Glee - Rolling In The Deep

I just watched Rachel and Jesse from Glee sing Rolling In The Deep by Adele. It was simply mesmerizing. Rachel began the song, but then Jesse interrupted her and finished the verse. They both came in at the chorus and sang harmonies. Plus the whole song was done a cappella with some random kids singing the background part. It was so good. This was the best video I could find of it.

Born This Way (Day 2)

Okay. So it’s been out a full day. It was released. Then it went #1 on iTunes in 3 hours (and broke that record by 2 hours). Then it went #1 on iTunes in 22 countries (and broke that record by 8 countries). Then it was played 1838 times total in one day on the radio (and broke that record - by 1200 spins). Then it was Gaga’s #3 top selling song EVER.

Love it or hate it, you can’t deny those stats.

I love it. At first I was underwhelmed, mainly because with all that hype, no matter what was produced, wouldn’t have been able to live up to any expectations I had. It delivers exactly what she said it would: an unapologetically gay song. Which I appreciate. It’s no Bad Romance. But then again, it’s no Just Dance, either. It’s in a completely different direction than the previous albums, which I can appreciate. However, with it being released at 6am, it was hard for me to jam when I was still half asleep. Like I said, I’ll be giving it the TRUE test tonight, with a drink in hand and a cute outfit on… we’ll see how it fares at the bar/club.

As a song itself, it’s groundbreaking. There, I said it. It goes there. It says things that aren’t said. Every top artist has a platform and a reach. Most use their reach to sing the formula (drinks, bars, girls, clubs, pop a glock, etc.). Gaga has used her reach to spread the idea of individuality SINCE BIRTH as an idea to the world. Think about that. Not many artists have the balls to say such a message that could flop so hard and be attacked so easily by religious/conservative groups. Imagine that one gay who is in the middle of Podunk, Nowhere, USA (or any country at this point) who thinks they’re alone, but hears this song, and is inspired by it. THAT’S POWERFUL. And that’s using your reach for good.

But a lot of gays aren’t seeing the bigger picture. They may feel like Gaga is capitalizing on them. Why would ANY mainstream artist (who is at the top of their game) choose to capitalize on 1/10 of the population? Typical homosexual mindset, the world is about us - which it is, but still… ;)

It’s gotten a lot of flack for sounding like other songs. I will redirect you to the special entitled, “Everything is a Remix” - so that you can realize just how much influence is going around in the music business (Hint: nobody is immune). Everybody says it sounds like Express Yourself… but if you loved Express Yourself, and Born This Way sounds like Express Yourself… but you don’t like Born This Way… uhhh. Besides, I listened to Express Yourself (for the first time, actually) to see if the rumors were true… didn’t hear it - at all. Ohh well.

It also has gotten flack for being worse than “Hold It Against Me” - which, of course I disagree with, because a year from now, HIAM will be gone (circa Gimme More) while BTW will still be spun (circa Just Dance). As a lot of you know, I don’t enjoy Britney. I enjoy her singles, but those have nothing to do with her. Point me toward a single Britney album that is AMAZING from start to finish. Exactly. She puts only a few singles into each low-produced album to last her until the next album. Now go listen to The Fame/The Fame Monster. Time will show a victor, and I’m confident in Gaga (per usual).

I don’t care what other people think of Gaga’s new song. Personally, the less people who enjoy her, the closer I get to the front of the concert. It just bugs me that people resent her or her new song because that’s the new thing to do. If you’re going to do that, I expect to NOT see you on the dance-floor when it comes on. I expect to see you NOT enjoy it when she plays it at the concert (that you WILL be attending). Don’t hate it online if you’re going to love it in real life.

Just my two cents… what are your thoughts?

I'd lie by Taylor Swift

I don’t think that passenger seat

Has ever looked this good to me

He tells me about his night 

And I count the colors in his eyes



He’ll never fall in love

He swears, as he runs his fingers through his hair

I’m laughing ‘cause I hope he’s wrong

And I don’t think it ever crossed his mind

He tells a joke, I fake a smile 

That I know all his favorite songs



And I could tell you

His favorite color’s green

He loves to argue

Born on the seventeenth

His sister’s beautiful

He has his father’s eyes

And if you ask me if I love him

I’d lie



He looks around the room

Innocently overlooks the truth

Shouldn’t a light go on

Doesn’t he know that I’ve had him memorized for so long

And he sees everything black and white

Never let nobody see him cry

I don’t let nobody see me wishin’ he was mine



I could tell you

His favorite color’s green

He loves to argue

Born on the seventeenth

His sister’s beautiful

He has his father’s eyes

And if you ask me if I love him

I’d lie



He stands there, then walks away

My God, if I could only say

I’m holding every breath for you



He’d never tell you

But he can play guitar

I think he can see through everything but my heart

First thought when I wake up is

My God, he’s beautiful

So I put on my make-up

And pray for a miracle



Yes, I could tell you

His favorite color’s green

And he loves to argue

Oh, and it kills me

His sister’s beautiful

He has his father’s eyes

And if you ask me if I love him…

if you ask me if I love him…

I’d lie

I LOVEEE This pic!!!

There's more to Paramore than Hayley Williams

And it pisses me off that she’s the one that gets all the attention ALL the time. They’re a band. Not a solo artist.

FUCK!!!
