Steven Tyler United States - 19 May 2011 Many contestants who audition for American Idol tell moving and emotional stories. Perhaps the most touching of them was told by Chris Medina who performed Breakeven by The Scripts at the auditions in Chicago. He told the judges of his fiancée Juliana Ramos who had suffered a brain injury after a car accident that left her in a wheelchair – able to move only her left arm and little more. After Chris sang, he brought his fian- cée to the audition room at the judges’ request. While Randy Jackson and Jennifer Lopez intro- duced themselves, Steven Tyler shook her hand saying: “Hi, girl. I just heard your fiancée sing, and he’s so good.” He added in a warm, tender whisper: “That’s why he sings so good, because he sings to you.” The New York Times called the moment “a stellar embrace” and praised Tyler as “deeply practiced and deeply humane” and an “unalloyed genius”.

  • Stevie's Salas the Bio
    Stevie's Salas The Bio A guitar player, writer, producer, and composer, Stevie Salas has recorded on over 70 different albums with artists as diverse as George Clinton, Justin Timberlake, Buddy Miles, T.I., Mick Jagger, and Rod Stewart. Having sold over two million solo albums around the world, Stevie has been cited as one of the top 50 guitarists of all time. Dreaming of a career in music, Stevie left the small town of Oceanside, California in 1985. Eight months later he was discovered by funk music legend George Clinton as the lead guitarist for Clinton’s albums. Stevie received his first major label producer credit with “Was (Not Was)” when he co-produced the UK hit “Out Come the Freaks” from the Album “What up Dog?” Rolling Stone Magazine listed “What up Dog?” as one of the top 100 records of the decade. In 1988, Stevie was asked to join Rod Stewart on a world tour as lead guitarist. Skipping cities in a private jet to sold-out stadiums led to Stevie signing the largest record deal Island Records had ever paid for a new artist. Stevie’s first record, “Colorcode,” is still a cult classic in the UK and Europe, and his second solo album, “Back from the Living,” ousted the Rolling Stones and Aerosmith for “Best Album” in Japan. An accomplished composer, Stevie is credited with providing the score for several films including Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure and the 2009 film Darfur. Over 50 of Stevie’s compositions have been released on major labels.

  • Legendary Rock Band Queen + Adam Lambert's Virtual
    LEGENDARY ROCK BAND QUEEN + ADAM LAMBERT’S VIRTUAL REALITY CONCERT EXPERIENCE TO WORLD PREMIERE AT TRIBECA VIRTUAL ARCADE AT WESTFIELD WORLD TRADE CENTER NEW YORK, NY (November 18, 2016) — The World Premiere of legendary English rock band QUEEN + Adam Lambert’s first live-concert VR experience VR THE CHAMPIONS has been added to the free Tribeca Virtual Reality Arcade at Westfield World Trade Center for the closing weekend, November 18 – November 20, 2016 (12pm – 8pm). The 3D VR film shot in front of an audience of 15,000 fans live in Barcelona in May 2016 features performances of Radio Ga Ga, We Will Rock You, and We Are the Champions. The production used a four-point wire to enable the camera to fly above the audience and amongst the band, capturing their performance in a truly immersive way. Westfield, in partnership with Tribeca Enterprises, the producers of the Tribeca Film Festival and the world’s premier curators of VR, kicked off the Tribeca Virtual Arcade at Westfield World Trade Center < 185 Greenwich Street, New York, NY 10007 > the first weekend in November. For the past two weekends the attendance was at maximum capacity with thousands of guests experiencing the projects. For the closing weekend, visitors can partake in five virtual worlds: rock out with a transformative concert experience from an impossible perspective, from the stage to the audience; battle with invading space aliens; defy gravity; discover a supernatural gift bestowed upon modern day New York City; and explore wildly imaginative dreamscapes that blur boundaries between fact and fiction, reality and fantasy—and ultimately—between the physical and digital worlds.
