Dad-to-be Clay Aiken got a chance to practice his kid skills this summer as he spent five days touring Somalia observing UNICEF programs.

The UNICEF Ambassador spent time with Somali children, and got to see first-hand programs to improve child health, safe water, sanitation and hygiene, primary education, child protection and girls’ empowerment.

Clay said about his tour of the country, "It’s truly remarkable that UNICEF is still able to make a difference in the health, education and overall well-being of Somali children."

Britney at the 2008 VMAs? The busy pop star’s "Piece of Me" has just been nominated for Best Female Video — as voted online by the fans — for the 2008 MTV Video Music Awards, airing live from Paramount Studios in Hollywood on September 7.

Only ET has the complete list nominees for Best Female Video: Britney’s up against tough competition in Katy Perry ("I Kissed a Girl"), Jordin Sparks ("No Air"), Rihanna ("Take a Bow") and Mariah Carey ("Touch My Body").

Last year Britney delivered a controversial "comeback" performance at the VMAs in Las Vegas that some described as lackluster, leaving the open question: Will Britney perform live at the show this year — and will it win the world over?

New video: Elton John played his 50th U.S. state last night — Vermont — and Ben & Jerry’s honored the music legend with his own ice cream flavor — Goodbye Yellow Brickle Road!

"When I was born, I never thought I’d be an ice cream! I’ve had an amazing life," Elton John says about the honor in our video.

The ice cream, a yummy blend of chocolate ice cream, peanut butter cookie dough, butter brickle and white chocolate chunks, will be sold for a limited time only — from July 18-25 — in the Green Mountain state’s Ben & Jerry’s locations, and all the proceeds will benefit the Elton John Aids Foundation. The scoop shops will also play Elton’s CD Rocket Man: The Definitive Hits, and his 60th birthday concert DVD.

Kid Rock was fined $1,000 and sentenced to one year’s probation for his role in a fight at a Waffle House in Atlanta last fall, reports the Associated Press.

The 37-year-old rocker, whose real name is Robert J. Ritchie, pleaded no contest to one count of simple battery and was also sentenced to six hours of anger management counseling and tasked to perform 80 hours of community service, says the DeKalb County solicitor’s office.

It was about 5 a.m. on Oct. 21 when Kid’s tour bus stopped at the Waffle House for a bite after a performance and the performer got into a brawl with a male customer that led to his arrest and a short stay in jail on misdemeanor charges of simple battery.

Singer tells fans Obama should team up with Hillary.

Rock star George Michael told fans during a performance in New York that he would like to see Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama team up with Hillary Clinton to try to bring about change in America, Reuters reports.

I know you guys all need a change, he told the crowd at Madison Square Garden, according to Reuters. The 45-year-old British singer then told fans that while he is not sure what changes an Obama presidency would actually bring, he thinks teaming up with Hillary would be a major asset.

Michael said Obama has already shown his toughness just for being in the campaign against a strong opponent like Hillary Clinton.

Miley Cyrus goes on the record with "Good Morning America," speaking in an exclusive interview for the first time since her Vanity Fair shoot — calling the provocative pics "a mistake."

"I think I was just in a stage where I was just trying to get things done, and maybe look for an older audience. I was working with a big magazine just trying to go with what they were saying," she told Robin Roberts this morning about the shots that caused a storm of controversy for the teen star.

"It’s something where everyone made a mistake," she said.

After dabbling in acting and gospel music, country superstar Randy Travis is back with his first new country album in eight years called Around the Bend. Now, the Grammy winner is talking to ET about his start in a tiny bar in North Carolina and his early obsession with drugs and alcohol.

"It was just, every upper, downer, anything I could find," he says. "I was using any and everything I could get my hands on in those days."

Now sober for many years, the Always and Forever crooner is ready to reclaim his country title.

Employing the example of Alexander the Great in opera seria, this essay reconsiders the performance of heroic roles in the 18th century. One of its aims is to extend our current understanding of Baroque gesture by taking seriously what contemporary acting tutors and treatises say: a complete performance is possible only after careful study of gesture in painting and statuary. An examination of Alexander iconography suggests both specific tactics for the singer, director and designer; and, more importantly, a broader agenda: the representation of Alexander’s essential grandeur. A second goal is to determine to what extent our performances today of Alexander and other operatic heroes can be shaped by comprehension of their significance and meanings for those who created and consumed heroic art in the 18th century. These heroes were (and are) not interchangeable, not simply emblems, but rather, individuals whose stories conjured up a host of resonances specific to each. We might portray them accordingly. Finally, the article explores some of the aesthetic and philosophical questions raised by this kind of historical approach.

