FROM THE EDITOR You just never know where you might find inspiration. But my new hero is Stan Saxon.

A vetern drummer out of Nashville who has played with the likes of Vince Gill and Joe Diffie, Saxon is now most famous for falling through the front window of Robert’s Western World while finishing up a set with the Don Kelley Band back in January.

Saxon’s full story can be found on website of The Tennessean, while video of the unique accident is also on YouTube

under: “Drummer Falls Out Window!!!

Nashville, Robert’s Western World.”

Granted, about three decades ago at the old Salt Palace, I did witness Mötley Crüe’s Tommy Lee do a full, 360-degree rotation while strapped to his drum kit.

And the 6-foot-10, 100-pound maniac never missed a beat despite — allegedly — drinking an entire bottle of Jack Daniel’s just moments earlier.

But that was on purpose. Self-inflicted.

Conversely, Saxon found himself awkwardly falling back off of his drum stool near the end of “Ghost Riders in the Sky” — a longtime favorite song of mine. But even more impressively, as he’s going down — and out — Saxon keeps on delivering the beat for as long as he can,

still reaching for his kit with his drumsticks, even as he’s creating a new way to get backstage, i.e. the sidewalk along Broadway. (I should add that Saxon was unhurt, and neither was a lady on the sidewalk who never stopped smoking).

Now, I served an LDS mission to Tennessee, and for five months, those downtown Nashville streets were part of my area. And while I saw some unique things (and people) along Broadway, I never saw anything quite like Saxon’s glass-breaking tumble, which is pretty much something out an old Western movie — you know, if old Western saloons had drums and electric guitars rather than just a piani.

‘Zoolander 2’ simply relies on jokes from 2001 original

– Media analyst Paul Dergarabedian on the impact of the Super Bowl on the box office (Page 12)

By Aaron Peck Cache movie critic

Like its titular character, the notion of clever irony is completely lost on “Zoolander 2.”

As the movie projects a “Mission: Impossible” mystique, it fails to understand exactly why it’s doing that.

“Austin Powers” understood what makes a funny spy spoof. Stiller and company just don’t have a clue. But perhaps that’s the point.

All the characters are so intentionally, horrifically stupid that it was inevitable that they’d make a braindead movie? Seems about as plausible as any other theory.

The fear of treading into sequel territory with a quotable, well-remembered comedy is that the screenwriters will be content repurposing old jokes hoping to get a few nostalgic laughs. The script for “Zoolander 2” doesn’t even feign interest in that. Early on it throws in the towel and gives up after it whisks through most of the memorable jokes during its opening credits crawl.

This wouldn’t be so bad if it wasn’t so sad. Sad because all the movie’s really doing is pointing and saying, “Hey, remember the The Derek Zoolander School for Kids Who Can’t Read Good?

Ben Stiller, left, Owen Wilson and Penélope Cruz star in “Zoolander 2.”

★ ‘Zoolander 2’ Directors // Ben Stiller Starring // Ben Stiller, Owen Wilson, Penélope Cruz, Will Ferrell, Kristen Wiig, Fred Armisen, Christine Taylor, Benedict Cumberbatch, Olivia Munn, Justin Theroux Rated // PG-13 for crude and sexual content, a scene of exaggerated violence and brief strong lanaguage

Yeah, that was pretty funny right? Yeah. Good times.”

It’s doubly depressing once you realize that not only does the movie not have any new ideas for its old jokes, but it basically doesn’t have any new jokes at all. There were more laughs elicited from the audience during that dreadful “Dumb and Dumber” sequel. The first 20 minutes of this screening you,

could’ve heard a pin drop.

Well, that’s if the sound design wasn’t so ear-splittingly awful.

The sound design is an abomination because it speaks to how literally and figuratively tone deaf this movie is. Sound effects are ramped up to give it the hyper-stylized supposedly ironic feel of a spy movie.

Only, again, the script really has no reason to do this

other than calling attention to itself.

So the sound effects — revving cars, whooshing camera movements, thunderous generic action music — are all pumped up to maximum volume. This creates one of the most grating auditory cinematic experiences in quite some time.

Adding to the cluelessness of the movie is its cameo fever. Whenever the movie isn’t Derek (Stiller) and Hansel (Owen Wilson) talking to each other, it seems like the script is trying to shoehorn in another celebrity for a quick laugh.

