It also comes in second in sales this week to Kanye West’s power house My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy. But Nicki Minaj is at a really great place in her career. She’s sitting on that precipice between being “that girl rapper from Young Money that wants her py on your sideburns” and a break through hip hop artist that could carry top 40 hits. Pink Friday is probably the album that will tip Minaj over the other side into a household name. It’s a kaleidoscope of pop arrangements, electronica and hip hop and it’s really a a great pop record. It opens with pop standard “I’m The Best,” with
Minaj boasting over synthy brass but it sets a really appropriate mood for the album. Clicky drums and electronica pads carry her as she raps about where she came from, where she is now, it’s celebratory and deserved. The album has a bevy of stand outs and all of them are both radiosingleworthy but keep their individuality. It’s a bit shocking to hear so much mainstream hip hop funneled through Minaj’s bi polar, offthewalls rapping ability. She can’t sit still; when the beats aren’t great, she still is. “Right Thru Me,” “Moment 4 Life” featuring Drake, “Check It Out” featuring will.i.am which samples “Video Killed The Radio Star,” and “Save Me” all have the same sensibilities, which is something rooted in hip hop 63#%*)/'1#)02%',#%",'/')*%#,%1#:% Sure there’s autotuner (a palat able amount) but there’s also real heart in there.

Pink Friday tries to dip into more gritty, or at least more traditional hip hop, on the tracks “Roman’s Revenge” featuring Eminem and “Did It On’em” Minaj brings back the no holds barred rap style she dominates the Kanye West track “Monster” with. The two aren’t a misstep, but they could be stronger, or they could be better integrated into the rest of the album. The track “Save Me” is prob ably the oddest though, bringing the mood all the way down to a ballad that sounds more like The Postal Service than anything else. The best comparison one could make to what Pink Friday sounds like is probably Kanye West’s Graduation or Kid Cudi’s Man on the Moon: The End of the Day, where pop and hip hop all mixed together so cavalierly that the two facets are indistinguishable.

The Art of Healing, an annual event produced by the Progressive Students Union
(PSU), was put on Tuesday night in Adams Playhouse. The event was advertised as a night of entertainment that would incorpo rate values concerning activism
and awareness. The event was free, but it was asked that you donate a certain amount of money to the Hempstead Boys and Girls Club.

Amanda Beneway (Left) and Mary Kate Pedro (Right) hosted the “Art of Healing” event on Tuesday evening.

Gran Turismo 5, which was !"#$%&''()'*+,%&$%-../0#%123% Electronic Entertainment Expo, has been long awaited since the showing of PS3 and Vision Gran Turismo at E3 2005.

As usual with the series, the visuals for the series are top notch and the attention to detail is impressive. The bad thing is that premium cars are the only cars that come with an interior view and are vastly more visu ally pleasing than the standard cars. However, the eye to detail is still fairly impressive as every
little thing about the vehicles is brought out – from the shine to the depth of the rendering done on the cars. Also what makes the visuals element even more impressive, is the damage system. The crashes and damage done to the cars use realistic physics, but they are also detailed as to what parts of the car fall off, and how the cars run after crashing. There are also many minor details that are displayed during races such as 97:6$7':%"+;+*$#%&',%$6+%<(#7$7('% of the sun to the car.

If songwriting is like child birth, then Bedroom Databank is a handful of Bradford Cox’s (of Deerhunter fame) abor tions, posted on his blog for free consumption.

Still, even Cox’s abortions are a great deal more interesting than many like minded artists’ serious efforts.

However, for example, when Pink is alluding to the absence of his father, the backdrop of war combat explains to the audience his father died as a soldier. The scene of a man drowning in what looks like blood and the deformed cartoon characters, in particular, intensify the mood of the play, giving it an eccentric, almost grotesque vibe. Another high point in the musical, of course, is the music. Alltime classics like “Another Brick in the Wall,” and “Is There Anybody Out There?” are two of the most powerful songs. They are performed as Pink realizes the adults in his life are trying to control him, and that everyone has abandoned him. The recur ring themes of isolation and alien ation in his life are the key factors leading to his mental break down. All in all, this musical has an impressive cast of actors, a dedi cated production team and an exceptional selection of music.

