Backstreet Boys Elevator Performance With Classroom Instruments

Jimmy Fallon, the Backstreet Boys and The Roots discovered this in the latest installment of “The Tonight Show’s” recurring late-night segment that tasks big-name artists with performing their biggest hits accompanied only by classroom instruments.
The Backstreet Boys answered this challenge with a rousing rendition of their 1999 single.

Backstreet Boy Brian Littrell joined the fun by playing an apple shaker and wood block, Nick Carter tapped a tambourine, Kevin Richardson took on the güiro, A.J. McLean picked up a maraca and Howie Dorough clapped a pair of coconuts.
Fallon, meanwhile, kept busy with a bass drum, a Casio keyboard and an apple shaker.
The vocal group was on hand to promote its latest single, “Don’t Go Breaking My Heart,” which was released last month.

At first, it was just band member Brian Littrell in the elevator car, and his presence alone was enough to make three women starstruck. But then Howie Dorough and Kevin Richardson hitched a ride, followed by A.J. McLean and Nick Carter. The sight of the fivesome stopped some MTV workers dead in their tracks, while others excitedly crowded into the car. With a full house, BSB treated these MTV employees to an impromptu concert of their hits “I Want It That Way,” “Everybody (Backstreet’s Back),” and “As Long As You Love Me.”

And while they were in New York City, the ‘90s stars also hit up The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, joining Fallon and The Roots in a “Classroom Instruments” rendition of “I Want It That Way” and performing their new single “Don’t Go Breaking My Heart.”

“I think it’s just Backstreet Boys doing what we do best,” Littrell, 43, told NME of the new material. “We’re known as a vocal band first, so when you hear those signature sounds of us singing together, you know what it is. The production is obviously ever-changing, being that music evolves and goes through different fads, but it’s just good, timeless music. We like using both real instruments and sampled sounds, so it’s a mixture of both. It’s a well-rounded sound. When you hear us singing together, fortunately, you just know it’s the Backstreet Boys.”

Drake’s New Album ‘Scorpion’: The Details

In the past year, Drake has gifted the world new music in the form of a “playlist” (More Life) and a two-song EP (Scary Hours). But soon enough, the 6 God will unleash his first full-length project since 2016’s Views titled Scorpion, and the excitement is palpable.

The Scorpion announcement follows Drake’s instant hit and current Hot 100 chart-topper “Nice for What,” the follow-up to Scary Hours cuts “Diplomatic Immunity” and “God’s Plan” — the latter of which held the No. 1 spot on the Hot 100 for 11 weeks and broke Apple Music and Spotify’s first-day streaming records in January.

Ahead of the release of Drake’s hugely anticipated Scorpion album, we’ve gathered everything you need to know to get excited about the record’s drop.

Just because he’s been trolling us with his adidas and Nike ‘fit switch-ups, and playing Fortnite on the regular, doesn’t mean Drake has not been hard at work in the studio.

His last album Views, which dropped in 2016, included guest appearances from Wizkid, Kayla, and Rihanna. The record was then followed by the mixtape More Life in 2017 and the Scary Hours EP a year later. Needless to say, we’re well on track for another full-length.

Given that Aubrey has taken to social media to announce that he has a new albumdropping this summer, we’ve gathered everything we know so far about Drake’s forthcoming record.

JUNE 29 2018 ?

A post shared by champagnepapi (@champagnepapi) on Jun 13, 2018 at 8:26pm PDT

Drake began to tease fans with tidbits about his album earlier this week when he posted a photo of himself in a shiny bomber jacket with “Scorpion” emblazoned on the back. With his new album slated for release in June, Billboard scoured the internet and Drizzy’s Instagram page to find out more about his fifth studio album Scorpion. Here’s what we know so far:

Title

The title of Drake’s new album Scorpion led many to believe it was a reference to the rapper’s Scorpio zodiac sign, which makes sense given that his birthday falls on October 24 and the rapper’s entire music empire, October’s Very Own, is named after his birth month.

Earlier in the week, Drake shared a photo of a gold necklace, embellished with a diamond-encrusted scorpion in the middle and the succinct caption, “June 2018″ announcing his new project. He followed up with another photo of himself rocking a black bomber with writing on the back, reminiscent of an end-credits scene in a movie. Could Drizzy be filming a documentary or short film to coincide with the album?

