He won the preliminary competition with the highest marks ever recorded in the newcomers section. Following his win, Bocelli released his debut album of the same name in April, and it entered the Italian Top Ten, being certified platinum within weeks.

Birch was influenced both by secular music (her father was a preacher) and her adolescence in Portland, Oregon where Birch connected mostly with the goth and punk street kids. The combination of both influences is what led to her being such a unique artist.

Nomi Abadi is a virtuoso pianist, singer, composer, activist, and inventor of the NORY® double keytar. A piano prodigy, she started piano lessons at age three, began composing music at four years old, and made her orchestral debut with the Orange County County Chamber Orchestra at age five playing a Mozart Concerto. She has toured and performed as a solo artist and guest pianist with various orchestras worldwide, most notably as the pianist of String Theory, earning the group a Grammy nomination in 2020 with their album, “Sekou Andrew and the String Theory”. Nomi has completed national and international world tours, most notably in Budapest, Prague, and Angola.
An American-born Jewish Syrian-Egyptian, Nomi was born into four generations of piano teachers. Her grandmother was Tom Waits’s piano teacher, and taught Nomi’s father, a classical and ragtime pianist. Nomi received her piano training from her mother and father, and at age eight, moved to New York to attend The New School (formerly the Mannes School of Music), becoming one of their youngest students ever. She discovered a passion for acting as a child, attended the American Academy of Dramatic Arts, and studied in master classes throughout Los Angeles such as Berg Studios with Gregory Berger-Sobek, the private coach of Lupita Nyong’o and former Yale School of Drama faculty. Nomi has acted in stage productions and indie films, and appeared in Proximity (Apple TV) and in Oz, the Great and Powerful.
As a singer, Nomi has collaborated with composers and songwriters like Keir Schmidt (Son Lux, Kimbra) and Roger Neill (King of the Hill), and as the singer of Australian composer Jacquie Joy’s EDM track, “You’ll Feel Nothing”. Through composing, Nomi has earned over twenty film and video games credits, scoring for indie films and brands such as Apple, BOSE, Cartoon Network and NASA. She won the Outstanding Achievement Award in the Independent Shorts Fest for her score for “The Unnatural Order” in 2022 and will make her concert music debut with her Quartet for NORY® in E Minor in summer 2023 at the Puerto Rico Game Sound Convention.
In 2020, Nomi founded the Female Composer Safety League, a 501(c)(3) whose mission focuses on the safety and empowerment of women composers. She was the first person to testify in front of the Judiciary Committee in Sacramento in support of AB-2777, a California legislation in progress which calls for the removal of the statue to limitations of sexual assault.
After NORY®’s patent was granted in 2018, the double keytar garnered the attention of keyboardists across the music industry. NORY® was a finalist in the Georgia Tech’s Guthman Musical Instrument Competition in 2020, making its TV debut on the Emmy-nominated show, “The Afterparty”, in 2022. Nomi is one of the only known solo women in the world to hold a keyboard instrument patent.
Along with composing, piano, singing, acting and activism, Nomi also wrote, directed, scored, produced and starred in “Roadkill”, a short film, earning her the Best Dark Comedy and Best Acting Duo awards at the Independent Shorts Festival in 2021.


In one of the grimmest moments of an already harrowing life, Richard Pryor almost burned to death in 1980.
“When that fire hit your ass, it will sober your ass up quick! I saw something, I went, ‘Well, that’s a pretty blue. You know what? That looks like fire!’ Fire is inspirational. They should use it in the Olympics, because I ran the 100 in 4.3.”
The incident, originally downplayed as a mishap while freebasing cocaine, was actually an impromptu suicide attempt. Pryor finally acknowledged this fact in his book Pryor Confessions and Other Life Sentences. After an intense cocaine binge, the comedian sought relief by dousing himself with high-proof booze, setting himself ablaze and racing down the street in a panic. It was a far cry from a volatile reaction to cookies and milk that he cited in skits.
Like many comics, Pryor took his pain and made it funny. He was raised in his grandmother’s Peoria, Ill. whorehouse. He recounted tales of men coming to the door seeking blow jobs from his mother. That’s how he first met white people. They seemed nice, but also opened his eyes to hypocrisy within racial and economic divides. His mimicry of “The White Man” became a fixture of his routine, and entertained even the object of his ribbing.
Pryor began his career imitating Bill Cosby and transformed into a genuine legend. His influence is obvious in comics such as Eddie Murphy, Chris Rock and Dave Chappelle, but Robin Williams and even David Letterman admit they are indebted to one of the greatest comedians of all time. He has been called the Muhammad Ali of comedy, the Miles Davis of comedy, even The Beatles of comedy.
Frank sexuality played a major role in Pryor’s act, but he rarely demeaned women. He spoke lovingly of “pussy.” He married seven times to five women. “I believe in the institution of marriage, and I intend to keep trying till I get it right,” he said.
Eclipsing his talk of sex was Pryor’s social commentary. Years before the Rodney King beating and the anti-LAPD rants of rappers N.W.A., Pryor addressed the prejudices of law enforcement. In a 1978 vodka-fueled rage, he pumped rounds from a .357 Magnum into his then-wife’s car. “When the police came, I went in the house,” he said, “They got Magnums too and they don’t shoot cars—they shoot nig-gars.”
Pryor’s act would often teeter between the tragic and the comic. He wrapped up 1971’s “Live and Smoking” by portraying a heroin addict shooting up and nodding out, his dialogue mainly reduced to, “Oh shit.” It drew laughs and poignancy, and exposed members of the audience to a sordid world of which they were ignorant. Astute observations of Peoria’s drunks, bums and junkies later became mainstays of his stand-up act, culminating in his wino philosopher persona Hambone.
Pryor’s career was punctuated by the chaos of drug and alcohol abuse. By the late ’60s he was already doing hundreds of dollars of cocaine a day. His chaotic nature likely cost him the lead role in the comedy satire “Blazing Saddles,” which he co-wrote with Mel Brooks. He still managed to win the American Writers Guild Award and the American Academy of Humor Award in 1974 for his efforts. His handiwork is obvious in some of the film’s racially charged humor, as a black sheriff enters an all-too-authentic racist Old West. (“Excuse me while I whip this out,” Cleavon Little, who played Pryor’s part, says as he takes a notice out of his pants.)
Expletives always filled Pryor’s stand-up routines, especially rapid-fire nigga and niggas. This changed after a 1980 trip to Zimbabwe. “There are no niggers here,” he wrote. “The people here, they still have their self-respect, their pride.” The trip changed his life. “I know how white people feel in America—relaxed. When you hear a police car you know it ain’t coming after your ass.”
Refraining from the N-word drew jeers and derision from some fans, as did his attempts at sobriety. In concert, he would announce how many months he had spent drug-and-alcohol free and hecklers peppered the applause. He was a victim of his ’70s persona—a persona solidified by one of his most extraordinary filmed performances, 1979’s “Richard Pryor - Live in Concert.”
In the 1980s, Pryor became the highest-paid black performer when he earned $4 million for his role in “Superman III”—more than the lead actor Christopher Reeve. Pryor made a series of mediocre and often insipid films with the main highlights coming when he paired with Gene Wilder in movies such as “Stir Crazy” and “Silver Streak.”
In 1986, Pryor was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, a degenerative disease of the central nervous system. “Is there a doctor in the house?” he asked at one performance. An audience member reluctantly raised a hand. “What the fuck is MS?”
As Pryor’s physical condition deteriorated, his performances became a rarity. He was soon resigned to a motorized scooter, but remained vocal in causes such as his fight for animal rights.
In June 2001, Richard remarried Jennifer Lee, his business-savvy seventh wife. One can only guess a film of his life is already in the works.
Richard Pryor died of heart failure on Dec. 10, 2005 and was laid to rest at Forest Lawn Memorial in Glendale, Calif. on Dec. 19, 2005.

