The Longevity of Willie Nelson and Tony Bennett


I like Willie Nelson because of his longevity. The man is 83 and performs as if he were still 33. We’ve got to respect the legends while they’re still here. It’s just like giving grandpa his respect during the Holidays. Now, wouldn’t it be cool if Willie were your grandpa? Did you know Willie was raised by his grandparents?

Imagine snow sledding with Willie on a November night in Aspen, Colorado. We would visit Dolly Parton and paint the town red together. Just because he’s an outlaw doesn’t mean we’ll get into trouble. The outlaw might get us into a lot of fun.

I’m getting older myself and I’ve been noticing things, you know. I’ve seen singers turn into legends and legends die. Rest in peace David Bowie. Moreover, I’ve seen legends live also. Tony Bennett just turned 90 in August. This guy was around with Frank Sinatra.

Bennett is one of the oldest active entertainers alive. I want to be 100 years old and still blogging. Plus, I want to be rocking hard like Mick Jagger. Right now, I’ve got them moves like Jagger.

Willie Nelson and Tony Bennett are living legends. When Tony Bennett walks in a room he’s supposed to receive a standing ovation automatically. Willie Nelson shouldn’t have to go to jury duty or court, even if he shot the sheriff; because in the words of Bob Marley it was self defense.

All I am saying is we must honor the elders of music. They opened the doors yesterday for today’s celebrities. Where would Garth Brooks be without Willie Nelson? Doesn’t Blake Shelton echo Willie’s sound? And don’t you see Michael Buble and Harry Connick Jr. bowing down to Tony?

Tony Bennett and Willie Nelson came a long way. Bennett almost died from a cocaine overdose. Nelson has been arrested more than a handful of times. At the end of the day, everybody makes mistakes. The key is to learn from them and to keep making them. Just don’t keep making the same ones.

Can Jason Derulo Compete With Chris Brown?

Can Jason Derulo compete with Chris Brown?

Why isn’t Jason Derulo a bigger name? Thankfully, New Year’s Rockin’ Eve has recognized his greatness. Jason Derulo and Panic! at the Disco are scheduled to perform on the annual special according to Billboard.

Now, maybe Jason Derulo isn’t a bigger name because he hasn’t dated Rihanna. Or you could say he isn’t as talented as Chris Brown; but I don’t think that’s the case. I believe Jason is a bonafide entertainer, who doesn’t rely on luck.

Although Derulo doesn’t have as many collaborations with superstars like Chris Brown, he’s still a superstar. The entertainment industry requires patience. What is more, greatness takes time to develop. In due time, Jason’s name will light up in big words on Usher’s level. You see his style and career compares favorably with Usher.

Jason Derulo already has a big name at 27 years old. And it’s only going to get bigger in 2017. Landing a major contract deal with New Year’s Rockin’ Eve means the world, believe me.

I learned about Jason Derulo because I’m a huge Jordin Sparks fan. Now although their relationship didn’t work out, I won’t penalize Jason for it. You see, the entertainment business will break your heart if you let it. Celebrities date celebrities because coworkers date coworkers. And they breakup for the same reasons.

Everything is a learning process. And Jason Derulo has learned the definitions of patience and greatness. Every time, he takes the stage you’ll notice the purpose in his eyes. Nothing about this guy is mediocre.

Moreover, the Want to Want Me singer is on every woman’s Christmas list. You should see this singer rehearse. He sings with passion and that’s the bottom line. Somebody told me if you do what you love to do, you will never work a day in your life. Jason Derulo is living the good life.

He can compete with Chris Brown or anybody for that matter.

Feliz Navidad

Jose Feliciano wants to wish you a Merry Christmas from the bottom of his heart. Feliz Navidad is one of my favorite Christmas songs because Jose Feliciano sings his heart out. You must admire passionate people. There aren’t many more passionate songs Christmas or otherwise than Feliz Navidad.

Jingle Bell Rock

I came to love Jingle Bell Rock from a widely popular Christmas movie called Home Alone. Who remembers the classic scene starring Macaulay Culkin? Nothing beats Bobby Helms’ original version.

Walking In A Winter Wonderland

Michael Buble’s version transforms sound. I highly recommend listening to his entire Christmas album. Check out why Michael Buble is a supermoon.