Release Date

While Drake announced that his forthcoming album will arrive in June 2018, he decided to keep the specific release date a secret. However, he’s set to perform at a super exclusive dinner party at Chateau Le Jardin in Ontario on June 7, which may or may not be a part of his album’s promotional campaign.

Producers/Features

Drake’s “God’s Plan” and “Diplomatic Immunity” were already featured on the Scary Hours EP released earlier this year, so it’s likely the singles won’t land on Scorpion, but that doesn’t mean Drizzy’s go-to producers — Boi 1da and Noah “40” Shebib, who produced the Scary Hours cuts — won’t have a hand in the new album. In fact, Drake already confirmed his longtime producer 40 and OVO manager Olivier El-Khatib will be executive producing the Scorpion album in a recent Instagram post, in which 40 is seen rocking his own custom Scorpion bomber jacket.

The 6 God’s latest song “Nice for What” was produced by Murda Beatz and could possibly be featured on the new project as well. In December, Drizzy posted an image of him speaking with Nigerian artist Tekno at a studio, suggesting the two artists may have collaborated on a song, given Drake’s history with Caribbean-inspired sounds.

Before announcing the album, though, Drake’s friend, Steez (aka @steezthegreat on IG) complimented the outfit the rapper was wearing in a recent photo and wrote, “Zip up is hard.” Drake replied, “harder than the album intro or nah,” suggesting that his aside from the overall album, fans can especially look forward to the album opener.

It’s like that Drake?!? ? tag who you think the producer is ?

Tracklist:

An official tracklist has not yet been revealed, but “Nice for What” is apparently slated to be featured on the record. Drake is also rumored to debut another song with Lauryn Hill, but until then, revisit the video below.

On May 27th, Drake dropped his new single “I’m Upset”. At this point, it’s not confirmed if “I’m Upset” will be on the album or not, but the Toronto rapper did drop visuals for the song reuniting the cast of Degrassi.

Drake’s ‘I’m Upset’: The Full Lyrics

Drake lays his feelings out on his “I’m Upset” track, the second official single from his upcoming Scorpion studio album, set to be released June 29. He introduces the song with a soft piano melody before his booming “I’m upset” line, but the song of the same name has nothing to do with his beef with Pusha T that has seemingly been laid to rest.

The “Nice for What” rapper shares a clap-back to the women who use him for his money. While Drake is expected to pay a girl’s checks and then some (“Every month, I’m supposed to pay her bills/ And get her what she want”), he increases how much money he has to name — not as a net-worth amount, but in regards to ransom. He first sings “Fifty thousand on my head, it’s disrespect” during the first chorus and later increases the amount to “Half a million” by the third time referenced.

“They are a perfect it. They are not rushing to get married. Their friends are really excited and supportive,” one source told Us. “They are both constantly making each other laugh. Their moms have met. They’ve been very public with their relationship on social media and they are in very in love.”

Grande hosted and performed on SNL in March 2016. She recently split with Mac Miller after two years of dating. Davidson, meanwhile, was last linked to Larry David’s daughter Cazzie David.

Grande rocked mouse ears for the outing and briefly waved after a fan called out her name.

Another admirer was lucky enough to snap a few selfies with the “No Tears Left to Cry” singer.

For her part, the singer tweeted “i love u sm hi & thank u i love u bye,” a message that many of her followers are taking as her own confirmation of the news.

i love u sm hi & thank u i love u bye

— Ariana Grande (@ArianaGrande) June 12, 2018

Grande also wrote, “crying,” in response to a tweet calling her “Mrs. Davidson.”

“It’s a recent engagement. They’re just two people who found love quickly and make each other happy all the time. They both started talking about it this past weekend. It’s nothing they’ve been hiding,” an insider told PEOPLE.

Davidson also confirmed that he had split from his longtime girlfriend Cazzie David in mid-May, around the same time he wrapped his fourth season performing on Saturday Night Live. He will reportedly return to the show when it resumes production in the fall.

“He went through a rough patch a while back but he’s been really happy lately,” the source said about Davidson, who recently revealed that he’s back to drinking and smoking following his diagnosis of borderline personality disorder. Davidson has also said he struggles with anxiety and Crohn’s disease.