On the richly travelled medieval road from Paris to Lyon, the city of Troyes, in Champagne, was probably the most important stop. The town was a major administrative and religious centre: it boasted a cathedral, several collegiate churches (at one of which, St John’s, King Henry V of England married Catherine of Valois in 1421) and a great number of parish churches.

The rich archives of these various establishments are kept today in the Archives départementales de l’Aube at Troyes, but do not appear to have been scrutinized by music historians since the appearance, more than 100 years ago, of Abbé Arthur Prévost’s Histoire de la maîtrise de la cathédrale de Troyes (1905). Renewed examination in the summer of 2006 has brought to light several documents of more than passing interest to the history of music.

Johannes Ockeghem held a canonry in absentia at Troyes Cathedral between 1457 and 1467, though it seems that the chapter was not especially happy to be able to count the composer among their number, and was looking for ways to encourage him to resign. Josquin visited Troyes on at least two occasions, in 1499 and 1501, and Antoine Brumel had done the same in 1497. There is reason to believe that these visits were more than overnight lodgings en route to other destinations. There appears to have been a tradition of singers’ meetings in the residence of the choirmaster of Troyes Cathedral—meetings of the kind that must have prompted, at much earlier dates, the composition of works like Compère’s Omnium bonorum plena and Josquin’s Illibata Dei virgo nutrix.

This article argues that a neume fragment found in the famous ‘Durham Cassiodorus’ (Durham, Cathedral Library, Ms.b.ii.30) may date from the first half of the 8th century. As part of this argument, I suggest the possibility of notated music in Anglo-Saxon England prior to the 10th century. Since the Durham Cassiodorus was likely read by Alcuin of York who played an important part in the Carolingian liturgical reform, the Durham Cassiodorus neume fragment may be linked to Alcuin and to what Kenneth Levy has called a ‘Carolingian archetype’, that is, a now-lost antiphoner with music compiled around 800. Other unreported English neume fragments found in the 8th-century ‘Tiberius Bede’ (London, British Library, Cotton Tiberius c.ii) are presented here.

Evidence of provenance and bibliographic features suggest that three autograph symphonies of Ignace Pleyel from the collection of the Royal Philharmonic Society in the British Library are the works he composed in London in 1792, when he was engaged by the Professional Concert as a rival to Haydn in the latter’s appearances for Salomon. Details of their performance in the succeeding decade support the case. In the E symphony Pleyel anticipates features later used by Haydn in his symphony no.103.

This article introduces a newly discovered manuscript dated 1760 (which is the property of the author) of the sacred cantatas of Elisabeth Jacquet de la Guerre and René Drouard de Bousset, which had been published earlier in the 18th century. As the only known secondary source of La Guerre’s cantatas, the variant readings between the printed and manuscript versions are discussed, and the fine, but little-known, cantatas of De Bousset are surveyed. The late copy date is remarkable, for it is generally considered that the French sacred cantata repertory fell out of favour by c.1745–50 at the latest. The author suggests that the writings of Titon du Tillet (including Le Parnasse François (Paris, 1732)), Daquin and others contributed to an ongoing interest, amongst select circles, in the repertory of the ‘ancien musique’ well into the 1760s. Musical examples are included, both in facsimile and modern transcriptions, as well as a Critical Commentary giving the most significant differences between the manuscript and printed versions of La Guerre’s cantatas. The illustrations include photographs of the manuscript itself, and various engraved portraits from Titon du Tillet’s Parnasse François, including that of La Guerre.

Early 17th-century English lute song represents a perfect fusion of words and music, simultaneously conceived by poets and composers with a deep instinctive understanding of each other’s business. This is a critical commonplace with heavy implications for performers. To avoid distracting attention away from the words, musical settings were kept as simple as possible. To facilitate simple strophic setting the poets made sure that each stanza of a multi-stanza poem followed the same metrical scheme, and they naturally assumed that composers would follow it too. The Golden Age achievement relied on collective self-restraint (not too much self-expression or ‘interpretation’ therefore); and when Henry Lawes and other cavalier composers of masque songs and masque-inspired opera abandoned that restraint the Golden Age was over. Henry Purcell had to start again from scratch. Little of this turns out to be true. ‘A mangled chime’ looks again at the relationship between words and music in 17th-century England, suggesting a more complicated system of interplay between the two. Compositional technique was a mystery to most lyricists even at the height of the Golden Age, and as the century unfolded they found words matching the formal ambitions of contemporary theatre composers harder and harder to write. By 1680–90 (the decade of Venus and Adonis and Dido and Aeneas) the result was a peculiarly English approach to word-setting in which musical sound, though it echoed poetical sense, frequently obliterated poetic structure; a theory of English opera thoroughly confused in its aesthetic aims; and (in consequence) an uncoordinated response to opera seria when the Italian invasion began soon afterwards. Because Golden Age reserve inhibited frank negotiation between composers and poets it masked the composers’ textual needs in dramatic rather than lyrical situations and it led—via hugely resourceful but non-confrontational Lawes—to the overthrow of native English opera a century later.

