How Gwen Stefani and Fergie Became Icons

BY: GURU JAY


Who can deny Gwen Stefani’s long lasting mark? Today, the music artist remains relevant leaving her counterparts in the dust. In a super competitive field, Gwen has made a number of hit records and profitable deals.
For instance, Stefani endorses MasterCard. Plus, the celebrity’s clothing line LAMB is a dynasty. By diversifying her products, you see why Gwen Stefani became a commercial success.
Right now, Gwen has almost 2 million Twitter followers. You can bet the Cool songstress lives a luxurious lifestyle with up-to-date apps and gadgets. Be cautious though, because in Gwen’s own words she “ain’t no hollaback girl.”

Gwen Stefani was born in Southern California. So, she’s been surrounded by entertainers her whole life. That’s why Stefani is no stranger to the spotlight. More importantly, Gwen Stefani understands how to handle fame’s side effects. 

Apparently, like Fergie, she is living in the fast lane and yielding amazing results.

Madison Heights, Michigan native Stacy Ann Ferguson is widely known as Fergie. Her music is still heard throughout the world on radio airwaves and inside nightclubs. Gwen Stefani can teach Fergie her business savvy. Moreover, Gwen can learn from Ferg’s musical creativity.

I feel Fergie sings better than Gwen Stefani. In addition, the Black Eyed Peas singer has an outstanding music catalog. And as a solo music artist, Fergie has developed an original sound.
Nobody likes musical copycats; and that’s why everybody loves Fergie. You can’t compare her style with Madonna because the Fergalicious rapper refuses to imitate. Ferg teaches future singers how to innovate instead of merely recreating.
Fergie serves as a wonderful hostess for New Years’ festivities. Because she is the complete package, this entertainer will always find work. Not subscribing to the status quo is her M.O.

Gwen Stefani and Fergie possess star qualities. What is more, their exemplary careers teach lessons to upcoming entertainers. Instead of fixating on your limits, fix your eyes upon unlimited horizons.

When Mya and Ashanti Ruled Supreme

BY: GURU JAY

Long before rap and hip-hop, Diana Ross and the Supremes sang rhythm and blues (R&B). Mya and Ashanti dominated R&B when I was younger. And they’re still kicking it tonight like Xscape.
There’s no doubt in mind that Motown’s beat influenced Mya’s sound. Independent since 2008, Planet 9 founder Miss Mya is building her throne one golden brick at a time. I want Mya to reach the level, where she’s producing other music artists.
Is Mya’s brand durable? Let me say she’s in good company. Like Mya, billionaire Mark Cuban competed on Dancing with the Stars along with multi-millionaires Floyd “Money” Mayweather and Mario “Slater” Lopez.
Mya’s sweet and gentle voice soothes the pain. She keeps up a Paula Abdul type/ good girl image. But, is she really a bad girl like Rihanna?
What are your favorite Mya songs and albums?
I thoroughly enjoy Ridin’ from Liberation. What is more, Mya is a fine actress and versatile entertainer. Did you know she was a highly trained tap dancer?

Everyone will always remember Ashanti for her collaboration with Ja Rule. Nowadays, chemistry and entertainment don’t mix. Ashanti and Ja Rule should reunite for music’s and Pete’s sake.
Ashanti holds the record for fastest selling
debut album. Overwhelmingly, 2002 belonged to Ashanti musically. Ashanti’s Foolish video featured none other than Empire’s Terrence Howard.
I admire Ashanti for following her dreams. If she started her career today, she would be bigger than Jupiter. Skillfully, Ashanti is tremendously gifted in the dramatic arts. Moreover, the entertainer’s vocal abilities are perfect for Broadway.
In Rain on Me, Larenz Tate plays Ashanti’s cheating husband. Clearly, the rain symbolizes the fogginess of marriage and relationships. Her performance conveys a range of feelings and emotions.
Mya and Ashanti were ahead of their time, while Beyoncé and Alicia Keys had perfect timing. Still, Mya and Ashanti climbed to the top of the charts. Let’s remember when Mya and Ashanti ruled supreme.

