NKOTBSB: NKOTBSB Mash Up (Mash Up)

I am just listening to some Backstreet Boys.  It's pretty boring at this point but I am still on Never Gone.  I changed it to Unbreakable but not much better.  This Is Us is kind of better but what I need is a Supergroup.  NKOTBSB is quite amazing but they need more singles; not sure what their plans are but so many egos to stroke.

NKOTBSB: Don’t Turn Out the Lights

I just finished listening to two NKOTBSB songs and it was quite amazing.  I downloaded them from iTunes last year when they released their first album entitled NKOTBSB.  It’s a Compilation album and it was produced as a Greatest hits album featuring the greatest hits from the Backstreet Boys and New Kids on the Block.  I must say it was a genius idea.

Backstreet Boys: Straight Through My Heart (Dave Aude Radio Mix)

So I just finished listening to the Dave Aude Radio Mix of Straight Through My Heart and all I can think about is the Concert I went to of theirs.  This was in August of 2008 and I will never forget it.  Girlicious opened for them who I just finished Blogging about and that was amazing.  The Backstreet Boys put on a great show and it was only the second concert I ever went too; but I am comparing it to Janet Jackson who was as equally as entertaining.

Backstreet Boys: Inconsolable

I am just listening to the Backstreet Boys.  It's my final run-through as I am set to start a new Blog-special Playlist for the New Kids on the Block with the inclusion of the Supergroup:  NKOTBSB.  That should be exciting and I am looking forward to it with great anticipation although listening to the Backstreet Boys one last time for this Playlist was exciting too; in particular the song Inconsolable as I am Blogging about that song at the moment.

Backstreet Boys: I Still…

I am just listening to the Backstreet Boys.  I was listening to some songs from their three most recent, or last three studio albums, entitled in order of release:  Never Gone, Unbreakable and This Is Us.  The songs I chose to listen to and Blog about were Incomplete, Just Want You to Know, I Still..., Inconsolable and Straight Through My Heart.  I listened to the Dave Aude Radio Mix of Straight Through My Heart and now I am going to listen to two NKOTBSB songs.

Backstreet Boys: Just Want You to Know

I just finished listening to my Backstreet Boys/NKOTBSB Playlist and it was quite amazing.  It makes me want to buy more of their stuff, on CD of course.  Whoever is reading this really needs to listen to CDs again as they are super amazing and the quality received is in no comparison to an MP3.

Backstreet Boys: Incomplete

I just finished the most amazing Playlist featuring both the Backstreet Boys and the New Kids on the Block.  Of course it was mostly a Backstreet Boy event; however I realized that I still have a New Kids on the Block CD that I have never Blogged about.  So that is next on my hit list; however I did feature them, this time around, as part of the Super-group:  NKOTBSB.

Grey's Anatomy: Season Two, Episode Five

That was a pretty good episode of Grey's Anatomy. It wasn't as good as its predecessor but every episode can't be great. However I really believe in this show, so much so that I would like to revisit my previous favorite Medical Dramas, entitled ER and St. Elsewhere. But St. Elsewhere is most likely not available on DVD (it actually is, but only the First Season thus far) and ER is a major investment; considering there are even more Seasons (15 in total), than Grey's Anatomy; in that series. Grey's Anatomy is currently in its Eighth Season, with more planned.

Grey's Anatomy: Season Two, Episode Four

I am pretty sure that episode was entitled “Deny, Deny, Deny”. But I have to check when I get home (checked it out and it was). It was a great episode and I highly recommend it. This season in particular was extraordinary and I highly recommend that as well. It is the Second Season and this episode was the Fourth Episode. It was highly educational and entertaining so that is beneficial as you tend to learn important information while you are being entertained. Of course I have always had an interest in Medicine so I am biased, however these episodes and this season in particular like I said, highlight some of the best Actors and Actresses of the series.

Grey's Anatomy: Season Two, Episode Three

That was a pretty good episode of Grey's Anatomy entitled “Make Me Lose Control”. Although not my favorite, it was still pretty interesting as it featured Meredith Grey's mother who was also a Surgeon at the Hospital in which the characters work (Seattle Grace Mercy West Hospital). She has Alzheimer’s disease and I find that intriguing since my Grandfather had that as well; although he unfortunately passed away from it. However he passed away before I got a chance to meet him so that is where it is intriguing because I would have liked to have met him, even under those pretences.

