Pop singer Bruno Mars began his 2026 “Romantic Tour” in Las Vegas not with a chart-topping hit but with a moment of quiet prayer that has since gone viral. As a sold-out crowd waited inside Allegiant Stadium on April 10 and 11, a pre-recorded video played on giant screens. Mars, kneeling inside a Catholic church, bowed his head and spoke directly to God. “God, I thank you for giving me another day to do what I love,” he said. “All... Read more

When Amy Grant and I reconnected recently over a morning call, the conversation moved easily from family updates to the layers of loss and the craft of songwriting — the very threads that stitch together her new project, “The Me That Remains.” As a longtime fan who wrote her a letter at 14 (“I wish I still had it,” she quipped) and has followed her career for decades, I came to our interview wanting to hear not only about the...

Michael Jackson Biopic: A Fan’s Honest Take on ‘Michael’

t’s only right that I begin this review by admitting I’m a longtime Michael Jackson fan. “Thriller” was the first cassette tape I ever bought with my own money. Writing a review of the “Thriller” video was my first contribution to my school newspaper. I even called the “Michael Jackson Hotline” back in the day for the latest news—long before social media existed. So I’m clearly the target audience for a film about his life, especially one that doesn’t feel... Read more
