Why the likes of ABC, NBC and Fox can be expected to develop new content of colour in the coming years?

The 2017 Grammys may as well have been named “the Adele show.”

The powerhouse diva, whose 2015 & 2016 were already monstrous in sales and critical acclaim, is kicking of 2017 with similar treatment thanks to a Grammy sweep that saw her nab “Album of the Year,” “Song of the Year,” and “Record of the Year” honors.  In fact, she won every single award she was nominated for at tonight’s ceremony.

The night may have had a few performance hiccups, but all of that was overshadowed when the singer/songwriter took to the stage to accept the night’s most anticipated golden gramophones and, in a twist, even dedicated two of the wins to her idol Beyonce

Last night, millions of Americans tuned in to watch President Obama offer them his farewell address before he parts ways with the White House to make way for his predecessor Donald J. Trump.

In it, he thanked his family for their support as he stood as leader of the free world and outlined the highs and lows of his presidency.

Fortunately, the praise he received for his speech was undisturbed by news of Trump’s alleged penchant for “Golden Showers” on social media.

Mahershala Ali (above) and the cast of the hit movie ‘Moonlight’ were honoured at last night’s Golden Globe Awards when the project was presented with the Best Drama trophy.

Only right then, as the movie continues to rock theatres nationwide, that its cast and crew celebrate their win by speaking to press at the ceremony about the project.

Alas, their time with media outlets saw them quizzed on Kim Burrell’s slamming of the LGBT community  and how it may have affected Janelle Monae who stars in ‘Moonlight’ as well as ‘Hidden Figures’, the movie Burrell recorded music for.

How they responded?

Bruno Mars is hitting the road!

The superstar singer is taking his ’24k Magic’ movement international with his aptly titled ’24k Magic World Tour.’

Mounted in support of the crooner’s like-titled new album (due Nov. 18th), the mammoth trek will set sail in March 2017 and play 82 initial dates across Europe and North America.

The venture succeeds 2013’s ‘Moonshine Jungle Tour,’ which sold 2 million tickets and played a gargantuan 155 total shows.

Can Bruno do it again?

We’re more than sure he’s taking a “don’t believe me? Just watch” approach.

Tickets  for the first wave of dates go on sale next Monday, but those who pre-order the ’24k Magic’ album from his official store unlock access to an exclusive pre-sale (get them album sales!)

While the critical and relative commercial failure of 2013’s ‘Artpop’ (and its singles) signaled to some a significant fall from grace for Grammy winning songbird Lady Gaga, the three years that followed proved quite the opposite.  Redemption arrived in several packages including a highly praised, Grammy-winning chart-topper with jazz legend Tony Bennett, two stunning Academy Awards performances, and a Golden Globe win for her role in the ‘American Horror Story’ franchise.

As the feats above collectively seemed to spell great anticipation for a “proper” comeback of the eccentric songstress, many-a-diehard fan was sure the singer/songwriter’s reignited star would see her new music greeted with similar fanfare – a notion only solidified by word she’d reconnected with serial hitmaker RedOne for production contributions to the new project.

The setup would ironically prove to be a perfect illusion:
