Sophie Ellis-Bextor says AI cannot copy human connection in music
Sophie Ellis-Bextor has said she thinks there is "something about human connection in music" that is "impossible" for AI to mimic, as she was named best female at the O2 Silver Clef Awards. The Mu rder On The Dancefloor singer, 46, said she is "sure AI will have a place" in her industry, but that it will be "very hard" for it to mimic imperfections. She told the PA news agency: "I think there's something about the human connection in music that is impossible to mimic. "I think the nuances and complexity of a human heart are something that only we have the hold the key to, really. "So I'm sure AI will have its place actually. But I think when it comes to imperfections that we hold, it's very hard for something to mimic imperfections. "We're very good at doing that, so I think, I think we've got that safe actually." The singer was awarded alongside Rick Astley, who received the outstanding achievement in music award; Noah Kahan, who was handed the best male award; and band Idles, who were named best live act. Amarillo singer Tony Christie, who received the icon award, was diagnosed with dementia four years ago but has previously said he will not let the illness stop him. He told PA at the London ceremony that he discovered he had dementia after struggling with crossword puzzles. "All my life I've been good at crosswords and things like that," the 82-year-old said. "Suddenly, I was struggling with crosswords." The singer said that after his diagnosis, his doctor told him it is beneficial that he is in music, as listening to songs could help slow his deterioration. "It makes people listen," Christie said. "Instead of sitting there quiet and worrying about it, they listen to music." The O2 Silver Clef awards celebrate artists who touch the lives of people through their music and the event helps to raise funds for Nordoff and Robbins to provide music therapy for vulnerable people across the UK. Mika, who was given the global impact award, told of what Nordoff and Robbins means to him. "I had loads of issues growing up," the Grace Kelly singer told PA. "I was kicked out of school. I was super dyslexic and bullied and so I hid in my own world. "The only thing that pulled me out of that was music. "So it kind of was a therapy, without even me realising it was happening and that changed my whole life. "After being kicked out of school, I started working, I started doing music, I felt like a person again, and from then, I never left."

Superman star David Corenswet hopes to bring hero to a new generation
David Corenswet, the actor playing Superman in the latest iteration, has said he is hoping to bring the character "to a new generation". Watch: Behind the scenes of Superman Corenswet also spoke of the experience of making the character "his own", at a red-carpet event in London's Leicester Square on Wednesday. The 31-year-old, who has the dual role of Clark Kent and his Kryptonian alter-ego, told the PA news agency: "You can't help but make it your own. "I wish I could just give the great performances that have come before, but I couldn't help but do my own thing. "So much of [the history] is already in the character and people's knowledge and love of the character. "So that sort of came for free, and I just had the great opportunity to maybe explore some different forms of the character and hopefully bring him to a new generation who maybe haven't had their first Superman experience." He joked that he did not have big shoes to fill, as his were custom-made, so they "fit like a glove". The James Gunn-directed remake, described as "the true beginning of the DC Universe", sees Twisters actor Corenswet protecting Earth from Nicholas Hoult's scheming Lex Luthor. Gunn, a self-confessed DC Comics superfan, co-chief executive of DC Studios and writer of the reboot, said he has brought his favourite elements of the comics into the 21st century - including superhero dog Krypto. "This is really about presenting the Superman to the world that I love and have loved since I was a kid," Gunn told PA. The Marvellous Mrs Maisel actress Rachel Brosnahan stars as Lois Lane, and her romantic connection with Clark Kent has been teased in a trailer in which they stare at each other in The Daily Planet newspaper offices and later embrace. Brosnahan said filming with her co-stars and Gunn was "a blast". She said: "[The film] gave us the opportunity to deepen the relationship between Lane and Kent and explore more deeply this relationship that you've come to know in the comics for so many years." On playing a reporter, the 34-year-old said: "I have a whole new appreciation and, also, I'm on to your tips and tricks." Gunn, famed for Marvel film series Guardians of the Galaxy and the DC Comics movie The Suicide Squad, said he is excited for fans to see the personal interactions between Lane and Kent. He added: "I'm excited for every piece of it, and it really warms my heart that all of these people are so excited to be here." The film also stars several DC superheroes, including Mister Terrific (Edi Gathegi), Metamorpho (Anthony Carrigan), Green Lantern (Nathan Fillion), and Hawkgirl (Isabela Merced). It will be released in Irish cinemas on 11 July by Warner Bros Pictures.

Katie Boulter OUT of Wimbledon as she's stunned by world No101 who originally FAILED to qualify for tournament
KATIE BOULTER crashed out to lucky loser Solana Sierra - and could not even blame misfortune on it. The British No2 had a shocker for the majority of her 1hr53mins out on a half-empty Court No1, save for an impressive first-set fightback. 3 Katie Boulter was out of sorts against her lucky loser opponent Credit: Getty 3 Solana Sierra produced a brilliant performance on No1 Court Credit: PA That revival had seen And from then the supporters who had turned up were half-expecting a comfortable victory for the Leicester-born London resident.

READ MORE WIMBLEDON She certainly made the most of it and was much the better, more consistent, of the two players, setting up a third-round tie with Spaniard Cristina Bucsa. As for Boulter, she will look back ruefully on a complacent display which saw her lay down 14 double faults and 36 unforced errors. It was chalk and cheese compared to her But the world No43 was nowhere near at that level against a much-lower ranked opponent in this second round, and paid for it dearly.