Grey's Anatomy: Season Two, Episode Two

I just finished the Second Episode of Grey's Anatomy from Season Two. It was actually stunning and amazing. I am watching it with my mother this time around, as it's my second seeing of Grey’s Anatomy, the series, and I couldn't be happier. I have also decided to stop buying this show for now so that instead of watching the Sixth Season on my own; I will watch it with her instead and therefore it should breathe new life into this show; as it is getting somewhat stale. I am hence looking forward to the Sixth Season now with great anticipation.

Grey's Anatomy: Season Two, Episode One

I just finished the Season Premiere from the Second Season of Grey's Anatomy. If you are going to buy or watch any season of Grey's Anatomy, I highly recommend the Second Season as it has the greatest content; but not only that it also has the greatest number of Episodes which amount to 27. A normal season of a Television show has averagely 24 Episodes so you are getting three more episodes and to be quite honest with you it is literally the best season; as I have seen it before. Not only that but Grey's Anatomy was coming off its Pilot Season, therefore it had great momentum; and it was at somewhat of the height of its creativity.

Grey's Anatomy: Season One, Episode Nine

That was another great episode of Grey’s Anatomy. This time it was the Season Finale of Season One which is amazing because at the end Addison Shepherd appears who just happens to be Dr. Shepherd’s first wife; and he is also known as Dr. McDreamy. Addison Shepherd on the other hand is also known as Addison Montgomery as she left the show after the Third Season to star in her own show entitled Private Practice. I also write about that show and it can most prominently be found on my Blog.

Grey's Anatomy: Season One, Episode Eight

That was a surprisingly good episode of Grey’s Anatomy. It must be because I am approaching the Season Finale of this season. It’s actually the next episode as this is a condensed season seeing as it’s the First Season. The First Season aired halfway through the regular television season and so therefore the next season, Season Two, is an expansive 27-episode DVD set including four extended episodes.

Rise of the Planet of the Apes

I am in the middle of watching Rise of the Planet of the Apes and I could not be happier. First of all I think James Franco is an amazing actor. But above and beyond that this movie is about Chimpanzees who happen to be one of my most favorite animals and most definitely my favorite type of Ape or what might be commonly known as a Monkey. Apparently the difference is that Monkeys usually have tails and Apes do not, therefore most Apes that we are familiar with all do not have a tail.

That was seriously one of the best movies I have ever seen. I am so glad I decided to get it and my Mother wants to watch it with me right away, so that should be even more fun. James Franco is an amazing actor. I have seen him in two films now. The first was the one he was nominated as Best Actor for and the film I am referring to was also nominated as Best Picture. I don’t know if I have to go any further but the film I am referring to is 127 Hours and it was also nominated for several other awards; having said that, Rise of the Planet of the Apes is apparently the first in an origin story for a new series of films so we should be seeing even more of him.

Transformers: Dark of the Moon

I am only halfway through Transformers: Dark of the Moon and it is already shaping up to be the best movie that I have ever seen. I suppose that is due in large part to my infatuation with Transformers in general. It started when I was a child collecting endless Transformers figurines and continued into adulthood when they began to bring that story to the big screen. I have seen Transformers, the first film, numerous times; Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen I have also seen numerous times.  But not as much; and this one (Transformers: Dark of the Moon) I am seeing for the first time.  I must say that it is thrilling and exciting all at the same time. I am in love with this movie and trust me I know the story very well.

I must say, that was a pretty good movie. It was actually one of the best I had ever seen primarily because of its Cinematography and High-Definition; since I watched it on an official Blu-ray Disc. That was actually the most amazing experience of it all as I had seen the preceding two, on Digital Versatile Disc or DVD. I had also seen those films numerous times to gain a scientific observation of the entire series, in order to promote them and advertise for them.  So I was well aware of the storyline of the films especially. I must say that the plot was a little weak in this one, but not much weaker than its predecessors. Having said that watching this series is impossible without this installment; it brought the series to the next level and I am very appreciative of Paramount Pictures and DreamWorks for this amazing Trilogy.

The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader

I finally got to the midway point in The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader; for the second time. It took me about six months just to do that as the first time was about that long ago that I watched it; not even factoring in when I received this movie on Blu-ray Disc.  Which was almost a year ago now. That’s how far ahead I am in the movie department, considering many people don’t even realize this movie exists. I often have to educate my fellow peers of its existence as most believe there are only two films in The Chronicles of Narnia (film saga); so far.

