Jon Burlingame editorThis year’s Oscar song race may be more competitive than initially thought. Billie Eilish’s James Bond theme “No Time to Die,” long believed the front-runner, has been out for over two years (awaiting a COVID-delayed release of the film it was written for) and now faces opposition from Lin-Manuel Miranda’s “Encanto” song.While it’s not “We Don’t Talk About Bruno,” the TikTok sensation driving the Disney soundtrack to no.

Last year’s surprise win by H.E.R.
and her songwriters (for “Fight for You”) suggests this song cannot be counted out. Beyoncé’s co-writer Dixson says his father “was very similar to Richard Williams.
He had a strategy for his kids. I didn’t need to see the film to know the story; I lived it myself.” Further inspiration came from his mother: “Every major accomplishment in my career so far has come of knowing and being attached to a very powerful, strong woman.”“Dos Oruguitas” from “Encanto”Lin-Manuel Miranda’s touching ballad from the climax of the animated Disney story is also the first song he’s ever written in Spanish.
Sung by Colombian pop star Sebastián Yatra, it is only the second Spanish-language song ever to be nominated (after “Al otro lado del rio” which won in 2004). A Miranda win will also elevate him to EGOT status, having already earned two Emmys, three Grammys and a trio of Tonys during his time in the

Foo Fighters have cancelled a planned performance at the 2022 Grammy Awards, following the death of their drummer Taylor Hawkins last week.Last month, prior to Hawkins’ death, the band were announced as part of the performance roster for the ceremony – which takes place this Sunday (April 3) in Las Vegas – alongside Billie Eilish, Olivia Rodrigo, BTS and more.Earlier this week, Foo Fighters announced they were cancelling all of their upcoming tour dates in light of Hawkins’ death. “We’re sorry for and share in the disappointment that we won’t be seeing one another as planned,” they wrote in a statement at the time.“Instead, let’s take the time to grieve, to heal, to pull our loved ones close, and to appreciate all the music and memories we’ve made together.”Rolling Stone is now reporting that the band will not be performing at this weekend’s Grammys either.
Grammys will pay tribute to the late Foo Fighters drummer Taylor Hawkins during their 2022 ceremony on Sunday (April 3).This year’s Grammys are set to take place at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas this weekend, and Foo Fighters were previously announced as one of the live performers on the night.The band have since cancelled all of their upcoming live gigs “in light of the staggering loss of our brother” Hawkins, who passed away last Friday (March 25) in Bogotá, Colombia at the age of 50.Speaking to Variety in a new interview, Jack Sussman, CBS’ executive vice president of specials, music and live events, has now said that Hawkins’ memory will be honoured during this year’s Grammys.“We will honour his memory in some way,” Sussman said. “We want to figure out what is the right thing to do that is respectful to everyone involved.
footage resurfaced of the “King Richard” actor appearing to playfully threaten a Spanish TV presenter, warning: “Careful with what you say to my wife.”The 2010 clip — which is again circulating on the heels of Will slapping Chris Rock at the Oscar’s Sunday night — shows him and wife Jada Pinkett-Smith, 50, with TV host Pablo Motos on the popular Spanish talk show “El Hormiguero.”Motos starts out by complimenting Jada’s “beautiful” looks and career success — only for Will, 53, to interject as their son Jaden Smith shook his head.“Pablo, be careful with the words you use for my wife, okay!?” Will warned in Spanish as he raised his hand at the presenter. After defending his Jada, he motioned for Motos to continue talking, leaning in to suggest that he was listening closely to every word.
Will Smith once pretended to raise his hand to a Spanish TV host over wife Jada.
Foo Fighters have cancelled all forthcoming tour dates following the death of drummer Taylor Hawkins on Friday (25 March). The band were on tour in South America preparing to perform at a Colombian festival when Hawkins complained of chest pains.

The Sopranos.The Hamilton creator appeared as a hotel employee in the 15th episode of the sixth season, who crosses paths with Tony Soprano (James Gandolfini) and Paulie Gualtieri (Tony Sirico) during their road trip from New Jersey to Florida.Speaking about his experience on the show in Judd Apatow’s new book Sicker In The Head: More Conversations About Life And Comedy, Miranda explained how he was intimidated by the small role.“I went on lots of voiceover auditions and acting auditions, and the only thing I booked was The Sopranos, as a bellboy; I say, ‘I don’t know’ twice,” Miranda said.“I’m so green you can see me look down at my mark. Watch it if you get a chance, because now people are like ‘Lin-Manuel’s cameo on The Sopranos!’ It wasn’t a cameo.

Now the Tony-winner, 42, is speaking out about his experience working alongside the late James Gandolfini on the HBO mob series. “He was never locked up in this trailer,” Miranda said of Gandolfini in Judd Apatow’s new book, “Sicker in the Head: More Conversations About Life and Comedy.”“He [Gandolfini] was just out, and people would talk to him,” Miranda added, noting the actor’s kindness.
Jem Aswad Senior Music EditorBarcelona-born singer Rosalia seemed to progress ahead of her own albums: While her debut was essentially the straight traditional flamenco she spent years learning, and the second saw her fusing that style with more contemporary sounds, her guest appearances (with artists ranging from J Balvin, Ozuna and Bad Bunny to the Weeknd, Billie Eilish and Travis Scott) and her recent singles have seen her fully embracing innovative, envelope-pushing sounds ranging from reggaetón to hip-hop to pop.It was all prelude for the wildly diverse “Motomami,” which brings her roaring into now — it’s as musically innovative an album as we’ve heard in the past year. It finds her delivering on all the promise and innovation that those releases suggested and plenty more as well, while still keeping the sound rooted in her stunning voice (and singing entirely in Spanish).
