TGIF FEATURE: Bruno Mars releases new video starring Zendaya; donates $1M to Flint

Zendaya stars in Bruno Mars' newest music video.

BRUNO MARS has been on his “24K Magic World Tour.” During his August 12 sold-out show, Mars surprised the Auburn Hills, MI audience with the announcement that he would be donating $1 million to aid victims of the Flint water crisis.
"I'm very thankful to the Michigan audience for joining me in supporting this cause," the Grammy winner said in a statement on August 12. "Ongoing challenges remain years later for Flint residents, and it's important that we don't forget our brothers and sisters affected by this disaster. As people, especially as Americans, we need to stand together to make sure something like this never happens in any community ever again."

The next day, the Filipino/American entertainer, 31, dropped his “Versace on the Floor” video, in which Mars demonstrates his skills on the keyboards. 

The 5-minute video opens with a brief encounter between Bruno and the Spider-Man: Homecoming actress in a hotel room hallway, before they enter their adjacent rooms. As an indigo haze brushes over their rooms, Bruno sits down at the keyboard to sing a little tune. Wooed by his charm and melodic serenade, Zendaya – appropriately dressed in Versace – begins to sway and dance as the room is lit up with twinkling lights.

“Versace on the Floor” is the third music video to be released off his platinum-certified studio album. It follows behind the animated visuals for “That’s What I Like” and the album’s lead single, “24K Magic.”

Angelica Hale hits the high note in America's Got Talent..

Angelica Hale

A LITTLE GIRL, dressed in red and looking like she just came from a birthday party, emerged from a swirl of stars began softly as she sang a cover of "Clarity." Her voice continued to grow as Angelica Hale hit some unbelievably high notes, including "The High Note" that wowed the judges.

By the time 9-year old Angelica had completed her song, the four judges gave her a standing ovation and one judge, Mel B., was in tears.

Her performance was good enough for her to move her into the semi-finals. When it came time for her to face the judges with favorite Darcy Lynn Farmer, it didn't look good but the judges gave both singers a thumbs up.

The Korean hip-hop dance crew had a harder time. The dancers were in the sixth, seventh and eighth spots. That meant the TV audience had the opportunity to vote for one of the acts during the live show. 

Since it was a live show, only the east coast viewers had the opportunity to vote, leaving the west coast, where more Asian/Americans lived, no chance to influence the vote. By the end of show, it was announced that the Koreans were out of the running for that last spot heading to the semifinals.

Watch Angelica's amazing performance below:

Angelica was one of seven acts to advance. Besides Farmer, the other semi-finalists will be In the Stairwell, Preacher Lawson, Billy and Emily England, Christian Guardino and Yoli Mayor.

Next Tuesday, the second live show will help determine a new group of semi-finalists, including the other 9-year old Asian/American singer Celine Tam and the dance crew Brobots and Mandroidz, which features three AAPI dancers.
