Millie Bobby Brown knows what it’s like to grow up under a microscope after catapulting to fame for her role in Netflix’s Stranger Things, so it’s no surprise she once felt a connection to pop icon Britney Spears, who also found herself navigating worldwide stardom as a teenager.

While Brown has expressed interest in portraying the pop icon previously, she’s now making it clear: Spears’ story is one only Spears herself should tell.

Speaking at the Los Angeles premiere of The Electric State on Feb. 24, Brown revisited whether she’d like to play Spears in an upcoming biopic in an interview with Access Hollywood. “I mean, she is an absolute icon. I would love nothing more than to be a part of her story,” Brown said. “But that’s her story, and I am in full support of her bringing her story to life how she wants to.”

Trending on Billboard

Brown’s comments come after a 2022 appearance on The Drew Barrymore Show, where she first revealed that her “dream role” would be playing Spears on screen. At the time, she explained why she felt connected to the singer’s journey.

“Growing up in the public eye, watching her videos, watching interviews of her when she was young… I see the scramble for words,” she told Barrymore. “And I don’t know her, but when I look at pictures of her, I feel like I could tell her story in the right way — and hers only.”

The response from Spears was swift. The following day, the “Toxic” singer took to Instagram with a post many assumed was directed at Brown. “I hear about people wanting to do movies about my life… dude, I’m not dead!!!” she wrote.

Since then, Spears has taken control of her own narrative. Universal Pictures secured the rights to her best-selling memoir The Woman in Me and announced in August 2024 that a biopic was officially in development, directed by Wicked filmmaker Jon M. Chu.

Spears herself confirmed the news, writing on X, “Excited to share with my fans that I’ve been working on a secret project with #MarcPlatt. He’s always made my favorite movies … stay tuned.”

Meanwhile, The Electric State, Brown’s latest film, arrives on Netflix on March 14.

Olivia Kuper Harris didn’t just step onto The Voice stage—she transported it to another era. Taking on Doris Day’s timeless ballad “Dream a Little Dream of Me,” the Dallas-born singer draped the room in nostalgia, delivering a performance so rich and velvety it felt like a lost recording from jazz’s golden age.

John Legend, Adam Levine, and Kelsea Ballerini couldn’t resist.

Legend was the first to turn his chair, drawn in by Harris’ effortless control. Levine wasn’t far behind, nudging Ballerini to do the same. “What are you waiting for?” he asked, prompting her to hit her button.

Trending on Billboard

“I don’t know! You’re so right,” Ballerini admitted.

As the final note hung in the air, Levine turned to Harris with a grin. “You’re really special,” he said, making it clear she had impressed him. Then, in true Adam fashion, he took a playful jab at his fellow Coach. “And Michael Bublé is a fool.”

Legend, ever the strategist, made his pitch. “What got me at first was just the beauty of your tone,” he said on the warmth and elegance Harris brought to the song. Ballerini added that Harris’ voice had a rare quality—something that could transcend genres and connect with all types of listeners.

Harris, overwhelmed with emotion, took a deep breath. She had come looking for a sign, a confirmation that this was the path she was meant to follow. “Being on stage, I feel like it’s my purpose in life,” she said. “It makes me emotional because I’ve looked for so many other things I could possibly do… and this is it, man.”

With three Coaches vying for her, the decision was hers.

Ultimately, it was Legend’s pitch that resonated most with Harris. She joined his team, adding another unique voice to his roster for The Voice Season 27.

Harris’ audition stood out not just for its technical precision but for its ability to evoke an era long past. While many hopefuls lean into pop, R&B, or powerhouse ballads, Harris took a different route—one that paid off in a big way.

As the competition heats up, it remains to be seen how Harris will evolve under Legend’s mentorship. But if her Blind Audition was any indication, The Voice might have just found its next great jazz revivalist.