Grande previously said she’s battled anxiety and post-traumatic stress disorder since the bombing at the Manchester, U.K. concert venue where she was performing in May 2017.

“It’s hard to talk about because so many people have suffered such severe, tremendous loss,” she told Vogue U.K. for their July issue.

“But, yeah, it’s a real thing. I know those families and my fans, and everyone there experienced a tremendous amount of it as well. Time is the biggest thing. I feel like I shouldn’t even be talking about my own experience — like I shouldn’t even say anything,” Grande said.

One fan named @agbtwists tweeted, “petianas wedding will snatch all wigs. it’ll be so much be so much better than the royal wedding [sic].” That’s a hard call to make, but Prince Harry and Meghan Markle probably don’t have a couple name quite as fun to say.

petianas wedding will snatch all wigs. it’ll be so much be so much better than the royal wedding. thanks for coming to my ted talk

— kristen (@agbtwists) June 12, 2018

Comparing Ariana and Pete to Meghan and Harry was certainly a popular frame of reference for excited fans. “Omg new royal wedding,” @Unicxrnash tweeted. “I’m shook.”

This was actually the second tweet from Grande that seemed to confirm her engagement to Davidson, but you might not realize it since she deleted the first one. The now-deleted monkey emoji-filled tweet from Monday afternoon read, “i love u sm ok bye,” which is basically the same tweet she would repost hours later.

One fan named @yungcyberprince even tweeted, “Sis didn’t you tweet this earlier I’m confused,” to have Grande respond, “i got nervous pls.”

TONY AWARDS 2018

The 2018 Tony Awards finished off following a turbulent night, tied down by has Sara Bareilles and Josh Groban.

It’s Broadway’s Night of Nights. The three-hour Tony Awards ceremony hosted by Broadway stars Sara Bareilles and Josh Groban will be broadcast live (ET/PT time delay) on the CBS Television Network and CBS All Access from 8:00 – 11:00 p.m. ET from Radio City Music Hall in New York City. Or stream the Tony Awards live across platforms with the CBS All Access subscription service. (Live stream is available in select markets. Visit CBS.com/allaccess for details. The awards will be followed by the invite-only Tony Gala.

A few noteworthy classes saw dark horse contenders lead the pack, and Robert De Niro had some decision words for President Trump.

As expected, The Band’s Visit won Best Musical, Harry Potter and the Cursed Child won Best Play, and Angels in America won Best Revival of a Play.

But Once On This Island landed an underdog triumph for Best Revival of a Musical, pushing out both Lincoln Center’s ravishing My Fair Lady and the more polarizing Carousel.

The Band’s Visit walked away with an aggregate of ten grants off eleven assignments, including Best Actor (Tony Shalhoub), and Best Actress (Katrina Lenk), and Best Supporting Actor (Ari’el Stachel), Best Score, and Book. It was a greater pull than numerous normal, with intellectuals thinking the acting and configuration honours would be part with SpongeBob SquarePants or Carousel.

What’s more, Robert De Niro stunned CBS blue pencils. As he exhibited a sentimental number by Bruce Springsteen, he yelled “F- – k Trump!”, which must be bleeped out on communicated and sent web-based social networking into a tantrum.

“Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, Parts One and Two” grabbed best play and “The Band’s Visit” was perceived as the best melodic

“Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, Parts One and Two” grabbed best play and “The Band’s Visit” was perceived as the best melodic in an enthusiastic Tony Awards. And this blended Broadway razzle-astonish with politically-charged invitations to battle.

“Angels in America,” a sprawling two-section show about the AIDS emergency, and that was named the year’s best play recovery. The respect, one of three statues it got on Sunday, while came around 25 years after the first creation of “Angels in America” cleared the 1993 Tonys.

Sunday was likewise a night of bombshells. And in one striking section buster, “Once on This Island” was named best restoration of a melodic over the intensely supported “My Fair Lady” and “Rodgers & Hammerstein’s Carousel.” It was the main honour it grabbed out of eight designations.