If having everyone in your family have their names spelled with "K" creating aberrations such as Kourtney and Khloe (which Squarespace is showing me with a red underline: meaning fix this), why not one up each other with the fancy, athlete husbands and the butt focus? Khloe has always been the most zaftig in the Kardashian crew so having her curves rounded out and sculpted by a surgeon is not totally out of the realm of possibilities, but now that there is competition....look out. The Hollywood Scoop acknowledges that Khloe wants to be the winner in this arena. TMZ gracefully acknowleges this competition: "Khloe Kardashian has entered the ring, and has challenged her sister by squeezing herself into these fight black jeans, and showing that Kim’s not the only one with some cake back there." And so it goes....picture against picture, sister against sister...when will it end? Ms. Khloe is really working the fashion by wearing horizontal stripes to define her odd proportions, and the world has taken note! Plus, there are videos of Khloe twerking. I guess this shape is there just to twerk...other than having a bigger tuffet to sit on to eat your curds and whey. "To each his own", said the old woman as she kissed the cow. My sentiments exactly.


Throughout his life, Nolan's mantra was "accept me for what I am and I'll accept you for what you're accepted as." When a Hollywood producer asked to make a movie of his life, Nolan declined his offer. "I want to highlight the creativity within the brain of a cripple," he told the producer, "and while not attempting to hide the crippledom I want instead to filter all sob-storied sentiment from his portrait and dwell upon his life, his laughter, his vision, and his nervous normality. Can we ever see eye-to-eye on that schemed scenario?"

Just a couple of decades ago, many people viewed cannabis as nothing more than a gateway drug — a substance exclusively used by stoners and a subject of scorn for anyone that doesn't consume it. Over the years, numerous medical studies on the benefits of cannabis and increased support for legalizing the substance have led to people advocating the use of this herb. Some of these people are well-known celebrities and their vocal support for cannabis use has played a big role in increasing the public's awareness of the benefits of using the substance.

6 Trees, Flowers, or Condolences have been shared with support of Selwyn's family - View on Tribute Wall
Selwyn Miller, a legendary music manager and promoter, passed away on October 10, 2023, in New Orleans, Louisiana at the age of 78. Born in Cape Town, South Africa, on March 19, 1945 to the Late Barney and Rose Miller, his life was defined by a deep love for music of artists like Little Richard, Fats Domino, and Elvis Presley. This passion led him to pursue a full-time career in the music industry, leading him to a remarkable six-decade career.
Miller's journey began with humble beginnings working in recording studios and managing the British group Gary Farr and the T-Bones. He embarked on a transformative "$99 for 99 Days" Greyhound bus tour of the United States, where he solidified his dedication to music by witnessing performances by iconic artists like Stevie Wonder, the Temptations, B. B. King, Ike and Tina Turner, the Impressions, Johnny Nash, Otis Redding, Joe Tex, and Ray Charles.
Returning to Cape Town in the late 1960s, Selwyn Miller rose to prominence as an artist agent and manager, bringing American R&B and rock acts to South Africa. Notably, he organized South Africa's first multi-racial pop festival in 1972.
In 1980, Miller relocated to Australia, where he continued to shine as a prominent promoter and manager, working with artists like Suzi Quatro and George Thorogood.
Miller's lifelong dream brought him to the United States (the birthplace of the music he cherished) in 1985, where he managed renowned artists and even reunited the original members of the group Bread for a successful world tour. Some of his other notable accomplishments during this period included acting as United States representative for Petula Clark and manager for Percy Sledge and Little Anthony and the Imperials. Despite retiring in 2013, his unwavering passion for music led him to continue putting together concert series and staying engaged in the industry.
Selwyn Miller's impact on the music world, his dedication to his craft, and his legacy as a manager and promoter will endure in the hearts of those who knew and worked with him. He enjoyed cruising on the open seas, spending time with family and friends, and frequently went out to listen and support local musicians in New Orleans. He will be dearly missed by the global music community, friends, and family.


