It's Sunday, Sunday, Gotta Get Down on Sundayy!


Oh.
My.
God.

Please someone send me a doctor. I think I'm suffering from ortorrhea... that's bleeding from the ears, right? If not, MY EARS ARE BLEEDING!!!

If anyone in this cyberspace vortex read my post about Kim Kardashian, you probably know how I feel about music producers letting just about anyone into their studios. If you thought Kimmie was horrible, wait for it... let me introduce to you Rebecca Black.


My friend sent me Black's Youtube video for her single "Friday" that's making everyone in the world either go crazy for it or hate it. And I'm not lying.

Just this past Friday, I heard people in the halls humming to Friday and in class, someone started singing "It's Friiiday, Friday, gotta get down on Friday..." OH! And I'm on the phone with my friend right now and she just started singing, "Sitting in the front seat, sitting in the back seat, gotta make up my mind...".. guess my friend likes the song. :/

Then there are the haters. Now. I personally dislike the song. It's autotuned to no absolute end and from the song, it seems like she has no talent. But some haters have really taken it out of proportion. To tell Black to go cut herself and get an eating disorder and die from it? I mean, come on, really? Are we really that much of animals? Do we have nothing better to do than to hate like that? It's okay to hate a song and an artist but to wish them that... I'm sure people can be higher than that low level.

My friend who sent me the Friday link also sent me a different link to where Black is interviewed. The interviewer asked her to sing her the national anthem. To which Black proceeded to sing it. Then the interviewer asks, "Do you think you're a good singer?"
Black responds, "I think I have talent on some level. I don't think I'm the worst singer but I don't think I'm the best singer."

Like I said, from "Friday", my ears are bleeding. It's a horrible song with absolutely no meaning to any of the words. But being that Black is only a thirteen year old... I mean, what can you expect? At 13, the only thing I cared about was also the weekend and fun. And from the interview where she sang the national anthem... she wasn't SO bad.

The interview also mentioned that her parents paid for the entire video and song. Desperate much? The girl's only thirteen. Give her a few years with a voice coach, will you? Or she'll end up being the next Miley Cyrus.

Maybe there is hidden talent underneath all that autotune. I honestly have no idea. But Friday really does suck. A whole lot. Hate the song.

Oh and to those extreme haters: Black doesn't care what you think. The more attention you give Friday, the more money she makes. Don't believe me? Here's a glimpse from an article from Metro:

Forbes has done the math, and figured out just how much your scorn is worth to the 13-year-old "Friday"songstress. The viral video has accumulated roughly 30 million views on YouTube, most on the past week; with the video site making roughly $1 per 1,000 views and offering offering content partners like Black 68% of the profits, that amounts to roughly $20,000.

So please... do hate on Black. Her income is higher than yours.

Anger Management Classes, Anyone?


You know what it's like when you have a favorite song that you just can't over listening to? But then one day you just forget about it... And then either a few months or even years later, you end up listening to it again, remembering all the memories that went with it? Does anyone know what I'm talking about? Or am I really just crazy?

Anyway, I just spent about twenty minutes listening to some of Chris Brown's old songs, recalling all the memories that went with those songs. Remember his hit single Run It? And With You? Forever? Oh, what about that amazing duet with Jordin Sparks, No Air?

Then.... Back in '09 or '08, was it? There had been allegations made against Chris Brown when he and Rihanna did not show up to the Grammys. Rihanna was found beaten and Chris Brown was to blame. Rihanna issued a restraining order out on Chris Brown. Brown, pleading not guilty, asked for a plea bargain. To stay out of jail, he'd do community service. Now, I'm no cop or a judge... I'm only a music lover so I don't really care about the details. I don't even know much about the details.

After 2 years of community service and obeying his restraining order, Brown finally releases F.A.M.E. (Forgiving All My Enemies), and I haven't really listened to the tracks yet. But what I CAN say is that all the beef and hate that has been put on Brown after he stormed out of the Good Morning America show is just rude and uncivil.

Brown had come to the show merely to discuss his album, mainly because it had been the album's release day. To put Brown on TV and COMPEL him to answer questions that is in his and Rihanna's past is just ridiculous. Whatever happened between Rihanna and Chris Brown is between them and the walls of the court room. Not the fans. It isn't even our business.