I just wrapped up the end of The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader and it was pretty good. It wasn’t as good as the first film but I understand that Disney had to abandon this series; so therefore you might think that the third one isn’t as good as the first two because Walt Disney Pictures distributed the first two. It’s a shame really but apparently the second installment, Prince Caspian, didn’t rake in enough money. In my opinion the series is still a good one and I recommend all three.

Source Code

This movie is great. It’s not as good as I anticipated, however Jake Gyllenhaal can barely do any wrong in my eyes. After all Jacob does mean Israel and if you are following my logic then you know I love Israel. I would like to go there someday, but I can wait until it is safer. There are people who want to remove it from the map even though it looks so pretty; sitting there amongst turmoil.

I finally finished Source Code, the movie, for the second time. It was definitely worth the wait. Before I would watch the same movie two or three times in a week when I first bought them. But with this movie I decided to wait about six months. It was amazing, therefore, and it felt like new again. I can’t help but think of Israel when I see Jake Gyllenhaal. After all, his real name, Jacob, is the equivalent of Israel in Biblical terms.

Season of the Witch

This movie is phenomenal. I cannot believe that it didn’t do well, but then of course there are strong Christian themes associated with it and we all know how people feel about that. It might not be that entirely; but I am sure it has something to do with it, since there is a clear image of a Cross shown in the Trailer.

After the film...  This movie is thrilling and amazing at the same time. I am so glad that I decided to purchase it. It has so many Christian themes in it that I find it abundantly clear why I am attracted to it so much. Of course the Critics did not agree with my Critique. However I think I know someone who would. I strongly recommend this Film it has a very powerful message.

Clash of the Titans

I am actually in the middle of watching Clash of the Titans even though it’s more like the end. However the sequel to Clash of the Titans is coming out at the end of this month, entitled Wrath of the Titans. It should be a good film and sequel and I am actually looking forward to seeing it quite a bit. I also hear that there will be a film after that possibly, since they are calling it a Series and that usually means more than two films. I wanted to watch this film again, before I give it away, but also before I see the Sequel to refresh my memory. I think this is a great story and I enjoy Sam Worthington quite a bit considering I own other films that he is a part of.

I finally finished Clash of the Titans even though I just started it today. I wanted to finish it right away because the sequel is coming out at the end of the month and I wasn’t paying attention that closely, so I lost sight of it, preceding this. However I am back on track now and very much looking forward to the Sequel, whether it be on Disc or in the Theatre. Of course if I buy it on Disc it will be on Blu-ray Disc only as I do not buy DVDs anymore unless they are for Television; which is exactly the reason why my Film watching has subsided. I don’t have the money for expensive Blu-ray Discs anymore so I am holding off more than I would like.

Avatar

This movie is still one of my favorite movies, if not the favorite. It is so nice to think that there is a Planet out there like that when you are forced to live on the Earth for a million years. Or what seems like it. I am so looking forward to getting off of this retched Planet at some point. I am not saying I want to die, but since I believe in space travel that is what propels me to the next level. It will be so nice to explore other Galaxies and Planets. I hear there are Billions of each out there.

After completion... That was seriously one of the best movies I have ever seen and I am not just saying that. Sam Worthington is amazing. I have three movies that I know of, from him on DVD. Those movies are Clash of the Titans, Terminator Salvation and Avatar. Of course Avatar is the most amazing however the other two should not be overlooked. Avatar is completely amazing and mind blowing. I am still in love with this movie.

The Hills: Season One, Episode Four

That was a pretty good episode of The Hills entitled "Lauren and Jason, Take Two". That makes it Episode Four from Season One of six and it featured Jason Wahler, most notably from my experience, from the Fourth Season of Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew. But he is also a main cast member on the show Laguna Beach: The Real Orange County from Season Two, which is now obviously off the air, but available on DVD through Amazon.com and is affiliated with The Hills considering that the television program entitled The Hills is a Spinoff of that show.

Jersey Shore: Season One, Episode One

That was a pretty good episode of Jersey Shore. I don’t remember if it’s three times I have seen it now or two, but it is at least two. I own it on DVD and I highly recommend it either that way or Streaming. Right now I recommend DVD until they perfect the Streaming method more and provide more content as it seems only select episodes are available and sometimes I even find it difficult to find certain things on Disc, to be honest with you.

Keeping Up with the Kardashians: Season One, Episode Four

This episode of Keeping Up with the Kardashians was entitled Bunny Business and it was phenomenal. Of course I am watching it after this year’s Super Bowl halftime performance so I am feeling pretty good. However, Keeping Up with the Kardashians is such a great show and has so much good content that it is nearly impossible to go wrong with them. I have only seen two seasons so far and I must say that it is one the most highly and well produced shows, both Reality and otherwise, out there.

