The Imperfect Angel vs Bagpipes From Baghdad

2009-07-01T05:25:00.000-07:00

This is not your everyday Mimi look. From a human butterfly to an Eminem wannabe. Looks like Mariah Carey is having fun in her ongoing feud with Eminem, although no official statements, its obvious that she's talking about the rapper. What happened was MC dressed as the controversial rapper while filming her new video "Obsessed" in New York...

MC is finally responding to lyrics from Eminem's recent album Relapse, on which the controversial rapper name drops Carey in the track "Bagpipes From Baghdad."

Mariah's new album Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel will be released on August 25, 2009.

I am back........

CD REVIEW: I Am… Sasha Fierce

2008-12-09T04:58:00.001-08:00

I Am… Sasha Fierce, familiar with the name? Hmmm.. let me give you other clues, Mimi a.k.a Mariah Carey, Madge a.k.a Madonna, Baby Jane a.k.a Christina Aguilera and now another ladywill be added on the list. Beyonce Knowles is Sasha Fierce.

This is the singer's third studio album and was released on November 18, 2008. The reason behind this album's title was explained by a statement released through Beyonce's official website. In the said statement, Beyonce manifested that:

"I am in a different place right now and I wanted to people to see the many sides of me. The music is upbeat for the dance, fun side and it is reflective, passionate and serious for the personal side. I hav taken risks here. I am not afraid and my music will explain it all. There is no label or tag on my sound. It's me and I am so excited to share it with the world on November 18."

From this statement, it showed Beyonce's control over her music, life and her total person.

But who is Sasha Fierce? Its simply Beyonce's alter-ego when she performs on the stage. It's her other side - agressive, playful and naughty.

Beyonce also explained in an interview the two sides of her album. Side A - Mainstream and Side B - Traditional R&B and this is probably the reason why she released two singles at the same time. "If I Were a Boy" and "Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)". The two singles are currently #3 and #1 at the Billboard Hot 100 respectively.

I Am… Sasha Fierce is out now, if you're a Beyonce fan, you can buy the album at your favorite record bar.

GAMER's CORNER: "The Bite Fight"

2008-12-03T15:25:00.000-08:00

Hey Guys!

For those of you who can play online games for the whole day, I have something to recommend. I found this online game because of the Twiligh fever. The game is called "The Bite Fight". This is not actually a new game, in fact, it has been there and being played years back.

Legend and history says that there was really struggle between Vampires and Werewolves. In fact that was also mentioned in the Twilight series: Breaking Dawn.

Main goal of the game is to create/build an empire, hunt humans, vampires or werewolves and become the strongest.

According to the game's famous line: "It is your destiny to decide this battle!"

You can check out the game by visiting: http://www.bitefight.org/

CD REVIEW: Circus

2008-12-03T13:28:00.000-08:00

Circus is the sixth studio album of the pop superstar Britney Spears. This is a follow-up to Blackout, her comback album that was released October 2007.

Circus sounds more like Blackout but the beats and melodies on each songs are more detailed and radio friendly. Danja and Bloodshy & Avant, Guy Sigsworth, Dr. Luke and Max Martin are some of the producers who colaborated with this project.

Lead single of the album, "Womanizer" went from 98-1 and has added Britney in Billboard Hot 100's history. "Womanizer" is Britney's 2nd song to reach #1 in Hot 100 after "Hit Me Baby, One More Time, thanks for the downloads. The video showcases Britney's signature dance move and many compares the video with her Toxic video.

It was announced on Britney's official website that the second single is Circus, a track produced by Dr. Luke and sounds like a Madonna track.

To promote the album, MTV aired a special documentary called Britney:For the Record that features singer's comeback.

If you are a Britney fan, this is an album that you can add to your collection.

Twilight Sagas: Twilight - Breaking Dawn

2008-12-02T16:55:00.000-08:00

To lionized the Twilight fever, allow me to give you little details about the Stephenie Meyer's Novel that everyone talks about. I know most of us knows the story but lets summarize each book so everyone can relate to the Twilight sagas without reading the whole book.

Twilight

At this time, everyone knows the story because of the film adaptation, the story goes between Bella (girl from Phoenix) and Edward (gorgeous vampire). "Boy meets girl and looks in her eyes" (line from Mariah Carey's song "Love Story") and everything follows. The story shows how love conquers all, that when you love someone it requires acceptance, sacrifice and trust. That's what happened to Bella and Edward, they felt it right away, things that are not possible or not expected, happens, and that's because of great love. I will not go in to details because everyone knows how the story goes.

New Moon

Listen to Avril Lavigne's "My Happy Ending", probably this is what Bella's song during the first few chapter of the book. The story is about losing a great love. In contrast with the first book, the story showcases the emotions and sufferings of a lady who was left by her man. I am referring to Bella who was broken-hearted because of Edward. Again, because of Edward's great love to Bella, he sacrificed his love by saying the he no longer loves her and leaves the town and the story goes on.... One thing that you're going to miss with this book.... Edward.

Eclipse

After dealing with love story, Book III is the "real vampire" story. Here, we can see a mature Bella and Edward. The story deals with more fightings, killings and vampires. The story begins when Bella and Edward leaves their high school lives and moves forward into their college lives. There's also a chapter in Bella's life were she was confused if she loves someone or is it really Edward. But at the end, Bella realizes that spending her life with Edward is more important to her and because of her great love, she decided to be a vampire.

Breaking Dawn

This is the final book of the Twiilight series and it is divided into three perspective. Its a story of a Vampire and a Lady whose love keeps growing and evolving.

The first chapter of the book contains detail of Bella and Edward's marriage: Honeymoon, Pregnancy, Abortion.

The second chapter of the book deals with Bella's pregnancy, motherhood and her child. Bella's life was put in danger when she gave birth to her fist child and to save her life, Edward decided to change Bella into a vampire.

The third and last chapter of the book shows how Bella's adjustment to her vampire life. She was amazed on diferrent things that she cannot do when she was still a human compared to her abilities now that she is a vampire.

The last chapter also deals with Bella and Edward's child - Renesmee . Theres a misconception that half/crossbreed vampires are threat to Vampires world. Why? They believed that crossbreed vampires may spoil vampire's existence to earth.

And as any other fairy tales, Bella, Edward and Renesmee return to their home alive and they live happily ever after.

Hope you likes the summary and it will inspire you to read the whole book. For suggestion or comments, shout out, feel free to post it in Hyro's Corner

Tennessee

2008-12-01T19:04:00.001-08:00

After a disastrous and failure with her last film "Glitter", Mariah Carey is receiving great reviews from her critics on her new film "Tennessee" produced by Lee Daniels. The movie was supposedly release in December 19, 2008 but pushed back and will be shown in March 2009 instead.

The story goes around with two brothers who went to New Mexico to find their estranged father and co-incidentally met Mariah (Krystal), whose a aspiring singer not emancipated and being controlled by her husband which is in contrast with her real life.

Mariah co-wrote a song called "Right to Dream" with country singer "Willie Nelson" as the official soundtrack of the movie and was quoted by saying "It's not really country," says Nelson, "It's more Mariah."

So for all the lambs out there better catch this film to see if Mariah's active improved or not.

On the other hand, Rihanna whose a big winner of the night performed her latest single "Rehab" from her repackaged album "Good Girl Gone Bad" and the "not-so-proud" rapper "Kanye West" performed his latest single called "Heartless".

My favorite performance of the night would have to be "Sarah McLachlan" & "P!nk" who gave a rendition of the classic hit "Angel" This was a very rare performance considering the fact that Pink is a rocker. I just loved it.
