I’m really loving “Fighting Spirit” among the “new” tracks. Can’t wait for Confessions On A Dance Floor: Part 2 in 2026! 🕺🏽

So glad that #LadyGaga and her latest album have nabbed the 2nd most number of nominations for the 2026 #Grammys! I’ve loved #Mayhem from first listen and it’s remained a fixture in my playlist. Hope she clinches the Album and Record (Abracadabra) of the Year awards.

It’s a #NewMusicFriday surprise release! — the 20th anniversary non-stop mix edition of #COADF — with 8 bonus tracks, including 3 “new” songs. This will be the weekend’s soundtrack for sure!

I’m loving the super positive reviews from folks who’ve seen this on #Broadway (now in previews). I’ve been listening to its UK cast recording and it’s very good, with fun lyrics & really infectious tunes. Can’t wait to see it myself, soon. #TwoStrangersMusical #TwoStrangersBway

So relieved to see that it was pretty much a BLUE 🌊 WAVE tonight in Virginia, New Jersey and New York City — female Governor-elects in VA and NJ and the first Muslim/South Asian Mayor of NYC.
Love it! 💙💙💙💙💙

I remember seeing (and hearing) him for the first time around Season 1 of #Bridgerton and thinking he’s gonna go far — he’s a perfectly created specimen of a man and a true triple threat!

I hope that “Real Women Have Curves” and “BOOP!” get new lives on the school theater circuit. They have amazing and inspiring storylines — a real pity that their #Broadway runs ended prematurely.

What is this feeling?? 😳😩
It’s like a hangover — despite ~7 hours of sleep and no alcohol consumption involved. The effects of the biannual time-change is always a trip!

November 1 — It’s officially the beginning of my favorite season of the year — the holidays and holiday music! 🎉🎉 And there’s no better way to start it than with the season’s anthem! 😂😂

The music of a random Instagram reel I saw led me to rediscover #ToriKelly — wow, what a voice! How is she not a bigger star?? Her debut album “Unbreakable Smile” (left) and her most recent “TORI.” have so many gems in them!

It only took me 28 years to catch up to seeing the now-cult favorite, #PracticalMagic. But I was more confused than wowed by it — cos it’s such a hodgepodge rom-com / horror / sci-fi flick … with a little eye-candy thrown in! 😝 Just hope the 2026 sequel is better!

While it wasn’t a great film, it wasn’t as bad as some have said. I think its greatest (heh) strength is its soundtrack — Pasek & Paul did a superb job and the “Reimagined” album takes it up a notch. I’m now eagerly awaiting the stage musical production! #TheGreatestShowman

The #SomeLikeItHot musical has launched a US Tour and it stops in DC next month. Really cool that it snagged 13 Tony noms (incl. for Book, Score, Lyrics, Choreography and Costumes) and won 4 of them! I missed its #Broadway run so this is my chance to make up for it. 😀 Yay or nay?

I’m really diggin’ this dance track from Netflix’s “Nobody Wants This” S2 soundtrack. And I think it’s shifted my opinion of Selena Gomez as a singer. 😆 Granted, it’s got slick production from the guys who’ve worked with Lady Gaga, Charli XCX & The Weeknd.

With the news that she’s retiring as a singer/performer, I dug into her music and rediscovered some real gems: Be OK, What I Wanted, Powerless, Turn Off The Light…a really solid discography! #NellyFurtado

The buzz about #BlueMoon is mounting and it’s not hard to see why — a biographical film about a beloved lyricist with a star-filled/award-winning cast & director. A darling of the film festivals, it’s a movie set in the world of musical theater. 👍🏽😍

Megan Hilty is #Broadway royalty and phenomenal in her Tony-nominated role in #DeathBecomesHer. Glad I got to see her with Michelle Williams, Jenn Simard and Chris Sieber. I loved Betsy Wolfe in "& Juliet" so I know she'll shine as Megan's replacement.

As a mega fan of 80s/90s music, the sound of the new #CharliePuth single is right up my alley. Love the Phil Collins/Bruce Hornsby vibes & background choir. The MV has fun stop-motion animation + a cute pregnancy reveal ... his live Jimmy Fallon performance is 👍 > www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jrf8...

It’s been years since I last saw a #DWTS episode, but I caught up with this week’s “Wicked Night” ep and was pleasantly surprised! The dances—and of course the music—were really good. (Still don’t get the *Stars” part though…) 😆

I’m happy that #ProjectRunway has been renewed … with Heidi, Law, Christian & Nina returning. But they better STOP IT with the cliffhanger episode endings. 😡

In the last few months, I tried to create 50-tracks-max playlists of Madonna’s and Mariah’s best tracks — and didn’t succeed. How does anyone?? 😅 But I love a challenge, so Kylie is next. This is gonna be fun… 🤗

The stage musical adaptation of #MrsDoubtfire was fun! It won’t rank as one of my faves, but I enjoyed it and it stayed true to the beloved movie and had some catchy music! ⭐️⭐️⭐️

I’ve been revisiting the music of 2 Irish groups — #TheCorrs & #Westlife — that were HUGE in Asia when I lived there for a time 25+ years ago. It brought back fond memories and sounds just as good now as back then … pure pop earworms! (Were they known in N America?)