The Simple Life: Season Three (Interns), Episode Ten

I totally just finished the Tenth Episode of The Simple Life, Season Three. It was absolutely amazing even though I have seen it numerous times. However during this episode they were Tarot Card readers and Psychics and so that is always fun. It was so funny because their boss was a little unarticulated so they were having fun with her although I am not sure if she was having fun with them.

Grey's Anatomy: Season Five, Episode Twenty Four

I tried so hard not to like that episode of Grey’s Anatomy, the Season Finale of Season Five; Episode Twenty Four. I didn’t really succeed however I am taking an extended break from this show. I have decided to watch it again from scratch with my Mother who I intended to watch it with from the beginning. But I can’t wait forever to do things I want to do. I am going to pick up with Season Six when I have completed the episode I just saw after I get to it with her.

Lost: Season Five, Episode Thirteen

That was a great episode of Lost. It was entitled “Some Like It Hoth” and it was the Thirteenth Episode in a Sixteen Episode season which means I am approaching the end. I might take a little break from Lost after this season, as I have, or will have seen five seasons in about two years, and I saw the first three at lightning speed. Especially considering that the first three seasons were regular in length whereas the following three, or last three (Season Four, Five and Six) are condensed in nature so it should take less time to get through those. They only have about ¾ of the amount of episodes a season of regular length has which is usually 24.

Private Practice: Season Two, Episode Sixteen

That was a really bad episode of Private Practice. Even though it included some, if not a lot, of Grey’s Anatomy cast members. But it still wasn’t enough to turn me into a fan again. I am pretty sure that I am going to abandon this series so I can concentrate on shows I want to watch, rather than on shows people I know want to watch. Doing what other people want, always gets me in trouble.

Yolanda Adams: In the Midst of It All (Live Version)

I finally finished my Yolanda Adams playlist.  I say that not because of my dislike for her rather for the distain my neighbors feel for her as they are forced to listen to her because of my need for research.  It’s not easy researching songs that are not popular however I am willing to sacrifice my comfort for a little bit of pain as I know that any and all suffering is rewarded.

Yolanda Adams: That Name (Live Version)

I had a feeling that the first Sunday in Lent was significant and I was right.  It is known as Quadragesima Sunday or Invocavit Sunday.  So Sundays are not counted in the forty days of modern Lent and so therefore Lent technically starts on Ash Wednesday now, whereas during early Christianity it started on Ash Monday; which would be tomorrow as I am writing this on the first Sunday during Lent.  That Monday is now referred to as Clean Monday.  It’s very confusing but none the less I decided to listen to some Gospel music on the first Sunday of Lent – The Most Holy Lance and Nails.  It is also known as Quadragesima Sunday as aforementioned above.

Yolanda Adams: Already Alright

I am almost done my Yolanda Adams playlist.  My goal is to finish it before Easter Sunday to pay my respects to God and to honor him.  My neighbors might not think it’s the best thing, but like I could care what they think when my only goal in life is to obey and follow The Lord.  Anyhow today is Shrove Tuesday and so far I am meeting my goal as I only have to listen to my Yolanda Adams playlist two more times before Easter, which at this point is 46 days away.

Yolanda Adams: Continual Praise

Continual Praise is a great track included on the Mountain High… Valley Low studio album from Yolanda Adams, making it her sixth studio album.  It is also included on The Experience which is her second live album.  The Experience is the first album I purchased from Yolanda Adams and I have been listening to it off and on since around the time I purchased it which was way back at the beginning of this Century.

Yolanda Adams: He’ll Arrive (Coming Back)

I just had a pretty good religious experience, but with the passing of Christmas and the onset of Lent, people are feeling a little bit overwhelmed and I don’t blame them.  I am feeling it myself and so I chose to stock up before the precious season of Lent because that’s when things really start to go awry.  Take for example the Last Supper which preceded the Crucifixion of Jesus Christ.

Yolanda Adams: Yeah

This is a great song.  It’s the second song from Mountain High… Valley Low.  Apparently it was released as a single but I have no recollection of that since I wasn’t into Christian music then nor is Christian music ever really successful.  However this album is amazing and is most likely the best, or close to it, Christian album I have ever heard.  This single should not be overlooked.

