Beyoncé is never too shy to pay homage to the past and she set the internet ablaze when she recently sampled Nancy Sinatra’s “These Boots Are Made for Walkin’.” When Sinatra explained the song, Queen B’s decision to sample it made so much sense. In a way, “These Boots Are Made for Walkin'” paved the way for some of Beyoncé’s best songs.
Nancy Sinatra said ‘These Boots Are Made for Walkin” is perfect for certain women
During a 2004 interview with Hot Press, Sinatra discussed the impact music had one her life. “The music is the thread all the way through,” she said. “Classical piano for 12 years and teaching 40 girls in school how to sing in four-part harmony were two of my early passions. I lost my way for a little while but after my first so-called marriage (to teen idol Tommy Sands) ended I was able to...

“The Voice” battles round for season 25 concluded on Tuesday night with each of the four coaches narrowing their teams of 10 down to seven. Second season coach Reba McEntire used her one and only “Playoff Pass” on L. Rodgers, sending her straight to the live shows while the remaining five battles winners and the artist she stole move on to the next round. Those six artists representing their team will next take the stage for The Knockouts beginning April 8, but first we want to know who is your favorite artist on Team Reba? Vote in the poll below.
L. went head-to-head against Tae Lewis in their battle of “We Don’t Fight Anymore.” With Reba picking Tae as the “winner,” L. was up for grabs from the other coaches. Chance the Rapper wanted to use his steal on her, but Reba stopped that by using her playoff pass to keep L.

There are many things that we love about The Voice, right, from the coaches’ goofy interplay to the contestants’ go-for-broke performances. But is any one of them more fun than second-guessing the panel’s decisions? And I dunno about you, but I did quite a bit of that Tuesday evening as the Battles ended. On two out of four face-offs, I disagreed with the coaches. Read on, and we’ll discuss why.

Beyonce‘s career breakthrough came in the 1990s as a teenage member of Destiny’s Child. But since then she has established herself as one of the biggest music stars of the 21st century. So naturally it’s challenging to narrow down the greatest hits of her career … not that we let that stop us from trying, though. Scroll down for our countdown of her best songs — including “Countdown”! Do you agree with how we rank them?
Destiny’s Child had several hits including “Survivor” and “Bills, Bills, Bills,” but it was “Say My Name” that earned Beyonce her first Grammys when she was only 19: Best R&b Duo/Group Performance and Best R&b Song. She has since become one of the most awarded individuals in Grammy history, the most awarded woman in history, and the most nominated woman in history. But most of the top categories have eluded her.

Taylor Swift‘s “The Man” has the female empowerment vibes of a Beyoncé song. In fact, its lyrics are pretty similar to one Beyoncé song in particular. Both tunes are reminiscent of a 1980s metal song.
How Taylor Swift’s ‘The Man’ is — and isn’t — like a Beyoncé song
In “The Man,” Swift imagines what life would be like if she were a man and didn’t have to deal with sexist double standards. It’s a feminist anthem from an artist who has become more and more of an outspoken feminist as time has gone on. It’s also part of a cultural shift toward feminism that began in the early 2010s.
Swift’s song has a pair of gender-bending pop predecessors. In 1986, Bonnie Tyler of “Total Eclipse of the Heart” and “Holding Out for a Hero” fame released “If You Were a Woman (And I Was a...

If you’ve attended a mainstream country concert in the past decade, you’re probably familiar with the part of the set where the headliner sprinkles in a non-obvious cover from an adjacent genre like pop, R&b, or classic rock. It’s a move with any number of purposes: to show an artist’s range of influences, to reel in a drifting crowd with a massive hit, to appeal to a wider audience, or to highlight how fluid and arbitrary genre borders really are when you strip a song back to its essentials.