After the assault, fans had been going nuts about who's side were they on... the innocent singer or the hot-tempered one?

But really, it isn't our business. We don't know them. We only know their music. To say that you're on Brown's side or Rihanna's side doesn't matter. Sorry to say, your view on the entire ordeal doesn't matter. You weren't part of the jury to convict Brown.

Yes, Brown has been a little "not himself" since the attack but people change. So has Rihanna. I think her vulgar side has showed in her album Rated R and she has calmed down in her Loud album. Brown has the right to change. But to compel him to answer questions about HIS past that he has had to face with just isn't right.

I saw the interview on youtube and Robin, the interviewer, continuously asked him questions about the assault while Brown was merely trying to promote his new album. Whenever she'd ask a question about it, he'd just say that he was there for the album, that it was in his past, he didn't want to talk about it.

I'm not saying that I or anyone else can forgive him for what he did but that isn't our place. That's Rihanna's. Those marks on her face prove so. But to deliberately "interrogate" him on TV just doesn't settle right in my stomach.

The interviewer, excuse my French, was a bitch. She, and the rest of the media, probably knew that he was hot-tempered. Why toy with his emotions?

I can admit, after I saw what happened with Rihanna and Brown, I didn't like Brown after that. But I still liked his music. Yeah, he abuses women and definitely needs some anger management classes. But that isn't for us as fans to judge. That's for a judge, a jury, and a court room. The man still makes good music and still is talented. Bet you this... When he dies, people will probably think he's a legend. Doesn't that remind us of someone? Someone that fans turned their backs on when he was on trial but then when he died, he all of a sudden became the King of Pop?

Justin Bieber is Now Officially Pubertyfied.


I can admit, I didn't ever think that Justin Bieber was cute. My best friend had and STILL has this gigantic crush on him that makes the crush that his collective group of teeny bopper fans have look so miniscule. She ALWAYS talks about him and maybe that's why I got sick of the Biebs. Even for that, I refused to go see his movie, which I still haven't seen (but will probably watch when I have the chance).

Now that Justin Bieber knows that he has gone through puberty, proven on his new track with Rascal Flatts called That Should Be Me, he has gotten a haircut. And I have to admit, I LOVE IT!!

That is the Biebster himself on the cover of a collector's edition of Us magazine. Doesn't he look so cute? Instead of his "sweep" that has gotten thousands upon thousands of girls swooning, he has decided to chop this "sweep" off into a more mature look. Like his voice.

Prior to his haircut, J. Biebs released a remixed version of his song from My World 2.0, That Should Be Me, but now featuring Rascal Flatts (which can be found on Never Say Never (The Remixes) Album). Comparing the new song to his older version, you can tell his voice has gotten deeper. Did they even start on a lower key for the Biebster?

I can admit openly that I have Bieber Fever. Kinda late than everyone else but still. I love his new haircut and I love his voice now. It's the mature Bieber that got me swooning.
I am a Belieber!!! =)

