See ‘The Voice’ Audition That Almost Tricks Camila Cabello Into Thinking Shawn Mendes Is Onstage
You would think Camila Cabello should know Shawn Mendes’ voice with her eyes shut, or her back turned. Well, yes, yes she does. Unless you’ve never opened a pop-culture page in the past few years, then you’d know Cabello and Mendes were an item for several years, though the flame has gone out and they’ve gone their separate ways. On Tuesday night’s (Sept. 27) round of blind auditions on The Voice, a potentially awkward moment happened when contestant Tanner Howe covered Mendes’ “Mercy,” an above-ordinary effort that reminded of a Lewis Capaldi and, yes, Mendes. Perhaps a little too much. Howe, a 29-year-old California native, earned a three-chair turn. Only Cabello remained unmoved. “The reason why I didn’t turn around is I felt like you sounded a little bit too much like him,” she explain...
Post Malone Returns to the Stage, Addresses Injury That Stopped Boston Show
Following a health episode earlier in the week, a happier, healthier Post Malone stopped by Cleveland’s Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse on Tuesday night (Sept. 27) — and he was ready to play ball. Coming into the show, question marks hovered over Malone and his status when he was hospitalized with injury. The “Rockstar” rapper had woken with “stabbing pain” whenever he “breathed or moved,” a lingering effect from falling through an open trap door on the stage during his Twelve Carat Tour stop in St. Louis earlier in the month. As a result, he explained on social media, he was forced to cancel his Sept. 24 show in Boston. Malone apparently showed no ill effects in Ohio. During a pause in the show, Postie addressed the situation. “My last show I had to pull out of, unfortunately. Because I really...