Because English solo songs from the Golden Age period (c.1600–20) are chiefly familiar from printed books clearly intended for domestic use, modern scholars and performers have tended to assume that composers had the literary interests, practical needs and technical limitations of upper-class amateurs in mind right from the start of the creative process. According to this view, lute ayres are the musical equivalents of early 17th-century miniature portraits: objets d’art for personal contemplation (the self-accompanying singer) or special sharing with special friends. This article explores the lute song repertory from a different angle, as the domesticated tip of a professional and (at the time) a publicly appreciable iceberg much of which melted away with the professional performers originally responsible for its semi-improvisatory effectiveness. The manuscript Oxford, Christ Church Mus.439 is studied in particular—a source with probable professional provenance, preserving some highly ornamented versions of songs now much better known in their plainer printed versions and (at the other extreme) some songs from which the fully written-out lute parts familiar from the printed books have been removed. What sorts of alternative were improvised in their place? While lute song publishers assumed a ‘minimalist aesthetic’ and sensibly encouraged their customers to do the same, lute song composers were aware of other possibilities and those with a theatrical leaning (Campion, Rosseter, Johnson, for instance) might even have preferred them. Today’s historically informed performers have a wider range of interpretative choice legitimately open to them than perhaps they realize.

The release of Da Ya Think Im Sexy not only marked a turning point in Rods musical styles, it also sealed the singer”s image as a swaggering, preening ladies” man with the tabloids. The critics turned on his more pop-sounding approach as a sell-out to that era”s disco trend.

Video games during my childhood and teenage years seem prehistoric when compared to contemporary video games systems. The first system I owned when I was in elementary school was an Atari. Then later down the road, video games systems evolved into Nintendo. These games are obsolete in comparison to modern systems, but they represent the evolution of video games into their present status. This evolution will only continue and you can expect more exciting developments to video games systems. Hop online and discover the latest games, models, and accessories.

There?s talk of a new album. For the meantime, get this magnificent masterpiece and play very very loud indeed.

Gillett is an inspiring guide along a vast and wonderful shore.

This album is always going to have too much of an abrasive edge for it to become dinner party or furniture showroom music.

Mick Mars (Motley Cre): Mostly thought of as a fair to middling heavy metal guitarist, Mick Mars phrasing is perfect for the Cres sound. Chunky, dirty and staccato at times, it still manages to be melodic. Upstaged by Vince Neil, Nikki Sixx and Tommy Lee and their bad-boy images, Mick stays cool and aloof behind his powerful music. Despite the darkness inherent in some of their tunes, you cannot fail to be uplifted by Mick Mars musical skills.

There?s talk of a new album. For the meantime, get this magnificent masterpiece and play very very loud indeed.

Gillett is an inspiring guide along a vast and wonderful shore.

This album is always going to have too much of an abrasive edge for it to become dinner party or furniture showroom music.

Exit Strategy Of The Soul is a slow-burning treat, another most enjoyable well-kept secret.

Everyone needs a little sunshine in their life.

Branching off from the security of working from home, Hymel first opened his school at 601 Terry Parkway in Gretna, LA, in an area commonly known as Terrytown. What started as a handful of students quickly blossomed into a full school of music with 280 students strong and has had to relocate to a larger building at 1800 Stumph Boulevard. Predominantly a guitar teacher, he also teaches piano and bass. His drum instructor, Jumpin Joe Gelini, graduated from Berklee School of Music in Boston, a great accomplishment considering only 2% of those who attend Berklee actually graduate. The school has a wide variety of teachers, including band directors and vocal coaches, covering several instruments and genres. Even Hymels high school guitar teacher from Holy Cross is on the payroll!

Dad-to-be Clay Aiken got a chance to practice his kid skills this summer as he spent five days touring Somalia observing UNICEF programs.

The UNICEF Ambassador spent time with Somali children, and got to see first-hand programs to improve child health, safe water, sanitation and hygiene, primary education, child protection and girls’ empowerment.

Clay said about his tour of the country, "It’s truly remarkable that UNICEF is still able to make a difference in the health, education and overall well-being of Somali children."

