Mariah Carey: Obsessed


Obsessed is good, but at this point I am sick of it.

Mariah Carey: H.A.T.E.U.


H.A.T.E.U. is pretty good but I have never really liked it.

Mariah Carey: Up out my Face


Up out My face is so much better without Nicki Minaj on it.  I never really got into her and even though so many of the artists I support feature her on their songs, I still don't like her.

Mariah Carey: Angels Cry


The version of Angels Cry without Ne-Yo featured on it is so much better than the version featuring him on it.

Mariah Carey: I want to Know what Love is


I want to Know what Love is, is a pretty good song.  I need some new Mariah Carey material to get inspired again.

Mariah Carey: I stay in Love (Jody den Broeder radio edit)


The Jody den Broeder radio edit of I stay in Love is sick and I mean that in the best way.  How could anyone remix a song so well?

Mariah Carey featuring Westlife: Against all Odds (Take a Look at me now)


The version of Against all Odds (Take a Look at me now) featuring Westlife blows me away.  Westlife is one of my favorite Boy bands and even though I probably shouldn't be admitting that, I could care less.

T.I.: Go get it


Go get it is a great track. Included as the eighth track on Trouble Man: Heavy is the Head, T.I.'s eighth Studio album; it was released as the lead single to that album. That was a great choice in my opinion because not only is it somewhat mainstream but it has great Hip hop appeal as well.

T.I.: The way we ride


The way we ride is a pretty sick song. It appears as the tenth track on Trouble Man: Heavy is the Head and I highly recommend that song. Trouble Man: Heavy is the Head is T.I.'s eighth Studio album, and I highly recommend that as well referring to the album. I received this album for Christmas of 2012 and it was the best thing I got. Nothing else comes close really, the songs are amazing and T.I.'s creative writing skills have only improved since his latest stint in Prison. I guess prison has a way of making you humble and grateful for the life you have. I know I am grateful for what I have as I often imprison myself for good reason.

T.I.: Trap back Jumpin


Trap back jumpin is a wicked track.  I am assuming that this track is referring to T.I.’s website entitled www.TrapMuzik.com but I have no idea.  However that website is an amazing website and if you are looking for good video content of T.I. then I highly recommend his YouTube video channel entitled TIvsTIP.  That is his official channel and it contains most of his Music videos.

T.I. featuring Ceelo Green: Hello


Hello is not a great song but it co-written by Pharrell Williams who I am a huge fan of. He has worked with Madonna and Gwen Stefani to name a few. Those are just a few artists who I am also huge fans of who he has worked with.  Madonna is my number one favorite singer and Gwen Stefani is right up there. He didn't work with Gwen Stefani on her current album with No Doubt but he is pretty much synonymous with her as far as I am concerned; whereas he is not a well-known collaborator of Madonna's.

T.I. featuring Meek Mill: G season


G season is a pretty sick song but it's not for the faint of heart. It has very explicit lyrics and I don't recommend it for just anyone. However I can handle it because I am so hard, just to steal a line from a Rihanna song as I am sure she wouldn't mind since she is an associated act of T.I.'s. Not only that but she is quite often a featured artist on my Blog. Regardless the song I am referencing is entitled Hard itself.

Wiz Khalifa: Work hard, Play hard


Another great review of Work hard, Play hard on Compact Disc.  I am so glad that I decided to switch back to Compact Discs.  Not only is the sound quality superb but I no longer have to support iTunes, or Apple.  It’s not that I hate Apple, but since I am an Amazon.com associate, it’s better for business to support the company I am working for.

Wiz Khalifa featuring Cam’ron: The bluff


The bluff is a great song, featuring Cam'ron there has been a Music video filmed for it already in anticipation of a future release. It would be the third release from o.n.i.f.c. which is Wiz Khalifa's second major release and fourth overall; second from his current label Atlantic records which is a great label in my opinion, featuring artists like Sean Paul among others.