Six powerhouse women – Doja Cat, Cynthia Erivo, Ariana Grande, LISA of BLACKPINK, Queen Latifah and Raye – will perform at the 2025 Oscars on Sunday, March 2, at the Dolby Theatre at Ovation Hollywood. The show also will feature a special appearance by the Los Angeles Master Chorale.
Erivo and Grande are 2025 Oscar nominees for their roles in Wicked. Queen Latifah was nominated in 2003 for her role in Chicago.

Trending on Billboard

Erivo and Grande are expected to open the Oscar telecast with one or more songs from Wicked. All of the songs featured in Wicked were taken from the Broadway musical, so none were nominated for best original song, but the score by John Powell and Stephen Schwartz was nominated for best original score. Wicked received a total of 10 nominations.

The other women are expected to participate in “performances celebrating the filmmaking community and some of its legends.”

When the Oscars announced that this year’s nominees for best original song would not be performed on the telecast (but that there would instead be a single spot focused on the songwriters of those songs), some feared that music would get short shrift on the awards show. This announcement proves that that is not the case.

Oscar producers historically have focused on the best original song nominees, but they have been known to pivot when doing so would yield a prized booking. Three years ago, the Oscars featured a performance of the Encanto song “We Don’t Talk About Bruno,” which topped the Billboard Hot 100 for five weeks, even though that song had not been submitted for Oscar consideration and was not nominated.

Raye performed her song “Oscar Winning Tears,” from her album My 21st Century Blues, on the Grammy telecast on Feb. 2, where she was a best new artist nominee. Raj Kapoor, executive producer and showrunner of the 2025 Oscars, was an executive producer of this year’s Grammy telecast as well. These bookings constitute major coups for the British star, who swept the Brit Awards a year ago.

Kapoor and Oscars executive producer Katy Mullan will continue to announce talent joining the show leading up to the ceremony.

Hosted by Conan O’Brien, the 2025 Oscars will air live on ABC and stream live on Hulu on Sunday, March 2, at 7 p.m. ET/4 p.m. PT, with the official live red carpet show airing at 6:30 p.m. ET/3:30 p.m. PT.

The 2025 American Music Awards (AMAs) is set to air live from Las Vegas on Memorial Day, Monday, May 26. The special will air live coast-to-coast at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT on CBS and stream on Paramount+.
It will be the first yearly AMAs show since the one that aired on ABC on Nov. 20, 2022, with Wayne Brady hosting.

The 2025 AMAs will broadcast globally across linear and digital platforms and will honor the most popular songs and artists of the year while paying tribute to our country’s troops. CBS’ intention is for the AMAs to air on Memorial Day going forward.

Trending on Billboard

The AMAs franchise moved to CBS on Oct. 6, 2024, with a star-studded retrospective special, American Music Awards 50th Anniversary Special. As the most-streamed AMAs in the show’s history, the special surpassed 13 million in reach and averaged over 6.1 million viewers, an increase of +53% from the last show in 2022 on ABC, the largest year-over-year growth of a music special or award show.

The anniversary show featured an all-star lineup that included Jennifer Lopez, Mariah Carey, Gloria Estefan, Jennifer Hudson, Carrie Underwood, Green Day, Brad Paisley, Chaka Khan, Sheila E., Gladys Knight, Kane Brown, Nelly, Nile Rodgers & CHIC, RAYE, Stray Kids, AJ McLean, Jimmy Kimmel, Kate Hudson, Lance Bass, Reba McEntire, Samuel L. Jackson, and Smokey Robinson.

The American Music Awards bills itself as the world’s largest fan-voted award show. Nominees are based on key fan interactions as reflected on the Billboard charts – including streaming, album sales, song sales and radio airplay.

Legendary producer Dick Clark created the AMAs in 1973 as a fan-based alternative to the Grammys. The first two Grammy live telecasts in March 1971 and March 1972 aired on ABC. When the Grammys shifted to CBS for the March 1973 telecast, ABC looked for a show to fill that void and went with Clark’s fan-based show.

The show on Memorial Day will be the 51st yearly AMAs broadcast. (There were two shows in 2003 and none at all in 2023 or 2024.)

