My Take on the MTV VMA Drama

So I am sure you have heard about the whole VMA fiasco. When Kanye West stormed on the stage and interrupted Taylor when she was accepting her award for " Best Female Video". He took the mic from her and went on about how Beyonce should have won instead of her . I mean, that was just plain rude. I know he may not be a fan of Taylor or anything and felt strongly that Beyonce should have won, but to publicly humiliate a teenager like that? I mean cmon . He took the mic from her and made it perfectly clear Beyonce should have been the one standing on the stage instead of her! I wonder how Taylor must have felt. He dissed her on national television and ruined her 'big moment'. Beyonce must have wanted to run away and hide behind her purse because of how Kanye was acting like a dumb fool. You should have seen her face.

Of course he was criticized and alot of people are pissed off. Like seriously angry at Kanye. Not only are people like me and the rest of the world annoyed at this act of rudeness, but Obama even commented on the situation. Yes, Obama. You know the president of the United States of America. Barack Hussein Obama. Yeah, he called Kanye a "jackass". I was rolling on the floor laughing because of that. Who knew the former Harvard student and president of the freaking country would even care about the VMAs. I mean really. Hes got a demanding job but at least he has the time to catch up on whats happening in Tinsletown and calling celebrities "jackasses". Classic.

Anyway, back on the Kanye West dissing thing. Now, when I first heard about it through my friend Jess I was like" OMG!" but really didn't care. I've got more pressing issues in my life at the moment. But since its Friday I thought " oh well, what the heck". I read numerous articles about the issue and even watched the videos and I saw for myself. Now I am not going to rant on about how he is a jerk and all. It is not our job as humans to judge but I just find it strange that this is not the first time he has interrupted someone while they were saying their acceptance speech.

In November 2006, during the MTV Europe Awards Kanye West's video " Touch the Sky" failed to win. Kanye was so upset about his losing to Justice and Simian "We Are Your Friends" video that he stormed on stage, while they were saying their acceptance speech and made everyone know that HE should have won the award instead. He apologized for that event. Then a few days before the MTV Video Music Awards this year 2009 he was upset about not being chosen for the opening of the awards. He claimed race had to do with it."Maybe my skin’s not right" was what he said because Britney Spears had been chosen instead of him. Then the whole Taylor Swift thing happened. But how nice was it of Beyonce to let Taylor finish her speech?

So as you can see it is a pattern. It is not the first time this has happened. I do think what he did was wrong but I don't think he is a bad person. In a way it was kind of nice of him to mention his friend, Beyonce was the best but maybe it should have been done privately. After watching him on the 'Jay Leno Show' I began to feel sorry for him. I mean think about it. The guy has been through so much. He lost his mother and fiance. And it seems this losing of his mother has left him heartbroken. He is still hurting inside so in order to make himself feel better he is taking out his hurt and anger on others. And can you see the direction his music has taken. From singing about happy fun things he is now singing about heartbreak,death and nightmares.He is not as succesful as before.Music Is his way of dealing with his grief( just like good old friend Eminem). It is just how bullies are. When they feel alone and have a low self esteem they try make others suffer( just like Eminem). Sometimes it is unintentionally. He looks like he has got it all together with his flashy car and shades and rude behaviour but inside its a different scenario. I am not going to boycott his music like i did with Chris Brown( like some people are doing).

Peace and Love

Are ALL Disney Stars Singers?

Are ALL Disney Stars Singers?

I remember the other day my mother was saying that if you want to be on Disney you have to be multi-talented. As in you have to know how to act, sing. The whole package. And I couldn't’t agree more. I mean have you noticed that the Disney stars who you have seen in your favourite sitcoms have all at least tried to get into singing. And some of them are really good and made it big in the music industry (OK maybe not in mainstream but in the Disney world). They either actors turned to singers or vica-versa or both. And I feel like all the shows I used to watch, they all gonna release albums. Its strange. I mean, is it mandatory that if you wanna be part of Disney you HAVE to release an album under Hollywood records? Maybe not. Maybe its just a coincidence. But anyway I have been seeing actors turning into singers all the time on Disney but what inspired me to write this post today was when I paid a visit to the Itunes store and Emily Osment’s single was up for sale. I mean, you know the girl who plays Lily on the hit show Hannah Montana( I am the biggest fan of that show BTW!) apparently she is a singer now? I mean I know she has probably sung for one of these Disney Stars songs or whatever but now it but a singer. She is the last person( and 100th) I would expect to be a singer. I don’t know why though but it seems like now she’s released a single and is working on a debut album( but not under Hollywood Records which is owned by Disney) with most of the songs written by herself. What? She’s a songwriter now. Alright then. Anyway its not just her who is following the whole singer Disney thing. Here are a few others( trust me there I much more!) who you might STILL remember( since some of them didn’t make it that big)


HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL PEEPS

1) Soon after success with her major role in Disney’s Suite Life of Zack and Cody as Maddie the candy counter girl, she took on the role as Sharpay Evans in High School Musical. Then guess what? She released her debut album “ Headstrong” which was performed successfully on the Billboard 200 chart by coming #5 and selling 64,000 copies in the first week. Success story I guess and she wasn’t a one night wonder in the music department, she has just released her 2nd album “ Guilty Pleasures” which I haven’t bought but I am loving ‘ Its Alright, Its OK”

2) Another HSM actress, Vanessa Hudgens. I mean I guess its not a big surprise she released an album since she was a star in the movie and all as Gabriella Montez. But anyway she released ‘V” which also was successful topping the charts at # 24 and selling 34,000 copies in the first week. Huh? Zac why didn’t you release an album?