Tina Turner, the incomparable Queen of Rock, passed away at the age of 83 in her home in Kusnacht, Switzerland, near Zurich. The legendary singer, renowned for her earthshaking vocals, sexual magnetism, and explosive energy, leaves behind a legacy that has forever shaped the music industry. This article chronicles her illustrious career, delves into the influence of Buddhism in her life, and pays tribute to the icon who inspired millions.
The Queen of Rock • Tina Turner’s Life and Times
Early Life and Career: The Birth of a Star
Tina Turner’s journey began in the late 1950s when she started singing with Ike Turner and his band, the Kings of Rhythm, while still attending high school. At first, she was only an occasional performer, but her potent, bluesy voice and frenetic dancing style quickly made her the group’s star attraction – and eventually, Ike Turner’s wife.
The ensemble soon rebranded as the Ike and Tina Turner Revue and became one of the premier touring soul acts in Black venues on the so-called chitlin’ circuit. After the Rolling Stones invited the group to open for them on tours in both the United Kingdom and the United States, white listeners in both countries began paying attention to Tina Turner’s undeniable talent.
Rise to Fame: Breaking Barriers and Setting Records
Tina Turner’s rise to fame was meteoric, with her unique and powerful voice captivating audiences around the world. Her unmatched stage presence and electrifying performances cemented her place in the annals of music history as one of the most successful recording artists of all time.
Throughout her career, Turner broke barriers and set records that have yet to be surpassed. She released numerous chart-topping hits, earned countless awards, and was inducted into both the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and the Grammy Hall of Fame.
Personal Struggles: Overcoming Adversity
Despite her immense success, Tina Turner’s personal life was fraught with adversity. Her tumultuous marriage to Ike Turner was marked by domestic abuse, and their eventual divorce left her in financial ruin. While Turner’s resilience and determination enabled her to rebuild her life and career, it was her introduction to Buddhism that would ultimately provide her with the spiritual tools to find peace and happiness.
The Impact of Buddhism: A Path to Healing and Transformation
Tina Turner’s introduction to Buddhism came during a particularly challenging period in her life. As she struggled to navigate her personal issues, Turner discovered Nichiren Buddhism, a sect that focuses on the chanting of the Lotus Sutra as a means to tap into one’s inner strength and wisdom.
Turner began practicing Buddhism in 1973, and the practice quickly became an integral part of her life. She credited her newfound faith with providing her with the strength and courage to leave Ike Turner, rebuild her life, and ultimately achieve even greater success in her career.
The Buddhist Philosophy: Tina Turner’s Guiding Principles
Nichiren Buddhism’s core teachings emphasize the importance of self-reflection, compassion, and the interconnectedness of all living beings. These principles resonated with Tina Turner, who found solace and empowerment in the practice as she navigated the trials and tribulations of her life.
Through daily chanting and meditation, Turner cultivated a sense of inner peace and balance that she carried with her throughout her career and personal life. Her Buddhist practice also instilled in her a deep sense of gratitude, which she frequently expressed in interviews and public appearances.
Tina Turner’s Spiritual Journey: Sharing Her Wisdom
As Tina Turner’s faith in Buddhism continued to deepen, she felt compelled to share her experiences and the transformative impact of her practice with others. In 1996, she released a spoken word album titled “Tina Turner: The Collected Recordings – Sixties to Nineties,” which featured her reciting Buddhist scriptures set to music.
Additionally, Turner co-authored a book with two fellow practitioners, entitled “Happiness Becomes You: A Guide to Changing Your Life for Good,” in which she shares her personal journey and offers readers practical advice on incorporating Buddhist principles into their own lives.
The Legacy of Tina Turner: A Life of Triumph and Inspiration
Tina Turner’s passing marks the end of an era, but her legacy continues to inspire generations to come. Her incredible career of groundbreaking achievements and record-setting accomplishments, is a testament to her unwavering determination and talent.
Turner’s spiritual journey and embrace of Buddhism serve as a powerful reminder of the transformative power of faith and the resilience of the human spirit. Her life’s story is one of triumph over adversity, and her enduring impact on the world of music and beyond is as legendary as the Pharaoh Cleopatra.
The World Mourns: Remembering the Queen of Rock
As news of Tina Turner’s passing spread, tributes are pouring in from fans and fellow musicians alike. Her incomparable talent, charisma, and influence are evident. At the same time, her contributions to the world of music is cause for both mourning and a celebration of life by countless admirers worldwide.
Turner’s life and career serve as a powerful example of the potential for personal growth, transformation, and success that exists within all of us. Through her unwavering spirit and commitment to her Buddhist practice, she leaves a path to continue to inspire others for thousands of years.
Honoring the Queen of Rock
Tina Turner, the Queen of Rock, may have left this world, but her spirit and legacy will live on. Through her incredible career, her impactful spiritual journey, and the lives she touched, she leaves behind an indelible mark on the world.
Let us honor and celebrate the life of this extraordinary woman by remembering her resilience, her talent, and her unwavering faith in the transformative power of Buddhism. Rest in peace, Tina Turner – your spirit will continue to inspire and uplift us all.

It was at Trinity, that he made his opera debut in the world staged premiere of Goldschmidt’s 5Beatrice Cenci’. As the ‘lead tenor’ role of Orsino, he received much critical acclaim in the national press. His success continued with his second Opera, Poulenc’s ‘Dialogue of the Carmelites’.

