Welcome to The List,
The BEST part of the 4th of July other than food and friends has GOT to be fireworks but Brett Young says he didn’t like setting off fireworks when he was a kid … “I enjoyed watching them from afar. and I was like a very cautious, almost fearful kid. I was afraid that one was gonna blow up in my hand or something and so if we’d go to an event where I could watch from afar I was into to it, but I never wanted to be the one setting them off.”

Chris Young says he’s looking forward to a much better July 4th this year.. “Probably the thing that I’m most excited about for is just the Fourth of July itself. Obviously last year, no one really got a Fourth of July experience, and so, this year with things starting to open up, it looks like it’s gonna be a lot of fun.”

Spotify is quietly testing a new Karaoke mode that cuts the vocals of a song so you can sing along. Then it gives you an accuracy rating. It’s only being offered to some users now, so not everyone has it. Spotify hasn’t even announced it yet, Those who HAVE it will see a “sing” button in the corner of a song’s icon. If you push it, it cuts the vocals so only the music is playing, allowing you to sing along. If you don’t have this feature, you can try updating that app. If you still don’t have it . . . well, you’ll just have to hope they roll it out for everyone.
