A technocrat and trained economist, Bawumia will face John Dramani Mahama, a populist who was president from 2012 to 2017.Maintaining stability and bolstering the economic recovery will be at the forefront of voters’ minds.

Mariah Carey talks 'timeless' quality of 'All I Want For Christmas Is You'

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 06:40:46 GMT

When Mariah Carey penned "All I Want For Christmas Is You" nearly 30 years ago, she never thought it would become the holiday staple that it is today."Did I know? That it would be this anthem? No, I didn't," she admitted to KTLA 5's Sam Rubin. "Normally, when people ask me questions, like the 'did you know?' type thing, I pretty much say 'Yeah, I knew, I had an idea.' "With this, I didn't know. It was the first Christmas song I'd ever written. I just wanted it to be real to me like to my little girl self. It was like, what are the things I think about Christmas? What did I not want? What did I wish for? You know, all that kind of stuff."Mariah Carey sat down with KTLA 5's Sam Rubin to talk about her upcoming Merry Christmas One and All tour and more. The Merry Christmas One and All tour heads to the Hollywood Bowl on Nov. 17 and 19.This segment aired on the KTLA 5 Morning News on Nov. 8, 2023.

Frankie Valli says he has no plans of this being his final concert tour

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 06:40:46 GMT

Despite what you may have heard, Frankie Valli isn’t ready to say goodbye.“You know? Everybody is thinking that it is my last tour,” says the 89-year-old New Jersey native, who now calls Southern California home. “And I don’t know when my last tour is, personally. If I can continue to do this, as long as I’m not feeling ill, I’ll do it.”Perhaps some of the confusion comes from this tour’s title – The Last Encores – which definitely sounds like something that would be used to mark a last hurrah. Yet, Valli says he’s not waving farewell to touring, but rather his intention is simply dial back some on the road work.“After this year, we will slow down on the amount of things that we do,” he says. “Instead of 70 or 80 or 90 things a year, we will probably cut it down to like 30 or 35.”Yet, why wait for future tours when you still see Valli on this one? The famed singer and his Rock and Roll Hall of Fame group, the Four Seasons, are set to perform on Nov. 12 at the San Jose Civic. Showtim...

After playing pass-first offenses in Washington and Washington State, Stanford fifth-year linebacker Tristan Sinclair is looking forward to facing a different kind of challenge when the Cardinal travel to No. 12 Oregon State Saturday (2:30 p.m. Pac-12 Network).The Beavers (7-2, 4-2) are 15th nationally at 5.21 rushing yards per attempt, and Damien Martinez is second in the Pac-12 at 97.6 rushing yards a game.“Every week you have to adapt,” Sinclair said. “We’re facing a big running back and a big-time running game, and that’s just part of the job. As a linebacker, we’re excited to play this team. It’s fun when teams run the ball. It gets boring when it’s all spread out and we’re always just running to the perimeter and chasing down receivers, so we’re juiced up for this one.”The defense has another reason to be excited – in its previous game, a 10-7 win at Washington State, it held an opponent to seven points for the first time since the 2019 season opener against Northwestern.The C...
