Can we bring back music from the 90s?

So it all kinda started with SWV  last week. I've gone into a 90s R&B music craze. I mean when you compare the music of today to the music then, it's great because people actually used to sing. Music was based on talent. And the songs, had more groove and soul to them.

Wells, I got this bright idea, to just talk about my favorite artists from the 90s, basically whatever I want to say about them. I would've start with SWV, but in my 90s crazed I came across, one of the greatest girls groups of the 90s:      
EN VOGUE. so this first post will be about them.

A lil' history 
(yes my main source is wikipedia, shoot me)

They were formed through auditions in 1988, which is surprising you would assume they were related,  bestest friends, or somethin like all the other girl groups but they were not. The two guys (Denzil Foster and Thomas McElroy) wanted to recreate girl groups from the 50s/60s, originally it was supposed to be a trio, but one of the girls was so great or something [lies, lies, lies].

But really the great thing about this group is that they all can sing lead, which provided for some really great harmonies, melodies in their songs. The original members of the group were Terry Ellis, Cindy Herron, Maxine Jones, and Dawn Robinson. Basically after one of their biggest song Don't Let Go Dawn left the group for contract issues. That was in 1996, since then they have worked as trio and quartet some time, because Maxine left to focus on her family, but then she came back. The replacement was this lady Rhona Bennett who you might have seen on the Jamie Foxx Show, the one that sang with Jamie and basically almost broke him and fancy up.

Anyhoo, He wasn't until recently that all four the original member were back together 2005, 2008 whichever reunion you want to count as legit. They are currently working on an album to be released this year, but Dawn won't be on it (WTF dawn?).

Music, youtube style.

Here's some videos, all strangley involving music, some good, some bad. Enjoy!

1. Shardinay - Oh Boy - Music Video



I had this one under my favorties for awhile, but ya know I've been busy lately (translation: i ain't been doing nothing). Anywayz this is one of those BAD ones. This one just starts off bad and gets no better. And she's the "UK female singing sensation". Sensation, yeah,  I get this terrible sensation in my ears.


2. Bad Crack



From the title, I first thought this had to do with the lethal white stuff, but then you see the snapshot of a choir singing and I was like whaa. But once you hear it all make sense. I admit I've watched this about 5 times, and everytime I laughed, and cried. It's so horrible. What makes it so bad is she continues to sing. no! No! NO! NO!. I'm gonna come back to video though when I'm feeling blue and just laugh, laugh laugh (cuz you know he who laugh last, laugh last, laugh first, laugh last).

3. Jazmine Sullivan - Holding you down (going in circles)



This is one of the GOOD. Jazmnine's new single off her upcoming album, which I'll probably buy, cuz I loved the first one. I like the homage in the beginning to Mary J. Blige, cuz people say she sounds like her, I always hear Kim Burrell though, so I don't know about that. But it's catchy definitely.

4. OMG Rude Boy (Cover)



I loved this cover! The way the two songs were mixed was bomb, I kinda forgot it was two different songs. But I love it when white people sound like black people, and can do all the vocal acrobatics, and  have the soul. It's amazing to hear! Though, I can do without the guy cuz the girls kill it! I like the blonde's voice more than the brunette though. It has like a little twang to it, but still soulful.


That's all.
PEACE & CHICKEN GREASE

Youtube Mania.

It WILL NEVER END.
Ever. 
enjoy!!!!

1. glee- bust your windows (guy version) 



actually it's just Amber's  voice just taken down a few keys, so it sounds like a man. pretty funny...
but pretty kool. I did a similar thing with Lauryn Hill and that other girl's (Tanya) version of "His Eye is on the Sparrow" on my computer....it's really kool....anywayz off topic...

2. Richard Smallwood & Vision -Feast of the Lord/At the Table



song was in my head the other day. finally found it (thanks Google!). speaking of Richard Smallwood him & Vision, Fred Hammond, Byron Cage, Hezekiah Walker, and others Gospel Fest 2010. June 5 and 6th. more info  here.