Richard Morgan Fliehr, better known by his ring name, Ric Flair, is a retired American professional wrestler. Also known as “The Nature Boy,” Flair is among the most well known wrestlers in the world, has been one of wrestling’s biggest stars since the late 1970s and is considered by many as the greatest wrestler of the modern era of professional wrestling. Flair is recognized by World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) and Pro Wrestling Illustrated (PWI) as a 16-time World Heavyweight Champion, although his actual tally of world championship reigns varies by source. In World Championship Wrestling (WCW), he also had two stints as a booker from 1989-1990 and again in 1994.
On the March 31 edition of WWE Raw, Flair delivered his farewell address. Afterwards, Triple H brought out many current and retired superstars to thank Flair for all he has done, including Shawn Michaels, some of the Four Horsemen and even The Undertaker, followed by Vince McMahon, chairman of the World Wrestling Entertainment Board of Directors. This event represented a rare moment in the WWE as both the ‘good guys’ and the ‘bad guys’ broke character and came out to the ring together.
Flair was often “over” with the crowd due to his in-ring antics, including rulebreaking (earning him the distinction of being “the dirtiest player in the game”), strutting and his shouting of
“Woooooo!” Flair released his autobiography, To Be the Man, in July 2004. The title is taken from one of his catchphrases,
“To be the man, you gotta beat the man!”
On the February 18, 2008 edition of Raw, Shawn Michaels announced Flair as the first inductee into the WWE Hall of Fame Class of 2008. The induction ceremony took place on March 29, 2008, with Triple H inducting him. This made him the first and only person to be inducted while still an active competitor as of 2008. On March 24, 2008, Mayor Bob Coble, of Columbia, South Carolina, declared March 24 to be Ric Flair Day in Columbia. Flair also received the key to the city. Seven days later on the March 31 edition of Raw, Flair made his farewell speech, which led to Triple H introducing various people from Ric Flair’s past, such as The Four Horsemen, Ricky Steamboat, and others who came out to give an emotional farewell. Afterwards, the entire WWE roster came out to say thank you to Flair. On June 7, it was announced that Ric Flair will be inducted into the NWA Hall of Fame in Atlanta, Georgia, his second straight Hall of Fame induction in four months.


“The theme of my Quarterly mailings is curiosity. I think it’s important to live each day like a student.”
Pharrell Williams is a creative force, using music, fashion, and design to express his distinctive style. From his beginnings as a teenage prodigy and multi-instrumentalist in early-’90s Virginia Beach, to being named Billboard’s Producer of the Decade in 2010, Williams has never stopped creating.
As one half of The Neptunes (with Chad Hugo), Williams helped create such classics as Nelly’s “Hot in Herre,” Jay-Z’s “I Just Wanna Love U (Give it 2 Me),” Britney Spears’ “I’m A Slave 4 U,” Justin Timberlake’s “Like I Love You,” and Snoop Dogg’s “Beautiful.” Williams, Hugo and Shay Haley also recorded four albums as N.E.R.D., creating an unpredictable alt-rock/hip-hop hybrid.

In the days leading up to the release of “Pink Friday 2,” Nicki Minaj’s fifth studio album and sequel to her debut record “Pink Friday” that dropped on Friday, Twitter was flooded with AI-generated images of pink-toned cityscapes.
Gag City, the dreamy false utopia ruled by Minaj and her Barbz, broke through stan Twitter and became a viral meme that brand accounts immediately used for their own marketing — promoting Minaj’s album for free.
Is it an authentic stan-led campaign to build hype for Minaj? Is it a plant to game engagement for both the album and brands? What’s clear is that the viral moment is a win for Minaj, manufactured or not.


5.Black Givenchy dress of Audrey Hepburn
In 1961, Givenchy designed a little black dress for the opening scene of Blake Edwards’ romantic comedy, Breakfast at Tiffany’s, where Hepburn plays the leading role alongside actor George Peppard. Her necklace was made by Roger Scemama, a French parurier who designed jewelry for Givenchy. Audrey took two copies of the dress back to Paramount, but the dresses, which revealed a considerable amount of Audrey’s leg, were not suitable for the movie and the lower half of the dress was redesigned by Edith Head. The original hand-stitched dress is currently in Givenchy’s private archive, whilst one copy Audrey took back to Paramount is on display at The Museum of Film in Madrid and another was auctioned at Christie’s in December 2006. None of the actual dresses created by Givenchy, were used in either the movie or the promotional photography. The movie poster was designed by artist Robert McGinnis, and in Sam Wasson’s book, Fifth Avenue, 5am, he explains that the photos on which he based the poster did not show any leg and that he had added the leg to make the poster more appealing. The actual dresses used in the movie, created by Edith Head, were destroyed by Head and Hepburn at Western Costume in California after shooting.The dress is cited as one of the most iconic items of clothing in the history of the twentieth century and perhaps the most famous “little black dress” of all time.
4.The Dorothy’s Gingham Dress From The Oz
Here is another dress as iconic as the movie. Dorothy’s blue gingham dress in The Wizard of Oz is one of the most popular costume designs of all time. The child star Judy Garland had to rehearse in several different dresses, so the producers could decide which will characterize the best her part in the 1939’s classic, The Wizard of Oz. The iconic gingham dress is set to sell for £180,000.
3.Black dress of Rita Hayworth
In the 1946 film Gilda, Rita Hayworth wore a black dress made by American costume designer Jean Louis. It was used in one of the most famous scenes of the film: one in which the character of Gilda sings the song “Put the Blame on Mame”, improvising a quick striptease, choreographed by Jack Cole. The dress has helped consolidate the image of the femme fatale, as well as being universally recognized as an icon of fashion and cinema.The Independent named it as one of the Ten Best Fashion Moments in Film.To create clothes for Gilda, Jean-Louis was inspired by Portrait of Madame X, the famous socialite in Paris. According to Life magazine, the wardrobe designed by Jean Louis for Rita Hayworth had a value of about $60,000, a large figure for the time. The dress was said to illustrate that “extreme sexuality” in women, hot or cold, is a recipe for catastrophe.
2. Scarlet O’Hara Green Curtain Dress
The Scarlet O’Hara’s Emerald Green Gown that she made out of curtains in her family’s plantation house, which she wore to seduce Rhett Butler was the centerpiece dress in the movie. The curtain dress was originally designed by Walter Plunkett and it was sold just recently at an auction in Beverly Hills for $137,000. As Scarlet O’Hara would reply “Great Balls of Fire.”
1.White dress of Marilyn Monroe
Marilyn Monroe wore a white dress in the 1955 film The Seven Year Itch, directed by Billy Wilder. The dress was created by costume designer William Travilla and was worn in one of the best-known scenes in the movie. The dress is regarded as an icon of film history and the image of Monroe in the white dress standing above a subway grating blowing the dress up, has been described as one of the iconic images of the 20th century.