Twoja Twarz Brzmi Znajomo, the Polish iteration of the international reality competition Your Face Sounds Familiar, will undergo an internal investigation following the use of blackface in a recent episode.
Banjiay Group, the French parent company of Endemol Shine Poland — the impersonation series’ local producer — condemned the appearance of the historically racist practice originating in the U.S. of darkening one’s skin on the show, alongside the use of the N-word in one contestant’s performance.
“Banijay condemns Endemol Shine Poland’s local execution of Your Face Sounds Familiar, which contradicts our group’s global values,” a spokesperson shared in a statement to The Hollywood Reporter. “A subsequent internal investigation is underway and the appropriate measures will be taken.”
The show, which originated in Spain in 2011, sees contestants impersonating various musicians via musical performances. In a recent episode, two performers — singer Kuba Szmajkowski and actress Pola Gonciarza — appeared as Kendrick Lamar and Beyoncé Knowles-Carter,...

Blackface performances by white people on a popular Polish TV talent show have caused uproar on social media.
On Sept. 9, Polish star Kuba Szmajkowski won episode two of the current season of “Twoja Twarz Brzmi Znajomo,” the Polish version of “Your Face Sounds Familiar,” for performing Lamar’s track “Humble” from Grammy-winning album “Damn” (2017) in Blackface. During his performance he also used the N-word. On the same episode, actor Pola Gonciarz darkened her skin and performed Beyoncé’s “If I Were a Boy.”
The two Blackface performances have stirred outrage on social media. One of the comments on Szmajkowski’s performance was: “Oh no Kuba, this isn’t okay. Producers of this show, what were you thinking? Kuba is an amazing talent who could have had a massive career internationally. But now this performance is out there.”

Since her early rise to fame in the ’90s as the lead singer of the R&b group Destiny’s Child, Beyoncé has worked fearlessly to get to where she is today, as the queen of music. Like most performers, the star has experienced her share of run-ins with overzealous fans, as was the case in 2013 when a concertgoer slapped her butt during a live performance. With 32 Grammy wins, Queen Bey knows a thing or two about being a professional, and she shut the man down in the classiest way possible.

Beyoncé‘s “Halo” was co-written by a rock star. He penned lyrics for the bridge of the song. Subsequently, Queen B decided to take the song in another direction.
Beyoncé | Kevin Winter / Staff Beyoncé’s ‘Halo’ was written because Queen B was a huge fan of a OneRepublic song
Ryan Tedder is the lead singer of the pop-rock band OneRepublic. He wrote songs for other artists, including Lil Nas X’s “Thats What I Want,” the Jonas Brothers’ “Sucker,” and Leona Lewis’ “Bleeding Love.”
During a 2020 interview with Entertainment Weekly, Tedder discussed the origin of “Halo.” Beyoncé was a fan of OneRepublic’s song “Come Home” and she asked Tedder to write a similar song for her. Subsequently, he hurt his heel and had to get surgery to fix it.

Spoiler Alert: Do not read ahead if you have not watched “The Masked Singer” Season 6, Episode 10, “Group B Semi-Finals,” which aired November 17 on Fox.
There has perhaps never been a more on-the-nose costume on “The Masked Singer” than “Duck Dynasty” star Willie Robertson as the Mallard. In a reality TV heavy night for “The Masked Singer,” Robertson was unmasked as Mallard, and “Queer Eye” star/interior designer Bobby Berk was revealed to be the Caterpillar, as seen on the tenth episode of Season 6, “Group B Semi-Finals.”
“I was just hiding in plain sight, I guess,” said Robertson — who pointed out that technically the character he was dressed as is not actually a mallard. “That thing was awesome, and I let them know it’s not a mallard, it’s a wood duck. I knew the difference, but then we thought it would be a funny throwoff clue.”
For Mallard, no one got Robertson right.

Could “The Masked Singer” season 6 be won by a Wildcard? The last one standing is the Caterpillar and he is a strong favorite to win the Group B semifinal on November 17. He faces off against the Banana Split duo, Mallard and Queen of Hearts.
He made his debut as a Wild Card on the October 13 episode and impressed the four judges enough that they opted to keep him in the competition and send Cupcake home. She was by revealed by host Nick Cannon to be legendary singer Ruth Pointer. He made it through again in episode 7 when another Wildcard, Beach Ball, was bounced and unmasked as Honey Boo Boo and Mama June.