This Christmas

You haven’t fully enjoyed This Christmas without hearing from Chris Brown. Chris Brown takes Christmas to another level with his one of a kind voice.

Chestnuts Roasting On an Open Fire

Nat King Cole- Chestnuts Roasting On an Open Fire remains a popular Christmas carol inside millions of households. Families everywhere love listening to Cole’s classically deep voice. Are you roasting chestnuts on an open fire this Christmas?

All I Want For Christmas Is You

All I want for Christmas is to listen to All I Want For Christmas Is You By: Mariah Carey. This is considered to be the #1 Christmas song by experts and fans the same. Congrats to Mariah Carey on Mariah’s World.

I Wish It Was Christmas Today

After many years of watching Saturday Night Live, I discovered I Wish It Was Christmas Today. It’s one of the coolest Christmas songs to date. The song by Julian Casablancas is modern and fun. Sometimes I sing this song in January, in anticipation for Christmas; because in all honesty I want Christmas everyday.

Silent Night

Silent Night might be old-fashioned but this captures what Christmas truly means. What is Christmas without love? When you’re fretting over what to give that special one on Christmas, why don’t you try giving love. What is more lovely than Silent Night sang by Kelly Clarkson and Reba McIntire?

O Holy Night

Here’s another song with timeless lyrics. This Christmas carol sets the mood right during the Holidays. I particularly love the YouTube version by Celine Dion, Whitney Houston, and Mariah Carey.

Joy to the World

Finally, Joy to the World completes my list of Top 10 Christmas songs. In this cruel world, people need to smile. There are many choices of Joy to the World. What’s your favorite?

Bringing Spice Girls Back Into Our Lives

It’s an emergency. We’re in the E.R. Room right now. Guru Jay is about to resuscitate the Spice girls. Call it a reunion if you will.

I know what I’m doing. I spent time studying under the best doctors, although I don’t have a medical degree; I’m a Guru damn it. I’m the greatest one you know in fact. I’ve mediated to the music of Dr. Dre. I’m sure you seen some of my Tweets #GuruJay.

Let’s not digress from the matter at hand. I’ve got lives to save. I’ll start with Mel B (Scary Spice) first because she’s a judge on America’s Got Talent; and you know, I scout talent with an eagle eye .

Mel B has 1.06 million Twitter followers, along with 265,000 Facebook likes. She’s made a name for herself ever since the Spice Girls broke up in early 2000. Do you follow her on Twitter and like her on Facebook?

Next up is Mel C (Sporty Spice). Did you know she sold over 500,000 copies of her Reason album? She’s one of my favorites because her voice melts my heart. Nowadays, the Capricorn is keeping a low profile but I expect this to change pretty soon.

The third Spice girl I will resuscitate is Emma Bunton (Baby Spice). I think she’s a wonderful actress. Emma delivers amazing performances in some of Bollywood’s best movies. You should check them out. Moreover, she has the voice for radio and the face for TV. She has hosted the Saturday Show since 2009. Plus Emma presents Breakfast with Jamie Theakston.

Fourth is Geri Halliwell (Ginger Spice). She’s enjoying the Spice of her life- Christian Horner. They married in 2015.

Last but not least, I will resuscitate Victoria Beckham (Posh Spice). Can you believe she’s still married to David Beckham? She’s built a name as a major fashion designer.

Now that they’re all resuscitated they can go on their reunion tour.

Who Does It Better Than Bon Jovi?

Who does it better than Bon Jovi? Born in 1983, the group outflanks all competitors. Bon Jovi knows how to put their best foot forward.

What’s on your playlist? I listen to You Give Love A Bad Name all the time. I also have Livin’ on a Prayer added on there. After all, in this cruel world isn’t everybody livin’ on a prayer. “Take my hand we’ll make it I swear.”

Bon Jovi speaks to the soul. The members are like priests performing exorcisms with their music. These celebrities take the time to put their blood, sweat, and tears into their songs.

The I’ll Be There For You band has constantly topped the charts. With 2.35 million Twitter followers and counting, they sell records from Johannesburg to New England. They also put up big numbers at shows.