Madonna: Frozen


Frozen was released as the lead single from Madonna's seventh Studio album Ray of light.  I just received that album on Compact disc from Amazon.com and it was exciting because it was the last album I needed to complete my Studio album collection from Madonna.  I now have all 12 of her Studio albums, not only in my collection; but I have each and every one of them on Compact disc which is exciting because Compact disc has superior sound quality in comparison to MP3, even though MP3 is obviously newer. But MP3 is also cheaper so you therefore get what you pay for; a reduction in sound quality.

Madonna: Hollywood


Hollywood was released as the second single from the album American life.  I received that album last year before Easter and it was exciting because Madonna makes several references to Jesus Christ in some of the songs on that album.  American life was released as Madonna’s ninth Studio album and it was shortly before the war on Terror picked up so she received some flak for the raciness in the original version of the Music video for American life.

Madonna: Give it 2 me


Give it 2 me was released as the second single from Madonna’s eleventh Studio album entitled Hard Candy.  4 minutes was the lead single and even though Give it 2 me did exceptionally well considering Madonna’s clout in the Music industry at that time; it still had little impact on the rest of the world.  However 4 minutes did pretty good on the charts so I guess you can’t have it both ways.

Madonna: American pie


American pie was released at the very beginning of the new Millennium, Century and decade of the 2000s.  That is significant in my mind because shortly thereafter September 11th occurred and in my mind that is when the Music died because in Islam, for example, you are not allowed to listen to Music.  And I was very prominently told that by a Muslim brother. In fact he even went so far as to tell me to stop listening to it.

Madonna: Bedtime story


The Music video for Bedtime story is one of Madonna's best.  Bedtime story was released as the third official single from the album of the same name in sorts.  For example, the album's name is Bedtime stories but the song on the album of a similar name is Bedtime story so even though it is similar; it is still different.  However it is still a great album and song. In fact I thought it was a genius idea to do that.  I have never seen it done before or since and I highly recommend doing things like that to artists.

Madonna: Physical Attraction


Physical Attraction is a great song.  It appears as the seventh track listed on Madonna’s first album.  That album is Madonna; that is what it is entitled.  I just received that album on Compact disc; however unlike the version I previously owned, this version is the re-mastered version and it contains two bonus tracks.  They are great tracks as well, the new mix of Lucky star and the 12” version of Burning up.

Madonna: I'll remember(orbit remix)


The orbit remix of I’ll remember is a pretty good remix.  I remember, no pun intended, getting the Maxi-single of I’ll remember and loving it because there are two remixes of I’ll remember on it.  But above and beyond that, the original version of I’ll remember is included on it most obviously that can otherwise only be found on the With Honors original motion picture soundtrack.

Spice Girls: Stop


Stop was released as the third single from Spiceworld. Mel B's voice is fantastic. I remember liking her back in 1997 but nowadays I really like her considering how deep and spiritual her voice is.  In particular, the song Stop that I am referring to; really showcases her vocal talent.

Spice Girls: Holler


Holler was released as the lead single from Forever. I like this song in particular because it showcases Victoria Beckham's vocal talent the best, finally. It took three albums for her to come out of her shell but she finally did it on this song. Victoria Beckham is also known as Posh Spice and she then went on to be the most well-known member of the group; considering her marriage and family with Football(Soccer) star David Beckham.

Spice Girls: Goodbye


Goodbye was released as the first single after the second Studio album released by the Spice girls, entitled Spiceworld. It was also the first single released by them following the departure of one of the main members of the group, Geri Halliwell. Goodbye was later included on their third Studio album released years later, entitled Forever. But it was originally released as a standalone single immediately following the release of the Spice girls' ninth single, Viva forever.

Spice Girls: 2 become 1


2 become 1 was released as the third single from the Spice girls' debut Studio album entitled Spice.  It was a great album and it really put the UK on the map, once again as a powerhouse for Pop music.  The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland has really produced some great acts in the past and the Spice girls are no exception. In fact I would say they are the best selling female group that has ever hailed from the UK.

Spice Girls: Viva Forever


Viva forever was released as the fourth and final single from Spiceworld. It was the first Music video that Geri Halliwell did not appear in since she departed from the group shortly prior to its filming.  Once again, this song showcases Mel B's vocal talent very well. In particular she says some very poignant things at the very end of the song.

