Why Sia Is Unique

BY: GURU JAY


Right now, Adele is making headlines for Hello and 25. And Rihanna is expected to release ANTI anytime. Finally, Sia will unveil her new album This Is Actingon January 29, 2016.
Listening to music is good for you. The next time you play a song, consider singing along. Currently, I’m Alive by Sia is on my playlist. I find myself reciting the words and humming the catchy tune. After closely examining the lyrics, I am impressed by the songwriting.
Sia won’t be forgotten. That’s for sure. Her style reminds me of Cher. She can belt out ballads with such great ease. Moreover, Sia is the most creative music artist out there.
I like Lady Gaga a lot, but Sia’s creativity is unmatchable. Kanye West can’t even express himself more creatively than Sia. Let me stress I’m not knocking anyone.

I only want to praise the Chandeliersinger’s gifts. It is wonderful listening to Sia. Who else can turn their voice into a trombone?
The Australian songstress isn’t bound by location. She built a strong fan base organically across continents. What is more, her lyrics contain meaning.
She serves a purpose. She’s not singing about sex or glorifying drug culture. Her music is about struggle and empowerment.
Did you know she’s collaborated with rappers Eminem and Kanye West on the songs Guts Over Fear and Wolves, respectively?

Sia covers her face to remain mysterious. Who else does that? Almost all celebrities love placing their faces front and center.
“Selfies” are a new concept popularized by Kim Kardashian. The reality TV star “published” a book with pictures of her body in various poses.
Sia doesn’t seem to want fame. Who could blame her? However, the singer continues recording and performing because she realizes her incredible talent is a blessing. Sia is unique.

AMAs American Music Awards Best Blog Celebrity dancing Guru Jay Gwen Stefani Jennifer Lopez Justin Bieber Music Nick Jonas One Direction Recap Selena Gomez singing Taylor Swift The Weeknd TV

AMAs Recap

BY: GURU JAY


It was a spectacular celebration at the AMAs last night. Jennifer Lopez started singing her hit song Waiting for Tonight. Then, out of nowhere she broke into dancing to this year’s most popular music. She had help from dozens of dancers.
Trivia: AMAs stands for American Music Awards
There were too many shows to mention them all. Hopefully, I highlight the best ones. At Guru Jay, I provide the best entertainment.

The Weeknd won the first award, presented by Prince. Later in the show, the Hills singer performed his classic. He literally set the stage on fire. I was worried he might burn to a crisp and they would have to evacuate the building.

All the stars came out for the night. Everything you could want to happen happened. There was tongue kissing, confetti falling, and nudity.
Gwen Stefani arrived on the red carpet wearing a naked dress. Right now her dress is a major trend on social media. While singing Used to Love You, Gwen had the crowd shedding tears.

Also, Nick Jonas gave a nice performance. He had a lively choir back him up on Jealous. I keep saying he is the future Justin Timberlake.
Additionally, rivals Demi Lovato and Selena Gomez delivered exciting routines. Plus, Coldplay put on a colorful show featuring dancers in gorilla-suits.
One Direction took home Artist of the Year again. I thought Taylor Swift deserve it for her 1989 album. This is what I call “music politics.”

The media hyped Taylor Swift all year. Radio constantly blasted Shake It Off, Bad Blood, and Blank Space. I’m not the biggest “Swifty,” but I give credit where it is due. Taylor got robbed.
Finally, Justin Bieber closed the AMAs like only he could do. The Biebs performed What Do You Mean, Where Are U Now, and Sorry. Did you get a glimpse of the AMAs?

Actors Celebrity Celebrity Blog Comic Books Entertainment News Guru Jay Hollywood Stars Jessica Jones Kilgrave Krysten Ritter Marvel Mike Colter Movies Netflix Rachael Taylor Thrillers TV TV Recap

Are You Watching Jessica Jones?

BY: GURU JAY

Are you watching Jessica Jones? I have watched the first three episodes. I decided to write a recap because it’s a dynamic viewing experience.

Disclaimer: even the most expensive diamonds contain flaws though. So, I’ll point out what I don’t like about Jessica Jones first.
To begin with, the storyline makes too many assumptions. If you’re unfamiliar with the comic book, you’ll have a hard time figuring out what’s happening.
Also, I didn’t like how the camera zooms and angles. Why is it necessary to show human bodies at a distance? For instance, when Jessica’s snapping pictures the people are too far away for you to appreciate their gestures and mannerisms. If I were an actor in the series, I would want my full face and body shown and you would too.
I believe the screenwriters are drunk with power. The barrier to entry for screenwriting restricts fantastic writers. Overall, I give the writing a C-, and the acting receives an A-.
I’m upset because although the series is good, it could be better.
Marvel’s Jessica Jones on Netflix may lack in some areas, but I still recommend watching it. I see a promising future for the series. Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, and Trish Walker were excellently casted. Krysten Ritter, Mike Colter, and Rachael Taylor are a good fit.