Will it be "Hit Me Baby One More Time" for
Britney at the 2008 VMAs? The busy pop star’s "Piece of Me" has just been nominated for Best Female Video — as voted online by the fans — for the 2008 MTV Video Music Awards, airing live from Paramount Studios in Hollywood on September 7.

Only ET has the complete list nominees for Best Female Video: Britney’s up against tough competition in Katy Perry ("I Kissed a Girl"), Jordin Sparks ("No Air"), Rihanna ("Take a Bow") and Mariah Carey ("Touch My Body").

Last year Britney delivered a controversial "comeback" performance at the VMAs in Las Vegas that some described as lackluster, leaving the open question: Will Britney perform live at the show this year — and will it win the world over?

New video: Elton John played his 50th U.S. state last night — Vermont — and Ben & Jerry’s honored the music legend with his own ice cream flavor — Goodbye Yellow Brickle Road!

"When I was born, I never thought I’d be an ice cream! I’ve had an amazing life," Elton John says about the honor in our video.

The ice cream, a yummy blend of chocolate ice cream, peanut butter cookie dough, butter brickle and white chocolate chunks, will be sold for a limited time only — from July 18-25 — in the Green Mountain state’s Ben & Jerry’s locations, and all the proceeds will benefit the Elton John Aids Foundation. The scoop shops will also play Elton’s CD Rocket Man: The Definitive Hits, and his 60th birthday concert DVD.

Kid Rock was fined $1,000 and sentenced to one year’s probation for his role in a fight at a Waffle House in Atlanta last fall, reports the Associated Press.

The 37-year-old rocker, whose real name is Robert J. Ritchie, pleaded no contest to one count of simple battery and was also sentenced to six hours of anger management counseling and tasked to perform 80 hours of community service, says the DeKalb County solicitor’s office.

It was about 5 a.m. on Oct. 21 when Kid’s tour bus stopped at the Waffle House for a bite after a performance and the performer got into a brawl with a male customer that led to his arrest and a short stay in jail on misdemeanor charges of simple battery.

Singer tells fans Obama should team up with Hillary.

Rock star George Michael told fans during a performance in New York that he would like to see Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama team up with Hillary Clinton to try to bring about change in America, Reuters reports.

I know you guys all need a change, he told the crowd at Madison Square Garden, according to Reuters. The 45-year-old British singer then told fans that while he is not sure what changes an Obama presidency would actually bring, he thinks teaming up with Hillary would be a major asset.

Michael said Obama has already shown his toughness just for being in the campaign against a strong opponent like Hillary Clinton.

Miley Cyrus goes on the record with "Good Morning America," speaking in an exclusive interview for the first time since her Vanity Fair shoot — calling the provocative pics "a mistake."

"I think I was just in a stage where I was just trying to get things done, and maybe look for an older audience. I was working with a big magazine just trying to go with what they were saying," she told Robin Roberts this morning about the shots that caused a storm of controversy for the teen star.

"It’s something where everyone made a mistake," she said.

After dabbling in acting and gospel music, country superstar Randy Travis is back with his first new country album in eight years called Around the Bend. Now, the Grammy winner is talking to ET about his start in a tiny bar in North Carolina and his early obsession with drugs and alcohol.

"It was just, every upper, downer, anything I could find," he says. "I was using any and everything I could get my hands on in those days."

Now sober for many years, the Always and Forever crooner is ready to reclaim his country title.

Ruby Fleetwood, the 6-year-old daughter of musician Mick Fleetwood, was hospitalized at Cedars Sinai Pediatric ICU after losing consciousness in a swimming pool, a spokesman tells ET.

The family says Ruby was discovered unconscious on a playdate Friday after doing somersaults in a pool. (She was not doing cartwheels as some Web reports have claimed.) She was revived by CPR and rushed to West Hills Hospital before being transferred to Cedars Sinai.

"Ruby was the
victim of an accident that is potentially extremely serious, but she is doing
quite well and the medical staff here at Cedars is optimistic that she will make
a full recovery," Dr. Keith Kimble said in a statement.

Blake Fielder-Civil, Amy Winehouse’s husband, will spend the next 27 months in jail for assault and obstructing justice, according to the Associated Press.

Amy notoriously gave a shout out to her "Blake incarcerated" after her Grammy win earlier this year. He was arrested in November after admitting to beating up a pub manager in a bar brawl and then offering him $400,000 in hush money.

Judge David Radford reportedly told the 26-year-old that he behaved in a "gratuitous, cowardly and disgraceful" way, according to the AP.
