Critics celebrate Céline Dion's'high-stakes' comeback show in Paris Iconic Canadian pop singer Céline Dion has kicked off her long-awaited comeback show in Paris on Saturday, after a six-year hiatus due to health issues. The 58-year-old superstar was diagnosed with a rare neurological disorder called stiff person syndrome in 2022, which forced her to pull back from touring. Dion, one of the best-selling musical artists of all time, has not performed a full show since a 2020 concert in New Jersey - the last before the Covid pandemic cut her tour short. In 2024, she performed just one song at the Paris Olympics closing ceremony. Saturday marked the first of Dion's 26-show residency at the Paris La Défense Arena, Europe's largest covered concert arena.

When the rapper Fenix Flexin débuted a new accent on his single "Rubberz," he stumbled into a century-old fight over musical fraudulence. Startups including Suno allow users to create songs with A.I., and some A.I. entities have started to attract followings on Spotify. Earlier this summer, a small night club in Passaic, New Jersey, hosted a brief performance by one of the year's most talked-about musicians. A post on Instagram had promised attendees "an unforgettable night," although not necessarily a long one: the only assurance was that the Los Angeles rapper known as Fenix Flexin would be "performing his viral hit'Rubberz' live!" Until recently, Fenix was known for high-spirited and slightly mush-mouthed hip-hop tracks, but "Rubberz," which was released in June, marked a dramatic change: it was sad but sprightly synth pop, like an unheard outtake from the nineteen-eighties; the vocals were crisp, with a hint of vibrato and a faintly British accent. Listeners seemed to delight in the incongruity--a semipopular rapper suddenly sounded nothing like himself.

The largest planned AI data center in New Jersey has been accused of violating federal law after an investigation found the site running dozens of gas-powered generators without a permit, according to Floodlight and The Guardian. Thermal drone footage showed the partly-finished DataOne facility was operating at least 45 of the site's 62 generators simultaneously. The facility allegedly doesn't have permits for any of them.