Everybody knows Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, the most famous composer in the world. But do you also know his sister? Let me introduce you to the musical genius Nannerl Mozart.
Actually, her name was Maria Anna Mozart, Nannerl was her nickname, and she was five years older than her famous little brother. When she was seven years old, she already played piano perfectly and that inspired young Wolfgang Amadeus to study music, like his sister did. So, when Wolfgang turned four, their father decided to instruct both his children and promote them as child prodigies.
The Mozart siblings toured across Europe to present their musical talent at royal courts. Organized by their father, they gave concerts at the court in Vienna, Munich, Paris, London, The Hague, Amsterdam, and Zurich, just to name a few of their stops.
Nannerl was Wolfgang’s first idol, and he would praise her musical talent in his letters. He even composed several works for his sister to perform. The siblings were so close, they even developed their own secret language and from time-to-time Wolfgang Amadeus even wrote entries in Nannerl’s diary, pretending to be her.
When life was unfair
But how come, so many people never heard of Nannerl? Well, gender equality was not a thing in the 18th century. And sadly, Nannerl Mozart’s is the story of one of the many overlooked women in history.
See, when Nannerl was in a marriageable age, which was 16, she wasn’t permitted anymore to show her musical talent in front of an audience, because society would not see it fit for a young lady to perform concerts. So, Wolfgang moved on and became the most famous and the best-known composer of all time, while Nannerl had to stay home.
Her father’s interventions
If this seems unfair already, I must warn you: This story will get worse! Some years after her career came to an end, Nannerl fell in love. And the gentleman, a young captain and private tutor, fell in love with her too. He proposed to her and everything could have been perfect. But father Leopold Mozart would have none of this. He forced his daughter to turn down the marriage proposal and the man she loved.
Instead, she had to marry someone else. Only to fulfil her father’s wish, Nannerl married a man who was twice widowed. Her new husband had five children from his two previous marriages and Nannerl, as their new stepmother, had to raise them and take care of the household. And although she did not marry out of love, Nannerl and her husband had three children of their own.
But again, her father intervened. Nannerl’s oldest son was born in Salzburg and named after his grandfather: Leopold. When it was time to return to her hometown St.Gilgen, her father insisted to take care of Baby Leopold himself. So, Nannerl was sent home without her newborn son.
There are many theories why Leopold senior wanted to take care of the baby. One of them concludes that he wanted to train a new musical talent, like he did with Nannerl and Wolfgang Amadeus. As a result, Nannerl saw her first born on some occasions, but could only take him home with her, when her father died in 1787.
Four years after that, Nannerl received a dreadful message. Her beloved brother Wolfgang Amadeus had passed away in Vienna. Constanze, her brother’s widow, and her new husband moved to Salzburg. They wanted to write a biography of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.
And Nannerl did not hesitate to offer them help. She gave them all the letters of Wolfgang, addressed to their father and to herself. There were around 400 family letters, revealing loads of Wolfgang’s personal life. Thanks to Nannerl, her brother’s widow and her new husband were among the first to publish a biography of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.
As for Nannerl herself, she worked as a musical teacher after her husband passed away. Her health slowly declined and eventually she became blind. In 1829 she passed away, silently, lonely, and unheard of.
Nannerl Mozart may not be as famous as her brother but she contributed a great deal to Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s career. Without her, her little brother might not even have been interested in music. And even after his death, she continued to help and uphold his legacy.

These days Kate Moss is more famous for her collaboration with Topshop than she is for being a supermodel but back in her days of strutting on the catwalk she was more commonly known for her wafish figure and her uncommonly short height for a fashion model. I for one am pleased she made it big into the fashion industry as she is only 2 inches taller than me and this makes me a feel a great deal better about my height. It's not something that bothers me much, mainly so when I'm standing next to my sister who in comparison to myself is only half an inch shorter than Kate Moss (she towers me and makes me feel tiny). I have realised today that every cloud really does have a silver lining.
A few days ago I purchased a dress from Jack Wills, at first glance I thought it was a little too short however, I realised with time that this was a mere illusion created by the design of the dress. My sister purchased a similar one and we both modelled our new purchases that evening. We found that my new dress, although shorter than the dress she purchased, came down a respectable length, showing the perfect amount of leg! On my sister however, it was too short, showing off too much leg and she couldn't really lean over without showing off her pair of sloggs (that's pants in her language). Ooooops!

For many decades it has been famous fashion houses who were the world’s trendsetters, but today this role belongs to the most popular people of the world: celebrities, top bloggers, and IT-girls. For example, Kate Moss showed that you can wear a black dress over a white T-shirt, and Bella Hadid returned the fashion for bangs.
The influencers' power has spread not only to the clothes, but also to trends in jewelry. What do the stars complement their outfits with?
Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, likes to complement her looks with several hoop bracelets in a modern design, which perfectly fits into her "modern classic" style. Try to add a pair of minimalistic bracelets in different shades of metal to your outfit and see how your image sparkles with new colors and instantly become more elevated and high-profile.
This renowned singer's style can be described as bright, sexy and attractive. Jennifer Lopez is not afraid of accenting her look at the same remaining true to her favorite accessory — voluminous hoops. She wore them at the beginning of her career and still prefers them to this day. If you do not risk wearing earrings too large in diameter, try putting on small hoops that will blend seamlessly into everyday looks
Ariana Grande is one of the most popular singers today; millions of fans around the world want to steal her look. Ariana is not afraid of wearing ultra-high boots, crop tops and mini skirts, complementing such an eccentric outfit with equally remarkable jewelry. Quite often, she can be seen wearing choker necklaces of various designs. If you have not tried to combine this accessory with your favorite clothes, summer is the perfect time to venture to try something new. A long sundress, a voluminous denim jacket or a cropped top will look much more interesting when combined with a choker.
When it comes to fashion, Gigi Hadid is a true rebel. One of the most successful and popular models of our time managed to mix a cocktail of different styles: she gets her inspiration from boho style, grunge and sports chic, and she is not afraid of total denim looks. Gigi likes to wear several thin rings on one hand at once: such sets have been one of the main jewelry trends for many seasons.
The famous model, who has recently become the wife of Vincent Cassel, is an ambassador of the French brands Dior, Balmain and Louis Vuitton and is one of the most welcome guests at fashion weeks. Tina likes to combine extravagant prints with calm, minimalistic wardrobe items. She can often be seen wearing large earrings, which do a good job emphasizing her exotic beauty. These earrings will look great on girls with a bright contrasting complexion and expressive facial features.

