For a show that's never been shy about celebrating itself, Saturday Night Live was bound to lean hard into its 50th season. But the results were as mixed as ever.

Elton John partnered with Brandi Carlile for a new album of duets, Who Believes in Angels? But the project almost fell apart during its first recording sessions.

The surprise performance at the Newport Folk Festival, now released as an album, is another exciting evolution in Joni Mitchell's notoriously chameleonic career.

The beloved singer-songwriter performed in front of more than 20,000 fans at an idyllic amphitheater in rural Washington state.

From Kendrick Lamar and Megan Thee Stallion to Coldplay, here they are: the magnificent, the flawed-but-forceful, the forgettable and the truly, epically misbegotten.

Alicia Keys wowed a sold-out crowd with two hours of singalongs, special guests and a dash of Georgia politics at Cadence Bank Amphitheatre at Chastain Park Friday night. 

The iconic singer-songwriter performed her first public full-length show anywhere since 2000, with a little help from Brandi Carlile.

The show, despite a delay caused by the pandemic and brief moments of seriousness, was mostly a highly professional, relentlessly energetic showcase for the pleasure of live music. Plus a few awards.