That first show in 1974 ran just 90 minutes. The show in the first five years had a tight focus on three broad genres – pop/rock, soul/R&B and country. It now recognizes far more genres, including hip-hop, Latin, inspirational, gospel, Afrobeats and K-pop.

Clark, a master showman, was a legend in both music and television. He received a trustees award from the Recording Academy in 1990 and was inducted into the Television Academy Hall of Fame in 1992. He died in 2012 at age 82.

The 2025 American Music Awards will air concurrently on both coasts. The AMAs previously aired on the West Coast on tape delay. This welcome change was introduced on the anniversary show last October.

Dick Clark Productions is owned by Penske Media Corporation. PMC is also the parent company of Billboard.

Wicked, A Complete Unknown and I Saw the TV Glow won for best music supervision in major budget, mid-level budget and low-budget films, respectively, at the 15th annual Guild of Music Supervisors Awards, which were held at The Wiltern Theatre in Los Angeles on Sunday, Feb. 23.

Wicked fans had further cause to rejoicify: Wicked creator Stephen Schwartz received the Icon Award to celebrate his contributions to the music and film industries. Schwartz performed “Beautiful City” from the 1973 film adaptation of his 1971 musical Godspell.

The GMS Awards honors achievements in the craft of music supervision in film, television, documentaries, advertising, trailers and video games.

“Like a Bird” from the film Sing Sing won best song written and/or recorded for a film. But that doesn’t necessarily mean it’s headed for an Oscar victory for best original song on March 2. Of the nine songs to win in this category at the GMS Awards, just three went on to win the Oscar – “City of Stars” from La La Land, “Shallow” from A Star Is Born and “What Was I Made For?” from Barbie.

The field of nominees in this category at the two shows was very different this year. Just one other song, Diane Warren’s “The Journey” from The Six Triple Eight, was nominated at both shows. The other Oscar nominees are “El Mal” from Emilia Pérez (Clément Ducol, Camille and Jacques Audiard), “Mi Camino” from Emilia Pérez (Camille and Clément Ducol) and “Never Too Late” from Elton John: Never Too Late (Elton John, Brandi Carlile, Andrew Watt and Bernie Taupin).

GMS awarded three songwriters for “Like a Bird” — Abraham Alexander, Brandon Marcel and Adrian Quesada – while the Oscars nominated just Alexander and Quesada.

Music producer and supervisor Bonnie Greenberg took the stage to accept the Legacy Award for her career in music supervision. Greenberg has worked on dozens of films, including Hairspray, My Best Friend’s Wedding, Pleasantville, What Women Want and It’s Complicated.

Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez won the GMS Award for best song written and/or recorded for television for “The Ballad of the Witches’ Road (Sacred Chant Version)” from Agatha All Along. The Lopezes’ previous collaborations have brought them two Oscars, two Grammys, a Primetime Emmy and assorted other awards.

Steve Schnur, music supervisor and executive at EA Games, won the most awards on the night – two for his work on video games EA Sports FC 25 and Dragon Age: The Veilguard. 

Alexander and Quesada performed “Like a Bird” at the GMS Awards. Danielle Ponder performed her nominated song “Egún” from Apple TV’s MANHUNT, and Role Model performed “Sally, When the Wine Runs Out” as the Spotlight artist of the evening.

The event was produced by the GMS Awards production committee: president Lindsay Wolfington, vp Heather Guibert, Janet Lopez, Priya Autrey and Joel C High. Show production was handled by Angelia Shepperd from ABS Collective with talent producer Julie Donsky, and technical production by Nick Urbom from Big Push Media Group.

What Is Beterbiev’s and Bivol’s Walkout Music?

While Riyadh Season has yet to announce each boxer’s walkout music for the main event, they usually go out to the octagon to the same songs during their matches. Artur Beterbiev typically walks out to “Forward Akhmat!” by Russian recording artist Rizavdi Ismailov, while Dmitry Bivol prefers to walk out to “Blood Type” by Soviet post-punk band Kino. So these songs will likely make an appearance during “The Last Crescendo” event.