Paul and Lippert: How to do a better job of selling Paul’s music
Paul and the team of Paul McCartney, George Harrison, Ringo Starr, and John Lennon all have a different take on how to do music.
But the music business is a very different business from any other, so it makes sense for Paul to do what he does best: make it as easy as possible for people to buy his music and get it in their ears.
The result is a collection of tracks that range from the epic, to the intimate, to everything in between.
We’ve spent the past few months talking to Paul and his team about how to make music that people can love.
Paul McCartney/Getty ImagesThe Beatles: “I Know You Rider” “I know you Rider” Paul McCartney is one of the biggest musical icons in history.
His iconic voice has influenced generations of artists, from Frank Sinatra to Madonna.
His voice was the inspiration behind “I’ve Got a Feeling” and “Let’s Get Lost.”
The Beatles’ hit song, “I Want to Hold Your Hand,” is a classic.
The song is so famous, in fact, that a remake was even planned.
It never happened.
Paul McCartney/Associated PressGeorge Harrison: “Yesterday” “Yesterday,” from “Let It Be,” is one the most iconic songs of all time.
Harrison recorded it during his time in the Army and in a hospital.
The cover is a huge visual representation of the Army.
Harrison was an avid Beatles fan, so the song is a perfect way to honor his service.
Paul Simon: “Happiness” “Happily Ever After” was the first Beatles song.
McCartney and Lennon recorded it in 1972.
McCartney later said he wanted to use the song to show the world how happy they were.
The band even recorded an acoustic version of it, but the version was never released.
John Lennon: “She Loves You” “She loves you,” Lennon wrote.
Lennon and McCartney recorded it while they were both serving in the U.S. Army in 1966.
The tune is the first song the Beatles recorded that is a duet.
It is also a great tribute to the late singer-songwriter, who died on July 6, 2015.
The Beatles’ most famous song, and McCartney’s favorite, is “Yesterday.”
Paul Simon/Associated ImagesJohn Lennon’s song “Yesterday and Today” was recorded as part of the Abbey Road sessions that brought the Beatles to the big time.
McCartney also recorded it as part the Sgt. Pepper sessions in 1970.
The two songs have since become staples in the Beatles’ catalog.
Paul Simon/Getty Getty ImagesPaul McCartney: “Tomorrow Never Knows” “Tomorrow never knows,” McCartney said.
McCartney’s original lyrics were about the way people can never know the joy of something that happened in their life.
He has written many songs about life’s ups and downs.
The songs are meant to be relatable.
Paul Lennon/Associated PRESSPaul McCartney and George Harrison: The Beatles “Yesterday, Today, and Forever” “It’s a pleasure to sing ‘Yesterday, today, and forever,’ Paul said in 2005.
The Beatles recorded the song at Abbey Road Studios in 1965.
Paul also recorded the original lyrics for it.
Paul wrote the melody for it, while George wrote the chords.
John Lennon: The Lennon Family Album “Tomorrow’s the day I die,” Lennon said.
Lennon’s version of the song became a classic among rock fans, with many versions featuring the lyrics, including one with an alternative ending.
The lyrics of “Tomorrow” are the first lyrics Paul wrote after he and McCartney left the Army in 1971.
The lyrics are also the ones that Paul used in his solo career, with Paul playing drums in his band, Paul McCartney & The Animals.
The song was written when McCartney was in his early 20s, and was inspired by his wife, Gilda Radner, who was in her 30s when she recorded it.
The couple married in 1969 and had a daughter together.
In 2015, the Beatles released the “Tomorrownever knows” version of “Yesterday & Today” that is also featured in their live shows.
Paul and Lennon wrote the song together in 1972, and it was recorded during the Abbey Rd. sessions.
McCartney is the one who recorded it and Lennon was the one to record it.
John Paul/Getty PhotosThe Beatles are known for their songs.
Here are some of the most memorable:Paul McCartney’s “Yesterday And Today” Lennon’s “Tomorrow and Today”‘Paul McCartney” George Harrison’s “Holidays” “You’re Gonna Find Me” (in which McCartney sings the lines)Paul Simon’s “Live at the Roxy”John Lennon Lennon’s”Yesterday” (recorded in 1966)Paul McCartney:”Yesterday”John and George recorded it at Abbey Rd Studios in 1966.(Photo credit: Paul Simon)The Beatles have also been known to use some of their songs as cover versions for movies.
For example, they recorded “Yesterday Again


