture for the past year or so. It’s been a long and characteristically annoying wait, more so than any other recent release that comes to mind. There are a few reasons to why that is but mainly because of Kanye’s own madcap creative process, made largely transparent to us via Twitter.
All the superfluous alterations of the album title, the cover art, the track listing over the span of just a few months showed us that even Kanye wasn’t always sure of exactly what to have us expect from this new project. All bets were off on the kind of music he would be putting out. But like with most aspects of his artistic undertaking, the project’s constant state of revision turned out to be a genius marketing ploy.
With every little change came a tidal wave of new social media coverage. Some touting outrage and some just plain ridiculous.
I am the Jordan and Steph Curry of music, meaning I’m the best of 2 generations.
— KANYE WEST (@kanyewest) February 15, 2016
But for all the strange and confusing Twitter promotion, Kanye was still in control. So when the album finally dropped I wasn’t too surprised to find it to be just as bizarre as Kanye’s recent behavior itself.
The Life of Pablo is a spectacular mess. And I mean that quite literally. This album is for the most part a total reflection of Kanye’s own state of self, spectacular yet so very messy. In the face of being one of the biggest celebrities in the world, his actions constantly manage to get him labeled as crazy, erratic, offensive; the list could go on. And he may be all of those things but before being able to completely comprehend these implications, it’s important to know where Kanye West really comes from.
After dropping out of college he started breaking in the late 90s and early 2000s as a producer in Chicago, under the mentorship of hip hop and R&B producer legend No I.D..
Kanye had previously worked with his contemporaries producing and programming, like on Jay Z’s The Blueprint, but yearned for his own career as a rapper to which the industry of the time opposed him in every way. Record labels wouldn’t back a rapper who didn’t make music about narcotics, fornication, and gangbanging. And Kanye wanted to rap about his own experiences. He wanted to rap about things anyone could relate to. Like family, and struggling with identity, and dropping out of college. Normal stuff.
Then after a near-fatal car crash he recorded his first EP and single “Through the Wire” aptly titled since he sang the whole thing while his jaw was still wired shut.
With his first album The College Dropout, he single-handedly brought hip hop music out of the gangster rap era. He was able to do this by being one of the hardest working people in the business. A work ethic he picked up from his late mother, an English professor who wanted nothing more for her son than a college degree, and his father who was a photojournalist and also happened to be a Black Panther.
Kanye wanted to be the greatest rapper alive and nothing could stand in the way of his commitment to his craft. He helped develop the modern style of soul sampled vocalization. Then after his mother passed he went deeply personal in 808s & Heartbreak, an album many at the time shrugged off and found abrasive because of this little thing called progressive autotuning, and yet it went on the change the very sound of popular music for years to come.
Kanye West made himself exactly what he wanted to be and did exactly what he wanted to do, becoming today’s greatest example of a self-actualized artist. He is a force of sheer will and commitment.
But during all this time the media and the paparazzi managed to find a way to keep the public conversation around Kanye West about the shallow, tangible aspects of his personality: the girlfriends, his off-putting quotes, and of course, his ego, citing accusations of narcissism and megalomania. And the reason why this never went away in the two decades he’s been active is because Kanye’s music was a persistent present in that very same public consciousness.
His music always, always seems to matter more than his many social faux pas. No matter what ill-advised incursion he makes, his peers have the utmost respect for his talent. Because there’s always a power anthem out there, or a soulful ballad, or a weird earworm. Kanye’s work seemed to have an uncanny sense of what the cultural zeitgeist needed at every turn. And it’s because Kanye’s music is deeply confessional.
Kanye is possibly the most honest person working in music today. This is excruciatingly apparent in everything he says or does. It’s not that he’s stupid, it’s because he truly doesn’t care to lie about what he thinks. Which leads to some truly awkward red carpet moments, horrifically revealing interviews, and the most confusing Twitter ever. He is as honest in person as he is in his lyrics, making him the most provocative artist alive. And while most artists use provocation as a mechanical tool to the end of artificial controversy, it is in fact Kanye West’s default setting. He literally can’t help who he is.
And the person Kanye is now seems to be in a transitional stage in his life. He hasn’t been able to settle down in the way he would like, with his ideas in a constant state of flux. His work in fashion has been scrutinized much in the way of his early days rapping, yet he perseveres disregarding the fact that he is $52 million in debt because of these endeavours. Debt that directly affects his life as a family man with a wife and two kids. While also still struggling with the loss of his mother and his Christian faith, he brings us his first gospel album in the form of The Life of Pablo.
This album also appears to be his first that behaves as just an album. With no grand gestures and a sporadic slew of guest features, TLOP is not greater than the sum of its parts. The title referencing both Paul the Apostle and Pablo Picasso, TLOP is a collection of ideas rather than songs. The tracks stand much like the singular strokes of a Jackson Pollock painting. Each color matching only itself and blending into its surroundings sharply but ever so slightly.
There are a lot of ideas on this thing, and most of them just buds in the process of blooming because Kanye doesn’t seem to want them to flower just yet. Ideas stuck in a transitional phase, paralleling Kanye’s current state of self.
The album booms open with the stunning raw power of “Ultralight Beam”, a gospel track through and through, deliberating Kanye’s convictions in his faith in God, complete with an outro prayer held by the legendary gospel artist and pastor Kirk Franklin. Then immediately shifts gear with the next track “Father Stretch My Hands” into coarse and all-too-revealing verses about past and present relationships, with a chorus from Kid Cudi that is more realized than his last five releases combined.
