It was announced today that Angel will join a host of politicians and stars from the world of sports and will perform at the Beating The Odds Student Rally on May 10, 2005 , 11 a.m. at Heinz Field in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania . Among other items on the agenda, there will also be a military fly-over in tribute to the U.S. troops and their families. The Beating The Odds Foundation is an organization that is near and dear to Angel's heart as she (along with music star Kenny Loggins ) sits on their Celebrity Advisory Board. Also there is a home-town connection because her family, not to mention Ron Clapper the president of her label Midas Records, is from Pennsylvania . Angel is very familiar with inspiring young people due to her year-long VH1 Save The Music tour, where Angel performed at over 200 schools and talked to approximately 175,000 students about not using drugs, alcohol and tobacco. She is currently in pre-production for the follow-up to her debut solo album Believe In Angels… Believe In Me with hit-making producers Tim Kelly and Bob Robinson (Destiny's Child, Sisqo, Babyface, Boyz II Men).

AN ANGELIC DAY AT THE RACES * * * Teen pop sensation Angel Takes A Break from VH1 Save The Music Tour to Hit Daytona 500 And Perform Radio Disney Show at NYC's Intrepid Sea-Air-Space Museum * * * “Lessons In Love,” Follow-up Single to #2 Dance Hit “How Can I Lie,” Soon To Be Serviced To Pop Radio And Dance Clubs As if her breakneck schedule this past year with Midas Records Presents: The VH1 Save The Music Tour isn't enough of a whirlwind, teen pop sensation Angel—celebrating the recent success of her #2 Billboard dance chart hit “How Can I Lie”—was off to the races (literally) in mid-February, sitting in the VIP section as a specially invited guest at the Daytona 500 with some mighty fast Hollywood company. She shared the February 20 festivities in Daytona Beach , Florida with Ashton Kutcher, Demi Moore, Matthew McConaughey, Brian Wilson, Clint Black and Vanessa Williams. From there, Angel raced up the coast to join forces with Radio Disney AM 560 in New York to meet fans and perform at New York City 's Intrepid Sea-Air-Space Museum on Feburary 25, during a specially designated Kids Week. The event, in which the singer sang live on the Intrepid, was a follow-up of sorts to a December performance she did in conjunction with Radio Disney at the Evening of Giving charity event at the Menlo Park Mall in Edison , NJ . Angel's show was part of a weeklong Kids Week celebration, in which the Intrepid Museum teamed up with a long list of partners to provide educational and interactive programming, including multiple stations for kids where they could learn from museum educators and create their own crafts to take home. The Kids Zone operated operated every day during Kids Week to provide interactive activities based on the museum's educational programs. Other activities during the week included: Puppet Theater, Magicians, Science Shows, Dance Performances, Face Painting, games and prizes. “I think it's so cool that kids in New York City have their own week to be creative and have exciting new learning experiences,” Angel says. “I was very happy to participate and had a great time seeing everyone there!” Earlier in February, Angel was a presenter at the 16 th annual Pollstar Concert Awards, held on February 4 th at the Wiltern LG in Los Angeles . She presented the award for Best New Major Concert Venue and was greeted fondly by the other presenters, many of whom are legends in the music business. All of this activity was extracurricular to her headlining duties with Midas Records Presents: The VH1 Save The Music Tour. Angel has been touring schools and malls since last March, discussing the value of keeping music programs alive in the schools and talking to students about avoiding drugs, alcohol and tobacco to help achieve their dreams. Thus far, she has performed at over 200 schools in front of more than 175,000 kids. Angel has won accolades from the press (including Teen Newsweek), teachers and parents for these efforts as well as the clean-cut lyrics of her debut solo album, Believe In Angels… Believe In Me . The album was recently released in Japan as well. “How Can I Lie” recently hit the #2 spot on Billboard magazine's Hot Dance Music Club Play Top 50 chart, just under the top spot occupied by superstar Seal. The track had received the royal treatment with two remixes, one by Ralphi Rosario and another by Eddie Baez to keep the song pumping on the dance floor and specialty radio from late 2004 to the present. A remix video version is also being blasted in the clubs and on video channels. Even as “How Can I Lie” still lights up the clubs and listener request lines, Midas is gearing up to ship its follow-up single “Lesson's In Love” to Top 40 radio and out to the club culture. The dance version will once again get remixes by Rosario and then by Norty Cotto. Angel has also been in the studio lately with producers Tim Kelly and Bob Robinson (Destiny's Child, Sisqo, Babyface, Boyz II Men). There will be more exciting Angel news in the weeks to come.

Check out the "Q & A" with ANGEL about her trip to Japan !!! 1) Q: Before you arrived in Japan , what did you think it would be like? A: I thought it would be fun. I had never been there before so I was excited to travel somewhere new.
2) Q: Now that you have been there is it like you expected or different? Please explain . A: It's a lot like I thought it would be, really busy, crazy and exciting. The shopping was really cool. It was kind of like a huge Times Square . 3) Q: What are your fondest memories of your trip? A: One of the coolest things was my showcase. Everything just went so well. I couldn't have asked for anything better. Everyone was so supportive. It was just a lot of fun!
4) Q: How did you like the food? What did you try that was completely a new taste for you? A: Ummm.the food was definitely different, ha ha. I'm not really a fish fan, so that was a problem since like the most common thing was fish! Something new that I tried was sweet beans, I wasn't really very excited about those, lol. 5) Q: When you performed, what were the fans like? Did they already know your music from the radio etc? A: The fans were great! They were singing along and screaming. It was really cool. But something unique was that when I looked out into the audience, all I could see was camera phones. They were really popular there .
6) Q: What was the strangest thing that happened? A: One thing that was really strange was one night we went to a hibachi grill (Benihana type place) and when you ordered shrimp, they would take it out of the tank and put it on the grill right in front of you ALIVE!!!! Awwwwww it made me so sad, you had to watch it die. It was strange and really upsetting. I felt so bad for the shrimps. 7) Q: What did you learn about the fashions and musical tastes of the teens there? A: It's a lot like here. They're totally into trends and fads. They seem to listen to a lot of the same music that we listen to.
8) Q: Did you see any of the tourist sites. what did you really enjoy or find interesting? A: I went to a few different places, but the most interesting was this religious temple/church and in there you can get your fortune. I got a BAD fortune!!! So when people get a bad fortune they can hang it on this board to get rid of the bad. You bet that's what I did!
9) Q:What did you miss most back in the USA ? A: The FOOD! My BED! ENGLISH! It's so hard when people don't understand what you are saying.
10) Q: Anything funny happen due to language or cultural differences? A: Actually, yes. My mom and I kept sticking our chopsticks upright in our bowls and leaving them there. In Japan by doing that, you are offering your food to the dead and we didn't know that.
11) Q: Did you bring back any fun souvenirs? A: Yes I did! A lot of clothes! Haha I did a lot of shopping.
12) Q: Would you like to return to Japan and other parts of Asia to tour in the near future? A: Absolutely! I learned so much while I was there. It would be neat to see other parts of Asia too.