3. It's so Cold in the D (cover)- Durand Bernarr



this dude is good!. I was thinking about doing a cover of this song (as a joke), might still do it idk. but found this in my survey of covers of the song, and this boy kilt it with all dem runs......amazing..

4. Blooper/Outtakes from Dreamgirls



not really Bloopers, don't know why the title says that. but it basically a re-do of the song It's All Over (my FAV)...but it quite hilarious......

5. Hilarious Awesome Dance 



how good the dancing was in the video was so unexpected I had to post it here. but um what are powder puff cheerleaders?....

6. Anita Baker



has nothing do with Anita Baker. But it's like a sneak peek of Boondock's new episodes. Apparently this will be the final season. (SADNESS, but what can ya do? they forever cancelling my fav shows.......btw... raising the bar cancelled. SADNESS AGAIN...yet I digress)

that tis all.
hope you laughed, cried, farted, sneezed, smiled, and in general just enjoy yourself with these videos
as is my hope.....

PEACE & CHICKEN GREASE!!

Hey, hey, hey, hey

What's up, world? (omg! I'm talking to the world right now)
here's updation on things...

Dreamgirls on Live and on Stage

WAS AMAZING! yes! I loved it.
Effie was played by some lady who was in the lion king musical Moya Angela (i looked these up after the fact)
Deena by some girl from American Idol  Syesha Mercado
Curtis played by Chaz something or another......Chaz Lamar Shepherd

but the best character (I don't know if it was the way it was written or just his portrayal) was Jimmy (Eddie Murphy's character) played by some guy Chester Gregory . He was so hilarious, but he could actually sing, like really, as could everyone in the musical though, but he was basically star (after Effie of course).

I found this ten times better than movie, like there's things you can do in a live production that you just can't do in a movie because of time, money, and general presence of a tv. and there were so many things that I never got in the movie that totally made sense in the musical (weird).

speaking of the term musical, this was an actually MUSICAL. there were very few actual lines. and even things they could have probably said was sung. and I liked it all!.
I kinda want to see it again.....but that requires money (and ME probably going by myself...cuz people are lames)

k3 STRIKE UPDATION

apparently the teachers and the district have come to a tenative agreement, they will vote tomorrow on whether it will become the new contract. if so, class will began again on Monday (i'm so jealous a whole week off of school.)

Top 4 Reasons Why you don't scare black people




so basically you gon get "KNOCKED THE F#$% OUT!" as Smokey would say.

(Let this be a warning to anyone trying ot scare me, I am a black person and will therefore probably react in a similar fashion to those black people in the above video )

alright that's it....
Have a great day/weekend/week/month/year (whenever is the next time I update or you happen to read my blog again)

PEACE & CHICKEN GREASE!!!!

GLEE

(hey I know this image is old, but it works and I didn't feel like looking for another one)

is so freaking kool and awesome! Can't wait untill the new episodes. A couple of days ago, I got all caught up with episodes ( being a college student definitely limits my amount of TV watching)

and basically glee, the story lines are kool, and dramatic and stuff with crazy love triangle, squares, but I must admit
I REALLY REALLY like the singing. I mean without the singing the show would just be about a glee club (boring...)....

And the girl that plays the token black person, Mercedes, (Amber Riley) can blow,
like pretty much at the end of the episodes I was just like "This chick is sick!" like she needs to
get her own thing going on so I listen to it, seriously.

And probably if it wasn't for her I probably wouldn't watch the show either, or at least to
me the singing would not be as good. I mean the Jewish girl is pretty good, and the guy in the wheelchair is suprisingly good (sorry can't remember anyone's names), everyone else is mediocre to me.

But yeha a few songs/videos where Amber was killin'

"Lean on Me"


"Bust Your Windows"
(think this is a repost, whatevs)


"Proud Mary"


(FYI: she does do (??) her own thing apparently)

"Sweet Thang"




that's it!
PEACE & CHICKEN GREASE!!

