The number of ways to choose 6 songs from a list of 9 songs is given by the combination formula:
C(n, k) = n! / (k!(n-k)!)
where n is the total number of songs (9) and k is the number of songs to be chosen (6).
C(9, 6) = 9! / (6!(9-6)!)
C(9, 6) = 84
Therefore, there are 84 different musical entertainment lineups possible for the event.