Yolanda Adams: The Battle Is the Lord’s

This was a little warm-up song for the next few songs.  It’s seriously one of the only songs I like, if not the only, so far, from Yolanda Adams on her Greatest Hits CD.  That CD is entitled The Best of Yolanda Adams, however that shouldn’t stop you from getting it.  I just don’t have time right now to get to know each and every individual song on this album.

Madonna: Paradise (Not for Me)

I finally finished my Madonna/Music playlist.  It was pretty interesting but not nearly as exciting as my American Life playlist.  I actually finished that playlist in 24 hours, whereas this album took what felt like an eternity to get through.  Anyhow I am enjoying listening to it quite a bit, although no song in my mind compares to the lead song and single entitled Music itself, since the album is also entitled Music.

Madonna: What It Feels Like for a Girl

I just finished listening to Music again.  It was quite amazing especially since this time I was listening to it with my Mother.  That is always fun and I really enjoy it.  Having said that there was a sad period when Paradise (Not for Me) came on.  All I could think about was Whitney Houston as her funeral is today, written on February 18th, 2012.

Madonna: Don’t Tell Me

I am almost done my Madonna – Music playlist.  That’s good because I am somewhat tired of this album, having got to know it in a previous life; speaking about my former lifestyle.  The song Music is great and so is the song I am currently Blogging about – Don’t Tell Me – however I feel as though there is a lot of filler on this album which I am not accustomed to, having just listened to the album American Life.

Madonna: Nobody’s Perfect

Nobody’s Perfect is the sixth track included on the album Music.  This album was not very successful but it was coming off the heels of a little comeback album entitled Ray of Light.  Of course Madonna has never really gone away so any comeback for her is taken with a grain of salt.  However Ray of Light did exhaust her audience and therefore Music didn’t garner as much in terms of sales.

Madonna: Amazing

Amazing is a great song but I can’t put too much emphasis on the lead single to this album being Music.  The album is also entitled Music and that just goes to show how important this song is.  If you listen to it closely you will understand the message behind it as I did years ago.  This album was released at the cusp of the turn of the Century, being the most recent and what you then start to realize is Music, speaking about the broad definition and not just the definition of this song; however you then begin to realize the importance of Music in our lives.

Madonna: Impressive Instant

Impressive Instant is a pretty lyrically weak song.  The beat is also weak and the melody isn’t much better.  I could go on about the musical aspects of this song, but what I think is important is the fact that it’s the second song included on the massively successful album Music.  I would not have bought this album but for the fact that that song is included on the album.  Of course I am not referring to Impressive Instant, rather the song Music.

Madonna: Music

Music was released as the lead single from the massively successful 8^th studio album of Madonna's entitled the same name.  The album Music only spawned three singles overall but has some really well-written material and the material is very spiritual.  I find it very spiritual in particular because it talks about a lot of the things I have on my mind like the skies and the ground.  Of course I am not strictly speaking about the ground of the Earth and our own sky.

Alicia Keys: Try Sleeping with a Broken Heart

Try Sleeping with a Broken Heart is quite literally the best song from The Element of Freedom, the fourth studio album released by Alicia Keys.  That album was released two days after my birthday in 2009 on December 11th.  Try Sleeping with a Broken Heart in my opinion is the best song by Alicia Keys released in years.  Of course I am referring to her solo efforts and not Empire State of Mind, on which she is featured.

Alicia Keys: Doesn’t Mean Anything

So I am listening to Doesn't Mean Anything now but instead of Blogging about that I would like to focus on the song Alicia Keys performed at the funeral for Whitney Houston.  She actually performed a great song from her third studio album entitled Prelude to a Kiss, renamed Send Me an Angel.

Jay-Z featuring Alicia Keys: Empire State of Mind

Empire State of Mind is an amazing song.  It practically went to #1 in every country or at least the top 10.  That is a pretty amazing feat and of course it features the City of Dreams, New York, whereas the City of Angels is Los Angeles.

Alicia Keys: Superwoman

Superwoman is a great song.  It was released as the fourth and final single from As I Am, the third studio album released by Alicia Keys.  I was inspired to Blog about Alicia Keys because she recently performed at the funeral for Whitney Houston.  Anyone who takes that giant leap of Faith deserves honor and respect in my eyes.

Alicia Keys: Teenage Love Affair

I couldn't listen to Teenage Love Affair anymore but I definitely got in Try Sleeping with a Broken Heart.  That is most likely my favorite Alicia Keys song ever and I have many, but this song in particular was really when I began to support her, musically speaking.