Spice Girls: Spice up your life


Spice up your life was released as the lead single from the album Spiceworld. That would be the Spice girls' second Studio album and it was released fresh off of the heels of their debut album Spice in 1997. I highly recommend both of those albums.

Spice Girls: Let love lead the way


Let love lead the way was released as the second single from the third Studio album released by the Spice girls.  That album is entitled Forever and it was the last Studio album released by the Spice girls considering that Geri Halliwell departed from the group during the release and promotion of the preceding Studio album. It was a sad time but the girls went on.

Madonna: Erotica


Erotica was released as the lead single from the album of the same name.  That album was an amazing album and in fact it was so amazing in my opinion that it spawned the purchase of Madonna’s entire catalog for me.  I went on from the album Erotica to buy almost everything that Madonna has ever released.  Some people didn’t like the Erotica era for obvious reasons, however it is ultimately one of my favorites.

Madonna: Burning up


The Music video for Burning up is pretty exciting. I have not seen it very many times because it wasn't a video I wanted to watch often but now that I have Madonna's first album on Compact disc once again and the version I bought contains a remix of Burning up. I find myself liking this song more and the video isn't half bad.

Madonna: Celebration


Celebration was released as the lead single from the album of the same name. That album is Madonna's third Greatest hits album and it's a great one. I have the video collection of that album on DVD and I watch it a lot. In fact I was just watching it quite a bit last night and it was exciting because Madonna's Music videos are the best in my opinion. It is my guess that she more Music videos than any other artist how she has not stopped. Whereas many of her peers from that generation, i.e. Michael Jackson, have.

Madonna: I'm a sinner


I'm a sinner is a pretty good song. I was just listening to it while I road by the Roman Catholic Church on the bus.  It was St. Mary's Basilica and Madonna very prominently mentions the Blessed Virgin Mary in this song.  She says a little Hail Mary a few times and that excites me because I am learning the Holy Rosary.

Madonna: American life


American life was released as the lead single from the album of the same name.  That is Madonna's ninth Studio album and it was released shortly after the war on terror began.  That was a pretty sad time in my life considering I had just lost my sister four months to the day exactly preceding the now infamous date of September 11th, 2001. It would be fun to erase that time but you can't change the past. So I will just move on and pretend that it didn't happen.

Madonna: I'll remember


I'll remember was released as the first single after the singles released from the album Erotica, by Madonna.  It's from a movie and even though it is a little more difficult to find than most of Madonna's work, that shouldn't stop you from getting it. In fact, I highly recommend getting it. I'll remember is one of my favorite Madonna songs ever. It is also found on a ballad Compilation album Madonna put together entitled Something to remember. But I prefer the Maxi-single of this song. It is way more interesting, with some remixes included.

Madonna: Turn up the radio


The Music video for Turn up the radio is pretty exciting.  As far as I know the best place that you can find it is on Madonna’s second YouTube channel entitled MADONNAVEVO.  It’s more difficult to find than her other videos on YouTube because most of her other videos are found on her primary YouTube channel entitled Madonna.  However it’s worth finding whence you find it.

The Hills: Season three, “Girls night out”


I am watching the Twenty-fourth episode of the Hills from Season three.  It is really exciting. They are at a club and they are fighting. When I say they, I am referring to Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt because they are the show as far as I am concerned. The other characters are just the pilgrims and even though I shouldn't say that, the only other one that stands out is Brody Jenner and he isn't even a regular.  Heidi Montag is the most amazing celebrity right now. I will just call her Mrs. Monday since that is her name in German. Montag is German for Monday.

The Hills: Season three, “Just be careful…”


I just finished the Twenty-third episode of The Hills from Season three. It was exciting.  I am now looking forward to getting the Fourth season on DVD since I am almost through this season with only five episodes left and instead of only watching one, once in a while; I am now watching one every day.

The Hills: Season three, “When Spencer finds out…”


I just finished the Twenty-second episode of The Hills from Season three and it was pretty exciting.  Heidi Montag is a great celebutante and I highly recommend not only this show but her music and Music videos. They can be found most easily on the YouTube channel entitled Jaden Rosencrans.  I am pretty sure Heidi used to have her own but I can't seem to find it. None the less her videos are amazing!