Unfortunately, the script is content with showing the celebrity, hoping the audience laughs because another See SEQUEL on Page 12

NEW YORK (AP) — The Coen brothers’ “Hail, Caesar!” and the Jane Austen-monster mashup “Pride and Prejudice and Zombies” followed distantly behind “Kung Fu Panda 3,” which remained on top of the box office over Super Bowl weekend.

DreamWorks Animation’s “Kung Fu Panda” sequel earned an estimated $21 million in its second weekend of release, according to studio estimates Sunday. Joel and Ethan Coen’s ‘50s Hollywood satire “Hail,

Caesar!” opened in second place with an estimated $11.4 million in North American theaters for Universal Pictures.

The two other major new releases struggled.

The Nicholas Sparks’ romance “The Choice” debuted with $6.1 million for Lionsgate. Despite expectations of a No. 2 opening, “Pride and Prejudice and Zombies,” bankrolled

by Cross Creek Picture and released

by Sony’s Screen Gems, eked out a meager $5.2 million.

Though the majority of weekend grosses are made on Fridays and Saturdays, Hollywood generally seeks to avoid competing with the football broadcast and instead sticks largely to counterprogramming. The best Super Bowl weekend remains the 2008 concert film “Hannah Montana and Miley Cyrus” ($31.1 million) followed by an earlier Sparks adaption, 2010’s “Dear John” ($30.5 million).

‘Good Wife’ nears the end CBS unveils plans for series finale during the Super Bowl

LOS ANGELES (AP) — “The Good Wife” creators Robert and Michelle King say they welcomed CBS’ decision to end the series, allowing them to write its final chapter.

The Kings already had decided to exit as executive producers after this season, the seventh, leaving CBS to weigh whether to keep the critically acclaimed show afloat without them.

On Sunday, the network used its Super Bowl telecast to announce that “The Good Wife” was heading into its final nine episodes, with the series finale to air May 8.

The Kings had just learned of the decision in the past week, they told a phone news conference Monday.

“We felt very fortunate and flattered that we’re being allowed to end the show .... the way we

hoped it would end,” Michelle King said. “The Good Wife” airs at 8 p.m. MST Sunday.

CBS may have faced the loss of series star Julianna Margulies as well. At an event last month honoring the Kings, Margulies joked in her speech that she’d only shown up because she would soon be out of work and needed the See WIFE on Page 15

NEW YORK (AP) — In a television competition between notorious criminals, O.J. Simpson topped Bernard Madoff.

The first part of FX’s star-studded miniseries on the former football star’s murder case and trial became the most-watched scripted series premiere in the network’s history, the Nielsen company said.

The “American Crime Story” opener, which stars Cuba Gooding Jr. as Simpson was seen by 12 million people within three days of its premiere. More people watched it either on a time-delayed basis or in one of its two reruns than in its premiere time slot last Tuesday.

ABC’s two-part movie on Madoff, which starred Richard Dreyfuss as the swindler, had more viewers watching when it originally aired than the Simpson premiere, but far fewer who caught it later. With time-delayed viewing within three days added in, the first part of the Madoff movie had 8.3 million viewers with the second part getting 7.9 million, Nielsen said.

Perhaps because the crime hit home, viewers of the Madoff movie were richer than those for a typical TV show. Among people who make more than $100,000 a year, the movie’s viewership beat the average by 25 percent, and for those making more than $200,000, it was up 33 percent, Nielsen said.

Typically the year’s most-watched event, the Super Bowl had just under 111.9 million viewers for CBS. The audience was down from the last two games but it still represented the third most-watched event in U.S. television history.

For the week of Feb. 1-7, the top 10 shows, their networks and viewerships: Super Bowl: Carolina vs. Denver, CBS, 111.86 million; “Super Bowl PostGame” (Sunday, 10:22 p.m.), CBS, 101.93 million; “Super Bowl Post-Game” (Sunday, 10:29 p.m.), CBS, 70.01 million; “The Big Bang Theory,” CBS, 15.29 million; Republican Presidential Debate, ABC, 13.34 million; “Super Bowl’s Greatest Commercials,” CBS, 11.45 million; “American Idol” (Wednesday), Fox, 9.18 million; “Life in Pieces,” CBS, 9.09 million; “American Idol” (Thursday), Fox, 8.94 million; “The X-Files,” Fox, 8.37 million.

