Mariah Carey Does It Again!
2008-02-13 03:30:00 Mariah Carey She’s at it again...Mariah Carey is making ”hits” again. Say what you want about her, Mariah Carey is delivering top quality music. Her last album had one song that pushed the rest of the album,”The Emancipation of Mimi”, to the top of the charts. “The Emancipation of Mimi” launched with a new and unexpected sound for Mariah Carey with the song, "We Belong Together", this song was a musical gem. She and Jermaine Dupree produced one hell of a tune when they made "We Belong Together". I predicted after hearing that song, that she would be back in the winner’s circle.

Talking About Self-Growth: Fake Teachers
2008-02-08 05:15:00 You know them, their on television, on your AM dial, their everywhere and you continuously try to implement their false regimens. Just like those odd, unsafe and uneffective diet plans we are bombarded with, we are constant targets for worthless self-growth and self-improvement courses and plans.The only defense for these self-help and personal development gurus is a clear mind. The very thing so-called self-growth teachers and preachers promise to give you with their books, lectures and instructions. These smiling and clever individuals are quite aware that their teachings are in most cases totally valueless but fame and money are too attractive for them to resist. That being so, these fake and in many cases, misguided souls are more than willing to sell you a bill of goods. But if you listen with attention and use your reason , you will see that most of these teachers of self-growth are just actors. They say what they think you want to hear.Self-growth as it is taught today is l... More About: Growth , Fake , Talking , Teachers
Props To My Man, Boy George
2008-02-06 05:20:00 Do you guys remember Boy George ? Yeah, I also had to get pass the appearance. But man, he had a wonderful and original voice. Boy George had this strong yet melodic style of singing. He really could sing; most of his ‘joints’ I liked. He song in a very deep and soulful way, his voice convinced me that he feel music deeply like myself. To day we don’t hear many Boy George’s - talent is getting less and less available. One would think that the radio stations and record companies are orchestrating some kind of diabolical attack on our precious ears given the low quality of the music we are forced to hear these days. Boy George, represents a quality and uniqueness rarely presented today. Listen to some Boy George today.boy georgemusicradio
Secret Revealed: Why The Rolling Stones, The Eagles And Other Bands Are Bac
2008-01-13 18:39:00 Older bands and older singers are more popular than the current ones. Why? I know why - recording artist like The Rolling Stones , The Police, Led Zeppelin, The Eagles have something our current entertainers don’t: musical talent.With the music industry's current ‘bring’m in, throw’m out’ mentality, what more could you expect? What the present music scene needs it exactly what these individuals provide: real good music. They give you creativity, musical ability, along with excitement - the very things the music industry is missing today. Trying to find decent music on the radio today can be a challenge, it can really bring a music-lover(like myself) to anger - good music is just simply hard to find on many a radio station. One has to go to the oldies or 70s, 80s radio stations. This is a crying shame, I’m sure you agree with my view on this.Think on this: The Eagles made a song called “Hotel California”, it is a true gem, we know all the words to this masterpiece o...

Kanye West's Music Is Improving
2007-12-29 03:46:00 I’m finally starting to sort of feel Kanye West. His new album, “Graduation”, has more than simple sampling, there are some very original sounds on it. That got my attention, his attempt to be original, present new production, new melodies. I also applaud his bravery in songwriting(his or not), the albums lyrics are definite, no reading between the lines, he says what he means clearly. “Graduation” has a rawness that gets across. Kanye West started out as just a sampler but now I feel he is evolving. What more can I say? “Graduation” is definitely a new step for him. Does he have more?