3) Then there is Corbin Bleu who is ANOTHER HSM actor( don’t despair he is the last one from HSM I am mentioning-promise) releasing his debut “ Another Side” which sold 18,000 copies in the first week. My fave song of the album is “ Deal With it” . But the only major star in HSM who didn’t follow the trend was Zac Efron( Troy Bolton. But I think he should stick to acting though cause I Love his movies.)
Have you noticed that almost ALL these stars are from the same movie?

HANNAH MONTANA
Okay we ALL know Miley Cyrus/Hannah Montana is a singer duh!. I mean anybody who doesent know anything about Hannah Montana/Miley Cyrus etc must be living under a rock. My dad who is probably reading this is one of them( no offense dad). I mean my aunt even watches Hannah Montana( sometimes). I remember one time I was watching an episode of Hannah Montana and she told me it a re-run because she had watched the night before J . Miley Cyrus is the star of my favourite shows in this planet earth so it ain't nothing new since the character Hannah Montana is a pop teen singing sensation. The Hannah Montana soundtracks have had huge success in the U.S but it cant really count as her going solo since it’s a soundtrack but she has released ‘Breakout” which has nothing to do with Hannah Montana. It’s a good album too. I like it since I am not a fan of her Hannah Montana songs but I enjoyed the album oh and it was # 1 on Billboard selling who- knows- how many copies

Mitchell Musso- aka Oliver or Smokin Oakin( inside joke). My favourite character.in fact I love all the Hannah Montana characters especially his long hair. No seriously, this guy has LONG hair. Not really your typical Disney star but oh well. I never though HE would be a singer. Maybe its because his brother is one of the lead vocals in the band Metro Station along with Trace Cyrus( Miley’s bro)

Another HM star is Emily Osment. I remember the first time I saw her she was this little girl in blond pigtails in Spy Kids( which was then my favourite movie-I think I was 9!) now she plays Lily on HM. And she is working on an album.

Barney People( Ok I know Barney and Friends isn't Disney but where else could I fit them?)




1) Demi Lovato- Although I have never watched Camp Rock( I know some of yall must be like “ OMG, How could you?”) or seen her act for that matter( wait-except for the Barney and Friends DVDS I own but she was little back then. -no kidding) she released a really good album ‘ Don’t Forget”. I loved the album from start to finish. And her songs on THAT album were kiddy like but fun. I think ‘ La LA Land is the ONLY song my sister listens to that is not classical musical or Beethoven or Lady GAGA.


Selina Gomez- Okay I also don’t watch her a lot but she’s cute and funny in the Disney program “ Wizards of Waverly Place” and Barney And Friends of course. She was favourite character in Barney and Friends when I was younger. She played Gianna. So cute. Anyway she’s releasing an album too. Selina Gomez and The Scene is the group she is part of.

Those are just to name a few

Peace and Love

More annoyingly-can't-get-outta-your-head-songs

Here are some other songs I wish they would stop playing on the radio or MTV

1) I Gotta Feeling- Black Eyed Peas
Oh my goodness! Do you know how many times they play this song. It is so annoying and EVERYBODY seems to love. When it first came out I liked wow but now...argh! Its like
Chorus:
I gotta feeling
That tonight's gonna be a good night
That tonight's gonna be be good night
A feeling( wooo wooo)

2) Another song by the Black eyed peas which is sooo last month is Boom Boom Pow..you know that song.." she's so 2008, I'm so 3008" and like the most of the song is going " Boom boom boom". Argh!.

3) Jonas Brother's SOS- this song makes me wanna scream.

4) " You can stand under my umbrella Ella eh eh eh
My 8 year old sister's favourite song. And she loves singing it thats why I hide my Rihanna CD from her.

5) Poker Face- another favourite of my sister. She and 3rd grade friends like love Lady Gaga( even though the music is not exactly targeted to little kids) " Pa pa poker face pa pa poker face"

More to come..

