Mariah Carey sings in Italian at Olympics opening ceremony

February 6, 2026 by WDNY Radio

Mariah Carey gave una performance fantastico during the opening ceremony of the 2026 Winter Olympics in Italy on Friday.

Wearing a sparkly white and silver dress and matching floor-length feather boa, Mariah stood onstage in the middle of San Siro Olympic Stadium in Milan, Italy, and sang the beloved Italian song “Volare.” The song, recorded by Domenico Modugno, topped the Billboard Hot 100 in 1958.

It marked the first time she’s sung in Italian, which is likely why she appeared to be focusing on a teleprompter.

At the end of that track, she broke into one of her patented “whistle tones,” before segueing into her song “Nothing Is Impossible” from her 2025 album, Here For It All.

The Winter Olympic Games will stream on NBC and Peacock.

Elton John testifies in court about ‘abhorrent’ UK newspaper’s ‘invasion’ of his privacy

February 6, 2026 by WDNY Radio

Elton John testified via video in a U.K. court on Friday about a British newspaper’s “abhorrent” “invasion” of his and his family’s privacy.

Elton and his husband, David Furnish, are among several notable people, including Prince Harry and Elizabeth Hurley, who are suing The Daily Mail for writing articles about them based on “unlawful information gathering.” The newspaper’s publisher has denied any wrongdoing.

Specifically, Elton and David have identified 10 articles written about them between 2000 and 2015 that feature information they claim was obtained by tapping their phones, hiring private investigators and illegally obtaining medical records.

Elton wrote in his witness statement, “From a personal level, I have found The Mail’s deliberate invasion into my medical health and medical details surrounding the birth of our son Zachary abhorrent and outside even the most basic standards of human decency.”

Elton went on to write, “David and I have now seen documents proving that The Mail were digging into me during times when I was in hospital and because I was in hospital. We have also seen documents proving their intense digging into and around the birth of our first son Zachary.”

“We do not believe there could be any legitimate ways that they discovered details about our egg donor, embryos and questions of paternity. Those were among the most confidential matters in our lives at the time,” he added in the statement.

Elton wrote, “It has been truly sickening for David and me to see the disclosure in our case, with Zachary as a target when he was just born, with David and me as targets, with me as a target when I was sick and unwell.”

According to the U.K. paper The Independent, the trial is due to conclude in March.

February 6, 2026 by WDNY Radio

As Koe Wetzel gives fans a taste of his next chapter of music, he says his new track, “Time Goes On,” is “one of my favorites of the record.”

“We wrote this as an acknowledgment of how quickly life moves, whether you embrace the changes that come with it or not,” he adds.

“I could have done a lot of things right/ I could have done a lot of things wrong/ Could be pouring concrete on a West Texas street/ But I’m writing this song,” he sings. “Crazy how the years go fast/ Crazy how the hours feel long/ Even through the mistakes and the can’t get through this/ Time goes on/ The time goes on.”

Koe’s 2024 album, 9 Lives, featured his five-week #1, “High Road” with Jessie Murph, which was the most-played song of 2025, according to Mediabase.

February 6, 2026 by WDNY Radio

Gavin Adcock‘s first new music of 2026 is leaving him “Colorblind.”

“‘Colorblind’ is just the beginning of a whole lotta music I’ve been working on for y’all,” he says. “It’s about losing someone you shoulda cared more for, and not realizing how much color she brought to your life.”

The new song comes as Gavin heads for Super Bowl 60 in San Francisco, playing Friday night’s Madden Bowl.

Two songs from Gavin’s latest album, Own Worst Enemy, are on the Madden NFL 26 soundtrack. The record also boasts his debut country hit, “Never Call Again.”

It’s a busy year ahead for Gavin, who will play 16 dates on Morgan Wallen‘s Still the Problem Tour starting in April, in addition to his own shows.

Nick Jonas releases ‘Sunday Best,’ see him co-star with a puppet in ‘Gut Punch’ video

February 6, 2026 by WDNY Radio

Nick Jonas‘ new solo album, Sunday Best, is out now, and he’s also released a video for his single “Gut Punch.” His co-star in the video is a puppet, but not the kind that makes you smile.

“Gut Punch” is about how Nick’s self-doubt and self-criticism make him miserable. In the clip, puppet Jick Nonas represents Nick’s inner dialogue, going everywhere with him and saying disruptive things like, “Let’s go over a new list of things to be anxious about,” “We need to make sure you’re overthinking enough” and “Stop being so introverted.”

Finally, after a disastrous therapy session, Nick confronts the puppet and shouts at him, “You need to be nicer to me!”

“No,” the puppet replies. “YOU need to be nicer to you.” In an “a-ha” moment, Nick realizes he’s the one who’s been sabotaging himself. He smiles and starts dancing in the rain with the puppet.

Nick appeared on Late Night with Seth Meyers Thursday to promote the album. He revealed that his daughter Malti Chopra Jonas‘ favorite Jonas Brothers song is “Love Me to Heaven,” and her favorite song on Sunday Best is the one he wrote about her: “Princesses.”

On Saturday night, Nick will play back-to-back album release shows at LA’s intimate Blue Note Jazz Club.

Normani says she’s ‘more motivated and inspired than ever’ has she works on new music

February 6, 2026 by WDNY Radio

Normani‘s latest update might be the “Dopamine” her fans needed.

The singer, one of the cover stars of the 2026 edition of SI Swimwear, spoke to the publication about new music, which she confirmed is “in the works.”

“I am excited about it. You know, I pay attention to my fans. I might not be the best when it comes to social media, and I’ve made that vow to myself that I am going to be better at that—not only for myself, but also for the people who support me and my fans—but I pay close attention, and I see their responses,” she says. “I see what they want and what their desires are for me. I’m taking it back to my roots a little bit as well.”

This go-round, Normani says she’s “more motivated and inspired than ever.”

“I’ve been going through so many major life transitions that I’m really, really excited for, and I see so much beauty in [them], and I’m just enjoying the journey and the process,” Normani tells SI Swimwear. “And so, for me, the sky really is the limit.”

Though she has a list in mind for potential features, Normani says her dream collaboration would be with Beyoncé.

“She has been such an influential part of why I ended up falling in love with music, and not just music itself, but also entertainment. Just the grace that she carries, the poise that she carries, her ability to continue to be innovative for decades and decades. … She is her standard,” Normani says.

“And for her to be a Black woman, you know, that makes it even more special for me,” she notes. “Like, if she can do it, then a Black girl like me can also do it, and hopefully continue to pave the way for Black women for generations to come.”
