Amazon's Alexa+ update, which automatically changed the device's voice to a more conversational and teenage girl-like tone, has frustrated many users who did not consent to the change. Users find the new voice overly chatty and intrusive, with some considering switching to other brands. However, the update can be reverted through the Alexa app or voice command, though many are unhappy with the forced nature of the update.
Italian singer Andrea Bocelli has shared an update on the "health challenges" affecting his voice after canceling last-minute concerts in Boston and Philadelphia. Bocelli expressed his regret to fans and explained that he considers his voice a gift and a responsibility to share. He assured fans that he will continue to travel and sing as long as he has the strength. The canceled shows will be rescheduled at a later date. Bocelli's upcoming concert in Hartford, Connecticut, is still scheduled to take place.
