A Farewell to Orphan Black

A Farewell to Orphan Black

My British friends and many Americans were fans of Orphan Black. I decided to watch Orphan Black after noticing my Twitter feed full of #OrphanBlack s. I had featured the show in a blog post back in March 2014. My blog has been around for a relatively long time on the Internet.

I’ve been trying to figure out who is Elizabeth Childs? So, I pulled an all nighter Saturday to get to the bottom of it. I still haven’t been to sleep. But I’m having fun blogging. Time flies when you’re doing something you love to do.

I checked it out to see if it was any good. Overall, I was impressed. The concept was intriguing.

Orphan Black explored urgent issues in today’s society. It also showed a refreshing perspective on life in general. Now that it is completed, I plan on watching every single episode. I wasn’t late to the bandwagon because I’m not a bandwagon jumper. I was always aware of the show’s greatness. That’s why they call me the Entertainment Guru.

There’s just so much TV you can consume in your personal life. You got to make time for books, music, comedy, and movies too.

For the record, I didn’t binge watch Orphan Black. I watched 2 episodes through and through. We do ourselves a disservice when we binge watch, sometimes.

The genius of Orphan Black is that it was an imported TV show. Originality is rare in the film business. Hollywood remakes Remakes. You read that right. Orphan Black was as original as they came in entertainment and showbiz.

I wonder what’s next for Tatiana Maslany and the amazing cast. It appears Orphan Black is officially ending after 5 seasons. The show is over. They say it’s a wrap. 5 seasons is a long enough time. Plus, I believe the whole story was told and that’s what is important. This is a farewell to Orphan Black.

If you want something to do, why don’t you listen to some music? Listening to music is more than just a hobby. Listening to music is a lifestyle. Can you imagine life without Vevo, Spotify, and Coachella?

Have you heard any good songs lately? I’ll share what’s new on my playlist with readers. Recently, I have discovered Lorde. I highly recommend listening to the singer. I plan on attending her concert in the future.

Her sound is similar to Lady Gaga’s futuristic music. She sounds like a talking saxophone. There’s something special in her voice that only a few singers possess. No one can deny her creative streak.

They say if you can make it here in New York, you can make it anywhere. 20 year-old Lorde demonstrated her big time abilities in the Big Apple as musical guest on Saturday Night Live last March. Her performance received an ample round of applause from a lively crowd. It wouldn’t surprise me if Lorde is invited back to host as early as next year.

The Tennis Court songstress makes headlines like Serena Williams weekly. She may even surpass Serena’s popularity one day soon. But right now the Wimbledon legend is on top.

Still, Lorde has the whole world ahead of her. Did you know the sexy songstress originates out of New Zealand? The hot Iggy Azalea originates out of Australia, which is not too distant from the Green Light singer’s headquarters.

As a result of hard work and good looks, Lorde is a major trend in search results. In fact, she was the 5th most Googled celebrity a month ago. I believe she is in the process of building a global fan base right now. She generates a lot of traction in magazines, on blogs, and around town.

The Interesting Tale of Mandy Moore

Once upon a time there were 3 princesses: Britney, Jessica, and Mandy. They were three of a kind so to say. At their peak potential, they rivaled one another.

Mandy Moore used to dominate MTV back when Carson Daly hosted Total Request Live (TRL). She could sing with the best of them including Britney Spears. She was more famous than Jessica Simpson at one point in time.

Then, something mysterious happened. She went away- not so much in the physical sense but in the supernatural sense. The pop princess was no longer famous in 2007. Yet, last year she comes out of nowhere like Supergirl all of a sudden.

I call this phenomenon the interesting tale of Mandy Moore. The multi-talented Mandy is a very intriguing specimen and fascinating story. She has her way- coming and going as she pleases. Few celebrities can enter and renter Tinseltown after spending time in Zombieland.

That’s why everybody is interested in Mandy Moore’s projects. This Is Us left fans literally dying for Moore. Moreover, the singer has proven she’s a wonderful actress. Whatever you do, don’t underestimate Mandy Moore’s magnetism.

This pop princess knows how to entertain the masses. From the Princess Diaries to Tangled, she came a long way on her journey. Who wants to be her Prince Charming? At 32 years old, Mandy is still young and vibrant.

Future Hollywood stars should learn from this celebrity. If you want to succeed in the entertainment business, sometimes you need to take it slow. Far too many actors/singers rush their game and don’t get to enjoy the fruits of their labors.

When you’re famous, work-life balance may become nonexistent. So try to be like Mandy who is living like a fairy tale. There’s a reason this princess is making headlines right now.

Great comedy can bring people together. Some standups don’t know how to relate to everyone. That’s why you see instant backlash and isolated people at shows.

