Mariah Carey is one of the best selling female artists of all time.This sexy diva is known for her sultry and dynamic vocal stylings. She is a five time Grammy Award winning artist and has the most number-one hits in the United States as a solo artist. Mariah collaborated with some of the hottest names in the music industry that include the likes of Jay Z, Snoop Dogg, Usher, Jermaine Dupri, Kanye West, The Neptunes, Kenneth “Babyface” Edmonds, and Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis. Not only is she a singer, but a writer and producer as well. Not that Ms. Carey is back on top of the music world, her concert during the week of January 2nd at Borgata was the most incredible so far. When she stood there and began singing the interlude to Daydream, that’s when the crowd knew it was in for a treat!

Mariah Carey was born and raised in Huntington, Long Island, New York. Music had a large influence on Mariah at an early age. She would listen to her mother practicing opera and soon began to imitate her. She began singing at the age of three and throughout her early teens would find herself skipping school to focus on music. After graduation from high school, she moved to New York City working part-time jobs to pay the rent. In 1998, Mariah finally got her big break when she met Columbia Records executive Tommy Mottola. Mottola listened to a demo of Mariah’s work and soon signed her to a recording contract.

Mariah’s early success came with the release of her self titled debut album, where she co-wrote many of the tracks. Her debut album was a huge commercial success as it yielded four number-one singles and made Mariah an over night star in the United States. As the success of the debut album continued, Mariah would win Grammys for Best New Artist and Best Female Pop Vocal Performance.

Mariah’s career continued to roll and she received Billboard’s Artist of the Decade Award. Soon after, Mariah would depart from Columbia Records and sign with Virgin where she would sign a contract worth a reported $80 million. It was during this time that Mariah’s career would begin to take a turn in the opposite direction. She would find herself checking into a hospital suffering from an emotional and physical breakdown. Also during this time, Mariah would be panned by critics for her role in Glitter and the accompanying soundtrack of the same name.

Carey’s career was resurrected in 2005 with her tenth studio album release, The Emancipation of Mimi. Mimi was critically acclaimed and garnered Carey three Grammy Awards for Best Contemporary R&B Album, Best Female R&B Vocal Performance, and Best R&B Song.

The diva was back and her career was skyrocketing her to a new level of fame. Mariah began The Adventures of Mimi Tour, which was the most successful tour of the career to date. Her personal life would also begin to shine as she met and married Nick Cannon. According to Mariah, she has never been more at ease with herself or more fulfilled in her life than she does at this point in her life.

Mariah’s latest album, Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel, has already earned praise from critics and fans alike. Mariah would also receive much praise for her role in the critically acclaimed film, Precious. Mariah’s new tour features the diva at her best. Coming down from the ceiling on a swing with a beige dress she yet again proved that she is one of  the most beautiful, talented performer of all time, Mariah Carey!

Nothing this year made me so full of anticipation as the rumors of the legendary Stevie Wonder planning a long awaited (12 years to be precise) tour of the US, and nobody heard me squeal so profusely when I discovered those rumors were in actual fact - FACT!

For the millions of you who shared my delight, his tour which began in August has been a revelation. It was no wonder then that tickets were being sold at an alarming rate and I was somewhat (extremely) disappointed when I missed out. The good news is, ladies and gentleman, its not too late to be the bearer of a ‘golden ticket’. Sir Stevie Wonder has extended his tour and for those who missed out the first time round, tickets are now available to see our beloved icon in locations such as the Borgata Center in Atlantic City. As of October the 25th, Stevie will be giving us some live events throughout the east.

My ticket for the Borgata Center is in a safe place until the 27th of October arrives - the big day. After weeks of frustration, all my wishes came true with the announcement of the added dates. I am in no doubt that these tickets will soon be sold out too, so if your thinking about it, don’t! better not waste the time, just act on it. Come and join me boogieing on down to the likes of “Superstition”, “Higher Ground” and some of his later works; “So What the Fuss” and “Shelter in the Rain”.

So what made Stevie decide to tour after 12 years? Delighted as I was, I thought it was a little out of the blue. It has been reported that his inspiration came from the recent death of his mother, Lula Mae Hardaway. She is also the muse of his upcoming album “The Gospel Inspired by Lula”, to be released in January next year, coinciding with her birthday.

Stevie’s last studio album was titled “A Time to Love”. Emerging in 2005 and reaching number 5 in the Billboard 200, it was and still is a perfect blend of anthems and laid-back R&B/Soul. In a time when a lot of R&B is about drugs, money, or infidelity, Wonder’s lyrics offer us the innocence and simplicity of early Motown. A refreshing change I might add. After playing the album on repeat, for what seems like an eternity, I am more than a little excited to hear and see them live on stage.

I can’t comprehend for what might have been if I never bought my ticket for the Borgata. To me and to many others who have walked the globe since Stevie’s existence, the acceptance that this guy is a genius is just the beginning. I still find myself full of admiration for a man who is fully blind, but brimming with life and musical ambition. Everything that he’s recorded bares the tone of his jubilant positivity. He has taught us so much on issues of racial, social and spiritual context.

Stevie Wonder shares a love of music like I do and when I listen to him I feel on top of the world. No exaggeration. I can’t wait to see him later this month…Can you?

Catch him live at the Borgata Center, Atlantic City, 26th-27th October.