“Remember her laughing through all the pain/remember the girl who didn’t let anything get in her way,” she sings.
Pulsing drum sounds and bird-call guitar tones frame Guyton’s dynamic voice, which she flexes throughout the track. Near song’s end, she hits a particularly dramatic,...

France TV Distribution, the commercial arm of the French public broadcaster, has acquired international sales rights to Audrey Dana’s French comedy “Men on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown.”
The movie, which is set to start shooting soon, will star Marina Hands (“French Women”), Thierry Lhermitte (“The French Minister”) and François-Xavier Demaison (“Naked Normandy”).
French production banner Curiosa Films (Juliette Binoche starrer “Let the Sunshine In”), is producing “Men on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown.” Dana previously directed “If I Were A Boy” and “French Women.”
The film follows seven men, all city-dwellers aged between 17 and 70, with nothing in common apart from the fact that they are all on the verge of nervous breakdowns. They sign up for an unusual workshop in a rural area, hoping to get back on their feet, but nothing goes according to plan.

The Top 10 artists on “The Voice” sang one song each on the two-hour episode on Monday May 7. The goal for each of these would-be winners of season 14 is to make it into the top 10 on iTunes by Tuesday morning so that they can reap the benefit of a vote multiplier. The bottom two vote-getters as revealed by host Carson Daly will have to sing for the Instant Save on Tuesday’s show.
That is what happened last week to Sharane Calister and Christiana Danielle from Teams Adam Levine and Alicia Keys respectively. Each had to sing one more song to try and win votes cast by viewers via Twitter. Calister was up first and tackled the 2008 song “If I Were a Boy,” which was a top 10 hit for Beyonce. Danielle then won over viewers with her version of “A Thousand Years,” the Christina Perri song from the first film in the “Twlight” franchise.

On Tuesday’s edition of “The Voice,” the bottom two vote getters among the Top 11 artists were Sharane Calister from Team Adam Levine and Christiana Danielle from Team Alicia Keys respectively. Each had to sing one more song to try and win votes cast by viewers via Twitter. Danielle won the audience over and our readers were equally enamored. By a margin of 59% to 41% they preferred her performance over that of Calister and were happy she won the Instant Save.
Perhaps the fact that Calister sang first hurt her in the public vote. Those watching the show live in the Eastern and Central time zones knew when to weigh in via Twitter. Fans of either artist in the rest of the country had to rely on social media if they wanted to back their favorite, albeit without having seen the performances.

Vote in our poll below and sound off in the comments section.
Calister was up first and tackled the 2008 song “If I Were a Boy,” which was a top 10 hit for Beyonce. As our live blogger Denton Davidson noted, “It’s typically a wise choice to sing a ballad like this and Sharane is able to show off her big belting range. Unfortunately, she seems to veer off key at times and her runs seem a little all over the place. It actually...

Of the three “American Idol” contestants who were eliminated on Sunday April 29, Ada Vox was the one who will be missed most.

If you haven’t cast your ballot yet be sure to do so at the bottom of this post.
All three numbered among the Top 10, with each of them singing a song from a Disney animated classic. In a first for the franchise, the show aired live nationwide. America got to vote for their favorites in real-time, with the results revealed by host Ryan Seacrest at the end of the episode.

Sunday’s American Idol kicked off the Season 16 semifinals, with the first group from the Top 24 taking the stage for solo performances.
Along for the ride was radio host/country music tastemaker Bobby Bones, who mentored each contestant as they prepared for “the most important performance of their journey… so far.” Like Billy Eichner, I never pass up the opportunity to make a bones pun, so I’ll be sharing the bones I have to pick with tonight’s contestants, as well as Bones’ bones.