“It’s a Wonderful Life” is a classic holiday favorite.
By Aaron Calvin ASSISTANT ENTERTAINMENT EDITOR
The holidays are just around the bend and soon we’ll all be at
home setting up our Christmas trees or Chanukah menorah or what have you. So while you’re drinking your eggnog or hot chocolate and setting up for all
sorts of festivities, you’ll need an equally festive soundtrack. Here are a few suggestions from my personal catalog of holiday favorites: 1. “Christmas Time Is Here” A classic tune off of the Vince Guaraldi Trio soundtrack for A Charlie Brown Christmas, this song is classic Christmas. For a more modern version, look for song as done by Belle and Sebastian or Gatsby’s American Dream. 2. “Happy Xmas (War Is Over)” Full of spirit of the season with a touch of John Lennon, this applies the whole “and good will to men” theme in a broad sense. 3. “Merry Christmas Baby” – A great song to play for the one you’re happy to spending Christmas with (or sad to be missing). You can go with Charles Brown ballad or the upbeat take from Bruce Springsteen and The
E Street Band. 4. “Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)” – Nothing wrong with a little bit of lament to break up the seasonal cheer. U2 does a heartfelt rendition of the song, but my personal favorite is Death Cab for Cutie’s take. 5. “Blue Christmas” – Low and crooning, it’s hard to beat this heartfelt song. The Elvis Presley version is classic stand by, but if you’re in the market for some thing a little bit more yearning, the band Bright Eyes does an admirable remake. 6. “Baby, It’s Cold Outside” – A fun duet remind us that everyone needs a little warmth during the holidays. The adaptation involv ing Ray Charles is both playful and musically well done. Another version worth looking into is a new interpretation from Norah Jones and Willie Nelson. 7. “I’ll Be Home For Christmas
(If Only In My Dreams) “ – It’s hard to beat Old Blue Eyes for the holidays. This Frank Sinatra classic never seems to get too old. 8. “It’s Christmas! Let’s Be Glad!” – A distillation of what Christmas should mean in today’s culture. Sufjan Stevens has penned a short and simple song about being glad, even if the year has been bad. 9. “Christmas of Love” – This jaunty song from Little Isidore & The Inquisitors is perfect for dancing around the Christmas tree or just having a good time in general. 10. “River” – Originally penned by Joni Mitchell, my favorite ver sion comes from Herbie Hancock featuring Corinne Bailey Rae on vocals. Rae’s voice brings out the beauty in this somber tune, while Hancock’s playing gives this deli cate song a tender treatment.

Christmas is here at Radio City Music Hall with the annual arrival of the Rockettes and the Radio City Christmas Spectacular. You can feel the holiday season approaching. There is no better way to gain a little holiday cheer than to see the Christmas Spectacular. !"#$%"&'$(%$)**#+$'(,"$,'#*-#$ different numbers that are not necessarily related directly. Each number features a small dancing ensemble, a chorus of six people,and, of course, the famous Rockettes. There is no way to describe the Rockettes
other than breathtaking. Each dancer is perfectly in sync with the other performers on stage, and each of their moves are crisp and sharp. Though some steps are frequently repeated through out the show, the dances are simply amazing and include the famous kick line.

With such wonderful dancers on stage, it is hard to pay attention to the actors in the background lip sync ing. However, they add to the effect of the show and make the
scenes seem more realistic, and therefore, are an integral part of the show. The cutest ensemble members are the child actors.

The Rockettes’ costumes were as stunning as the women who wore them. During “Sleigh Ride” I was amazed to see their reindeer
There is no way to describe the Rockettes other than breathtaking

The girls also performed a quick change during “New York at Christmas” while inside a double decker bus that maneuvers itself on stage. In addition, nothing is more surprising than watch ing live camels and sheep being guided on stage during “The Living Nativity.” The Christmas Spectacular is a fantastic show to kick off the holiday season. While those who have seen the show before will recognize almost all of the num bers, it still makes for one of the most wonderful times of the year.