The Hills: Season three, “An unexpected friend”


The Twenty-first episode of The Hills from Season three was pretty exciting.  I am really getting into this season now as I had taken a long break from this series and Hollywood in general.  But this helps me warm up to the whole Hollywood vibe again that has been missing from my life.  I have been trying to embrace Islam and the EU. However sometimes I get sick of the whole foreign vibe and want some down to earth American pie. Even though Heidi Montag, for example, is hardly humble pie.

The Hills: Season three, “Back to LA”


I just finished the Twentieth episode of The Hills from Season three and it was pretty exciting.  I am very excited I got back into this show.  I was most definitely missing Hollywood with all of the European Union material I have been studying and consuming.  They really are two different worlds and I can see why people like both but to be honest with you if I ever make it to the EU; I will most definitely miss Hollywood the most.  It’s not that I live in Hollywood or anything but when you live in North America you are inundated with it and the more I learn about the EU; the more I realize that and how I won’t be once or if I move there.

The Hills: Season three, “Paris changes everything”


I am watching the Nineteenth episode of The Hills from Season three and it's very exciting.  This particular episode is entitled "Paris changes everything" and I am astounded at how exciting it is as I am dreaming of moving to Paris myself and to see some 'angels' from Hollywood there excites me.  I say angels because Los Angeles is synonymous with the city of angels because Los Angeles means 'the angels' in Spanish.

The Hills: Season three, “When one door closes”


I just finished the eighteenth episode of The Hills from Season three and it was amazing.  I am so glad I got back into this show. The Hills as a reality Television hit series is one of the best I have ever seen, including but not limited to The Simple Life starring Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie & Keeping up with the Kardashians starring Kim, Khloe, Kourtney and Rob Kardashian. Those three Reality television series are my favorite of all-time. It will be difficult to beat those however I see attempts being made.

Madonna: Erotica


Erotica was released as the lead single from Madonna's fifth Studio album of the same name.  It appears as the first song on the album and is honestly one of my favorite Madonna songs ever.  That's crazy because it is extremely controversial but that is what drove me to her.  For example, the Music video was banned immediately and I only was able to view it years later when she released it on DVD with her most recent Greatest hits package in 2009.

Madonna: Lucky Star


The “New” mix of Lucky Star included on the re-mastered version of Madonna’s self-titled debut Studio album is a great mix.  It was actually a little difficult to listen to because it is so exciting.  I just received the re-mastered version of Madonna’s self-titled debut Studio album on Compact Disc from Amazon.com in the mail.  What a great gift that was.  I enjoy Madonna too much; however receiving the first album she ever released was one of the best things I have ever received.

Madonna: Ray of Light


Ray of light is a great single. It is the second single released from the album of the same name, which is Madonna's seventh Studio album. I highly recommend that album but not for obvious reasons, the reason I recommend it is because I love the two songs entitled Skin and Sky fits heaven. There are a few other songs on the album which were not released as singles that are also very interesting but for me it is Skin and Sky fits heaven.

Madonna: Girl gone wild


Girl gone wild was released as the second single from Madonna's twelfth Studio album entitled MDNA.  I was very excited to get that album as it contained some great Music and I waited four years from the release of Madonna's second most recent album now to the release of MDNA, to hear it.  The album I was referring to when I said that was Hard Candy and it was Madonna's eleventh.  That was a great album as well. All of Madonna's albums are good but I am completely biased as one of her biggest fans!

Madonna: Express yourself


The version of Express yourself from the Immaculate collection is a great version.  I highly recommend it as it is completely different from the Studio album version.  That version can be found on Madonna's fourth Studio album entitled Like a prayer but I am here to talk about the Immaculate collection version which has very modern Electronic sounds in it, even as far as 2013 goes; relinquishing the brass and trumpet sound of the original version found on the album Like a prayer.

Madonna: Turn up the radio


Turn up the radio was released as the third single from MDNA.  MDNA is Madonna’s twelfth Studio album and it was released on March 26th, 2012.  It’s almost been a year so I feel like bringing it back to life since I over killed it last year.  That was no mistake, I meant to do that.  But since I needed to put it to rest; it’s time for a little Resurrection since Easter Sunday is approaching and the one year anniversary of this album (MDNA).