Instead of Studying for my midterm

I've found it a must-updation about this music jewel (it's my precious) I found.............
I may straight listen to this chick for 2 weeks. She's sick, in many ways unimaginable.....
don't know who I'm talking about?

I'm talking about Ledisi

If you like neo soul or  R&B seriously you should love her. She's definitely alot more jazzy, but she's
one of the few people whose every song I'm just like AMAZING. Please just go to imeem and type in Ledisi, and hit play or something......

Like usually when I'm studying, which I was, I try to play Neo-Soul music, it calms me down when I thinking about all this crazy numbers stuff, but this woman does some crazy things with her voice: the harmonies, the rythm, i mean her scatting, her expressitivity (??) craz,. That i just couldn't concentrate on my studies w/o being like "wait that lick/run was so sick!"

Like I heard of her before, but I never really looked into any of her music, really mad I hadn't earlier.
Like seriously she is a music jewel that has just been added to my favorite music list and will be continually on repeat for Lord knows how long.

Yeah just wanted to share this with you, cuz I can!

PEACE & CHICKEN GREASE!

Random-oscities (check, check, check it out)

song of the day: Keep On Praisin' by Fred Hammond

=============================================

SUPER bb updation

Eviction

Ronnie was evicted! (HAHAHA). And Jeff got the Coupe D'ete (yes.) things seem to be going my way..or more so the way I wanted them to go. Chima won HOH, which is bad for Russell cuz him and Chima got into a big argument (explosive) about he said, she said stuff (so stupid, but great entertainment).

I have to say this must be the season of "let's totally bash people on eviction night". First week I think Chima went at ol' dude. Banana suit guy went at Ronnie & Jessie. And now Ronnie attacked Michele, can't remember the exact quote, but he basically said she was like the worst person he ever met (whoa).


HOH Nominations.

Chima is HOH, and I said that was bad for Russell and it was. She nominated Russell and Lydia (Who's still trying to go after Jessie romantically(??) after he voted to evict her? stupid). But the thing about this if Russell doesn't get off the block, Jeff might use the Coup D'ete to put up Natalie or Jessie (which would be awesome), I think he's gonna use it no matter what (i kno I would).

Oh yeha, Chima revealed some crazy stuff, apparently like 10 years ago, she was raped (yes) by a serial killer. She was totally calm with talking about, which gave me like upmost respect for her. She also described how she fought back, and as a result had to get surgery on her face. so that crazy, but it's good she's getting her story out there.

===============================================

Layout

Once again, I'm thinking about changing my layout (and maybe even the title, address of this blog). i mean even create another one, don't know yet. But of course you'll know, if something changes. just a warning.

================================================

I'm a Sagittarius

Okay so I don't believe in horscopes or tarot cards or anything like that.
But randomly one late night, Bored outta my mind, went to bored.com, found this Astrological Birth Report thingy. and suprsingly some things were true (and of course some weren't). but it was just interesting, how somethings can be spot dead on just based on my Date & time of birthday, & based on some astrological system.

For example, these are my "Traits":

Optimistic, Freedom-Loving, Jovial, Good-Humored, Honest, Straightforward, Intellectual and Philosophical

my "Dark Traits":

Blindly Optimistic, Careless, Irresponsible, Superficial, Tactless and Restless

i mean traits are just about dead on... dark traits not really sure.....but nevertheless....kool....

Youtube Mania: Gospelized Version (part 2)

Had this saved for awhile, but was kinda lazy to post it and find videos....
but listening to certain songs, I had to find videos for it....
anyways check 'em out!


Mississippi Mass Choir
Jesus Paid it all....the beginning(the first two minutes) of this song is pretty amazing....
tried to find video, couldn't find it, but check out the song on imeem....
AND check out this substitute video, also from Mississippi Mass Choir
JOY
i think the dude (James Moore) leading the one is the same guy who leads Jesus Paid it all...