It is important to win the crowd over and get them on your side. Not everyone can do this effectively. Greatness takes time, dedication, and practice. The best in showbiz don’t become famous overnight.

Russell Peters is one of the greats. He belongs in the best standup comedians conversation. You see Russell engages in risky behaviors and his audience loves him for that.

This comic will make fun of anybody. Hell, he’ll even make fun of himself. When you’re not afraid to tell jokes, you sell out crowds easier. Moreover, he tackles challenging subjects in a sarcastic manner.

Born in Toronto Canada, he qualifies as one of the funniest Canadians. Plus, his Indian background contributes a great deal to his material. You could compare him to Aziz Ansari but there is only one Russell Peters. Make no mistake, his style and delivery are unmistakeable.

Many of his jokes are unrepeatable, of course, because they are NSFW (Not Safe For Work). In other words, repeating his comedy at your job could get you fired. So, proceed with caution. Tread on thin ice if you don’t want to offend anybody.

Everyone must know the importance of timing in standup comedy. Russell Peters delivers like Amazon, right on time. Right now is Russell Peters time to shine. The celebrity is singing You Are My Sunshine on his way to the bank. He has a lot to be happy about.

The 46-year-old is one of the highest paid comedians according to Forbes. He makes $21 million per year. That’s almost as much as LeBron James’ take home pay. I highly recommend watching his Almost Famous standup special. And I look forward to seeing his future work.

Why Keira Knightley Is The Perfect Actress

Keira Knightley is one of my favorite actresses. I believe she is the best British entertainer right now. Moreover, her qualities as an actor are perfect. At 31, who has accomplished as much as this Hollywood star?

She poetically portrays characters on the silver screen. Also, nothing gets in the way of her delivering top notch results. Keira Knightley is known for superior performances. The Hollywood actress is laser focused in her films. You can easily see how her hard work pays dividends.

In my mind, Keira Knightley should sit next to Julia Roberts at the Academy Awards. Why don’t I arrange the Oscars seating charts with Keira Knightley’s Name between Roberts and mine?; that’s just a suggestion. Like Brie Larson, she’s one of the best actresses in showbiz. The red carpet was made for her footprints.

This phenomenal actress is one of the reasons I recommend Collateral Beauty. She helps bring the story to life as her character pulls off an amazing performance. I literally love Keira Knightley, who plays the abstract Love, in Collateral Beauty.

Additionally, she steals the spotlight from Benedict Cumberbatch in the Imitation Game. The wonderful thespian convinces the audience that her character, a cryptanalyst, helps save the world from destruction. Did you know that the movie is based on a true story?

As you can tell, Keira Knightley is everything you want in an actress. She has the look and style plus the talent minus the attitude. Sure, she seems a little sassy but that’s how we like it, right? When you make it to the top, you’re entitled to special privileges.

Knightley has earned significant star power by consistently shining throughout her illustrious career. She’s earned endorsements by commanding attention to her cause. Through constant repetition and memorization, Keira Knightley became one of the highest paid and most in-demand actresses of all time. As far as I’m concerned, Keira Knightley is the perfect actress.

Tim McGraw Vs. Garth Brooks


You can only have one. Who do you choose between Tim McGraw and Garth Brooks? Who do you believe is better? I think Tim McGraw wins in the long term, but right now Garth Brooks is the best man for the job.

My motto is “may the best man win.” Moreover, May We All McGraw is letting Garth Brooks outshine him these days. You see Garth Brooks is greater in the short term. His Amazon commercials demonstrate his ability to generate massive appeal. Where are the McGraw advertisements, seriously? Maybe, I’m missing the placements.

For what it’s worth, Tim McGraw has won one more Grammy than Garth Brooks (3 to 2). However, Brooks has earned 22 Academy of Country Music Awards compared to McGraw’s 14. What does this say about the two country music singers? Maybe, McGraw is more mainstream and Brooks is true country.

Both celebrities deserve respect because they are legends. Is this the Luke Bryan Vs. Blake Shelton argument all over again? Luke and Blake are legends in the making. But I believe they would rather be in McGraw’s shoes than Brooks’ boots.

It is important to pay tribute to legends while they are still here. These days celebrities are becoming scarce. In 2016, we lost a plethora of legendary entertainers. Let’s appreciate who we have and show some respect. In the words of Garth Brooks, we have to appreciate them as “if tomorrow never comes.”

What’s wrong with comparing celebrities? Entertainment is about having fun and escaping from harsh realities. Besides, competition makes for better music.

Let’s go back to the question at hand. Remember, you can only have one. The answer depends on whether you want your steak rare or well done.

I don’t mind waiting for the flower to bloom, so I choose Tim McGraw. McGraw is a sensible choice for a guru, who loves Country. I’ll take my time meditating, then I’ll listen to Tim sing.