‘Deadpool’

“Deadpool” starts off funny enough. Its ironic opening credits listing off character clichés instead of actor names sets a lighthearted, selfaware tone. But the freshness of the movie’s awareness soon wears off as the screenplay dives into a sort of desperate irony. Fans of the character most certainly love this sort of antisuperhero-establishment behavior, and it’s fun up until the point where “Deadpool” starts feeling less like a movie and more like a joke about a movie.

Donning the Deadpool costume is Ryan Reynolds. His snarky style and sardonic wit seem like a match made in heaven for Deadpool aficionados. In a never-ending line of super-serious superheroes, Deadpool injects the genre with some much needed comedy — a superhero who doesn’t take himself so seriously. He and the Joker would get along just fine. The only other comparable Marvel hero is Tony Stark, and even Tony finds moments of solemnity.

“Deadpool” is essentially an origin story, which is told in a skipping chronological fashion. We begin in the middle, pop back to the beginning, and keep hopping around in time until the ultimate climax. Before he was

‘Deadpool’ puts R-rated spin on hero

New director guides highly success

O

n just about any given weekday morning or afternoon — before and after regular classes — the strains of string music fill the air in classrooms and gyms at elementary schools across Cache Valley.

From Richmond to Hyrum, hundreds of fourth and fifth graders show up early to school or stay late afterward with basses, cellos, violas and violins in tow. Wielding horsehair bows, the students strive in unison to produce the sounds of everything from old, familiar standards to contemporary favorites.

These are the pupils of the Mountain West String Academy, an orchestra program for elementary students that began just before the turn of the 21st century and has grown steadily into one of the most successful extracurricular programs in the Cache County School District.

From a handful of students in a pilot program started at Providence Elementary in 1999, Mountain West String Academy is now a part of every elementary school in the Cache district, with 420 fourth and fifth graders enrolled this year.

For most of its relatively short history, the academy grew under the watchful tutelage of Dr. James McWhorter, a locally renowned teacher and conductor who spent his career mentoring and grooming musicians of all ages.

With McWhorter’s retirement last year, the baton of MWSA has been passed into new hands, albeit those of someone who has been a part of the program since its inception.

Taking the reins

From a young age, Patty

Patty Bartholomew teaches a Mountain West String Academy class Tuesday at North Park Elementary School.

Story by Jeffrey DeMoss • Photos by Eli Lucero Bartholomew knew what she wanted to do when she grew up.

“Since junior high, I’ve always wanted to be an orchestra teacher,” said Bartholomew, who took over last July as director of MWSA following McWhorter’s retirement.

MWSA was a need recognized by supportive parents and local music educators.

Bartholomew, along with McWhorter and Marsali Hancock, took the lead with the fledgling program. By 2004, it

had expanded to 230 students representing all elementary schools in the district, giving students the opportunity to learn to play the violin, viola, cello or bass, regardless of their financial standing.

Bartholomew arrived as a music student in 1999 on the Utah State University campus, where McWhorter, her cello teacher, informed her of a teaching opportunity with a new program getting started at Providence Elementary.

“As a music education major, I thought it sounded the perfect way to get some

experience in the real world,” Bartholomew said.

She has since taught music at eight schools throughout the valley, and is constantly reminded of why she chose a career in music — to have the opportunity to inspire young people.

“Teaching beginners is my favorite thing,” she said. “You get to introduce them to something new and exciting. They learn very quickly, and I love seeing the growth that happens.”

Grooming the talent

MWSA accepts any fourth or fifth grader who expresses interest in the program. The teachers have worked together

to develop a curriculum that starts with the proper skills and technique for playing a given instrument, followed by the selection of sheet music that challenges the young students without being too overwhelming.

As the students become more advanced, so does the complexity of the pieces they are assigned to learn.

“We have our own music library of pieces that work at each stage,” Bartholomew said. “We also like playing pieces that kids love and are excited about.”

Selections practiced and eventually performed by the students for live audiences

sful Mountain West String Academy range from familiar, older standards such as “The StarSpangled Banner” to contemporary favorites like “Dragon Slayer.”

One of the biggest challenges for the teachers is keeping students interested during the early stages of the program.

Everyone learns at a different level and pace, and those who don’t pick up on it right away can become frustrated.