Furthermore, the plot and characters are intriguing. Watching Jessica Jones is a reliever from a difficult day. Finally, you see things from a different perspective with a unique feel.
Can you picture a world with the same set of lenses? In Marvel’s universe, there are superheroes. Superhero Jessica Jones is one in a million.
Unfortunately, there are villains too. The antihero Kilgrave can control people’s minds, including Jessica’s head. What’s amazing is Kilgrave can do this telepathically. In the first episode, Hope Shlottman shoots and kills her parents in point blank range while under Kilgrave’s remote control.
Apparently, Jessie’s best friend/ talk show host Trish Walker has history with Kilgrave as well. But, Trish foolishly exposes his existence to her audience.
Kilgrave sends a Boy in Blue out to murder the babe. Luckily, she survives police brutality. In the nick of time, Jessica injects Trish with sleep antihesia. You see, the superhero discovers that’s Kilgrave’s weakness is sleep anesthesia after talking to Dr. Karuta. What is your weakness?

Celebrity Celebrity Blog Celebrity Gossip DJango Unchained Entertainment Guru Jay Halle Berry Hollywood Stars Kerry Washington Lakeview Terrace Movies Scandal sex symbols The Last King of Scotland

What Makes Kerry Washington Special

BY: GURU JAY
Actresses come and go in Hollywoodland. Sometimes the most talented stars are unfairly mistreated by “showbusinessmen.” Still, you can’t deny the preciousness of a diamond in the rough.

How amazing is Kerry Washington? Let’s appreciate her offerings and sacrifices to the entertainment industry. Her body of work is a work of art.
I will explain what makes Kerry Washington special. Kerry became a top 5 TV actressafter a successful movie career. Without question, her value as an actor has quadruple since Scandal. Approximately 7 million viewers watch the popular legal/political TV drama.
I encourage you to watch Kerry Washington’s movies. Like Halle Berry, she sacrificed higher salaries for the sake of creating superior content. For example, she was underpaid for both the Last King of Scotland and Ray.
Additionally, I recommend watching Lakeview Terrace. I’ve seen the film at least 3 times. You’ll enjoy her back and forth with Samuel L. Jackson.

Kerry Washington’s Django Unchained performance was off the chain. As a disclaimer, this movie isn’t for everybody. Django was designed to be controversial.
The hot actress plays the hell out of roles. She was the shit in I Think I Love My Wife, although Gina Torres got the best line. When Washington is in a film, her presence is always felt.
Kerry is still out of sight. She doesn’t need makeup. Does she look gorgeous or what?
You see what makes her special is a rare combination of talent and beauty. Kerry Washington is similar to Scarlett Johansson and Angelina Jolie. All three are terrific thespians and sex symbols.
You need tough skin to succeed in Tinseltown.
You must learn how to deal with rejection and brush up on your politics. Celebrities aren’t measured with the same stick as common folk.

The uncommon Kerry Washington has brushed up on political events. Few actresses achieve her level of fame, while staying levelheaded. That’s what makes her special.

Best Blog Celebrity Chi-Raq comedy Dave Chappelle Eddie Murphy Funny Guru Jay Jamie Foxx Katt Williams Kevin Hart Marlon Wayans Movies Nick Cannon Richard Pryor Russell Brand Standup Comedians

Who’s Laughing? Dave Chappelle, Marlon Wayans, and Nick Cannon

BY: GURU JAY


Previously, I asked who’s wilder and crazier than Russell Brand. Let’s begin with Dave Chappelle. Have you seen Chappelle’s Show? Maybe, you’re like me and have watched every episode.
In one episode, Dave loses a movie role to Nick Cannon (who I will discuss later). It was extremely wild and crazy. Who remembers Wayne Brady’s notable appearances on that TV show? 
I first learned about Chappelle’s Show in high school. The show had just started, and my math teacher kept saying, “I’m Rick James, bitch!” In addition, Chappelle is widely known for his portrayal of Prince.
I believe Dave Chappelle is the funniest standup comic in history. Most people acknowledge Richard Pryor as the most iconic comedian. Without question, all great standups borrow from Pryor. 
I’m not knocking Eddie Murphy, Kevin Hart, or Katt Williams. I study comedy and the people I’ve mentioned are professors. Everybody should appreciate a variety of selections.