*Not to be funny or anything...Moore does not look how he sounds....that's a good thing....*

Kirk Franklin

Savior More Than Life to Me



(we kiss thy presence in the temple....whaa Kirk?)

Don't take you're joy away



(sing Tamela!)

Again it's nice to see this videos, that I only heard for so much of my childhood. It's funny though cuz you imagine people to look so different...but hey I think it's just a blessing from God....yeha..

=======================
so I'm gonna be singing in my church's Family & Friends Choir, here's a few songs we're are singing.....

My Name is Victory
Jonathan Nelson & Purpose



(i love the little twangs on this song...you probably don't know what I'm talking about specifically but...quite amazing song...btw...saw him live)


Souled Out
Hezekiah Walker



("my mind is made up...no room no vacancies...I'm all filled up" wonderful lyrics)

It Ain't Over
Maurette Brown-Clark



(This song is amazing, and by far the hardest song we're singing....check out the "No, no, no!" when the hook comes around the 3rd time....can you say high?)

There's like 4 more, but didn't feel like looking them all up.....

PEACE & CHICKEN GREASE!!

Interesting Thingys...

check 'em out....
=================================

The Money Wallet

This is so kool, kinda wanna get me one. I just hope it doesn't cost a hundred dollars to get one of this...I always found it quite ironic that you have to spend money in order to get something that you put money in. Shouldn't wallet be free? Makes sense to me...
==============================================================

Glee's Busting Your Windows

Mercedes (actress Amber Riley) from Glee, sings the Jazmine Sullivan's car-bashing hit "Bust Your Windows"
ahhh, makes me excited about this show...There's so much buzz around, this'll defintely be a hit show....
check out the video.


=================================================================

BB Updation

Pretty good episode...okay I wanted to do a thing about how I feel about each person & thier stance in the competition, but that's too long...so here's a shortened version of that:

• Ronnie: Officially do not like him. Please send him home next week, he's just so happy he's still here, like he did it....please.....I don't like his attitude, plus he like backstabbed everyone in the house...so he should go...
• Lydia: This (I want to say the b-word) girl is WEIRD. She watches Jessie's while he's sleep. Then she wore this like mustache thingy, I didn't get it. I think the BB house is making her crazy, like coo coo(idk).
• Casey: Had to wear a banana suit this week cuz of the POV competition, pretty funny. He also went home today. Do NOT like that! But he cracked me up at the live eviction. He called out Ronnie & Jessie, too funny! He said Jessie has the IQ of "ironically, a banana". Just shows you teacher get no respect!
  
• Jeff: I'm now putting my money on him to win. He's a person I would like to see win, he would be like the underdog, come back and beat Jessie, Natalie and Ronnie.
  

Also in the episode, the cliques were dissolved, which is going to be really interesting, people really have no ties together, you know they can't really depend on other people. But they also brought in another thing of power: Coup D'etat (think I spelled that right), anywayz in the next 2 week on the day of eviction, they can change the nominees (1 or both), but they have to like keep it a secret till they use it. Also America gets to vote for who gets it. I'm voting for Jeff.

Don't know who won HOH cuz it one of those long endurance ones, but I'm gonna cheat and look it up now. And the winner is: No ONE! Russell & Jeff are battling it out (GO JEFF!)
I'll update about who wins later....

*Update: Russell won! Jeff & him came on an agreement for Jeff & Jordan to be safe. I don't know if Russell will keep it, but he might since, the cliques are finished. This is even a better time to vote for Jeff for the Coup d'etat....*


=============================================================

Housewives of Atlanta = DRAMA!

I am officially a fan of this show now. It's so crazy! NeNe is a mess, Sheree is a mess. They all a mess! It's such hilarious-ness. Today, the new season premiered. And thanks to Comcast Digital Cable, we have Bravo so I can watch it!....ha...

