Rather than follow regular protocol this week where we post JetBlue or BlueCity pics from three finalists and put them to a public vote, we’ve decided to mix things up a bit. This week, we’re highlighting three from our ten most viewed images from our Flickr site.
Did you know that we have close to 13,000 images on our Flickr page with more than 200,000 views?
Next up in our Live From T5 Concert Series will be an exclusive, intimate concert by Columbia Records Grammy Award winning singer, songwriter and record producer Raphael Saadiq on Friday, April 8. The Live from T5 concert with Raphael Saadiq will be the first in the series hosted on a Friday, much to the enjoyment of Customers starting their weekend traveling with us.
Raphael Saadiq, considered the standard bearer for “old school” R&B, is celebrating the classic sounds of the 60s and 70s soul with a futuristic twist on Stone Rollin’. Featuring ten new tracks, the album is the follow up to Saadiq’s 2008 solo album The Way I See It, which boasted four Billboard R&B chart singles and was nominated for three Grammy Awards including Best R&B Album. Now with this new collection, Saadiq nods to his heroes like Chuck Berry, Stevie Wonder, Little Walter and Sly Stone, while merging his own contemporary sound, one born out of a combination of his recent touring experiences, as well as inspiration derived from indie acts that hold regular rotation in his iPod.
Today is St. Patrick’s Day, a public holiday celebrated in Ireland and in countries around the world commemorating the most commonly recognized patron saint of Ireland. A fun fact about the holiday is that the original color associated with St. Patrick was blue, but as time passed, more and more people started wearing green to celebrate and became the color we now associate with the holiday.
Stop by our T5 Marketplace at JFK throughout the day to catch some live performances including traditional Irish music performed by The Atlantis Wave, step dancing troupes from the USG Performing ARTS, the Shehan Gormley School of Irish Dance and the Donny Golden School of Irish Dance, and our next Live from T5 recording artist, Julie Feeney.
In addition, green beer will be available for purchase at T5′s New York Sports Grill, select restaurants will be offering Jameson drink specials, and Irish Fare including Corned Beef and Cabbage and Sheppard’s Pie will be served in the Food Court. Complimentary goodies including shamrocks and Irish chocolates will be given out throughout the day.

About Julie Feeney
Julie Feeney performs live
Julie Feeney is a dramatic and stylish chamber-pop singer, composer, orchestrator and producer and the winner of the Choice Music Prize for ‘Irish Album of the Year,’ Ireland’s equivalent of the Mercury Music Prize. Her innovative sound and live show, while rooted in classical music, straddles the pop and theatrical worlds. She recently received a 10-minute standing ovation from a capacity audience of 1200 at Ireland’s National Concert Hall and she has sold out numerous Irish shows to rave reviews. Her music is widely broadcast on Irish TV and radio and her live show combines elements of theatre and performance art. For Live from T5, Julie Feeney will be the first to wear a Joanne Hynes-Helen Steele punk rocker sheep silk printed dress, which was made from video performance art by the art fashion duo Hynes and Steele. The ensemble was the opening look at London fashion week in February 2011.
Some weeks have the distinctive feel of “beginning” or “end”; of triumph or defeat. This week in the airline industry, many companies announced their fourth quarter and annual earnings, letting the world know — and investors — what the next year will look and feel like.
In more heartwarming airline news this week, the CFO of Republic (which runs Frontier Airlines) had an eye-opening experience after he went on TV show Undercover Boss, and realized that a lot of the protocol the airline had in place was not efficient (making a CEO scrub a toilet is bound to be a wake-up call of some variety). Hollywood stud Matt Dillon reportedly helped a sick airline passenger this week in yet another case of the rich and famous committing humbling acts of conscience-bearing good will. And a pilot held up a plane to wait for a grandpa so that he could make it to say goodbye to his dying grandson. It’s likely that precipitous karma from the two-year anniversary this week of Captain Sully’s “miracle on the Hudson” landing made the aforementioned acts of kindness possible.
Famed singer-songwriter James Blunt rocked T5 last night as part of our Live From T5 Concert Series with a stunning performance to a big crowd of surprised and delighted Customers and Crewmembers. See below for some photos from the event.
We’re proud to announce the next up in our Live From T5 concert series, a free, private concert by Custard/Atlantic recording artist James Blunt on Tuesday, January 18 at JFK’s T5. The Live from T5 concert will celebrate the release of five-time Grammy nominated, British singer/songwriter Blunt’s hugely anticipated new album “Some Kind of Trouble,” which lands at U.S. stores and online retailers that same day.
About James Blunt
With global album sales now at a staggering 18 million, James Blunt is without question among the most gifted and successful singer/songwriters of his generation. He first captured the world’s attention in 2005 with his 2x RIAA platinum-certified debut, “BACK TO BEDLAM,” which featured the history-making #1 classic, “You’re Beautiful.” ”ALL THE LOST SOULS” followed two years later, debuting atop the album charts in 10 countries and earning unanimous critical acclaim for such hits as “1973″ and “Same Mistake.” For up-to-the-minute news and information, please visit www.jamesblunt.com and www.myspace.com/jamesblunt
