NBC's new show The Voice



I'm not 100% into reality shows and we've clearly had WAY too many TV shows surrounding themselves in "vocal" talent....the difference that I like about this one is that


#1 the judges can't visually see the singers at first until they push a button to turn their chairs around


#2 if all 4 judges on the panel push the button to turn their chair around, then the singer that is on stage can pick who they would personally like to have as their vocal coach... (I like that twist)


Here's the preview of the show that starts on Tues. 4/26 on NBC at 9PM EST



Here's to HOPING IT STAYS ENTERTAINING THROUGHOUT THE SEASON!

Jessie J....thoughts, questions, concerns?


My station has been playing a song that's extremely catchy and I like it a lot by a new artist named Jessie J "Price Tag" (featuring B.O.B)...but unfortunately now everything goes beyond what you hear, it's about how it's SEEN as well; introduce the video HERE.


Dig the lyrics, BUT...does the video contradict the lyrics? You be the judge...

Why you shouldn't move to Arizona...


Well well well Arizona, you seem to like to be the headline in the "news" department every other month. You started off with your boy McCain running for office (FAIL), then you got one of your congresswomen shot up by a crazy ass mutha luva....(not cool), then you decided that you wanted to have anyone that's "of color" prove that their American citizens (flash-back to days of Slavery....shocker)....now they want to get every woman preggers and not give them a right to choose if they wanted to terminate their pregnancy....I'm going to guess that this was enforced by a man too, as if they're the ones that get to carry the baby in the first place. Using "God's" words blah blah blah................*silence*............


More great news just in about Arizona too guys! READ ME


Note to self NEVER EVER under ANY circumstances move to Arizona....

Britney?....


Whelp, Britney Spears is known for her dance music...but she seems to be falling behind in having ANY actual good beats & producers put something together that I could actually handle following. The last time I actually liked her was when she had The Neptunes produce her songs....what happened to actual good beats that people were moved by? It's been some time and Britney's new album didn't make the cut for me....kinda like that time she had a huge break down and shaved her head...........................................................I haven't forgotten about that, you probably shouldn't either. You can judge for yourself by listening to her entire album HERE


So in conclusion, Britney's new CD.....HAY-DA-IT!

S&M...


So, I finally caught the music video for Rihanna's new single "S&M" and all I kept thinking about was how it was fluffy like a Katy Perry music video would look, but it also reminded me of Madonna's Human Nature music video (remember that in 95?)... VIDEO


Now check out Rihanna's.... VIDEO


Which one was better? In my eyes, Madonna always wins, even when it comes to my lovely Lady Gaga,...Madonna still stepped on this earth before them, therefore she's the original ALWAYS. I'm tired of the knockoff's can we please get back something original!?!?!?? I have faith in these girls: Rihanna, Katy Perry, Lady Gaga...stop drinking the Koolaid and come up with someone original!!!!! I know you steal songs, but at least stop stealing music video ideas too!


Thanks...

Fascinated by urinals?...me too


So I may be WAAAAY late with this one since Europe has had them around for such a long time (since 2006)...but it couldn't hurt for the USA to get one in certain places too (specifically around bar areas), I could name a few places: Adams Morgan, U St., K St., Dupont Circle, H St. NE, every "park" in the middle of the city.


It's a simple concept with a HUGE payback in a good way, the sweet smell of regular air, not one that someones been urinating on all night long would be a GREAT way to start the day wouldn't it?

How to Dance like Beyonce


How to dance like Beyonce...it does exist, please allow this wonderful voice-over to instruct you on how to do so, while you akwardly try to find out if the girl on screen is a dancer or a "dancer" (aka: stripper)...it's hard to figure out I know.




Or...you could learn how to dance like this guy too, but he only attracts ice cream trucks VIDEO

Something to make you not give up on music...

Every so often our ear drums are scared for life (ex: anything by Ke$ha) and then there are times where you can't stop talking about a band that you've just learned about that you want to share with all of your friends after you hit "play"...this group/ song is one of those.

The group WARPAINT won my ear drums after an amazing friend who has a keen skill for effortlessly scouting out musical talent sent me this YouTube video....because now-a-days the only groups that get played on mainstream radio are looped terrible songs (ex: Black Eyed Peas)....when the merge between major label executives & corporate radio executives decided that whatever they feel work will be played 24 hours a day...womp womp...

The group WarPaint's song "Bees" reminds me of the 90's when alternative/semi-indie rock bands began to blend with danceable beats (think Luscious Jackson), while playing with simple styles & sounds...it's a sound that I can dig and maybe you will too:

Good Programs on TV...

Are there any good shows left for the rest of us that have yet to discover? I hope so, I haven't been finding much on the larger networks and I feel like every time I turn on my TV, I become dumber for watching some new Reality TV show. Can we start calling them something else? Because lets be honest here for a second, those shows are scripted and are far from reality, they just use regular cameras and cast the DUMBEST HUMANS TO POSSIBLY ROAM THE EARTH, therefore calling it "Reality" ???...also, what has happened to our TV culture as a whole. Do you see yourself as more intelligent than you were 10 years ago? Or do you find yourself stuck, or what I see myself becoming....dumber.

I feel like I need to start only watching the following programs to keep my IQ up: Jeopardy, News Hour (PBS/ WETA), any historical documentary that holds significance to how our society is being shaped as a whole or repeating itself, Road Trip Nation (PBS), and anything on CURRENT TV (the network). Everything else is pure fluff...and it's not that I don't like that (because we all want to mentally escape our work lives/ days), but lets be honest, ALL the programs on TV are fluff. Nothing is original anymore, it's just a remixed version of something we saw in the 70's, 80's, or even the 90's. It's been done before. I am fearful that our most intelligent, witty and creative people have been axed by major networks because they're not drinking the Koolaid like the rest of them and for that simple fact, I will have to ban my TV. This doesn't include FILMS...only TV shows.

I don't even have cable and guess who benefits from that...me, because my pockets are fatter with cash than those who waste $100's on those crappy shows that you could watch online for free anyways, just delayed by 1 day or something. I don't know about you, but I want to enjoy my cash by GOING SOMEWHERE...not just my couch.
