When I heard he was working on an album, I didn't think it was gonna be anything to be excited about.... I've had a love/hate relationship with Ginuwine for YEARS!! I must say, his new track "Last Chance" is a banger and I'm happy to hear he's been in the studio with RL (from Next)!!
Here's his lastest [with a video cameo by Lisaraye & Tyrese]
... Especially when I can relate to it! I saw this on a friend's blog [Check out her original poetry as well... she's dope! Pauleanna Reid - http://comeandsharemyworld.blogspot.com ] & I had to post it.... ENJOY!
I'm always on YouTube looking for up & coming singers because I'm interested to know what everyone is into & what they sound like. This is first feature is of Dondria, aka [for the regular youtubers like me] Phatfffat! I've been listening to this lady for over a year now & I think she has some real solid vocals! JD agrees with me.... He signed her to SoSo Def (*Ahem*... I'm coming for my chain dude)!!
So, I've been waiting for the group Brutha to hurry up & drop a video for their 2nd single "She's Gone" because I absolutely LOVE the song! I love the way it was written & they did a very good job vocally on the track.... [Plus, I think Jacob is adorable!]
HOWEVER, I have to be real.... This video is QUITE disappointing! Ummm... The umbrella intro? Unnecessary. The acting? Cheesy. The dancing? JUST STOP IT!!! This is a perfect example of a perfectly good song ruined by the video!!
I've heard the name Serius Jones before but I didn't know anything about him. I actually thought he was a dude that did slam poetry! Anywho, I found this movie/ documentry while checkin out Lola P's website [ http://iluvlola.net/blog ] & thought it was so funny!!

I love these dudes! Will, Que, Robert, Mike & Brian... Yes it's true, I got caught up in Making the Band 4 starring my boys DAY 26!! I love 'em! I went out, bought the their debut cd [Self titled - Day 26], bumpped it EVERYDAY for months and still rock to it to this day! I'm sooooooo excited for their new cd, titled Forever in a Day... I already have some favs on there!
Finally, Andre 3000 launches his clothing line BENJAMIN BIXBY and I must say, a lot of these pieces are very dapper! Gentlemen take notes: overly bagging clothing has BEEN out! Put on a Polo! Put on a blazer! Put on a tie! Put on a cardigan! Wear something fitted [& I stress fitted, not TIGHT]!
Ok, I'll admit to it.... I HATED'Day & Nite' when I first heard it.... Well actually, after the first hundred times I heard it to be honest. I thought it was annoying. Then, it slowly started to grow on me & I even caught myself singing it! Then I saw him on tv................ such a cutie!! He's my ideal NERD <3.... I LOVE HIM! I've been bumpin 'Switchin Lanes'HEAVY!!
... Ahem, there is ONE flaw tho... baby, plz STOP SMOKING!!
I dunno what it is about jackets but I go CRAZY over them!! I feel like a dope jacket can take an already fab outfit to another level!! Here arew a few pieces I picked out from a few celebs and from a fashion website [ http://www.asos.com ].
I absolutely adore this LADY. A beautiful woman, a great actress & one of my favorite fashionistas!!! Whether the outfit she's wearing is mix-matched or simple with clean lines, her stlye is always tasteful & fab!
While blog-surfing, I came across this video on Estelle's page. My inital thought was, "Wow... hawt-ass mess" but, I actually laughed pretty hard towards the end. People really go hard when they're imitating rappers, lol!!
Here's a christmas parody from.... ahhh, just watch it....
Well, a few months ago, I was YouTube surfing & I came across a video of a girl singing 'Have Yourself a Merry Christmas' but her name at the time was Syren (& she sounded damn good too!). Anyways, I just realized about 2 months ago that Melanie Fiona was that girl & I then remembered that she was also one third of the R&B trio called "X-Quiste"..... WELCOME BACK LADY!!!
I LOVE "Give It To Me Right", "Monday Morning", "It Kills Me" & "Bang Bang".... I'm so happy that everyone is loving it as well. Your music, your stage presence & your vibe is so on point mama, GO 'HEAD!!
Here's a video I found of her singing one of my fav songs, 'Ready 4 Love'
& here's a video of her performing a few songs live @ The Canal Room in NYC