(a pic of them last season)

Okay at end of today's episode Sheree totally got into it with the party planner, like crazy, like they was about to fight, ya'll. I must say that it's like alot of uncessary drama, it seems. It's alot of he say, she say, which is stupid to base "friendships" on....
but of course I'm going to tune in every Thursday, cuz I have nothing else betta to do with my summer, and it's drama filled & quite hilarious....hahaha

==========================================================

other than that I'm chillin,
PEACE & CHICKEN GREASE!!

Youtube Mania: Numero 123456789000000000000

hey another round of this....
watch 'em.....

1. "DON'T TRUST ME" : SARAH PALIN

this vid is pretty funny. Sarah Palin is pretty funny. I just like the chorus of this song...plus Shane Dawson is hilarious.



2. LANGUAGE PROBLEMS!

I have general communication problems, forget Language Problems, but I do have moments like why did I say that? that doesn't even make sense! yeha watch this vlog.



3. NeYo / Ne Yo crying in Manchester. Concert Postponed and Crow

This was just generally weird, I though maybe he was crying cause of song he was singing...nope...um crying cuz he couldn't perform or something its just really weird. To me, if you're gonna cry, can you cry offstage? cuz that was just awkward.



4.Praise & Adoration sings "Spiritual Medley"

I did find a video of it (YEHA!). the Spiritual Medley by Sounds of Blackness. not the original group butthey did a pretty good job. I just felt like this song would be really hard to perform live, probably cuz I have exactly gotten the medley/notes down yet. so it was kool to see someone perform it...



5. Chris Browns REAl apology

okay hilarious. that's all I have too say. I was laughing hard....almost on the floor.



6. The Soup: MJ Montage Mania

This was my problem with the whole Michael Jackson thing. Like people talking about stupid shit. Like seriously you have nothing else to do with your life. I do admit this was pretty funny.....




alright that it.
PEACE & CHICKEN GREASE!!

Tube Mania

So this is gonna be a long list...
I think I just might split them into two parts
yes I will....
Check out the vids
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>><<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< 1.In Living Color Parody of Crystal Waters- Gypsy Woman

so Kim Wayans (from the famous Wayans family) does a parody of this song
really funny I think she did a good job with parody Crystal Water. Love it! Watch it!


2. Easy Step

I found these random people , called Smosh, its like two guys who do random skit type thingys
pretty funny...check this one out its about a new product called Easy Step. So funny....



3. License Test



Here's another video from them. Can you tell me why the mom and the driver license person is the same person (or aren't they, i don't know). Really stupid ending tho.... oh this is what I was gonna say...I can totally relate to this.....but I won't discuss that here...maybe later...probably not tho.

4. Joe Jonas Dances to Single Ladies

so the only reason I watched this was because it was on my homepage (iGoogle). Otherwise, I don't really give a crap but the Jonas Brothers. This is seemingly hilarious tho. I'm really mad he wore the leotard and the heels. whatev. watch it



5. Lady Gaga - Poker Face - Parody ("Outer Space")

really liked this! probably because I like Lady Gaga. anywayz It would totally make sense if she was from Outer Space. This lady looks alot like Lady Gaga too, I wonder if it actually is Lady Gaga(???). But the singing is really bad so i think the answer is no...yeah


[ totally not doing another post of this so its just gonna be alot of videos, get over it]
6. single ladies music video



this is miranda. meet miranda. really funny. so bad. I think this girl does it on purpose...you be the judge though. btw, did you notice her lipstick, really funny. and why does she have pants on with the leotard. I think this is where Joe Jonas got his dance moves from....

7. The Portobello Mushroom Burger

so all the big 'celeb' people on youtube, have come out with commercials for carl's jr. this one i found pretty hilarious. it was really funny...check out the other's if you want.



