      The ‘Wrecking Ball’ hitmaker helps high school and college seniors celebrate their graduations remotely, while Oprah Winfrey shares her wisdom through a special message.
      May 16, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Miley Cyrus has helped the class of 2020 celebrate their graduations amid the coronavirus pandemic with a musical performance. Taking part in Facebook and Instagram’s #Graduation2020 virtual broadcast, the former “Hannah Montana” star delivered a rousing rendition of her 2009 hit song, “The Climb”, from her home.
      Before her performance, the 27-year-old expressed her support for the 2020 graduates in a quick address. “Hello to all the graduates out there,” she greeted while standing behind a sparkling blue and gold podium. “I’m truly honored to celebrate each and every one of you high school and college seniors and all that you’ve accomplished.”
      “As I was thinking about you, the class of 2020 and how you inspire me, I knew I wanted to share this song with you,” the ex-wife of actor Liam Hemsworth continued her short speech by introducing the ballad she was about to cover. “It feels full of a new meaning. Keep the faith, keep on moving, keep climbing, here’s ‘The Climb’.”

      Miley was one of the stars participating in the multi-hour streaming event dubbed “#Graduation2020: Facebook and Instagram Celebrate the Class of 2020”. On the Friday, May 15 stream, Oprah Winfrey also popped up online to give an inspiring commencement speech to the graduates she described as “the pandemic class.”
      “I know you may not feel like it, but you are indeed the chosen class for such a time as this – the class of 2020. You’re also a united class, the pandemic class that has the entire world striving to graduate with you,” the media mogul began her speech. “But even though there may not be pomp because of our circumstances, never has a graduating class been called to step into the future with more purpose, vision, passion, and energy and hope.”
      The 66-year-old then challenged the graduates to use what they have learned to strive over COVID-19. “So can you use this disorder that COVID-19 has wrought? Can you treat it as an uninvited guest that’s come into our midst to reorder our way of being? Can you, the class of 2020, show us not how to put the pieces back together again, but how to create a new and more evolved normal, a world more just, kind, beautiful, tender, luminous, creative, whole?” she asked.

      “We need you to do this, because the pandemic has illuminated the vast systemic inequities that have defined life for too many for too long,” she added. “You have the power to stand for, to fight for, and vote for healthier conditions that will create a healthier society. This moment is your invitation to use your education to begin to heal our afflictions by applying the best of what you’ve learned in your head, and felt in your heart.”

      The “Selma” star streamed the dedication to medical workers employed at facilities in the city of Anaheim from his home this week, offering up gratitude and words of encouragement before singing them a church song.
      “I want to say to you 180 women who are in the Anaheim hospitals’ frontlines fighting this virus, just know that you’re in a wonderful city, community that supports you, that loves you … and that this community is of strong, and of faith, and of God (sic),” he shared on the virtual call.
      Cuba spent much of his childhood in the Orange County region and said he often reflects on how much help he received when he was down on his luck there.
      “(I think about moments of) survival there, and how the community rallied behind us to make sure we made it through the night with food (and) with shelter,” he recalled. “On a personal note, I used to live in Anaheim – I was homeless, I was living in a women’s abuse shelter just outside of (nearby city) Tustin. I went to Tustin High School, and I was exposed to the tight-knit community that Tustin and Anaheim make up.”

      Justin Bieber Sparks Debate After Claiming 'Changes' Is R n B Album

      by

      The Canadian pop star earns backlash after he disputes Kehlani’s claim that her latest record ‘It Was Good Until It Wasn’t’ could be the first No. 1 R n B album in 2020.
      May 16, 2020
      AceShowbiz – The blur line of music genre has led Justin Bieber to make a debatable claim about the color of his latest record “Changes”. Having been widely recognized as a pop superstar, the Canadian singer has apparently tried to swift gear by saying that his 2020 studio album is an R&B album.
      It all began as Kehlani, who recently released her new album “It Was Good Until It Wasn’t”, promoted the record on her Instagram post. The 25-year-old songstress urged her fans to stream the record as it could end up becoming the first R&B album to top the charts in 2020.
      “IT WAS GOOD UNTIL IT WASNT. Link in bio. Last day to stream to get the first strictly RNB first week #! album in a long time,” she wrote in a now-deleted post. Further promoting R&B music, she continued, “our genre isn’t dead, our genre deserves! Link in bio! What’s your favorite lyric drop them comments boiiiiii and stream awayyy!”
      Seeing Kehlani’s post, Justin decided to weigh in on it. He disputed her claim that “It Was Good Until It Wasn’t” could be the first R&B album to hit No. 1 in 2020, claiming that his album “Changes” is also of R&B genre and has placed first earlier this year. “Changes was rnb ;)” he wrote in the comment section.

      Many of Kehlani’s fans clearly disagreed with Justin, with one trying to correct him, “I like Justin but that album is not what R&B fans consider to be R&B. Sorry to this man.” A second person kindly tried to explain to him, “I wouldn’t call his album R&B, more like a pop album with some songs having a trap beat.”
      “It’s Justin Bieber, what else would it be besides Pop?” another person who doubted Justin’s claim chimed in. Reacting with a joke, someone suggested, “JB’s was rnb the way Post Malone’s was hip hop lol.”
      Another fan of Kehlani said he/she was angry because of Justin’s claim, admitting, “This pissed me off.” Clearly not a fan of the “Sorry” hitmaker, another added, “He acted like a Damn cry baby when ‘Yummy’ wasn’t charting …have several seats…gotta give up that child star mentality.” Someone else also slammed him as writing, “He is so tone deaf it’s sad.”
      Kehlani herself has not responded to Justin’s claim, while the husband of Hailey Baldwin has not attempted to clarify his remarks.
      Nevertheless, Kehlani’s “It Was Good Until It Wasn’t” is poised to become one of the most successful R&B albums in history, with a fan page pointing out that if she hit number one, she would be the first female r&b artist to do so since Beyonce Knowles’ “Lemonade”.