You see Bon Jovi’s performances spark wonders. You can count on Jon Bon Jovi to stretch his voice to the seventh heaven. David Bryan may not be as famous as Luke Bryan but he can pick the keys one by one. And don’t get me started on Tico Torres. Saying that Tico Torres bangs the drum better than most is an understatement. Hugh Mcdonald doesn’t make a mistake on the bass. Finally, the blazing guitar of Phil X completes the recipe that is all of Bon Jovi.

To answer my question, no one does it better than Bon Jovi.

24 K Magic Billboard Bruno Mars Celebrities Entertainment Guru Jay Hollywood Hollywood Stars Music Musicians pop music Rock and Roll Showbiz Singers Starboy The Weeknd Victoria's Secret Fashion Show

Bruno Mars Vs. The Weeknd

BY: GURU JAY

Bruno Mars Vs. The Weeknd

CBS aired the annual Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show last night at 10 PM. All eyes were watching the models strut the stage. And all ears were listening to the lullabies of Lady Gaga, Bruno Mars, and The Weeknd.

Overall, I enjoyed seeing the sights from Paris on my HD TV screen. I can only imagine how nice it would be to see the show in 3D or going to the show live in person. Many celebrities were in attendance. It was great entertainment. Bruno Mars and The Weeknd showed up big time.


The question I want to know is Bruno Mars still better than The Weeknd. I believe The Weeknd may have usurp Bruno Mars in popularity. For the record, I consider Bruno to be the best singer in the entertainment business. Who can deny his vocal ability?

Bruno is even a better entertainer than the Weeknd. However, the Weeknd wins right now because of his undeniable style. Plus, his lyrics from his latest album are better than Bruno’s 24 K magic. Side to side, I would rather listen to the Weeknd’s Starboy album simply for the well-written verses. Still, they have both created hot beats with their new sounds.

The Weeknd currently holds 2 Guinness World Records. He has the most streamed album on Spotify in 1 year. Plus, he holds the record for most consecutive weeks in the Top 10 of Billboard’s Hot 100 by a Solo Male Artist.

Do you doubt that the famous Canadian and Hawaiian will be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame one day? Who will get a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame first? The Bruno Mars/ The Weeknd rivalry is real. They probably dream about each other.

Can you picture Bruno Mars leading a marching band? What if the Weeknd played the electric guitar? All I’m saying is that anything is possible.

2016 AMAs AMAs AMAs Recap American Music Awards Ariana Grande Celebrities Entertainment Guru Jay Hollywood Lady Gaga Music Niall Horan Showbiz Singers Sting The Chainsmokers Twenty One Pilots

2016 AMAs Recap

BY: GURU JAY

2016 AMAs Recap


Last year’s AMAs may have been the best ever. What’s better than the best? This year the AMAs tried to do the impossible and succeeded.

Hats off to Gigi Hadid and Jay Pharaoh for hosting. Hadid was hot as ever and Pharaoh was funny as hell. It was an interesting combination.

Plus, let’s acknowledge Bruno Mars’ grand entrance. Bruno Mars displayed master showmanship. You must have loved those incredible dance moves he stuck. He didn’t miss a beat. And he didn’t miss a note singing either.

Fans were treated to an amazing show. Fifth Harmony immediately grabbed everybody’s attention. They showed the world why they are the fabulous five last night.

The Weeknd made his triumph return. And it seemed like Drake took home every award imaginable. It was nice seeing fellow Canadians Justin Bieber (via Europe tour) and Shawn Mendes perform.


Niall Horan did his number. Lady Gaga did her thing. Robert Downey Jr. did a tribute to Sting.
You had all the Hollywood stars there.

One could argue Sunday night belonged to Green Day. Other big winners included Twenty One Pilots, Selena Gomez, Ariana Grande and the Chainsmokers. Talk about sensational. Twenty One Pilots turned the stage into an airplane.

What were your favorite moments from last night’s AMAs? Do you think Jennifer Lopez set the bar to high for the new hosts? Were you highly entertained or did you snooze away? What didn’t you like?

I think Shawn Mendes Treat You Better could have been better. It was just okay if I’m being honest. However, his Mercy performance was above average border lining great. I believe he was a bit nervous.

Overall, you can’t underestimate the entertainment value of the AMAs. From Lady Gaga to Sting, every performance had exceptional merit. We may not have liked everything but we can agree on some things. For one thing the AMAs were very entertaining.
