“The Masked Singer” season 11 debuted another quartet of contestants on March 20. Of these new contenders for the Golden Mask, our favorite is the one disguised as Poodle Moth. She won over the crowd and the judges with her cover of the Billy Joel classic “Just the Way You Are.”
We’ve been rewatching that performance and her clues video. While we think that Poodle Moth is a professional singer we don’t agree with the judges that it is Wynonna Judd, Rita Wilson or Trisha Yearwood. Keep reading for all your “The Masked Singer” spoilers including the answer to the question, “Who is Poodle Moth”?
We are convinced that Poodle Moth is Chrissy Metz. Although best known for her starring role in the TV drama “This Is Us,” Metz is also a talented singer, focusing on inspirational music.

I throw around the concept of “Grammy darlings” a lot, but what exactly constitutes a Grammy darling? Is it just an artist who doesn’t lose Grammys often, like U2, Adele or Bruno Mars? Let’s go through a few top names.
Beyoncé: Darling
Listen, the most awarded person in Grammy history is definitely a darling. Granted, she has yet to win Album of the Year. However, more impressively, all of her projects have won at least one Grammy. Most have won multiple, including “Dangerously in Love,” “Lemonade,” and “Renaissance.” Beyoncé also gets nominations for pretty much anything she submits, and will likely become the first artist to nab nominations in rap, rock, R&b, dance, pop and country. On top of all that, it’s rare for Beyoncé to miss nominations in the general field, especially with no nominations review committees anymore to potentially force her out.

Billy Joel took the stage to perform at the Grammy Awards for the first time in more than two decades on Sunday night.
Living up to his Piano Man nickname, he sat behind a piano to perform “Turn the Lights Back On,” his new single — and his first in decades — which was released Feb. 1. He was backed by a string orchestra as he sang the song at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles.
The singer closed out the show with his classic hit “You May Be Right,” following Celine Dion’s presentation of the album of year award to Taylor Swift. The lively performance featured him again behind a piano.
Joel, 74, last performed at the Grammys in 2002, when he and Tony Bennett duetted on “New York State of Mind.”

The 41-year-old is said to have spent Christmas and New Years away from Bruno, amid the reports about their shaky relationship, reports Mirror.co.uk.
Sources told The Sun: “Bruno Mars and Jessica barely spend time together anymore — it is really sad. They are living separate lives so it doesn’t bode well for their relationship. It feels like things are fizzling out between them.”
“They have so much history together but we aren’t sure whether they will be able to save things this time,” an insider explained.

Bruno Mars is at ease behind a bar - his bar. He's armed with a bottle of premixed shooters, his SelvaRey Rum the star ingredient, while stationed across from an array of fans and press, many who are recording the enviable encounter. Mars makes small talk as he hands out lowball glasses of the shots to the excited first patrons of his SelvaRey Rum pop-up bar at the luxury Fairmont Orchid resort on the Big Island, Hawaii. "Is this your first time in Hawaii?" he posits to one attendee, before making a quip that his on-theme Hawaiian shirt was picked up at the airport.
The shooters go down easy and smooth - thanks, of course, to the award-winning SelvaRey, which launched in 2014 but Mars bought into later. SelvaRey currently has four offerings: white rum, chocolate rum, a coconut rum, and their Owner's Reserve, crafted...

Paul McCartney has written many of the most iconic songs in music history. However, in an industry as competitive as music, there are times when he’s heard a track and become envious that he didn’t think of it first. While the former Beatle doesn’t have much to be jealous about, there are a few songs he wishes were his.
Paul McCartney | Frank Micelotta/Getty Images Here are 4 songs by other musicians that Paul McCartney wishes he had written ‘Stardust’ – Hoagy Carmichael
It would’ve been tough for Paul McCartney to develop this song first, considering he wasn’t alive. “Stardust” is a 1927 song by Hoagy Carmichael with lyrics by Mitchell Parish. It’s become a standard track for many musicians to learn and has been recorded over 1,500 times as an instrumental or vocal track.

Singer Billy Joel welcomed surprise guest Olivia Rodrigo during his 82nd consecutive sold-out show at New York’s Madison Square Garden for runs through her hit single ‘Deja Vu’ and his own 1983 smash ‘Uptown Girl’ released nearly 20 years before Rodrigo was even born.
Decked up in a plunging black top, a brown patterned skirt and black leather boots, Rodrigo saluted Joel’s influence on her songwriting with ‘Deja Vu’, which references both Joel and ‘Uptown Girl’.
The pair embraced warmly following the latter.
Beyond a steady stream of hits such as ‘Just the Way You Are’, ‘Allentown’, ‘Only the Good Die Young’ and ‘My Life’, Wednesday’s show included rarities such as the opening ‘A Matter of Trust’, ‘I Go to Extremes’ and ‘The Downeaster Alexa’, reports Variety.

A perfect mixture of soul and pop, Adele’s “21” became a signature album for the 21st century. Along with its massive sales figures and universal acclaim, “21” picked up many awards, and the Grammys were no different. At the 2012 Grammy Awards she took home six trophies, sweeping all of her categories and tying Beyonce‘s record as the most awarded woman in one night. That night Adele entered the Grammys history books and the Grammy darling was officially born.

A year later, he released an equally sturdy follow-up (2018’s Last Man Standing), and after detouring with his collection of Sinatra standards, the 86-year-old legend is back with Ride Me Back Home, yet another collection of late-life wisdoms and honky-truths.