If you love good music, smooth phrasing and out of this world jazz, don’t miss the opportunity to see Tony Bennett live at Harrah’s in Atlantic City. Bennett’s been called everything from “the last of the greats” to “the best singer in the business.” Frank Sinatra, by the way, made that last remark about Tony.

The tickets are selling out fast and for good reason. Bennett doesn’t do that many concerts and the opportunity may not be available in the area for a very long time, if ever again. You may have seen Tony’s recent appearance on American Idol. Many people that never heard his warm, husky voice before got a small sampling as he helped mentor the contestants. His warm friendly manner made him popular with not only the contestants but also all of America.

This icon of music has been popular since the 1950’s. His jazzy style and phrasing brings new life to old songs and a comfortable familiarity to new ones. Most people that hear Bennett sing once are hooked on his mellow tones and upbeat vocalizations. While you immediately identify Tony Bennett with his signature song, “I Left My Heart in San Francisco,” but will immediately recognize Bennett’s other hits as he makes each song spring to life on the stage.

“Because of You ” was Bennett’s first record and it made its way to the top of the charts September 1951. He followed the hit another chart topper “Cold, Cold Heart.” Other great hits included “Rags to Riches, ” Strangers in Paradise,” “In the Middle of an Island,” “I Wanna Be Around,” “The Good Life, ” “Who Can I Turn To (When Nobody Needs Me), ” “If I Ruled the World” and “The Beat of My Heart.”

If you’ve never heard Tony Bennett, you might be living on an island with no television or radio, but you wouldn’t be reading this would you? Take a minute to go to Tony Bennett’s website and listen to some fantastic music. It won’t take long before you understand why the tickets are so hot and difficult to get. The man’s not only a musical genius, his voice just makes you smile. It weaves a hypnotic spell you can’t resist, because you don’t want to resist it. For those few minutes, there are no barking dogs, not overdue bills, no problems with family, just you and Tony and the music.

From the inception of the Grammy for best traditional pop vocal performance in 1992 until 2007, Tony Bennett won 10 out of the 16 years. The music industry recognizes that his type of unique talent doesn’t have to follow the trend for the industry. It’s pure, genuine and comes from the heart. There’s no copycat style for the favorite musical flavor of the day, Bennett is Bennett and no one else. Of course, there’s no one out there that can offer the audience the same mellow flavor of tone like Tony Bennett either.

Don’t miss this opportunity to see an American music icon. If you wait to long, you’ll miss the chance of a lifetime to see a concert you’ll talk about for years to come. It doesn’t matter what age you are; Bennett has a sound everyone loves. But you had better hurry because tickets are selling out for his Harrah’s Atlantic City performances Friday and Saturday, November 6th and 7th.

In the 1970s, there were four men who were the absolute top draws of the stand up comedy industry. They were Richard Pryor, Redd Fox, George Carlin, and Robin Williams. Of these four, many people have seemingly forgotten how big of a star Williams was on the standup circuit. Well, those that have forgotten saw their memories jolted when it was revealed he would appear once again on stage at The Borgata Hotel and Spa in Atlantic City, NJ on November 27th and 28th. This is truly a historic event as Williams rarely makes live concert appearances and for over two decades did no live shows at all.

Robin Williams’ career has spawned more years than many realize. Long before he was a star on the 1970s/1980s sitcom MORK AND MINDY, he had been a successful standup comic. Williams achieved great fame through the sale of scores of LP albums that featured his ribald nightclub act. Upon becoming an even bigger star thanks to his television exposure as well as his starring roles in mildly successful films such as POPEYE (1980) and THE WORLD ACCORDING TO GARP (1983), Williams’ standup career became even more popular with audiences. His appearances on a number of HBO comedy specials were well received and they spawned several popular VHS video releases.

However, when Williams’ movie career took off, his appearances at standup comedy shows declined. In time, the classic golden age of 1970s standup comedy slowly declined in popularity. As such, stars such as Williams moved beyond the stage and settled into big screen success.

For whatever reason, Williams opted to return to the stand up stage after a two decade plus absence. His appearance on Broadway was well received and it led to greater demand for a new standup act. Robin Williams has complied with the wishes of his fans and has developed ribald new material that shows he has most definitely not lost his knack for being able to entertain crowds. In fact, some say that his new material is among his best ever. This is somewhat amazing because you would assume he would have lost a step or two after his long absence. Actually, the opposite is true. His new material is more mature and less manic. It also shows that he never lost the creative gift that he once had for making an audience laugh. That is why Williams’ return to the stage is looked forward to with such passion.

Ticket prices range from $199 - $291 and the intimate setting of the Borgata’s theater ensures you will have a clear view of the performance. This is a very rare live appearance by a legendary entertainment superstar. It may even be one of his final tours. So don’t miss it!

Two motion pictures have recently visited Atlantic City and made use of the gambling town for filming scenes from the movies. Just who has been seen hanging out in Atlantic City, New Jersey? A list stars Jennifer Aniston, the unforgettable hunk Gerard Butler and veteran actor Nick Nolte.

Aniston and Butler are both starring in “Bounty Hunter” and both stayed in suites at The Water Club while they filmed at the Borgata. Andy Tennant who also directed box office hits Hitch and Sweet Home Alabama directs “Bounty Hunter”.

In the action comedy, Gerard plays a bounty hunter whose current target is his ex-wife played by Aniston who has jumped bail.