Ke$ha Loves Unicorns and Rainbows

"No mythological creatures were harmed in the making of this video"
Who else was not so surprised at Ke$ha's new music video Blow? I mean, as soon as I saw Ke$ha-Blow.. I was thinking 'Kla$$ic Ke$ha'...
-Video starts off with the quote from on top.. and I am thinking... mythological creatures? what in the world is Ke$ha gonna do.. that krazy girl..
-Some sort of white wine or champagne is being poured for Miss Ke$ha.
-"So I grab the bear by throat," says Ke$ha as she is sitting in a plush chair, she continues to two unicorns (yes yes, I know, WTF?!) "and I said, 'Bear, you have till the count of zero to put some pants on and apologize to the president'. And um, that's the story of how I was elected to the parliament of Uzbekistan." Now dear Ke$ha.. my parentals come from Uzbekistan.. I know for a fact that they 'elected' you because they were either A: out of their mind. and/or B: drunk.. considering this... bear was not wearing any pants.
-Carrying on...
-Ke$ha: (giggles) DANCE!
-Music begins
-Basically this unicorn waiter offers Ke$ha a piece of cheese that someone purchased for her and he points to the man who bought her this... offering. I don't really know what's happening.. since when do we flirt by buying cheese?
-Ke$ha looks over to see who bought her the cheese and she recognizes the man.
-She eats the cheese.
-I must say, when she puts the cheese into her mouth, I got a glimpse of her fingernails... wayyyy bedazzled.. I like!
-The man and Ke$ha both stand up at the same time... I'm assuming something's about to go down.
-Um.. camera shoots Ke$ha licking a unicorn.. this is getting way too freaky for me.
-Man and Ke$ha are walking to each other in super slow-mo
-Unicorn is drinking champagne.. what a nice party.
-Ke$ha is way too bedazzled. There's another scene where she's wearing a black shiny leotard with shoes that have big bow-ties on them. I can't even begin to explain her jewelry.. but that's Ke$ha for ya. But at least she looks washed and cleaned, no?
-Unicorns are dancing...
-One unicorn has a nose ring and an eye-patch.. that got me laughing.
-Ke$ha, while having her hair up in a bun, lets her hair loose, still walking to Man.
-Man gets a comb from his pocket and begins to brushhis hair while walking to Ke$ha.
-In front of man, Ke$ha walks up to a unicorn and begins to make out with it... What the hell is going on..
-oh FYI! she makes out with eye-patch-nose ring unicorn.
-Man, out of jealousy I'm assuming, rips off his sleeves. He also rips off his jacket.. Little note there Mr. Unknown Man... you could have just taken off your jacket like a normal dude, you know that, right?
-Ke$ha sways a little, she's apparently dancing.
-Man begins to grind the air.. that's his way of dancing... Geez, can someone please get these two dancing lessons?
-Ke$ha reaches into her dress and pulls out her bra and smirks at Man.
-Man also reaches into his shirt and pulls out his bra... I'm not so sure he's a man now..
-Ke$ha is just as confused as I am.
-The two finally have reached each other.. Wow, that was a long walk.
-"Well, well, well," Ke$ha says, "if it isn't James Vander Douche." (NICE, Ke$h!!)
-"I do not appreciate you slanderbeaking my name Ke-dollar sign-ha." Wowww... James Van der Douche.. I like you already!
-"Thank you for the snack," Ke$ha bats her eyelashes, "it was quite delicious."
-"My pleasure." Good lord.. just make out already.
-"Was that Muenster cheese tickling my taste buds?" Ke$ha asks.
-"Of course... Muenster is like edible lactose gold," James Douchey says. Does anyone know what in the world is he talking about?
-"Agreed," Apparently Ke$ha does, "Shall we dance?"
-"Let's."
-James Douchy and Ke-dollar sign-Ha part their ways.
-Alright. James pulls out a gun and begins to fire.. Ke$ha ducks and pulls out TWO guns and fires. Whenever a unicorn is hit, rainbows shine out. This is so entertaining.
-A lot of unicorns are getting killed.
-YEAH! Ke$ha shoots James in theshoulder and then walks over to him.
-"Truce?" James asks.
-"Nay," Ke$ha points the gun to his head.
-Next scene you see a wonderful taxidermy of James while Ke$ha and a bunch of unicorns are laughing hysterically.
Interesting video.. interesting song. I don't really know what to say about it. At least Ke$ha showered for it, though.

Steve Urkel is Bringing Sexy-back.


Go ahead, take a walk down the streets of your hometown. Now, take a look at the people around you. What do you see?
I spy something with my little eye..... NERD GLASSES!!
The most trendiest and hot thing on the market now are those exact retro eye glasses that you may remember getting teased about back in the day. It's fascinating to see how fashion shifts throughout the years and I'm pretty sure if someone wore the glasses even five years ago, he would be considered a 'geek' or 'nerd'. Wouldn't Steve Urkel be so proud?

But now that nerd glasses have been making its comeback, we've seen celebs such as Scarlet Johansson, Justin Timberlake, T-Swizzle (Taylor Swift), Weezy (Lil Wayne) and even yours unruly, Johnny Depp wear them. Even these Stevel Urkel-esque glasses have been on the runways such as, Marc Jacobs, Yigal Azrouel, Tracey Reese, Paul Frank, Ralph Lauren, and D&G.

I am definitely not ashamed to say I have a pair of these wayfarers because it adds a bit of funkiness into my style. The glasses may make you seem intelligent... it may make you seem hipster... it can make you anything you want it to be if you pair it with the correct outfit. I definitely recommend getting a pair of these because they are just so cute, chic, and stylish.