“Most of the attrition happens during the first year,” Bartholomew said. “If they make it to the second year, if they make that commitment, a really high percentage continue through to the next level.”

Bartholomew is quick to deflect praise from herself, and credits everyone else involved in making the program the success it has become.

“We couldn’t do it without our amazing faculty,” she said.

“We focus a lot on teacher training. We’re always working to improve and continue to help all teachers grow and progress.”

Aside from learning and just having fun, the main objective in her mind is simply “for every school to have a strong orchestra program.”

Finding the funds

Grant Richardson plays the cello during a Mountain West class at North Park Elementary.

As with any educational endeavor, funding for MWSA is an ongoing challenge, but also one that the people involved have continually risen to meet.

After a group of dedicated parents provided the funds for the program in its formative years, the school district got on board and threw its support behind MWSA with help from a considerable private donation in 2003.

Today, the district provides funding to pay the approxi-

mately 30 teachers and assistants who run the show. Various fundraising efforts pay for the instruments, administrative costs and any other expenses that arise.

Students pay annual fees for instrument rentals in part because “we have found that students take better care of them when they pay a rental fee,” but Bartholomew said all students are welcome regardless of ability to pay. Scholarships are available to those who need help diffusing the cost.

“We’ve never turned a child down who wants to be a part of this,” she said.

Moving forward

The most advanced class within MWSA is the Ambassadors program, an auditiononly group of fifth graders who have the opportunity to play with older, accomplished musicians including local high schools and even the Utah Symphony and the Orchestra at Temple Square.

The Ambassadors have their own concert planned for 6:30 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 27, at the Bullen Center Ballroom in downtown Logan.

Meanwhile, the rest of the MWSA students are busy rehearsing for concerts they will perform for their own schools at assemblies throughout March.

Aside from getting young people interested in orchestra music in the first place, Bartholomew said the most rewarding part of her work is seeing how her young students progress through the years.

“When I go around to middle schools and high schools and see the kids I taught, just seeing them turn into fantastic musicians, it’s the most rewarding thing I can think of.”

During Prohibition from 1920 to 1933, Americans could not produce, sell, transport or import intoxicating beverages. Bootleggers and temperance lobbyists, suffragists and flappers, and legends such as Al Capone and Carry Nation took sides in the battle against the bottle.

These tumultuous times are examined in the national touring exhibit “Spirited: Prohibition in America” that opened at the Brigham City Museum on Jan. 28 and continues through March 16.

Admission is free. The museum is located at 24 N. 300 West in Brigham City.

The exhibit features Prohibition-era photos, artifacts, interactive kiosks, videos and music. Some of the photos that emphasize the split between the “wets” and the “drys” are “Why the Twenties Roared,” “Billy Sunday Preaching,” “Prohibition Sparks a Fashion Revolution,” “Detailed Illustration of a Still,” “Gangsters and their Rap Sheets” and “Eliot Ness and the Untouchables.”

Local photographs about liquor and tobacco in Northern Utah from 1850 on will also be on view, specifically Rudolph Keyser’s Saloon; the Willard Winery and Brewery; the Combination Saloon, Corinne; the Pearl Saloon, Garland; and the Billiard Hall, Brigham City.

competition from his pal Taylor Swift, Ed Sheeran, Alabama Shakes and the Weeknd.

Here’s how Associated Press music writers Mesfin Fekadu and Nekesa Mumbi Moody think Monday night will pan out when the Grammys air live at 6 p.m. MST on CBS from Staples Center in Los Angeles.

ALBUM OF THE YEAR: “Sound & Color,” Alabama Shakes; “To Pimp a Butterfly,” Kendrick Lamar; “Traveller,” Chris Stapleton; “1989,” Taylor Swift; “Beauty Behind the Madness,” The Weeknd.

FEKADU: As a proud citizen of the land that belongs to King Kendrick, I believe he deserves to win — but that won’t happen. While

Stapleton and Weeknd’s albums were impressive, they are not his problem here. Lamar and Swift will split some of the popular votes, which means Alabama Shakes could snag enough to win, and they will come close, but won’t beat “1989.” That album not only marked a transition — one of the most successful of all time — for Swift, but it sold tremendously well, launched seven hit singles and a massive, star-studded world tour — all while Swift took down Apple for not paying musicians and stood her ground against Spotify. Those musicians who aren’t paid, along with indie artists, will be throwing their support to her for album of the year. Tay

Tay for the win.