Madonna: The power of Good-bye


The power of Good-bye was released as the third single from the album Ray of light in the United States.  There was another single released preceding the release of The power of Good-bye internationally but I tend to view those singles as unofficial released because they often do not sell well considering the importance of the American market when it comes to record sales.  Of course that is changing with the onslaught of Islam and their desire to destroy America and what it stands for.  But I have faith in God to prevent something like that from happening.

T.I. featuring Meek Mill: G season


G season is a wild track. I don't recommend it for the faint of heart, in fact I don't recommend it to just anyone, but I think it's great. It's very explicit and it's racist as well if you take it the wrong way.  It features Meek Mill who I have a hard time pronouncing his name as he refers to himself as Meek Millie in the song.  However I think that when all is said and done, G season is one of the most creative tracks on the album.  That album is Trouble Man: Heavy is the Head and it's a great one.

Wiz Khalifa: Work hard, Play hard


The Music video for Work hard, Play hard is an amazing video.  I highly recommend it.  It can be found on Wiz Khalifa’s record label’s YouTube channel entitled AtlanticVideos.  It’s a great channel and I highly recommend that channel as well, for other reasons than just Wiz Khalifa’s videos.

T.I. featuring A$AP Rocky: Wildside


Wildside is a pretty good track. It features A$AP Rocky, who I am not completely familiar with but he isn't that interesting anyway even though he just dropped an album. He doesn't appeal to me like T.I. does but no one does really in the Hip hop community. However Wiz Khalifa comes pretty close even though I could do with a little less tattoo crap.

Mariah Carey featuring T-pain: Migrate


Migrate featuring T-pain is a great song.  Although not released as an official single, it was released as a promotional single of sorts when the album on which it is from debuted.  That album was E=MC^2 and was Mariah Carey’s eleventh Studio album.  I highly recommend that album and the first track included on it aforementioned above, Migrate featuring T-pain.

Wiz Khalifa featuring Cam’ron: The bluff


The bluff is a great song.  Supposedly being released as the third official single from o.n.i.f.c. there has been a Music video filmed for it already.  This song features Cam’ron who I am not completely familiar with but his part seems pretty good.  o.n.i.f.c. serves as Wiz Khalifa’s fourth Studio album although only his second if you take into account his current label which serves as his official signing.

Wiz Khalifa featuring Courtney Noelle: Got everything


Courtney Noelle is not a very good singer.  I thought that Got everything would be a good song since I often find myself running into it given its position on o.n.i.f.c.  It follows Work hard, Play hard and you would think it would be a stellar song considering the caliber of Work hard, Play hard.  But it isn’t.  I think I will be concentrating on the rest of the tracks on this album given then number of them.

Wiz Khalifa featuring Snoop Dogg, Juicy J & T-Pain: Black and Yellow (G-mix)


Once again I was watching the Music video to the G-mix of Black and Yellow.  It’s literally one of my favorite videos of all-time now.  Featuring among others T-pain and Snoop Doog.  T-pain is seriously one of the best rappers I have ever heard.  I first heard of him through Mariah Carey’s music and I haven’t turned back since even going so far as to download a single song from him, albeit not that great.

Ke$ha: Die young


Die young was released relatively one year and one half following the release of Ke$ha's preceding single.  That single was entitled Blow and I know – I – was dying for another release immediately after, not thinking I would have to wait that length of time. However; it was worth the wait even though I became very tired of waiting and lost interest in Ke$ha because of the wait. Die young has reignited my desire for her though and as she says, she wanted to reinvent Pop music and my belief is that she has done so.

Ke$ha: C’mon


C'mon was released as the second single from Ke$ha's second Studio album entitled Warrior.  I watched the Music video to that single the other night for the first time on Ke$ha's official YouTube channel entitled keshaVEVO. That channel is a great channel and I highly recommend it, having been a subscriber for quite a while now. It's jammed pack with favorite videos of mine such as We r who We r and Blow to name a few.