JLo does the Lambada



Today, Jenny from the block released her new music video for her new single: On The Floor featuring Pitbull. I heard the song when it first came out and yeah, I like it because there's a bit of that Brazilian song Lambada in it and that used to be a childhood favorite of mine. But the music video... I don't get it. Now here's what I do with music videos... I make a basic retelling of what happened:
Oh wait.. and by the way, was it just me or did i see a bunch of product placement ads in the music video? No?
-JLo and some guy pulls up in a BMW (AD!!!) and JLo gets out in a really cute outfit: hoodie, leather jacket, and probably jeans? She had a look on her face like she was about to murder someone... or on a mission. Whichever one you pick. I like the murder one.
-she opens up a Swarovski (AH-HA! AD numero dos!) box and you see her putting on some bedazzled looking earrings that makes Edward Cullen's shine look oily.
-JLo's changed? I don't know what's happening. She apparently changed pretty quickly into a big yellow dress with her hair all Marge from The Simpsons and she's sitting on a couch.
-Pitbull: JAYLO! and he's sitting on some sort of a throne? I'm getting the assumption JLo is a queen and he's the king of the dance floor?
-Pitbull muttering some spanish because that's what he always does. Senor Pitbull, don't assume we all know Spanish...
-There's some kind of weird party going on with people's arms flaring out.. dunno.. i've never been to that kind of party.
-oh didn't realize it... Pitbull while sitting on his throne has ALMOST naked girls dancing next to him in gold bikinis.. DEFINITELY have not been to that kind of party.
-um.. someone's face is covered in green glitter? ha.. JLo, can you invite me to this party?
-Jenny's also wearing a silver looking suit that looks like britney's toxic outfit
-People are dancing... that's not new.
-Okay, finally plot's changing.. the JLo that looked like she was about to kill someone comes back now.. she took off her jacket and hoodie.. she's wearing a belly shirt?
-As she creeps onto the floor, the Queen JLo looks down upon the dance floor and is wondering something.. probably 'why the hell does she look like me?'
-Pitbull finally takes off his sunglasses that seem glued onto his face and looks down also... probably turned on.
-Dancer Murderous JLo gets onto a table and starts.. yep you guessed it, dancing! oh and she's not wearing a belly shirt. more like a bra and a shrug.
-Queen Jenny looks intimidated and jealous.. someone who looks just like her is stealing her scene..
-King Pitbull looks turned on.. that hasn't changed.
-Some sort of whiskey (couldn't see the brand) is being poured for Queen JLo (AD!!)
-Of course the camera had to show us Dancer Serial Killer JLo's butt.. because we have missed it after all these years...
-Queenie JLo.. i don't know... looks like SHES the serial killer or she's just plain amused.
-Pitbull finally raps his weird raps... nothing to talk about that.
-Dancing continuesss... Queen still looks amused.
-Music finishes. Um. Yeah.
So Dancer JLo was on a mission to dance in front of Queen JLo? I don't really know.. the song's good though.

Kim Kardashian- who gave her permission to enter a studio?

Kim Kardashian released her first new single.. I can't even remember the name of it because it's so irrelevant and unimportant.. Jam? and unfortunately and sadly, it's the Most Viewed on Youtube... WHY?! The girl can't sing!!

I can admit, Kim is spunky (I am basing this on the .5 of an episode of Keeping Up I was forced to watch) and gorgeous... She is.. BUT WHO IN WORLD allowed her to make a song?! Seriously?

Are we allowing anyone to just get into a studio and sing.. no no.. ATTEMPT to sing?

My ears were bleeding.. she sounded completely bored in the song.. and her voice sounded VERYYY computerized.
And it's not just her.. I don't understand why actresses (if I can even call her one) can wake up one day and decide that they apparently have the best voice ever and just make music? STICK TO WHAT YOU'RE BEST AT!!! Celebs who started out acting and decide that they can sing obviously just want more attention.. more money.. And it's sad.

I just can't believe that out of all the talent there is in the world, we have allowed her to enter a realm that was built for talent.. The girl is beautiful.. she should just stick to modeling. That's my opinion..
Entertainment is entertainment, yes.. I agree.. But her song is definitely not entertainment when it makes me want to rip my ears off.

-V

OH. PS. I think it's funny how on her show, she trash talked Ms. Paris Hilton for making an album... but she's allowed to? FUNNY!