Apparently a festival of theatre, the Tonys were an open door for Broadway to talk up the ideals of consideration. And assorted variety, while likewise attracting regard for gay rights, firearm control. And the difficulties confronting workers. The majority of those messages were conveyed persuasively, others came trimmed with four-letter words. While presenting an execution by Bruce Springsteen. For example, moderator Robert De Niro said “fuck Trump” twice sending CBS blue pencils scrambling to bleep his disagreeable comments. Stagehands inside the Radio City Music Hall looked obviously paralyzed even. Because the horde of on-screen characters, makers, and executives in their gathering of people rose to their feet in their help.

De Niro’s blazing words are the well on the way to evoke a Twitter reaction from President Donald Trump, move link news pontificating, and prompt scores of think pieces.

De Niro’s blazing words are the well on the way to evoke a Twitter reaction from President Donald Trump, move link news pontificating, and prompt scores of think pieces. They were, notwithstanding, something of a peculiarity. Most victors and moderators abstained from specifying President Donald Trump or Trump-ism by name while influencing it to clear that their sensitivities are with the opposition consequently. Numerous wore pins trumpeting developments, for example, Time’s Up or strips featuring left-inclining associations, for example, the ACLU.

Tony Kushner, the writer behind “Angels in America,” was one of the communicate’s more express instigators, asking individuals to get out and vote in the mid-term races in November. Telling watchers they have “21 weeks to save our democracy and heal our planet.”

He wasn’t the only one sounding a note of alarm. Andrew Garfield, the best driving on-screen character in a play victor for his work as Prior Walter, the AIDS-stricken prophet at the focal point of “Angels in America,” changed the Supreme Court for maintaining the privilege of a Colorado pastry specialist to decline to heat a cake for the marriage of a same-sex couple. “Let’s bake a cake for everyone,” Garfield said.

In a mournful discourse, Garfield regarded the LGBTQ people group, saying, “It is a spirit that says no to oppression. It is a spirit that says no to bigotry, no to shame, no to exclusion. It is a spirit that says we are all made perfectly and we all belong.”

The best performer in a play winner Glenda Jackson, perceived for her turn as a feeble doyenne in “Three Tall Women,” adulated the multi-social nature of the theatre business.

“There are people in this audience, in this country, in this city from every other country in the world,” said Jackson. And you as always are welcoming and kind and generous, and America has never needed that more, but then America is always great.”

“There are people in this audience, in this country, in this city from every other country in the world,” said Jackson. And you as always are welcoming and kind and generous, and America has never needed that more, but then America is always great. “It wasn’t only the substance of the discourses that made this release of the Tonys appear to be all the more ideologically energized. A considerable lot of the demonstrates that were perceived think about political issues that have reverberation with current occasions. “Angels in America,” unfurls in the 1980’s as AIDS was killing off an age of gay individuals — it’s additionally a period in which a more forceful type of conservatism was on the ascent.

Most of all, “The Band’s Visit,” the narrative of a gathering of Egyptian artists who end up holding with the inhabitants of a little Israeli town, is a request to resistance and fraternity at a minute when strains are ascending in the Middle East.

The stage rendition of a 2007 film of a similar name earned a main 10 wins, including statues for driving performing artist ( Tony Shalhoub) and performer (Katrina Lenk) in a melodic.

“Angels in America’s” Nathan Lane grabbed a best-included performer statue for his execution as Roy Cohn, a dishonest power-agent who was a coach to President Trump. Calling “Holy messengers in America” one of the best plays of the Twentieth Century, Lane stated, “it is still speaking to us as powerfully as ever in the midst of such political insanity.”

Garfield and Lane weren’t the main entertainers to sound lobbyist notes in their acknowledgement talks. Lindsay Mendez, grabbing Tony for best highlighted on-screen character for her work in “Rodgers and Hammerstein’s Carousel,” noticed that she was advised to change her last name to Matthews when she initially began working professionally. She won’t.

“I want to say how proud I am to be part of a community that celebrates diversity and individuality,” said Mendez.

Holding back tears, best included performing artist in a melodic victor Ari’el Stachel (“The Band’s Visit”) said he had veiled his Middle Eastern legacy after 9/11, notwithstanding abstaining from conveying his folks to occasions. That changed to some degree with “The Band’s Visit,” and its picture of Arabs and Israelis joining over their common mankind.

