I always want to force people to watch this stupid video on Fridays, but since she cried on and on and had the video blocked on YouTube, it’s increasingly difficult to find.
Until now. When I put it on my site, bwahaha!
I want to thank the studio for making this available to the public. They can contact me if they have any problems.
Also, I’ve located some comical photos, which I shall now place into this blog! Read the rest of this entry » Which seat did Rebecca Bl...
It’s been a decade since the tragic death of R&B star and budding actress Aaliyah Dana Haughton. Just 22 years old at the time of her death, she was in the Bahamas heading back to the States after wrapping up her 2001 music video, “Rock The Boat.”
The twin-engine plane crashed shortly after takeoff. Aboard were Aaliyah and eight others — including her hair stylist, Eric Forman (29), hair/makeup artists Anthony Dodd (34) and Christopher Maldonado (32), security guard Scott Gallin (41), video producer Douglas Kratz (28), Blackground Records employees Keith Wallace (49) and executive Gina Smith (30), and the pilot, Luis Morales III. In an instant their lives and Aaliyah’s promising career were gone.
The autopsy of Amy Winehouse done today showed inconclusive results and that additional toxicology tests were needed. So what killed her? I’ll tell you, in case you don’t have time to wait for the further coroner reports.
No, it was not the DRUGS, SMOKING, AND ALCOHOL that killed her. It was the curse of 27. Or, rather, the 27 Club, or even the Forever 27 Club. The years and years of abusing her body wasn’t what put her under. Now, please don’t get me wrong. I enjoyed Amy’s music, and found her to be one more body in an ocean of celebrity retardation from time to time.
Other members of the 27 Club include Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison, and Curt Cobain.
MTV has a nice collage of Amy throughout the years.
The girl who made the horrible “Friday” song is back, with a new song. One that reminds you of a Disney teen, where her voice doesn’t project from her nose, with lyrics that are almost not half bad. Almost.
In March, the then-13-year-old’s music video for “Friday” bubbled up from the YouTube warrens to one of the site’s most-watched clips ever, rivaling anything produced by Justin Bieber or Lady Gaga. The consensus was that the track may be “the worst song of all time “, prefab pop, delivered in grating near-monotone, communicating solely that Black has seen calendars: “Tomorrow is Saturday and Sunday comes afterwards.”

I have not been a Lady Gaga song fan for a year or two now. Partially it’s because she is stealing borrowing her songs from other artists (Ace of Base, Madonna, etc). Some of it is that her creativity is walking off the cliff into oddity and weirdness. This song, “Born This Way”, I especially cannot stand. Not because of the meaning behind the lyrics, but rather the repetitiveness of the entire song, taken from.. well.. read my other post. ;)
In April 2011, Yankovic reported that Lady Gaga refused him permission to release “Perform This Way”, which he hoped to use as the lead single for his upcoming album. Yankovic had originally sent the request to parody the song to Gaga’s manager, who responded that they would need to see his lyrics to make an assessment. Yankovic was touring in Australia at the time, and hastily created the lyrics for approval. Yankovic further stated that Gaga’s management further insisted on reviewing a recorded version of the song, and he had cut a family vacation short to turn the recorded version around. Ultimately, he was told that she refused to allow for the parody. Yankovic had considered the song key to his Alpocalypse album, but due to the rejection, he had begun the process to postpone its release until he could record a new song to take the place of “Perform This Way”.
So, yeah. I’ve been “missing” for a few weeks now. What in the hell have I been up to? Great question!
As many of you know, I’ve been working full time, going to school 4 nights a week, and then cramming in other activities to fill in what little free time I have remaining. I took off my Thursday night class (microeconomic theory) to go to my first concert in a long time; Christina Perri + James Blunt at the Warfield in San Francisco. I was fortunate enough to meet Christina and have a CD autographed by her!
I finished up my classes last week – two weeks after moving to a new company, where my growth opportunities are just about endless. I’m doing more or less the same thing that I have been doing for nearly three years now, except at a very prestigious company, and for substantially better pay. I’ve learned a ton about the industry in my training classes that I never had the opportunity to learn before. I had my business class (Tuesday nights) grade posted over the weekend — squeezing in my ‘A’ with a 90-point-something percent in the class (with a ‘B’ on the final). there’s a possibility that i end up with 3/3 ‘A’s, but who knows. I’m aiming for ‘B’ grades, and the ‘A’s are all accidental, I assure you.
Linda and I moved the majority of my large furniture, including computer, TV entertainment system, etc this weekend. Suffice to say, I’m a wee bit tired today from heavy lifting, stairs, etc; but it’s all worth it in the end. ;)
I’ll be trying to squeeze in my normal internet-friendly self in the next week or two, now that my days are no longer 17 hours long, and I’m not skipping between beds/homes. I’ll be fixing up my bathroom (new shower, toilet, flooring, etc) in the next month and hope to be renting my condo out by July. We shall see.
..aanndd out!
So some friends on Facebook have been doing FBF (Flashback Friday) videos for the past few weeks, and I started joining in several weeks ago. As such, I’m deciding also to post the youtube videos on my page. ;)
My rules: early 90s, 80s, or older. YouTube videos must either be MTV music videos, live performances, or something else of the artist. No still frame photos with music in the background.
Click below for my first blog of this genre, Bell Biv DeVoe’s “Poison” made super popular around 1990. Go BBD!
My first impression of Lady Gaga’s new video for “Born This Way” was that I had just lost seven and a half minutes of my life that I’ll never have back, on a Madonna remake song. Miss Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta has certainly made better videos in her past, and after two weeks of hearing this song, I’m sooo sick of it. Only one other Gaga song has made me sick after hearing it so often, which was “Eh, Eh (Nothing Else I Can Say)” as it just became nothing but redundant.
View the video, it’s odd and she takes a lot of creativity over the past few decades from other writers, such as Return to Oz with the head-thing. ;)
Hate me all you want. I was despised when I declared Lady Gaga’s “Alejandro” a rip-off from Ace of Base’s “Don’t Turn Around”, even when those who cursed me admitted that I was right.
Lady Gaga’s new single “Born This Way” came out today, and I kept thinking while listening on the radio… this is so… I don’t know.. 80′s. And I’m right. Lady Gaga has already taken to following Madonna’s routes with her eclectic methods and routines, but now she has gone and just stolen an entire song from her.
Take a look at the similarities between “Born This Way” and Madonna’s “Express Yourself”. Tell me that I’m not right. Tell me that you still love Lady Gaga even though she has now stolen another song. Don’t get me wrong, I love me some Gaga, but miss Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta needs to get back to her innovative side again.

And for the lyrics…
In the effort to combat Wiz Khalif’s “Black & Yellow”, Lil Wayne came out with his own version, “Green & Yellow”, about the Green Bay Packers defeating the Pittsburgh Steelers for the Super Bowl this coming Sunday.
It’s all over the internet, and I legally downloaded it for free, and am sharing with you. Beware, as Lil Wayne goes, there’s a word or two that isn’t exactly PG. But it’s Lil Wayne, and you knew that already.