Her name is Elissa, a very famous singer from Lebanon. People started to know her when she appeared on a duet with super star Lebanese singer, Ragheb Alama, in 2000 – according to Elissa, she was already reached fame before appearing on that white linen video clip. She made 6 albums, appeared in different advertisements and commercials, such as for Pepsi a couple of times, and for a jewelry business. In addition, she held a performance at the pyramids of Egypt as the opening act for British superstar Sting. She was also the only Arabic artist to perform in front of the former U.S President Bill Clinton at the Stars Charity show in Dubai, where among other guests present were Queen Rania of Jordan and the Crown Prince of Dubai, Cheikh Mohamed Bin Rachid al Maktoum. Her stardom reached to another level at the end of 2002 when she inaugurated the opening of Kuwait's Virgin Megastore with Sir Richard Branson, the founder of the famous stores. Finally, the success of Elissa has been included in the book '100 Pioneers of Lebanon' alongside Lebanese music legends such as Fairouz and Wadih el Safi, according to Wikipedia.
A couple of days ago MBC satellite channel broadcast showed a concert of Elissa from 2007, but before talking about that I want to give some background information on Arabic music nowadays: Most of, if not all Arab musicians/singers record their albums using digital (or virtual) instruments in addition to live musicians, and with the advanced technology of synthesizers they can make great quality mixed and produced albums. For that reason, to me, watching a live concert of any singer is like going through the ultimate test: either that singer proves to be good on stage and deserve the title of a super star; or to consider that singer pathetic, where he or she would have no option but to keep failing musically and on stage in front of their fans or those watching him on TV. Some of those horrible performers (shame to call them singers in the first place) create a sort of a status que to let the audience accept them with such failure. With a lot of money being poured on such people, by consider them some commercial product that would gain a lot of profit through their image rather than their musical quality, they would remain to be seen on TV talk shows, their songs would be played every single hour daily on Radio stations, and their photoshop-manipulated pictures would be on the covers of magazines for years to come. Elissa is one of those samples.
I watched Elissa live on TV a number of times before… two conclusions: First, Elissa does not know how to sing; second, Elissa does not have any presence on stage.
The concert I watched on MBC a couple of days ago did not make any change in opinion: As it is the case with most of her live concerts; Elissa came out from back stage wearing a long elegant party dress with an eye-popping cleavage (her ultimate weapon – well, maybe this time it was a bit bigger than previous times!) She walked with the same look on her face: absorbed, lost in some thoughts far away from time and place… or shall I better describe it as a look of a dump? She stopped in the middle of the stage, nervous, maybe worried? Suddenly, as if she remembered something and before it was too late she turned her head to the right to greet the maestro who was conducting the group of musicians playing her songs on each side of the stage. During the whole concert Elissa did not have any interaction with the public, except for a few cold smiles here and there. She was most generous with the bearded maestro where she exchanged smiles and gestures. Oh yes, to be entirely fair: she exchanged smiles with the chorus standing in the dark at one end of the stage.
On every intro of every song she bursts into a deafening “aaaaaahhhhh” with eyes closed and mouth wide open – is she trying to tune her voice with the music melody played in the background? Or is this became another dump habit of hers? It can happen once, twice, but not with every intro on every song she begins whining and moaning loud as if to give a fake impression of being deeply emotional when hearing that melody.
I don’t think that having the flu made me so agitated by Elissa’s voice that night, because all who were sitting in the same room with me were became extremely upset with such joke.
Truth hurts: Her face was not of a very happy person (or shall I say hidden rage) during an interview on MBC’s celebrity talk-show, Al Arrab (The Godfather) when asked by host, Neshan Der Haroutiounian, when he told her “According to critics, when someone listen to an album by Elissa, it is depicted as some gorgeous bride on her wedding day; all pretty with the most beautiful dress and everything, and people listen with joy to your voice … on stage it is another story… after some half an hour of singing live some critics put your voice in the category of those singing out of tone, and other critics refer this to some poor or limited ability to sing in the first place.” Elissa’s admitted that “in the past I used to sing because I like to sing, and I used to go out-of-tone… I do that because I couldn’t listen to my own voice when singing… and it is not only me, all singers do that” A super star, as she claims, the second richest female signer in the Arab world (from sales of her albums) is saying that she is still learning how to get over the fact that she is tone deaf?
A lot of critics I read on the Internet or while watching TV about the deteriorating status of Arabic music, compare to the old days when the focus on music as a prestigious art used to be the highest priority, rather than focusing on the boobs and curves of female singers. Again, don’t want to be misunderstood, there are good female singers around, take Yara, for example, I didn’t like her last album but still love to attend her concerts or watch her on TV, why? I watch her and enjoy her music, because I feel that Yara is righteous to her music, and to her fans, to say the least. If Elissa can read this post, maybe it is useful to take a look and learn from this guy, how to stay on the same melody without going out-of-tone.
I started this post mentioning Ragheb Alama, just for the information; there is a guitarist in his band, a big man with light beard and moustache playing a red and white Fender Stratocaster. That guitarist plays very good, my compliments goes to him. He used to be the guitarist in Elissa’s band some years ago, and I watched him beautifully playing Elissa’s songs in different live performance on TV. Speaking of TV, would like to thank MBC, because since the end of Ramadan and on every night the past week, this TV station gave me the opportunity to watch a number of concerts of different Arab singers and musicians. I liked the concert of Lebanese female singer, Nancy Ajram. I can’t say that I enjoyed it 100% because the overall sound of the band playing (except for Nancy’s microphone) was extremely low and too much echoed. I don’t know if the acoustics on that venue was the right place for music shows, or is it the fault of those filming the show: no experience on how to mix the sound well and bring it right for TV viewers! However, I am not a fan of Ajram, but her new band, led by the great Basim Rizq (this man is a genies) did a wonderful and enjoyable performance.
Back to Elissa, in 1992, Elissa was still seeking for fame, so she participated under the name “Allisar” in Studio Al Fan, a sort of Super Star broadcasted on Lebanese TV in the 1990s. Elissa was asked about the most important factors for a singer to be always remembered by his fans. Her answer was “first of all the voice; second is good presence when going live on stage; third is good performance; finally musical knowledge. “ This is very sad; because I don’t see any of the four apply to this singer in a way or another. My suggestion is to focus and stick to one sort of performance; she did that on the Mission Fasion 2007 show. Another suggestion: I beg you, Elissa, please don’t sing covers of old Arabic songs; you butchered the whole melody from start to end.