The most controversial track on the album, “Famous” sees Kanye breaking up with his “fame”, personified by verses from Rihanna’s third collaboration with Kanye. Referencing the Taylor Swift 2009 VMAs incident in an opening bar that is easily misogynistic and abrasively hilarious, Yeezy releases himself from the event that has partly defined public perception of his fame for several years now. Lyrical content fused with heavy beat switches makes for the only straight up banger on the album.
“Real Friends” brings in Ty Dolla $ign to rap as the perspective of old friends Kanye struggles to make time for given his present life.
“No More Parties in LA” is by far the best track off the album. Even from its brief tease during Kanye’s promotional GOOD Fridays releases, I knew the phenomenal Madlib had something to do with the beat. Add on top of it Ye’s first released Kendrick Lamar collaboration and the themes of fake celebrity lifestyles are hardly necessary to elevate an already special track. These are only a few instances off the 18-track album but it’s already clear how Kanye dropped exactly how he was feeling in the minute into these songs. An idea that reflects the immediately responsive Twitter-Instagram-Tumblr culture we live in today.
Unlike the tightly measured constructions of any of his past full length releases, Kanye drops in broken pieces of his psyche into TLOP and challenges fans and listeners to assemble them back together, which makes for a listening experience that is just as engaging as his other projects. And as ever, his architectural mastery over sampling and manipulation stands as a sure highlight of this insane album.
But it does remain a challenging experience, perhaps too esoteric for Yeezy fans disappointed with 2013’s Yeezus. With the multitudes of brash ideas on TLOP, Kanye experiments with his sound in the same way as on that release. And as with all things that are completely honest, this album is at times too much. With total honesty can come true ugliness. The Life of Pablo and Kanye West are no different.
I know I confuse you guys sometimes but please bare with me. — KANYE WEST (@kanyewest) February 15, 2016

In case you haven’t heard, there’s a big wedding on today in the United Kingdom. It’s an event that will see Prince Harry, the sixth in line to the British throne, wedded to Meghan Markle, an American actress best known for her seven-year stint portraying Rachel Zane on the legal drama Suits. To say that the media has taken an interest in the couple would be a massive understatement.
If you’ve been following all the hullabaloo surrounding the royal wedding, you might have noticed a few media outlets reporting on the “sacrifices” that Meghan Markle will have to make as she officially joins the royal family.
Firstly, Markle will have to give up her burgeoning acting career in exchange for her royal duties. Once she is married to Prince Harry, she will likely be spending her time supporting him on diplomatic visits and undertaking philanthropic efforts, as many of the royals do.
There are heavier sacrifices to be made. In abiding to royal conventions, Markle has deleted all her social media accounts, including her Instagram and personal blog. According to an InStyle report, there was a sense of uneasiness surrounding the idea of a candid and personal social media account run by a member of the royal family. One glance across the pond at a certain Presidential social media account should easily explain the trepidation.
As a result, Markle’s social media presence has been limited to the official Kensington Palace Instagram account (@kensingtonroyal); if you’re a social media addict, look away now–she’ll have to share that account with her husband, as well as her future brother and sister-in-law.
And if that’s not painful enough, brace yourself, because Markle’s biggest sacrifice has been Bogart, her beloved lab-shepherd rescue pup who’s been left behind in Toronto as Markle made the move to Kensington Palace. You only need to do a quick Google image search to realize the gravity of her sacrifice.
It should be obvious by now that Markle’s marriage to Prince Harry requires her to give up her personal identity that she’s worked hard to curate and develop throughout her career as a celebrity, in exchange for a life that seemingly leaves little room for personal expression. Does this sound similar to the struggles that we face as Christians at the point of conversion?
Matthew 16:24 makes it clear to us that the Christian life is one of denying ourselves and giving up whatever is necessary in order to follow Jesus. There is no aspect of our lives that is off-limits to Jesus.
For example, denying ourselves might mean refusing to compromise on our values in the workplace, even at the cost of a promotion. It could mean risking ridicule and being ostracized by our friends when we share about the Gospel. It may even require us to finally pay for a Netflix subscription instead of illegally downloading that movie.
The decision to follow Jesus is not one that we’re meant to take lightly, and Jesus urges us to count the cost. We’re meant to consider what we’re leaving behind. But hopefully it’s in counting the cost that we realize just how much we have to gain from adoption into God’s family.
The Parables of the Hidden Treasure and Pearl (Matthew 13:44-45) give us a reminder of the accounting to be had:
The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field. When a man found it, he hid it again, and then in his joy went and sold all he had and bought that field. Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant looking for fine pearls. When he found one of great value, he went away and sold everything he had and bought it.
These two parables cast our “sacrifices” into perspective. While most people might look at the Christian life and see only what we have to give up, the parables remind us that we’re called to look at what we’ve gained instead. When we do so, we will then understand the true value of what we’re entering into and find the same joy that the man in the Parable of the Hidden Treasure had. That’s when we’ll see that it truly is worthwhile to sell everything for the treasure of being a child of God.
After all, being a Christian means we are brought into an intimate and loving relationship with the God of the universe. While we were previously seen as “God’s enemies” (Romans 5:10), we can now come to Him in prayer as His children, having full confidence that our heavenly Father hears us. What’s more, we also have the certainty of our resurrection and a place in the new heaven and earth, where the troubles of this life will cease. The magnitude of this can’t be overstated.
Similarly, it is Markle’s perspective of what she’s entering into that enables her to joyfully trade her former life for this new one. In a BBC interview the couple gave after announcing their engagement, Markle batted away suggestions that she was sacrificing her career for her marriage. Instead she viewed it as a change, and a new chapter. For Markle, being able to spend the rest of her life with Prince Harry is an exciting prospect, worth all that she’s given up.
May we also see that what we’ve lost in denying ourselves and following Jesus is made worthwhile because of everything we’ll gain from being in God’s family.
