Original Tuesday

I recently found this song called The Promise by Blue Skies. Its really pretty and it kind of goes with our Women Power week. When I first saw the video I thought it was different guys but then I read the guys bio and saw that it is just one. This guy is really determined and has a witty sense of humor.

The rhythm of the song is great. It reminds me of the music of The All American Rejects and his voice is kind of like the lead singers. But seriously the rhythm is so good. The different guitars merge to make a unique sound and the drums are there too. The main focus of the song are the three guitars though. His voice is not the best but I am sure that if he works on it he will be an awesome singer.

I hope you enjoy!

Song of the Week and Womens Day!

Happy Women's Day to all females out there! This international day is all about women empowerment and how important our role is in society. Therefore I will be posting posts all week long that show truly powerful women in the music biz. To start of, our song of the week is Independent Woman by Destiny's Child. Yeah I know its kind of an old song but it truly shows how tough we are. Whats also great about this song is that its from the Charlies Angels soundtrack, which is a movie all about showing female power.

You probably know who Beyonce is, but before becoming THE Beyonce. she was part of a girls music group called Destiny's Child. Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams are the other two ladies that make up this group. Their music was a mix of R&B/Hip-Hop and Pop. They were one of the biggest selling female groups in history and represented women power in all of their songs. The group officially split in 2001 in Barcelona but each member continued down their paths alone in the music business.

I heard this song a long time ago and all day long in school I was thinking how I was going to make this my song of the week. If you listen to the lyrics they are all about how women can make it on their own and don't need a man to survive. The rhythm of the song is also good but the main focus is the voice of the singers and the lyrics.

I hope you enjoy this song and if you are a woman, that it empowers you and makes you feel unstoppable!

Video Talk

You have probably heard of this guy called Justin Bieber. He has become a pretty famous singer because of hits like One Time, One Less Lonely Girl, and now he brings Baby featuring Ludacris. The video talk today is about his most recent video called Baby. Check it out:

I don't know why but the first time I saw this video I was laughing all the time. Its just funny that Justin doesn't look like a 15 year old and that he is and is singing about the love of his life when he probably hasn't had a girlfriend. Then there is the whole plot of the video of him chasing this poor girl who obviously doesn't wanna be with him but he insits and insists.
The best part of the video though is the dancing. I give Justin points for being able to dance like Michael Jackson and because the video has an awesome showdown between guys and girls. I didn't feel that just because Justin is a guy the guys had more dance power but the girls also got to show what they are made of.
Then there is Ludacris. The guy that walks into a kids video and talks about his first love. Nothing like remembering being thirteen and being in the playground. Oh wait, something doesn't sound right. Middle school = no playground. Ludacris must have been a special kid to wander out to the playground or maybe they did have a playground. All I know is its weird that he calls it the playground that is so elementary talk. I also laughed when there was that awkward moment when Ludacris is strangling Justin.
Well you should check out the video and say what you want. Don't think I dislike Justin Bieber I kinda like some of his songs but this video was way to dramatic for a boy whose leading female is taller.

Latin Playlist!

Hello! This week I put up a fun danceable playlist following my anger management playlist of last week. I am a proud latin girl and would like to share with you what we young Latin people like to listen to. Its not that we sit and listen to our grandparents old songs, no we have music that identifies us as the young teenagers we are. Reggaeton is a new form of music that has been taking much control in our culture the past years. Its a genre of music with the same rhythm in the back round and the lyrics can either be pretty or just basic nasty. Even though this genre is new it keeps typical rhythm in it in some songs. Here is the playlist:

1. Pa Maite by Carlos Vives
2. Guajira by Yerbabuena
3. Abusadora by Wisin y Yandel
4. Gitana by Shakira
5. Lo Hecho Esta Hecho by Shakira
6. No Me vuelvo a Enamorar by J Balvin
7. Excuse Me by Dazoo
8. El Ritmo No Perdona by Daddy Yankee
9. Ella Anda Sola by Don Omar
10. Carmelina by Lucas Arnau
11. Celos by Zion y Lenox
12. Te Siento by Wisin y Yandel
13. Che Mapale by Checo Acosta

Not all the songs here are reggaeton, some are Latin pop and kind of typical music. They are really good songs that have a fun mood.

