Her name means angel of the sun in French.   I think she is divine.  Beautiful and talented. 

 

This latest song is so visually and audibly appealing, I love it. Her new album drops November 27.

She's come a long long way from Come Mr. DJing on Pon De Replay...

As much fun as those Rihanna days were, I think she's really doing her fans and beyond a service by singing deeper music and emotion on her latest album..  Diamonds got stuck in my head pretty quickly..

This one might just stay.

Mon, 15 Oct 2012 11:19:00 -0700 Xfactor 2012 Favorite http://giveandgo.posterous.com/xfactor-2012-favorite http://giveandgo.posterous.com/xfactor-2012-favorite

I know there is just too much talent to choose from.  I wish they'd pick all of them.  But then it wouldn't be a competition.  For the record, I auditioned for Xfactor a couple years ago and it was an amazing, but nerve-wracking experience but I wouldn't have traded it.  It was definitely a You Only Live Once or as Alpha would joke You Only Die Once (YODO??!) thing and I have nothing but respect for all human beings who decide they would put themselves in front of other people to critique them and decide if they're the ONE they are looking for.

Anyway, Carly is the one. 

If you haven't listened to her, this song brimmed me up with emotion and filled my eyes with tears.  It made me believe. How can someone who is only 13 years old evoke so much feeling in a song? I'm speechless. :Amazed:

 

And don't you know that I Would want to put someone on repeat that would make me want to believe in something I would want so bad? Lyrics// This is more than a typical kinda thing Felt the jones in my bones when you were touching me Oh, oh Didn't want to take it slow In a daze, going crazed, I can barely think You're replaying in my brain, find it hard to sleep Oh, oh Waiting for my phone to blow Uh, oh, yup Now I'm here in a sticky situation Got a little trouble, yup, and now I'm pacing Five minutes, ten minutes, now it's been an hour Don't wanna think too hard, but I'm sour Oh, oh I can't seem to let you go See I've been waiting all day For you to call me, baby So let's get up, let's get on it Don't you leave me brokenhearted tonight Broken Hearted - Karmin //

I love the concept of this show better than the other shows.  My heart goes out to these people, you think it's easy they just go up and sing and it's done, and it's not.  There's a LOT of waiting involved, it's a long and nerve-wracking process.  But I love the end result!

So far my favorite singers:

Cheering you guys on!

Tue, 25 Sep 2012 09:43:00 -0700 Gangnam Style http://giveandgo.posterous.com/gangnam-style http://giveandgo.posterous.com/gangnam-style

If you haven't heard about the Gangnam Style, what prehistoric rock have you been living under?

I could show you the video that you've probably watched a million times, the song you've probably heard on the radio but don't quite know the words to, the newstory of the kids who got fired for making their own video to it, the man behind the song and dance that you're going to see for quite some time doing random cameos at award shows and talk shows across the nation...but instead I choose to show you my favorite Gangnam related video of the moment.

Check out this mom and son duo dancing to the Gangnam style on Ellen

Some older music radiates from the heart. I watch a lot of today's music shows like the Voice and X-factor, and though I am highly entertained by the youth of today, nothing can compete with some of these older original vocals. Some days are days I like to leave my headphones in. Don't leave me.

Tue, 11 Sep 2012 22:19:00 -0700 The Pop Phenomenon http://giveandgo.posterous.com/the-pop-phenomenon http://giveandgo.posterous.com/the-pop-phenomenon

Earlier this year Carly Rae taught us what it meant for boys to call us maybe...

and now Taylor Swift anthemizes a song to tell those heartbreakers that we aren't getting back together. 

Girls ages 12-100, why wouldn't you like to sing along to this catchy tune?  haha  I easily fall victim to these pop songs as they tap into my inner teenybopper.

I particularly love the unidentifiable black creatures featured in this video. How oddly soothing.

Could this be my favorite venue in Los Angeles?  It ranks high on my list.  Acoustics like this sound GORGEOUS amidst the silent breeze.

Fiona Apple is back. Music is always dependent on my mood. I'm in the mood right now for something a little calmer and intricate.

Sat, 11 Feb 2012 18:42:00 -0800 How Will I Know - Whitney Houston http://giveandgo.posterous.com/how-will-i-know-whitney-houston http://giveandgo.posterous.com/how-will-i-know-whitney-houston

I took a brief nap tonight and my phone blew up with news that Whitney Houston had passed away.  I'm saddened.  I always say no one can match her voice.  No one.  Naturally so powerful, so crisp, so beautiful.  This is my all time favorite Whitney song.  Some people are talented in so many other ways, as dancers, as performers, etc.. but for me, her VOICE alone was of a magnitude unparalleled. R.I.P. Whitney.  Thanks for showing me it's OK to sing beyond the comfort of my own shower.
