Of months, charts and the Super Bowl

Around the Entertainment Globe

5 Daughter of late international musical icon Whitney Houston, Bobbi Kristina Brown, is now battling for life in Hospital. The 21 year old is in a medically-induced coma, after she was found unconscious in a tub full of water on Saturday. A chilling mystery surrounds the incident, as the circumstances are similar to those under which Whitney Houston died almost three years ago.

4 The Jamaica Jazz and Blues Festival, which took place over the weekend, is still on the lips of many, especially Mariah Carey’s performance. While some patrons say it was a good performance, many have criticised her for lip-syncing, and for being off-key when she did use her voice.

3 Some of us don’t understand the game that is played at the Super Bowl each year, but we do know that there is always an epic half-time performance. Entertainers always try to outdo previous year’s performer. This year’s headline act was Katy Perry, and she delivered a full set, performing hits such as Firework, California Girls, I Kissed A Girl and Teenage Dream. Her costumes, dancers and props were sure head turners, and guest performers Lenny Kravitz and Missy Elliot were great additions to her set.

2 American Beauty/ American Psycho debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 chart, finally ending Taylor Swift’s 1989 reign. The album, done by American punk-pop band Fall Out Boy, was preceded by one of its tracks, Centuries, which has been doing well for itself. This album is the group’s second in recent times, and is looking to be their most successful yet.

1 It is the Black History Month, and also Reggae month. This year is even more special, as there are ongoing celebrations of what would have been Bob Marley’s 70th birthday this year. The Bob Marley Museum has been refurbished for the celebrations, and there is to be a massive concert on the Waterfront in Downtown Kingston this Saturday, featuring local and international reggae artistes. There also concerts in celebration of Reggae Month each Wednesday in February at the Ranny Williams Entertainment Centre in St Andrew. The concerts focussed on the lineage and family connections withing the genre.
