My singing voice is rarely tested, except for the occasional Happy Birthday. But a music festival choir singalong changed everything

When I was 16 I eagerly auditioned for our high school musical, singing a verse and the chorus from the Irene Cara song Flashdance … What a Feeling. Instead of taking the music teacher’s advice and picking something suitable for my voice, I chose this song because I secretly wanted to be just a dancer with a welding mask – just like the star of the film.

Preparations were intense. I spent hours rehearsing at home, nailing down the lyrics and watching the same scene over and over on my treasured VHS copy of Flashdance. I would have attempted some of the dance moves too but it was clear to everyone that was never going to be to my advantage.

Is the US president exploiting popular resentment towards elite colleges to achieve his political goals? Ed Pilkington reports

Harvard University filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration on Monday on the grounds that a recent $2bn (£1.5bn) funding freeze was unlawful. It is the most significant act of resistance taken by a US college in response to Trump’s crackdown on higher education.

Ed Pilkington, chief reporter for Guardian US, explains to Michael Safi that capitulating to Trump’s demands would have severely undermined Harvard’s reputation, and that the administration was targeting it for being a bastion of liberal thought.

Belfast rappers criticised by US conservatives and Sharon Osbourne for the pro-Palestine and anti-Israel content of their set

Irish-language rap group Kneecap have responded to criticism of statements they made about Israel during their Coachella performance on the weekend, saying that statements are “not aggressive” in comparison to Israel’s attacks on Gaza.

The millennial musician and comedian on the clips that melt her brain, from Christian rap to 2012-core esoterica and an epic televised free-jazz fail

• Get our weekend culture and lifestyle email

I’m a millennial musician who was there at the buttcrack of dawn of MySpace and YouTube, so girl, I’VE BEEN THERE FROM THE BEGINNING. Did my personal MySpace page have a nauseating Lisa-Frank-on-acid aesthetic with a mouse cursor that transformed into a unicorn spewing glitter when it moved? Absolutely. Did I have a Xanga page with cringe poetry that detailed things I wanted to do to Keanu Reeves while Such Great Heights played on a loop in the background? Of course my basic ass did.

I think my internet sense of humour is rooted mainly in a deep, sincere love for bad music, which is any music that gives me a manic grin and makes me whisper to myself, “What the fuck … ” I need to know how these works of art got greenlit. I need to know why there are 17 lead vocal tracks on the Cadillac song (see below). I need to know if Nick Jonas practised AT ALL before going on stage at the CMAs. I need to know if the Christian music influencers know they are using a blaccent, or if they know a single Black person. Either way, the results are a gift to us all. Or a gift to me, anyway.