8. YOUTUBE SELLS OUT TO CARLS JR

okay...so this guy went against all the Carl's Jr. commercials. I found it pretty funny. The guy seriously sounds like a black woman....it was really funny to me though....[ by now you should realize to me all these videos are funny, that's how i feel about everything in my life tho soo]

(although i dont really don't like that word that much to use it in a daily phrase)
maybe i will...(probably not)

while at home, i watched the movie Obsessed

on bootleg...(yeha i did it)
i thought beyonce did a pretty good job, she's starting to come into her own i guess,
the movie actually made me sorta mad, but it did a good job. it was very predictable, but expected.

i also watched another movie today (whoa this totally made became a movie rambling)
called Watermelon Heist,

i saw it on Hulu (<---find it here), people thought it was really racist and what not,but i thought it was pretty funny....you should watch it, tell me what you think...

also couple days ago
I watched the pilot episode of a new Fox show that will air in the Fall,
Glee

i thought it was pretty interesting. the singing was great, and i see the potential for a great show. will definitely be checking upon this show come the fall. Should be interestin

what else can i update about? hmmmm....yeah this gonna be a long post (maybe)...

so this summer what am i gonna do?
im not sure.....really not.....i have this problem ever summer....

But then she started saying words (can i say i thought she was just gonna ooo the whole song) and it then went downhill...could not watch the rest of that....still..so...bad... AND i'm mad that it says Celebrity in the title...who the fuck is you?.....

2. Jones Good Ass BBQ & Foot Massage



this is just really funny...from beginning to end........i mean its a good idea...who doesn't want their feet massaged while you eating Good Ass BBQ... too bad this'll probably never exist...
( btw i'm currently singing "Jones BBQ & Foot Massage"..over and over...)

3. Its so cold in the D the movie




okay so never seen this Hannibal movie ( def heard of it though), but umm i still found this really hilarious......so watch it...

solange came to NU
i think her performance was life changing,

if beyonce had came out though....
but you know stuff happens
(like i'm very sure she was on her way, probably got stuck in traffic)

but i gained a deep respect for her
and her artistry (she can sing...like for real) ...she gave her all in that performance
even tho the ticket only cost 5 dollars.....
hahahaha

check out this song.. it's my favorite of hers "I Decided"
took some photos from that night....

Other Ramblings....

Sweeney Todd (the movie)

uber disappointing ( uber? yes uber...)... maybe me seeing the
actual musical first wasn't such a good thing...totally ruined any chance of me
liking this movie....
Here's my problems with Sweeney Todd:
1. Singing= bad....i don't know.......i feel like when something is a musical....you shouldn't have
people who just learned how to sing yesterday....jus bad...

2. the murder scenes = gore, way too much over the top , almost to the point of comedy

3. finally, there's like NO opening song nor ending song...........boo!!

anyways i think you should see it anyway.....if you want...
or you good just go on imeem and check out the songs...idk...
i'm just telling you
i really didn't enjoy it...but like i said i saw the musical first
so whatevs
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

and its kinda like destroyed=boo boo. No!, that's why its funny....
hahaha
i'm done...

So this one time I got stuck on an elevator...

well actually it was this past weekend
on saturday about midnight...i think.....
let's just say circa midnight-ish....

me and some friends...got stuck on an elevator...
it was a very nice elevator tho suprising...very sleek, shiny, and black......
we were goin to the 7th floor, lucky eh, and some how some way
got stuck b/t the 6th and the 7thfloors...i mean it happens right?

well twenty minutes passed until we got off, not bad right........
but alot happened in that time........
crying, laughing, singing (old negro spirituals, gospel, random, and etc), story telling, playing of Big Booty (with people outside the elevator also mind you, amazing), and also just totally standing in silence just waiting for the time when we would reach land (actually the floor)......

very exciting experience though......my first time actually being stuck on an elevator.......wasn't scared at all though......it was fun....i was just waiting for someone to have a baby...cuz that always happens on tv....but thanks goodness no one was pregnant....hahahaha

it did remind me though of this video i saw entitled "Holy Elevator", where these people sing a song totally about the holy elevator, asking Jesus to take them higher on the elevator check out it....kinda hilarious....

but ummm
RANDOM PICTURE TIME!!!
(all the children scream)

(huge pile of bananas....mmmm)

aight geezy(ies)
Peace & Chicken Grease