MOODY: You would think with all those accomplishments, plus taking half the industry on tour with her, Taylor would be a lock. But even though her album is amazing and she was basically deified for battling streaming services, I think there are still folks who may feel — once again — it’s too soon to crown her with the honor when she won it in 2010. Plus, voters love to pick an act left of mainstream as often as possible — as long as it’s not rap (sorry Kendrick). That makes the battle between Stapleton and Alabama Shakes — and while both are

Southern-based acts with electrifying stage shows, the Brittany Howardfronted Alabama Shakes will win voters over.

RECORD OF THE YEAR: “Really Love,” D’Angelo and the Vanguard; “Uptown Funk,” Mark Ronson featuring Bruno Mars; “Thinking Out Loud,” Ed Sheeran; “Blank Space,” Taylor Swift; “Can’t Feel My Face,” The Weeknd.

MOODY: D’Angelo made a brilliant comeback album with “Black Messiah,” but let’s be honest: Virtually no one but die-hard fans and music critics know this song, which wasn’t even the album’s strongest.

Can’t imagine it winning

here. That leaves the hits that actually defined the year: While “Uptown Funk” deserves this badly, Grammy voters adore male singersongwriters in the tradition of James Taylor and more recently, John Mayer, and Ed Sheeran has taken that mantle.

“Thinking Out Loud” wins here.

FEKADU: You are right Nekesa — Sheeran will win here. BUT, for the sake of disagreeing, I am going to go with “Uptown Funk” just because I can’t stop reliving that Super Bowl halftime moment in my head. Bruno is epic.

NEW YORK (AP) — Kendrick Lamar has a chance to become the first rapper to win album of the year since Outkast took the prize in 2004 for “Speakerboxxx/The Love Below.”

He could also be the first rapper OF ALLTIME — said in Kanye voice — to win song of the year.

But if you know The Recording Academy, you know that they often shade rappers when it comes to the top four categories, which include record of the year and best new artist.

Lamar is the leader with 11 nominations, and he’ll likely sweep the rap categories, but we’re predicting he won’t go home with the night’s biggest honors — especially with

Box Continued from Page 6 Paul Dergarabedian, senior media analyst for comScore, called Super Bowl weekend a trade-off for studios that sacrifice a day of moviegoing for the promotional benefit of the game’s mass audience. A number of movie previews were set to play during the broadcast.

“It’s one of those weekends that Hollywood braces for but

quickly realize there was a reason why those scenes were deleted.

They either weren’t funny, rambled too long or distracted from the story at hand.

“Zoolander 2” is like watching a movie comprised entirely of deleted scenes. It has one or two moments, but on the whole it’s a sequel without a single idea where its comedy should come from.

Take for example a creepy CGI version of Fred Armisen that makes Puppymonkeybaby

from Mountain Dew Kickstart’s Super Bowl look not horrible by comparison. Are we supposed to laugh because Armisen’s head is superimposed onto a small gangly body? What’s the joke here? Is there even a joke to begin with?

It would seem the movie just expects us to laugh because of what’s literally on screen.

Sorry, your joke doesn’t begin and end with, “We stuck Fred Armisen’s head on an 11-yearold.” That’s not funny. That’s pitiful.

they know how to course correct before it happens,” Dergarabedian said.

Playing in 2,232 theaters, “Hail, Caesar!” is one of the Coen brothers’ more wide-opening movies, but it earned a dismal C-minus CinemaScore from audiences.

Starring Josh Brolin as a studio fixer in the classic Hollywood era and featuring George Clooney and Channing Tatum as ‘50s stars, “Hail, Caesar!” is the Coens’ most broad comedy since their 2008 “Burn After Reading.” That film opened with $19.1 million.

Alejandro Inarritu’s Oscar-nominated “The Revenant” continues to roll. Its global total is up to $325 million, and “The Revenant” led overseas business with $24 million internationally over the weekend. On Saturday, Inarritu also won best director from the Directors Guild Awards.

In its eight week of release, Walt Disney Co.’s “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” celebrated a pair of milestones over the weekend. It surpassed $900 million at the North American box office and crossed $2 billion globally.