How Beyoncé Became Famous

BY: GURU JAY


Is it ironic that Queen Bee’s music creates buzz? If Beyoncé were an artist, she’d sculpt masterpieces. The Flawless songstress makes passionate ballads and original songs.

Like Tina Turner, Beyoncé drives a Hummer. Big wheels keep on turning and the proud Ava Maria singer keeps on singing. Bee rolls around in Rolls Royce’s as well as dough.

Because Beyoncé delivers like Fed Ex, she tops my favorite pop star list. There’s a ton of musicians who lookup to Queen Bee. What is more, music lovers appreciate her steadiness. While Partition receives the highest critical acclaim, other songs such as: Rocket, No Angel, XO and Drunk in Love are noteworthy titles on the self-titled Beyoncé album.

Who else dreamt of dating Beyoncé? Who remembers when the dream girl posed on the Sports Illustrated magazine cover? Do new fans understand the entertainer’s gradual rise? Nothing, except miracles, happens overnight.


Beyoncé became famous by constantly touring and making media appearances. In addition to practicing routines, Queen Bee practices humility. In spite of sometimes appearing narcissistic, the Houston native doesn’t have a problem with staying grounded. 

Mrs. Knowles-Carter recently reached peak performance. Can you imagine the Freakum Dress creator getting freakier? By now, you’ve learned to never underestimate her sexiness.

The entertainer’s dance moves are mesmerizing. Fifth Harmony mimics Knowles’s choreography and discography. Fifth Harmony grew up imitating Destiny’s Child. 

In retrospect, Beyoncé used Destiny’s Child as a steppingstone. Going solo may have been lucrative for Bee but at who’s expense? Furthermore, who’s really at fault for Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams’s fading fame?

Hopefully, Fifth Harmony stays the course like Coldplay. However, if it means creating the next Beyoncé they should breakup. You see they don’t make them like this anymore.

Beyoncé is famous for a reason. Becoming a celebrity is like playing poker. In the words of Tupac Shakur, Queen Bee got dealt a hell of a hand- 1 royal flush.

How Jennifer Lopez Built the JLo Brand

BY: GURU JAY

Nowadays, anybody can be famous. Buy a digital camera or use your fancy iPhone to record your intriguing or foolish lifestyle. Look no further than the Real Housewives as a prime example.

Long before reality TV, Jennifer Lopez was real. In fact, JLo lived by that motto coining a song I’m Real. Respect Jennifer Lopez because she’s truly talented. 

ROCK THAT BODY

In the process of building her brand, the entertainer reportedly insured her ass for $27 million. With the invention of Nicki Minaj now the price of booty has doubled. In this superficial industry, JLo’s body rocks like a Black Eyed Peas song.

The super fly lady’s body is out of sight. She works hard to stay in shape. Give credit where it is due. Who represents Puerto Rico and the Bronx better than Jenny from the block?

BRAND NAME

Like Pepsi and Blue Magic, JLo is a brand name. Why hasn’t American Gangster Denzel Washington made a movie with Jennifer? Hollywood has dropped the ball.

Jennifer Lopez constantly complains about choosing the wrong partner. Frankly, the triple threat celebrity intimidates boyfriends. You see we still live in a world where men are expected to provide for their families.

Puff Daddy (Diddy) and JLo were perfect for each other. Although her love didn’t cost a thing, Lopez needed a bossy man. Jay Z might listen to Beyoncé but in the end he calls all the shots.

JLo shines brightly because like a distant star she’s been here awhile. Without Lopez, Selena Gomez and Demi Lovato would not be multimillionaires. People pay attention to Jennifer, because she’s an exceptional entertainer who crossed boundaries.

Music lovers and movie buffs can’t get enough of Jennifer Lopez. Who makes better dance music and romantic flicks than the booty pioneer? Good music makes girls twerk their butts. In a recent blog post, I proposed that Jennifer Lopez and Shakira make a single. I want to see JLo and Mariah Carey too.
