Culture – Billboard https://www.billboard.com Music Charts, News, Photos & Video Wed, 20 Sep 2023 05:05:12 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.2.2 Brazil’s Gabriel Henrique Delivers ‘Unhuman’ Performance on ‘AGT’: Watch https://www.billboard.com/culture/tv-film/brazil-gabriel-henrique-performance-agt-qualifiers-watch-1235415630/ Wed, 20 Sep 2023 05:01:00 +0000 https://www.billboard.com/?p=1235415630

Latin spirit tells only a small part of Gabriel Henrique’s unique talents. The Brazilian singer showed the full arsenal when he performed Tuesday night, Sept. 19 on America’s Got Talent, for a spot in the finals.

Henrique earned Sofia Vergara’s Golden Buzzer earlier in the season, with a performance of Whitney Houston’s “Run to You”.

Now, with his spot in the Qualifiers round, Henrique swung for the fences with a rendition of Jacob Banks’ “Something Beautiful,” combining pitch, power and an array of high notes that climbed to whistle range, a skill that would make Mariah Carey proud.

The room delivered a standing applause, as did all four judges.

“I don’t even have anything to say. It was perfection,” Vergara later enthused. “It was just like an angel. You are definitely a star. It was beautiful.” And it was goosebumps material, she declared, showing off the effect on her arm to her fellow judges.

Simon Cowell remarked, “You could have sung something less obvious. The fact that you sung this song…you absolutely nailed it. It was way better in my opinion than your first audition.” Just “maybe” with that performance, the Brit remarked, Henrique might have booked a spot in the final.

“You have an unbelievable talent,” was Heidi Klum’s opinion. “Especially from the second part of the song, you showed what sets you apart from the other singers. I feel like you busted out some tunes that are unhuman. It was incredible what we just heard.”

Speaking last, Howie Mandel admitted his initial concerns about the song choice. Those worries quickly disappeared. “Once you hit that note, that’s what makes you stand out. That’s why people are going to remember you.”

Just two contestants can go through from tonight’s round. Now, it’s America’s turn to vote.

Speaking through an interpreter, Henrique shared a parting gift. “I like to say what I feel in my heart,” he noted. “And if it’s not with love, then it doesn’t mean anything.”

Take the Plunge: This Bestselling Ice Bath Is on Sale for Under $100 https://www.billboard.com/culture/product-recommendations/best-portable-ice-bath-where-to-buy-1235416303/ Tue, 19 Sep 2023 22:32:31 +0000 https://www.billboard.com/?p=1235416303

Cold water therapy is more than a TikTok trend.


The practice of cold-water immersion can help treat muscle aches, stress and anxiety and can offer relief on incredibly hot days — and it’s not just for athletes. In 2019, Lady Gaga took to Instagram to share an icy, post-show recovery routine.


“Post show routine: ice bath for 5-10 min, hot bath for 20, then compression suit packed with ice packs for 20,” Gaga captioned a photo of herself submerged in ice after hitting the stage for her Las Vegas Residency.


Thinking about taking the plunge? This bestselling portable ice bath is on sale for under $100 at Amazon. If you’ve been looking for a basic ice bath to start your cryotherapy journey, the Cold Pod is a multi-layered, 85-gallon portable ice tub that features a PVC inner layer, nylon on the outside and a middle layer of Pearl Foam.

Amazon

Buy: Ice Bath Tub for Athletes with cover: 85 Gallons Cold Plunge Tub for Recovery, Multiple Layered Portable Ice Bath Plunge Pool by The Cold Pod $104 (with instant coupon)


Designed to fit most body types, the portable ice bath stands 30 inches tall, nearly 30 inches wide and is recommended for people measuring up to 6 foot 7 inches tall.


“Plunging is an important part of my self-care routine, as it helps reduce inflammation, it boosts my immune system, and it lifts my mood as well,” noted an Amazon shopper who was “pleasantly surprised” by the Cold Plunge. “Honestly, for what I paid I didn’t expect much. Yet, when I received the product, I was pleasantly surprised at how thick the exterior material felt, and by how easy it was to assemble. Within ten minutes I had it set up on a foam exercise mat in my garage and I was filling it with water.”


Apply the $26 instant coupon at checkout to save additional money off the sale price. You can score an even deeper deal on the Cold Pod by applying for an Amazon Visa Card. You’ll get an instant $50 discount upon approval.


Cold plunging has benefits but also risks. As noted by American Heart Association, jumping into cold water can shock the system and increase your heart rate, but ice baths allow for a more controlled form of cold-immersion versus diving into freezing cold water.


According to the product description, Cold Pod can decrease inflammation, increase circulation, calm the central nervous system, help your body recover faster with less muscle aches, and can also promote better sleep and improved mental health.

As we say “Bye Bye Bye” to the summer season and hello to cool weather, The Children’s Place wants us to get in the holiday spirit with the help of *NSYNC’s Lance Bass and Joey Fatone, along with Backstreet Boys’ AJ McLean and Boyz II Men member Wanya Morris. The newest campaign from the kids apparel brand titled “An Iconic Holiday Part 1” is the first in a three-part series that will combine music, fashion and family.


Expect a mix of matching holiday pajamas as well as picture-ready looks that’ll have you and your family ready for holiday cards, family gatherings and more. Oh, and did we mention they’re all approved by the ’90s boyband icons?


“When I got the call from The Children’s Place on this opportunity, I knew it would be a hit,” said Fatone in a press statement. “All of us guys have evolved from boy band members to dads and our fans have supported us throughout it all. It is truly incredible to be able to show our fans, who are now parents themselves, a side of us that they haven’t seen before. Plus, how often do you see four boy band members reunite as the ultimate ‘Dad Band’, wearing matching pajamas?! It’s iconic.”


The brand announced the new campaign on Instagram with a video of the stars showing off the different outfits with their kids and family.


“THIS. IS. ICONIC. We’re officially kicking off an iconic holiday season campaign w/ a celebrity guest list that’ll be music to your ears… first up? Boy Band icons @wanyamorris, @realjoeyfatone, @lancebass, @aj_mclean + their kids!!!” the caption said.


Bass especially enjoyed working with the brand as it allowed him the opportunity to combine multiple passions while getting the rare chance to work with his family.


“Fusing my love of family, fashion and music for this campaign was everything,” said Bass in a press statement. “The Children’s Place is such a strong household name, it was incredible working with them, AJ, Joey, and Wanya on this. I’ll cherish the relationships I have with the guys on-and-off the stage forever. Plus, it’s not often that I get to work with my kids, so being able to spend the day with them matching in The Children’s Place’s cutest festive fashion was such a treat.”