Don't Mess With Eminen

It is so strange when singers diss each other. I mean they will write a song about another artist dissing them and all ( in case you don't know to diss is to put (someone) down, or show disrespect by the use of insulting language or dismissive behavior- wiki dictionary). So today I was sick and couldn't do anything fun outdoors like playing soccer with my sister or running so I went to YouTube to check out Mariah Carey's new song " Obsessed".
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hYFoIVhmLnM

Telling by the title and lyrics the song tells a story of a someone who so obsessed with Mariah that they are claiming that they got together, while Mariah denies it. Listen to the song and you will know what I mean. And guess who this song was written about? Eminem aka Slim Shady. Now this song obviously pissed the guy off along with the fact that Mariah denies ever hooking up with him. So he is angry and recorded the song "Warning"



Why the anger? He is one of the best-selling rappers out there, and finds joy in dissing the people in his life. From his mom( Cleaning out of my closet) and Mariah ( Warning and others), He is a very VERY pissed off guy. Well at least he expresses his anger in a sorta healthier way instead of committing murder though. But My problem is his lyrics are so violent, way too honest in my opinion as in he even writes about wanting to kill his mom etc. Really disturbed guy but hey. Heard his newest song " we made you", where he disses every celeb there is and I feel like this guy has nothing better to say than trash other people. In my opinion lack of creativity. Actually his lack of immatuaraty is not funny at all.

So anyway, in response to all the disses from him, Mariah released Obsessed. Well done! Its not a bad song and at least she dissed him in a more sophisticated manner instead of throwing the F-word around like its the only word in the dictionary.

If I were Mariah( or Sarah Palin), I would so sue( Nah, just kidding). Its Hollywood( or life in general) you have to have tough skin but he acts like a school bully. But its America- Freedom Of Speech right?

So lesson to every celebrity there DON'T MESS WITH Eminem or your name will be mentioned in one of his hate songs.

Peace and Love

C@n U Tawk Lyk Dis

Can you talk like this ( proper English)

That's "text-talk" that is being used alot nowadays. Well mostly cause its easier and quicker. Sometimes it can get annoying how people will deliberately misspell a word like spelling "talk" like "tawk". Ha ha! It can be so funny though. Like last weekend I was talking to old classmate of mine from theb 8th grade and she took text talk( or deliberately misspelling words) to the extreme. Like she misspells words deliberately throughout the whole 2 minute conversation. So here's an example of the conversation:

Me: Hey
Kelly: Heyz u, hwz uz doin?
Me: Okay nd u? ( notice how I also use shortcuts)
Kelly: Okwayz..y u only okwayz?



Notice he spells "okay" like Okwayz? ya, its quite funny. You know how on facebook you have got those status updates where its kinda like Twitter, where you post what you doing etc. Well "Kelly" is always talking like that. Like notice here
Proper english: All this school work is alot! But I am okay still. Hanging with my girls
Ben english: Al dis skul work iz alat. Bt Me is okwayz stil. Hangin wit ma gurlz

Its quite funny when I read through my text messages. Heres another example of a message I received from my friend:

" Hey Fwendie..., howz u doin gurl...c ya at skul...mwaz..luvs ya..xoxo"

Seriously, this is no joke:)

Peace and LOve

Annoying-Can't-Get-Out-Your-Head-Songs ( and dances)

So has there ever been that song that you really try sooo hard not too like? I mean, not that you like the song or whatever but the chorus is so catchy that you can't get it out your head? The song may make no sense and may be kinda stupid but you find yourself humming to yourself or singing in the shower to it. Well here's a short list of songs which I don't like but cant get out of my head. Trust me I could go on all night and I will continue my list...this is just a few.

Beyonce Knowles Ego- Ag! I don't know what it is about Beyonce's songs that make her songs hard to get out of my head. She may ( sometimes) have the craziest lyrics and the most annoying videos( especially the ones when she is dancing silly with around Jay Z) but her songs are so darn catchy! Her latest single " Ego" is one of the songs. I saw the video one weekend when I was just flipping through music channels and since then that is what they play. Some of my friends are going crazy all over this song.. Her choruses are so annoying yet we all seem to know the words to all of them. I guess that's what makes s good song. A chorus which is so hard to forget. I do not like this song though ( I've just played it 100 times on my phone and know the lyrics)

" It's on baby lets get lost
You don't need to call in to work cause you the boss" or the chorus( Ag!)

It's too big, it's too wide
It's too strong, it won't fit
It's too much, it's too tough
He talk like this 'cause he can back it up

I got a big ego, such a huge ego
But he love my big ego,
it's too much walk like this 'cause I can back it up

Anyway the video should be watched along with her other vids and you will see what I mean. Just go on youtube and look up:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-iMtyJwPfRo


Anyway to prove my point that her songs are the " annoyingly-can't get-out-of-your-head" songs.Remember " Single Ladies"? The crazy black and white video with 3 ladies dancing singing " if you liked then you should have put a ring on it" Another song I admit I have played tons of times and dance to it every now and then. Not only are the lyrics catchy but so is the dance. I loved the funny hand movements she makes in the dance. You probably not have a clue what I am talking about until you have watched the vid. My friends and I have tried to imitate her dance moves before...


Do you remember Avril Lavignes single " Girlfriend" Remember the:
Hey, hey, you, you, I don't like your girlfriend
No way, no way, I think you need a new one
Hey, hey, you, you, I could be your girlfriend
Or heres my favourite part:She's like so whatever
You could do so much better
I think we should get together now
And that's what everybodys talking about

( I sense jealousy in that song( case of the green-eyed monster...what do you think)