The Real Reason That The Music Business Is Down!
2007-12-20 09:35:00 Record company executives are feeling very down these days, the bis' just aint popping like it use to. Record and cd sales are way down. The state of affairs is, indeed, gloomy but I say it should have been expected. The music industry has been throwing out a lot of low quality music. The current group of recording artists leave much to be desired, most are simply bad duplicates of “true” and talented artist, like Micheal Jackson. Micheal Jackson, said to say, is a prime target of many of the wannabes in the music industry. Sales are down primarily because of the mediocre talent that now roams the music world’s praries, internet file-sharing is only a byproduct of the state of things, people don’t feel an impulse to buy most of today’s music offerings but they are willing to download it for free.So, how can the record companies return to their place of glory? Well, the way consists in refusing to “sign” untalented bands and singers. Record companies must become more d... More About: Business , Music , Reason , Real , The Music

A Personal Development Plan Will Help You
2007-12-15 02:37:00 We humans seem to always just want to do enough, just get by. We settle for a B when we could have tried harder and made an A. People often do and accomplish things with the least amount of effort they can muster - we usually choose the easiest route. We never want to really have to battle with an issue in our lives, we just want it solved in the quickest and easiest manner possible, but remember - no pain, no gain.Finding an easy solution to a problem may feel good but it won’t help you develop and strengthen your mental facilities. Your mind needs exercise just like your body. Yes, you can increase the power of your mind - you can make it retain thoughts better(memory), you can make it more alert, more conscious of its surroundings, etc...Personal development means exactly these things. Personal development asks us to consider the way we make use of our bodies and minds. It gives us a procedure to use that will end in a more useful and skillful mind. This is something we all c...

How to make a "hit" song with strong lyrics
2007-11-14 02:22:00 The music industry and its rock stars strive on lyrics - lyrics are the parts of songs we sing. With lyrics a song communicates its purpose for being. A song may contain beautiful music, but if its lyrics don’t combine harmoniously with the melodic sounds - the song is sure to fail. The song will have no “vibe” and the listeners won’t be able to fully appreciate the music because of the misdirection of the vocals. The listener’s ears and mind will be caught in the uncomfortable position of trying to harmonize the enjoyable music with the annoying and distracting vocals. There are quite a few recordings with great music and unsettling lyrics. A great artist has great sounds and great songwriting. He feels the lyrics as well as the instruments. He gives both equal attention and this is how he makes “hit” songs - songs that communicate well. Apply these steps and make your next song a hit song:1. Think about the meaning of the song, think about the reason you want to make... More About: Lyrics , Song , Make , Strong
PICASSO COULD DRAW - HE WAS MORE THAN CUBISM(Pics)
2007-11-07 01:35:00 Picasso is known for his paintings of cubism, but he could have also rendered more correctively formed pictures.

Picasso consciously chose the abstract path, for he was a skilled traditional artist as well. Just look at these:pablo picassoartistpicture More About: Picasso , Draw , Pica , Icas

Andy Warhol Changed The Modern Art World
2007-11-05 02:36:00 My early thoughts about this art world icon were sorely incomplete and inwardly deceptive, this figure had a very silent but exposive personality that caused everyone who met him to misinterpret him. Behind the blonde hair and nu vogue wardrobe lied a rather intriquing and accomplished visual artist - an artist that would change society and help usher in the “pop culture". Andy Warhol was a catalyst for a new world structuralization of our normal psyche, revealing a new and a exciting chapter in our ways of viewing the art world. He showed that the visual arts can commune with and influence all in a very profund way.The vision of Andy Warhol was in the changing of what we as consumers of visual communication consider art, and thereby challenging the established criteria by which the arts are judged by the art world elite. Warhol’s cans, portraits and other works were an attempt to lead the way in this direction. Since his rampage on the art scene, art has become more accessible ...

How Halloween Can Help You Face Your Fears And Have a Happier Life
2007-10-31 03:11:00 “The Halloween Method For Change”Here it is again, that scary and gruesome holiday we call “Halloween”. Yeah, here comes the ghosts, the vampires, the monsters, and all the negative vibes that come along with this last day in October. This being the case, I propose a plan of action - my “Halloween Method For Change” - a method that uses the negative theme and frightfulness of this holiday as a helpful tool in our day-to-day lives. It will turn Halloween into a positve force for personal development, instead of just an entertaining event. Turning A Negative Holiday Into A Positive EventAs we know and love, Halloween is about dressing up in scary costumes and faces and receiving gifts(candy for kids and gifts for adults). I propose that we can utilize the negative faces, dress and horrific nature of this occassion as a catalyst for creating a more positive and less intimidating and fearful existence.

Marion is the latest top ranked athlete to admit using drugs to enhance her performance. This revelation is another blown to the image of our beloved sports world.