“I’m part of a cast of actors who never believed they’d be able to play their own races and we’re doing that,” said Stachel. He closes with a message to more youthful watchers, letting them know “Your biggest obstacle may turn into your purpose.”

In addition, Stachel’s chief David Cromer was likewise regarded for his work on the play and utilized his opportunity to make an impression on individuals experiencing misery. “The Band’s Visit” concerns individuals who have lost expectation, he stated, imploring the individuals who are enduring to “call out.” His discourse came days after superstar culinary expert Anthony Bourdain and mould originator Kate Spade conferred suicide.

“Three Tall Women’s” Laurie Metcalf won her second Tony Award in the same number of years for the best-highlighted performer in a play. She grabbed the main on-screen character statue in 2017 for “A Doll’s House, Part 2.”

Co-has Sara Bareilles and Josh Groban commenced the function with an energetic opening number that jabbed fun at their consolidated absence of honours acknowledgement.

Taking note of that 90% of individuals in the gathering of people would go home failures, they ameliorated the Tony-less by taking note of, “in a world that is scary and hard to endure if you make are at all you’re part of the cure.”

Bareilles and Groban showed up sporadically finished the course of the three-hour broadcast, inclining intensely on their melodic abilities, rather than grasping a more joke-arranged approach. Notwithstanding keeping the show moving, they were entrusted with banishing all recollections of a year ago’s emcee, Kevin Spacey, whose vocation has imploded in the wake of lewd behaviour affirmations.

In spite of the fact that intrinsically appraisals tested, the Tony Awards are viewed as a vital open door for Broadway appears. And most noteworthy musicals, to goose their ticket deals. “My Fair Lady,” “SpongeBob SquarePants,” “Frozen,” and “Mean Girls” were among the demonstrates that presented shower numbers with an eye towards changing over watchers at home into the future group of onlookers individuals.

Like the vast majority of the plays up for grants, “Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, Parts One and Two,” didn’t indicate film from its two-section take a gander at the kid wizard in adulthood. It didn’t have to.

In spite of hitting New York with a $68.5 million spending that makes it the costliest play at any point delivered, the new “Harry Potter” is an affirmed crush.

In spite of hitting New York with a $68.5 million spending that makes it the costliest play at any point delivered, the new “Harry Potter” is an affirmed crush. Tickets as of now cost a huge number of dollars and are as difficult to get as those for “Hamilton.” The six Tony wins for “Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, Parts One and Two” are only sauce for what has been a record-shattering run.

The broadcast didn’t need for star control. Denzel Washington, Michael Cera, Tina Fey, and Amy Schumer were altogether selected and showed up amid the communicate.

Bruce Springsteen, as of now pressing them in with his private show “Springsteen on Broadway,” is relied upon to perform. He was regarded with a unique Tony Award toward the start of the communication. And introduced to him by kindred rocker Billy Joel.

Bareilles and Groban showed up sporadically finished the course of the three-hour broadcast, inclining intensely on their melodic abilities, rather than grasping a more joke-arranged approach. Notwithstanding keeping the show moving, they were entrusted with banishing all recollections of a year ago’s emcee, Kevin Spacey, whose vocation has imploded in the wake of lewd behaviour affirmations.

Therefore, in any case, the greatest work of art, and one of the passionate features of the night originated from entertainers who aren’t easily recognized names. Individuals from the dramatization office at the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, survivors of a school shooting in Parkland, Florida. And that killed seventeen individuals, got a deafening applause for their interpretation of “Seasons of Love” from “Rent.”

“We are all sacred and we all belong,” Garfield said. “So, let’s just bake a cake for everyone who wants a cake to be baked.”

Bruce Springsteen won a special Tony Award for his sold-out Broadway show, “Springsteen on Broadway.” He also performed “My Hometown” later in the night.

Furthermore, Actor Robert DeNiro caused a stir while introducing Springsteen’s performance. The actor cursed twice saying, “f**k Trump.” He received a standing ovation.

“First, I wanna say, ‘f**k Trump.’ It’s no longer ‘Down with Trump,’ it’s ‘f**k Trump.'”

In addition, Composer Andrew Lloyd Webber and Broadway star, Chita Rivera both received lifetime achievement awards.