Continued from Page 11 SONG OF THE YEAR (songwriter’s award): “Alright,” Kendrick Lamar, Pharrell Williams, Kawan Prather and Mark Anthony Spears; “Blank Space,” Taylor Swift, Max Martin and Shellback; “Girl Crush,” Liz Rose, Hillary Lindsey and Lori McKenna; “See You Again,” Charlie Puth, Wiz Khalifa, Andrew Cedar and Justin Franks; “Thinking Out Loud,” Ed Sheeran and Amy Wadge.

FEKADU: Everyone has an undeniable crush on “Girl Crush” — including the Grammys. Sorry, King Kendrick.

MOODY: Have to agree here — “Girl Crush” represents a master class when it comes to songwriting. This is the song that your grandkids will be singing one day.

Gone are excitement and enthusiasm.

They disappear with the absence of light, That same light that grants me life.

I struggle, but know that for today The light I rely on and relish must come from within.

BEST NEW ARTIST: Courtney Barnett; James Bay; Sam Hunt; Tori Kelly; Meghan Trainor.

MOODY: Courtney Barnett is the Esperanza Spalding of this category: a singersongwriter musician who’s eclectic, indie, and a critic’s darling — she even runs her own label. Though she’s not well known, she’s edgy, and Grammy voters are desperate to be among the cool kids.

And that’s why she’ll take home the trophy, like Spalding did a few years ago.

FEKADU: Part of the problem is that most of the nominees here seem too new to win. That leaves us with Trainor and Hunt (though British critical darling Bay has a strong chance). But Hunt, who has successfully blended country music with R&B, pop and electronica, along with writing hit songs for his fellow countrymen, has moved mountains in his debut year, and it’s clear he’s only going

just dense.

He borrowed money left and right, But then he spent it every night, And claimed he needed more to pay his rents.

to rise higher — especially with a win here.

BEST POP SOLO PERFORMANCE: “Heartbeat Song,” Kelly Clarkson; “Love Me Like You Do,” Ellie Goulding; “Thinking Out Loud,” Ed Sheeran; “Blank Space,” Taylor Swift; “Can’t Feel My Face,” The Weeknd.

FEKADU: Goulding is a talented singer, so it’s nice to see her get her first Grammy nomination. It’s hard to take Clarkson’s nomination seriously — love that girl — but this song is not worthy here.

The Weeknd won’t win, which makes this the battle of the besties: Sheeran vs. Swift.

Though “Blank Space” is a clever pop song, it’s hard to resist the emotion behind “Thinking Out Loud,” which will take the prize.

MOODY: Ummm, it’s not the song that wins, Mesfin — it’s performance! So Kelly’s voice alone makes her a contender — though not a serious one. That’s through no fault

of her own: The competition is fierce here, so fierce even a megastar like Swift is unlikely to win over Sheeran, whose poignant, sweet and tender “Thinking Out Loud” will come out on top.

BEST ROCK PERFORMANCE: “Don’t Wanna Fight,” Alabama Shakes; “What Kind of Man,” Florence + the Machine; “Something from Nothing,” Foo Fighters; “Ex’s & Oh’s,” Elle King; “Moaning Lisa Smile,” Wolf Alice.

MOODY: Really hard to see how they could not award Alabama Shakes here. There was no better performance.

FEKADU: Don’t sleep on Elle King, Nekesa! Or the Foos! But I don’t wanna fight no more: Alabama Shakes wins here.

BEST COUNTRY ALBUM: “Montevallo,” Sam Hunt; “Pain Killer,” Little Big Town; “The Blade,” Ashley Monroe; “Pageant Material,” Kacey Musgraves; “Travel-

ler,” Chris Stapleton.

FEKADU: All five of these albums are amazing, but Hunt’s album is my favorite, and the only one to sell over one million units. But the newbie will have to take a backseat to another newbie — technically — who also writes songs for other artists. Stapleton wins here.

MOODY: Stapleton had this won when he rocked the Country Music Association Awards with Justin Timberlake last fall. Voters will have that performance in mind when they check off Stapleton’s name.

BEST R&B SONG: “Coffee,” Miguel; “Earned It (Fifty Shades of Grey),” The Weeknd; “Let It Burn,” Jazmine Sullivan; “Really Love,” D’Angelo and the Vanguard; “Shame,” Tyrese.

FEKADU: This is such a great list of R&B songs up for the prize! Too bad the Weeknd’s track was a mega-pop hit, so it easily wins.
