Lionel Richie released a documentary on Netflix called The Greatest Night in Pop about the making of We Are the World.
They share a lot of things we didn’t know about that night. For example, we learned that the producers had to choose between Madonna and Cyndi Lauper, and the boys just wanted to have fun with the latter girl. But they didn’t tell us why.
Yesterday, when the Commodore was on Jimmy Kimmel Live, the host asked him why. He explained, “Because we only had half a line to sing. Let me say this now, ‘A half a line!’ So we had to have voices that people knew right away.”
And let’s be honest, Cyndi’s voice is much more recognizable than Madonna’s. Plus, in 1985, both singers were equally as famous.
And Lauper almost thought she was too famous to do it. Richie shared with Kimmel that she told him at the American Music Awards, right before the recording, that her boyfriend didn’t think it was a hit. Thankfully, she didn’t listen to him because her half a line stood out.
And the rest is music history.
Oh, and Madonna was not the only one who missed out. Kimmel revealed that Eddie Murphy was invited. But opted not to sing along. And yes, he regrets it, as he should.
Richard Marx shared a video of himself drinking his morning coffee without a shirt, and I can’t believe he is 60 years old. Because it looks like Father Time has been right here waiting for him to age since he first sang Hold On to the Nights.
It is seriously a hazard for a man to look that sexy topless at any age!
Back in the ’80s, fans of British Pop had posters of Howard Jones and Depeche Mode on their walls. But they never saw their favorite artists together.
Well, things can only get better for those who wait. Because Howard Jones just can’t get enough of the fast fashion band, so he went to see them in concert in Berlin.
And we got this photo of the singer, 68, showing everlasting love for Martin Gore, 62, from Depeche.
Could you imagine the music these two men could create with their love for electronic pop? It would be the song of the year! Hopefully, they will do it!
Zendaya is a fashion designer’s Barbie when it comes to playing dress up. And tonight, at the London premiere for Dune: Part 2, she looked out of this world in a vintage Mugler silver metallic bodysuit from the Fall Winter 1995-1996 collection.
The Silver Robot number has perfectly placed holes, which left very little to the imagination. And the boys out there were using their imaginations because their Robot fantasy could finally come true, thanks to the actress.
This is styling, which will be talked about for many years to come.