In the wake of Whitney Houston’s death, Sony Music has raised the prices of her albums in a move to capitalize on the sudden popularity of her music. Along with Michael Jackson’s death a few years ago, these were two artists helped to shape a decade with their talent, and like the cockroaches who attempted to capitalize on Jackson’s death a few years ago with “commemorative” goods, Sony has raised album prices to cash in on her untimely passing.
The death of anyone is a tragic loss. In the case of Whitney Houston, whose life has touched so many, it stands to say her loss is tragic to many. Like the death of a family member whose life can be remembered in photos and memories, Whitney’s life can be remembered by her fans in her music. For Sony to jack up prices in such an opportunistic grab is dirty by anyone, but is absolutely shameful by a multi-million dollar record label.
In commemoration of Sony’s dick move, I encourage everyone who is seeking the solace of her music to pirate it until Sony brings their prices back down.

Kearney. Wedding Dress. July 29th , 2017.
Miranda Lambert wedding dress was indeed her mother’s wedding dress, still it is quite weird because the multi millionaire country singer, Miranda Lambert was capable to buy the new wedding dress with many more gleaming and shimmering accessories on it, made by professional designer that all media can take photos of it.
On 14 May 2011, Miranda Lambert married to Blake Shelton, Miranda was 27 years old at that time and Blake was 34 years old. But, in that special day, Miranda did not wear the fabulous, expensive and pricey wedding dress that is designed by world class designer. She opted to wear her mother’s wedding dress that showed how sweet she was. Miranda Lambert wedding dress was worn by her mother 30 years earlier, so probably 1989 when her mother married to her father.
As many Miranda Lambert wedding dress photos on media, many people asked why she worn the old wedding dress instead of designing the new one. She has the real touching answer, especially when she was interviewed US Magazine US Weekly, she just wanted to keep the good luck charm, from how her parent has married for more about 33 years. Miranda Lambert wedding dress is indeed so meaningful and like a good luck charm and of course the personal wishes and hopes that her wedding will last forever.
Well, Miranda Lambert wedding dress is actually simple and chic. Especially Miranda Lambert short wedding dress that is wonderful, with the heart shape neck lines. She and her maid braids worn the high boots, cowboy boots exactly which really showed that she was born and bred, a southern girl. From Miranda wedding, you can tell how she appreciated the old meaningful items for her wedding, probably other celebrities and superstars can try to follow her step on using the old items as the good luck charms.

Corryong’s very own country music artist Fanny Lumsden and her band The Thrillseekers are certainly making a name for themselves nationally. Recently Lumsden was awarded the CMC New Australian Artist of the Year.
“This award is huge, because we are self-managed and we’ve done everything ourselves and to have the support of our peers and the fans out there who voted for us and everyone who’s been sharing this story,” Lumsden said.
“It’s fantastic, it’s a really big deal – it’s really exciting.”
The 29-year-old country girl, who boarded at Scots School in Albury, had previously been nominated for three Golden Guitars but was “thrilled” to take home the award.
“This award has really given us a boost both in the industry and the public eye,” she said.
“There are, of course, people who haven’t heard of us yet and we are putting out a new album this year so, hopefully, there will be a few more that catch on.”
Lumsden said her new album was expected to come out later in the year and that all her songs had been written and were in the process of being recorded.
“I have the songs ready to go and we’ve booked in a time to record them in the next few months, as we are looking to release the album later this year.
“The record is crowd-funded and is literally made possible through the support of the community and people getting behind us, so I can’t thank them all enough.”
Lumsden and her band will again be hitting the road pretty heavily this year as they head out on a tour of the country between March and June and perform at house concerts in-between. Later on in the year she will also be kicking off the Country Halls Tour, which will see her and her band travel through regional towns across the country.

Azusa has the perfect body of a pinup model, so it is no surprise that before she was an JAV starlet, she started as a pinup model. With a 23-inch waist and E-cup chest, this tall and youthful beauty would look as natural in a classroom as on a Paris catwalk.
Azusa started her career as a cover-girl on the popular manga magazine "Weekly Young Jump". She was awarded the title of "Miss School Girl Uniform", and the reasons why can be seen in her titles. Actually her slender stature is best seen out on bikinis or nothing at all. There is hardly an ounce of body fat on Azusa, making her one of the cutest new cock-puppets for you to enjoy.
"Showbiz Celebrity Doing Incontinence" is part of Azusa Itagaki's transition from magazine model to JAV star. From one to two to three partners, Azusa enters the live-action world in a storm of sexuality. But you might want to check out her debut, "Original Uniform Collection" first. This shows Azusa in a variety of outfits and with a cover of her looking a lot like Namie Amuro in her prime and just before her 19th birthday. In a surprising twist, Azusa switches gears in "Cumming 24 Hour Bukkake". In this vid she spends a full day in an apartment full of horny guys who take full advantage of Azusa's visit. Azusa needs to take several showers in this reality-type title.

Natalie Portman runaway bride in latest Miss Dior campaign

Director: Quentin Tarantino.
Screenplay: Quentin Tarantino.
Starring: Harvey Keitel, Michael Madsen, Steve Buscemi, Tim Roth, Chris Penn, Lawrence Tierney, Randy Brooks, Kirk Baltz, Eddie Bunker, Quentin Tarantino, Steven Wright.
“Somebody’s stickin’ a red hot poker up our asses and I wanna know who’s name’s on the handle”
Before becoming a cinematic sensation, a young Quentin Tarantino worked in the film rental store Video Archives in Manhattan Beach, and would often recommend little-known titles to customers. On one occasion, he suggested Louis Malle’s Au Revoir Les Enfants, to which the customer mockingly replied, “I don’t want to see no Reservoir Dogs.” And so the title of Tarantino’s blistering debut film was born. It was originally planned as a $30,000 personal film with his friends, before Harvey Keitel showed an interest in the script and came onboard as the star and co-producer which helped hike the budget up to $1.5 million. The rest, as they say, is history. Tarantino had finally made his mark on the movie map and has since become one of the most highly praised directors of his, or any other, generation.