Also, we must acknowledge madman Marlon Wayans. The Wayans Brothers sitcom was a classic. Shout out to John Witherspoon.
Marlon Wayans is one of the wildest and craziest comedians in show business. A Haunted House 2 is out of control. When we went to see it, every jaw in the theater dropped. This guy makes thugs with mean mugs crack smiles. He’s off the wall.
No one has a more hilarious Twitter page than Marlon Wayans. That’s why I retweet him often. Plus, he has tweeted over 61,000 times.
Last but not least, Nick Cannon deserves recognition for Wild ‘N Out, America’s Got Talent, and Drumline. Did you know Nick is on radio too? How does he get any sleep?

Moreover, I recommend watching his Showtime specials.
The versatile Nick Cannon is similar to Jamie Foxx. Like Foxx, Cannon has used TV, radio, movie, and Internet platforms to market his brand. While it may seem that he is grandpa’s age, he is actually only 35 years old.
Nick Cannon and Dave Chappelle star in a new “Spike Lee Joint” called Chi-Raq. Samuel L. Jackson (Not Laurence Fishburne) narrates the movie. It debuts December 4th. 
Who’s laughing?

Asian Actresss Blackish Celebrity comedy Constance Wu Dr. Ken Entertainment Fresh Off the Boat Funny Guru Jay Hollywood Hudson Yang Ken Jeong Margaret Cho Randall Park sitcom TV What's on TV

Who’s Watching Fresh Off the Boat?

BY: GURU JAY 


Who’s watching Fresh Off the Boat? Last night I tuned in and wasn’t disappointed. If you want to be entertained, check out Fresh Off the Boat.
I see Dr. Ken regularly. Now, Fresh Off the Boat is my new favorite sitcom. This season, the Fresh Off the Boat crewmates are rocking in the same boat. No one is jumping ship either because tides are running high.
ABC is doing a good job catering to a diverse population. Modern Family, The Goldbergs, and Blackish are cornerstones of the established TV network. With a little more marketing, Fresh Off the Boat could improve its ratings.

I believe Constance Wu is a beautiful Asian actress. If I were running this show, I would broadcast her image and likeness everywhere. Also, she’ll get more lines under my production and direction.
It’s difficult trying to increase a TV show’s ratings. It’s a brutally competitive business.  The best way to boost ratings is through innovation.
Like many comedy shows, Fresh Off follows a formula. If we add a variable, then we should expect a different outcome. Maybe, adding a few more recurring characters can do the trick. For instance, comedian Margaret Cho (Dr. Wendi) plays Ken Jeong’s sister.
Right now, Randall Park (Louis Huang) and Hudson Yang (Eddie) carry the weight of the TV show. I don’t propose changing this father and son dynamic. However, we must utilize all of our available resources in order to produce the most profitable situation.

I promise you’ll have fun watching Fresh Off the Boat because of all the creativity. The latest episode was called “Huangsgiving.” Constance Wu’s character (Jessica) was chosen by her mother to “host” Thanksgiving. I won’t spoil it for those who haven’t seen it. You can watch the full episode by visiting here. Give thanks.

Who’s Wilder And Crazier Than Russell Brand?

BY: GURU JAY

  
It’s never too early or too late to start doing standup comedy. Fans expect comics to come on stage and tell hilarious stories. Who tells wilder and crazier stories than Russell Brand?
Although he’s a fun and playful celebrity, there is also a serious side to the man. Russell Brand is waging war against income inequality. As an activist, he is outspoken about wage slavery.
Taking a stance against powerful corporations is extremely risky. Then again, Russell Brand doesn’t mind losing out. And that’s why he’s a winner.
Russell raises eyebrows and drops jaws, because he’ll say what he feels like saying. He isn’t filtering his word choices like most celebrities. While many celebs commonly erase their Tweets, Brand hardly hits the delete button.

An authentic comedian won’t apologize for anything or to anyone. Russell Brand is a celeb with balls. He wears his hair long. He dons a full beard. This is symbolic to how Russell lives his life- to the fullest.
People are fond of him because he’s hosted TV shows, acted in movies, and performed on stage. You should consider watching Get Him to the Greek.
Russell Brand can make you comfortable and uncomfortable in a matter of minutes. He regularly challenges the status quo. What great comedian is politically correct? It’s the comic’s duty to get under people’s skin.
I admire Brand’s style and delivery. He doesn’t give it to you all at once. Joke by joke, sketch by sketch, the great Brit takes spectators on a trip.
You see Russell Brand thrives on controversy. That’s why he means everything to the comedy world. He is someone who bridges gaps.

His intellect allows him to relate to a range of mentalities. You know it is important to widen your scope. I look forward to the comedic actor’s movies because of his uniqueness.
You won’t find a wilder and crazier jokester.