1. Pa Maite is by a Colombian artist who sings a genre know as vallenato. This song is cool because it is not the typical vallenato but a mix of vallenato with some pop.
2. This song is the soundtrack of a very good movie called "Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights" its a really rhythmic song and what is so cool about it is that at the same time that it has its typical sound it also has rap mixed in.
3. Wisin and Yandel are so cool! Sometimes their songs are very offensive but this one is not that bad. They are funny because they rime the weirdest words sometimes. This song is fun to dance to and the mix of their voices is really cool because Yandel has a soft voice while Wisin has a tough guy voice.
4. I fell in love with this song. You might have heard the English version but the Spanish version is my favorite. I also like how the song is a power song about how women are independent and don't need a guy.
5. The best part of this song is the video. The choreography on the bed is very cool. The lyrics are about accepting your mistakes but the song presents the message in the form of a story line.
6. I recently heard this song and liked it very much. Basically because there are those moments when a girl is tired of guys. The guy in the song talks about a girl but a girl can so apply this to her life. Its the song for that moment when a guy is the last thing you want to see.
7. This song is a mix of reggaeton and pop. What I like the most about this song is that there is a female in there. Though if you listen to the lyrics they aren't that clean but the rythm is still fun.
8. I have an inside joke with a friend with this song. Its just so funny how the song sounds when he is saying " a que te pego, a que te pego", well yeah it isn't very pretty to be told you are going to be hit but still the song is fun to dance to and have inside jokes.
9. I really like the flute in this song.
10. Even though the singer only mentions one person in the song it is a global message of romance,
11. I like how this song begins and then turns into this song about a jealous boyfriend who need to get a life.
12. I guess this song is like a mix of dirty and romantic. It depends on how you listen to it it might seem more romantic than dirty. Its not excessively dirty just moderate.
13. One word: Happy.

Hope you enjoy.

Whatch Say

Following my Jason Derulo craze I decided to upload a video of him singing Whatch Say, on of the songs in his new self titled album. You can really see how all the studying of the diffrent fields, particularly dance affect his performance. Enjoy!

Original Tuesday

This girl is called Tiffany Alvord and she sings pop music. On her YouTube channel she has posted herself singing popular songs just with the guitar accompanying her and not only that but, she also post videos of songs she composes herself. She has been composing since she was 10 years old and the instruments she uses to accompany herself are the guitar and the piano. She has become quite popular thanks to her youtube videos and states that things are starting to happen.

What I like about the song above is that it is based on something very upseting and she manages to make a great song out of it. Her voice is really sweet and the composition on the guitar to acompany her is amazing. I also like that she put herself in the shoes of a person who has a loved one fighting and she doesnt do it in a cheesy untrue way but the total opposite. She makes it realistic and its like you are looking into the soul of someone with a fighting loved one. You should really check out more of her videos!

Song of the Week!

This week has been crazy! Don't even get me started on the amount of homework I just dealed with and it is only Monday! Not to mention that there are some crazy things going on around the city, not good. The only positive thing is that there is a very slight chance that tomorrow there is no school which would be really nice. The song for this week is by an artist I had already mentioned called Jason Derulo. His new album just came out and I strongly recomend it to all of you. So here is this weeks song by the great Jason Derulo and its called Ridin´Solo.

Jason Derulo is from Miami, Florida and was born Jason Desrouleaux but changed his last name so it was easier to pronounce. The reason he is so talented is because of all the preparation he has had. He has studied opera, theater, and ballet. He went to Dillard Center for the Arts in Fort Lauderdale, Florida and graduated from the American Musical and Dramatic Academy in New York. He has been preparing for this moment all his life and he did it in a good honest way which just draws more audience to him.

What I really like about this song is that it is so positive and that sometimes you don't need someone else to go along with you but to do things for yourself. Its also a song that was taken out from a glee episode because at the beginning and throughout the song you here the melody of a song called Bitter Sweet Symphony. The energy of the song is just amazing and his voice sounds like he himself is experiencing general happiness which is just awesome.

Hope you enjoy the song ppl!
