hey everyone! sorry my entry is a little later this evening, i took some time to nap earlier... which really isn't much different from every other day ... except day was just extra long because of the gloomy weather, i mean really who wants to be awake when its all cloudy out ? well not me so there ya go.
so lets talk about some television first tonight!! specifically the FALL TV season ! , its quickly coming upon us, and tonight is no exception !, we have multiple premiers tonight, but what are the ones I'm going to be paying attention to you ask ? well i shall tell.
first we have the 2 hour premier of America's Next Top Model ( ANTM ) on the CW starting at 7pm (here in MN). who's excited ?! and more importantly, who wants to be on top?!
well i have an early favorite for this show, and i don't even know what she looks like yet! ha ha you're probably saying to yourself...what the hell is he talking about, well there is a girl from MN on ANTM this year!!, so of course my ass is gonna be rooting for the home town girl, even though lets face it, if we ever want someone from MN to win that shit our only hope is me, myself and i. HOLLA
next we have the season premier of So You Think You Can Dance ( SYTYCD ) on the Fox network tonight!, now ... i understand their want to capitalize while the show is still big...but really? they just crowned the season 5 winner a little over 2 months ago !!, maybe the fact that i cant even remember the winners name has something to do with it....since season 4 the show has been on a steady decline in the talent IMO, and season 5 was the worst so far, maybe they're hoping they just had a bad bunch of people this year and they're hoping for a stronger group this time around?
either way, I'm not sure how i feel about this being back on the air sooo soon!, how shitty for the girl who just won...instead of having a year to have the title of Americas favorite dancer, she gets what 6 months before the winner is crowned again in Jan? which is BTW, just in time for American Idol to start back up ...clever Fox.
after SYTYCD on fox, we have the premier of Glee ... well technically this is the second episode....but the first was just a pilot.. so if any of you are wondering, you probably shouldn't expect a continuation of the original story, seeing as series seasons usually go a different route than the pilot episode.
now... i would LOVE to be totally obsessed with Glee and hanging onto every word that is sung from those kid's mouths, but i have to be honest, as a 3 year veteran of a show choir from my own high school, and being very involved in choir every single year from 4Th grade till graduation, i was a little disappointed by the pilot episode, and my anticipation for this new batch of shows could be a little higher.
will i give it a chance? of course.. but here's hoping its not going to be all about the stereotypes that so many choir students strive to disassociate themselves with in high school, and more about the music.
capping off my night of television will be the latest episode of Top Chef Las Vegas which i am just LOVING this year!, what fun contestants they have this time around, interesting personalities, and there is just the right amount of twists and turns to the usual recipe (pardon the pun) of the show to keep me entertained this year!, tonight's elimination challenge is to cook for an esteemed panel of French Chefs ...so my guy Mattin should do well considering he's from France and is classically trained in french cuisine
did i mention besides music movies and TV I'm also obsessed with cooking? i just might share from recipes on here with you guys some day that i enjoy myself!!.
onto some music ! i have two songs I'm going to be telling you about tonight, one came as a request from a friend of mine from Riverfalls Wisconsin, her name is Alex Gehin and shes a total doll, who loves her music just as much as i do !
now just a fair warning, she asked me to talk about the new Miley Cyrus song "Obsessed" and before i do, i should mention that I'm in no way a fan of Miley Cyrus, and never have been.
onto the song, it is actually a good song, its well written, has proper build and a pretty decent climax, everything you look for in a song , or a sexual partner, ha jkjk i had to throw that in.
my only complaint? i just wish it was sang by someone who can actually sing... ha ha the lack of vocal chops has always been the one thing holding me back from Miley Cyrus and her music, I'll be fair i actually find a majority of the songs she releases to be quite catchy, fun pop music, much the same with Taylor Swift, another awful singer, who can write catchy songs.
the song starts off very pretty, and Miley actually is singing better than I've really ever heard her sing, and that's not a lie, but then she quickly plunges head first into the hook...and that's when my ears started to bleed. shes wailing, not singing, and there is a big big difference.
so my final verdict on the song? i would have liked it leaps and bounds more if it had been sung and tweaked a little by someone with the vocal prowess of Lee Ann Womack or even Faith Hill. some country girls who can REALLY SANG.
onto my next little rant
who has heard of The Sugababes ? if no one answered yes, i don't fault you, they are in no way large here in the US , and have really only had success ( 10 years of it ) out in London. they are an electro-dance girl group, consisting of three members.
an interesting fact about this group though however is that they have a revolving door of members, being that the 3 that are currently making music under the name The Sugababes were not the original three members.
at any rate, this is my favorite three-some of ladies!, their music is FUN FUN FUN, and for the most part will never take itself TOO seriously, which is a great gift to have in the music business. their new song titled "About A Girl" was produced by hit maker RedOne who's worked with lady gaga on "just dance" and "poker face".
so of course you know the song will have a bumpin beat, with fun, easy to remember lyrics , and really interesting harmonies that only a girl group can recreate. the song had me jigglin in bed ( yes bed ) the very first time i heard it, and I've been in love ever since!.
the song has a Latin techno island kind of feel..but heavy on the dance beats, music The Sugababes are known for, two of my favorite songs from them are "I'm Never Going To Dance Again" and "My Love Is Pink"
i promise though "About a Girl" will have you singing and dancing along the very first time you hear it!!. props to The Sugababes .
next I'd like to talk about the next song that was released from the upcoming Paramore album "Brand New Eyes"
the song is titled "Brick by Boring Brick" and the song is anything but Boring!! this group has such an awesome way of using different tempo's, harmonies, stellar vocals and great drum beats in almost every song!!. this song is of course no different, and i am looking forward to their new album even more!!
what i love about this song is it comes hard from the beginning, letting us know the second she starts singing that Hayley Williams is quite the vocalist, and boy is she tiny!! this girl is one of the smallest woman I've ever seen ha ha, you know what I'm talking about if you've ever seen Paramore perform live. the power she has is pretty incredible.
finally tonight i would like to actually talk about a solo song i found by Hayley Williams from Paramore for the soundtrack to the upcoming movie Jennifer's Body starring Megan Fox as a sexy killer vampire high school student (From what i can gather from the preview)
the song is called "Teenagers" and dare i say that it almost sounds like a song Hayley could have written back in her teenage angst ? oh wait she's still a teenager! ha.
the song doesn't feel like a Paramore song one bit, which i love, i would have felt some what cheated if they would have slapped the Paramore name onto this song. the song is pretty short, and is guitar driven , with some fun layering of Hayley's vocals to make some pretty kick ass harmonies, it has a really fun build, and hand clap at the end that will have you clapping along, you can also hear the faint sound of perhaps 10-20 people screamin along to the hook at the end with Hayley, that must have been a fun recording session !! wish my ass coulda been there.
the song for me as a whole however, is just too short! its such a good song to be cut off before it even hits the 3 minute mark! i kind of have a hatred for songs that aren't even 3 minutes long, unless of course they're done right. you could argue that this song is just write, but to me its missing that somethin somethin that would make it a repeat listener.
at any rate, that's all for tonight ! damn this might be my first REAL long rant! ha ha
