Is there any such thing as a great Grammys telecast? One where you’re just completely locked in through the whole thing, like “let’s all celebrate music together”? No, right?

It would make things simpler for those of us who have to write about it, anyway. The Antoine Fuqua-directed Michael was supposed to hit theaters last fall, but it reportedly needed emergency reshoots when the producers learned that the last act of the film, which they’d already shot, violated the terms of Jackson’s out-of-court settlement with Jordan Chandler, the 13-year-old boy who accused Jackson of sexual abuse.

Last night, Cardi B made her return to SNL. The Bronx rapper was previously the musical guest was in 2018, performing the same week that her debut studio album Invasion Of Privacy was released. This time, there was no grand pregnancy announcement. But she did open with a vibrant performance of “Bodega Baddie,” which paid homage to her Dominican roots.

Before there was Garbage, there was Angelfish. Steve Marker first reached out to Shirley Manson about singing for Garbage after seeing her band Angelfish’s video for “Suffocate Me,” which famously aired just once on MTV during the September 12, 1993 episode of 120 Minutes, at nearly 2 a.m. Last night, the short-lived early-’90s rock group reunited live for the first time in a decade with all proceeds from the show benefiting humanitarian aid charities for Palestinian children.

The existence of Mariah Carey’s secret ’90s grunge album was first revealed in her 2020 memoir The Meaning Of Mariah Carey. In 1995, Someone’s Ugly Daughter was released under the band name Chick without her lead vocals. It was inspired by Sleater-Kinney and L7 and Carey has been “on a quest” to find the version of the LP with her lead vocals intact so she could put it out; last fall she talked with SZA and Jimmy Fallon about the mission. In the meantime, Foo Fighters and Taylor Momsen teamed up to cover some of its tracks last night at the MusiCares Person Of The Year benefit gala honoring the singer.