The “78th annual Christmas Tree Lighting in Rockefeller Center” aired Tuesday
The Christmas season was rung in a little early this year with two holiday specials on TV this week. ABC gave the stars of country music their own special night to sing classic Christmas songs with a little bit of twang Monday night with “CMA Country Christmas.” Sugarland’s Jennifer Nettles hosted the hour and a half special in which Brad Paisley, Martina McBride, Reba McEntire and others sang about the season of celebrating. NBC followed in ABC’s foot steps the next night with a two hour “78th annual Christmas Tree Lighting in Rockefeller Center.” Singers like Josh Groban, Boyz II Men, Sheryl Crow and Susan Boyle sang renditions of classic Christmas songs. The Radio City Rockettes also preformed during
the special. The interesting difference between these two shows was that one was taped and the other was live. This difference was made very evident. “CMA Country Christmas” was taped and the performances were crisp and clean sounding with no errors to be found. Meanwhile, on the Tree Lighting, Charice, the Filipina teen singer made famous by Oprah, was bewildered when her prerecorded music did not play 2,$)5%,9$<"#$23+$,"#$20+(#36#$ had heard, instead, the end of the Boyz II Men music. David Foster, the piano player accom panying Charice, saved the day by announcing that it was live TV and things like that could happen. Her song started a few seconds later and the show, as they say, went on. Whether taped or live, both specials did what was most important to them: they honored
the troops serving overseas. Both played the same song, “I’ll Be Home for Christmas” in hopes that the troops would be home soon. During the “CMA Country Christmas,” Rascal Flatts sang a special rendition of “I’ll Be Home for Christmas.” The song started with a graphic of a large advent calendar.

Leslie Nielsen passed away at the age of 84 this week and left behind a legacy of comedy that few can match. In the 80s and 90s, he was the face of the parody genre. His deadpan por trayal of Dr. Rumack in Airplane! led to possibly his most famous role as Lt. Frank Drebin in the Naked Gun franchise. !"#$%"&'%(")*('+,-./,"(+"0/%1)/" Nielsen by my mother when I was in middle school. She took me to a video store (remember those?) and suggested that I might like Airplane!. I did. It was the movie for me that changed the way I looked and thought about humor. The mix of slapstick and sight gags thrown over deadpan humor was revo lutionary for me, even 20 years after it was released. He had the gift that very few comedic actors had, which was the ability to be funny regardless of the material. His aloof face, his completely straight oblivious ness— he was always spot on.
Nielsen started his career as $",'$2$()."$.(+'3")*"&12%"1)4/" Forbidden Planet and later The Poseidon Adventure. But of the chance to play comedies he once (+1,"56/"78"(6$("6/"6$,"&*$119" found his home. After his role in Airplane!, Leslie Nielsen became the face of funny. Naked Gun led to more Naked Gun movies, which led to Dracula: Dead And Loving It, which led to Wrongfully Accussed, which led to 2001: A Space Travesty. As I got older I realized the spoof movies were losing steam, but my love for seeing Nielsen’s familiar face never did. He had already ignited a love of humor in me that has never gone away. It’s strange to say, but Nielsen went before his time. He had been beaten by the end of the golden age of spoofs and his 2+%("'/./*("'+1/%")*"&12%"1)4/" Scary Movie 3, Scary Movie 4 and Superhero Movie denied him the comeback he deserved.

Movies that eventually evolved into the “blank movie” formula (Epic Movie, Disaster Movie, and the like) created by the enemies of modern comedy Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer. It’s heart breaking, it’s not fair and it’s a tragedy. With every role he’d pop up in was the hope that maybe he’d turn it around and come back to comedy. Maybe the world was ready for smart parody, maybe he’d get the Bill Murray treatment and be given a second chance. =$9>/"%+2/"9+-*?"&122$4/'%" would realize he was the perfect &("<+'"$"*/#"$?/"+<";$'+,9@ But he never did.

terrible to see you go in such a way. Of course, I think he put it better. “A parachute not open ing... that’s a way to die. Getting