Amy Schumer revealed her breakthrough scientific study on the booty-poop connection with her song parody "Milk Milk Lemonade," which had fun with booty anthems, Sophie's "Lemonade" and bodily fluids. Now the "Inside Amy Schumer" star has a boy band song that helps to inform the girl that she's beautiful inside, and she doesn't need that "goop" she calls makeup. If the tune sounds familiar, that's because it's batting awfully close to One Direction's "What Makes You Beautiful." Schumer toys with the notion that dudes who prefer "no makeup" might not actually know what that really looks like, but thematically her song pounds away at these "I see you're beauty, even if you don't" feel-good tunes so very condescending. "You're turning heads when you walk through the door / Don't need make-up, to cover up / Being the way that you are is enough / Everyone else in the room can see it / Everyone else but you.

And then Lauren was a bit under the weather this week, but Cheryl brought it up. You can't say one thing and then do the other, it's not really fair. But it is what it is, it's happened,...

Speaking on The Xtra Factor, Friedman said: "Maybe Louis shouldn't have cut the dancers last night and then maybe the boys would have had some fun on stage."
Speaking about the last-minute change, he said: "It was just one of those changes that you find out about before the show - Louis didn't want the dancers anymore."
Louis Walsh on Stereo Kicks exit: 'Everybody made a mistake'
He added: "You would have seen the boys having fun. They each had a girl to interact with on stage and when the girls went away, it just sort of sucked...

Tulisa Contostavlos returned to The X Factor this week to help the last band standing, Stereo Kicks.
As part of this week's Jukebox theme, the former judge was given the responsibility of choosing one of Stereo Kicks' songs for the weekend and picked the Bruno Mars track 'Just the Way You Are'.
However, it seems Contostavlos took her role very seriously, as she was photographed helping out the eight-piece boyband at a London recording studio on Wednesday.
Of course, Contostavlos already knows the boys as she helped their mentor Louis Walsh at Judges' Houses in Bermuda.
And Stereo Kicks should probably listen to her advice, as she mentored Little Mix - the only group ever to win The X Factor.
"I'm proud to be part of the X Factor family and I'm very excited to be involved this year," Contostavlos has said. "I was more than happy...

The Grammy Awards governing body, the Recording Academy, has never been one to make rash decisions when it comes to modifying the awards procedure, so here, in 2014, they have made a major decision regarding sampling: Starting with the Feb. 8, 2015 Grammy Awards, songs that include samples or interpolations of previously written songs will be allowed in all songwriting categories, including the coveted Song of the Year. Is this a good decision? I’m not so sure. In some ways, the Grammys are so cautious in making changes that they miss the cultural significance of that musical moment (and that is partially the Grammys’ point: they aren’t meant to bow to trends or fads). On the plus side, this is simply an acknowledgement that a new, creative work that stands on its own that uses a sample to add some zing or to salute an influence, shouldn’t be exempt because of the sample.

Billy Joel first hit the Top 40 in 1973 with the classic “Piano Man,” and over the next 20 years would rack up 33 top 40 hits, including 13 Top Tens and 3 #1′s (“It’s Still Rock And Roll To Me,” “Tell Her About It,” “We Didn’t Start The Fire”).
Billy’s last pop album was 1993′s River Of Dreams, but he’s still made his presence known over the last two decades, primarily on the concert stage, including a series of “Face-To-Face” tours with Elton John.
Billy’s music has always been a presence in my life, and i’m sure many others. Picking his best songs is difficult, but for his 65th birthday today, I narrowed it down to my top five.

Bruno Mars kicked off the Super Bowl halftime show to his own beat, performing in the drummer's seat for millions of people watching across the world. It wasn't long until the singer's moving platform approached the main stage, where he busted out renditions of "Locked Out of Heaven" and "Treasure." Bruno and his dapper backup band wore matching metallic jackets, which were inevitably outshined by the Red Hot Chili Peppers' bare chests - the guys hit the stage shirtless! Lead singer Anthony Kiedis sang "Give It Away," one of the band's biggest hits. The performance got emotional when members of the Us military shared sweet messages in a short video. The patriotic messages provided the introduction to Bruno's "Just the Way You Are," which wrapped up the performance. Bruno brought some lively entertainment to the game, which was a blowout dominated by the Seattle Seahawks over the Denver Broncos.

Film-maker behind ground-breaking international smash hit that brought domestic gay relationships to the mainstream
Édouard Molinaro, the French film director behind the pioneering gay farce La Cage aux Folles, has died at the age of 85 from lung failure.
La Cage aux Folles, itself based on a play by Jean Poiret, starred Michel Serrault and Ugo Tognazzi as a long-term gay couple, one of whose children plans to get married to a stuffy politician's daughter. The pair must conceal their relationship when the prospective in-laws come for dinner. The film was released in 1978 to considerable box office success, in the Us as well as Europe, and broke new ground in the mainstream acceptance of a screen portrayal of domestic gay relationship. It was remade in 1990 as The Birdcage with Nathan Lane and Robin Williams in the lead roles.

The X Factor final is only two weeks away, but one of the remaining five contestants will fail to reach the epic heights scaled by Christopher Maloney, Eoghan Quigg, et al after falling victim to this week's 'Musical Heroes' special.
Tonight, Sam Bailey, Tamera and co will attempt to secure a place in the semi-finals by singing tracks from their favourite artists, as well as a second song chosen by you! So any comments from the judges about song choice should be taken as a personal slight.
Join Digital Spy from 8pm as we experience the highs, lows and fluffled lyrics (Tamera's got two whole songs, it's inevitable) of 'Jukebox Week'.
21:46Tomorrow's results show sees 'two of X Factor's finest' performing, Rebecca Ferguson (fair enough, she's really nice) and James Arthur (....oh). Thanks for joining us on the live blog tonight, guys. Feel free to keep on commenting...
