Happy – IamGuruJay

The Voice coach Pharrell Williams created ‘Happy’ and the rest is history. Honestly, I didn’t like the song at first. You see, I thought it was a rip-off of the nursery rhyme “If you’re happy and you know it, clap your hands.” But you could argue “there is nothing new under the sun.”

I changed my mind about the song after realizing its effect on people. Mass hysteria overrides prejudices. For the record, I’ve always liked Pharrell Williams because he’s a cool cat.

It’s that the world just recently discovered his coolness and greatness. Pharrell’s personality draws people in. Plus, the musician simplifies complex rhythms.

Is Pharrell a rapper? Or is he a singer? No doubt he uses his voice to create good music. What is music but a universal language?

Pharrell became popular by first collaborating with top talent. Before going solo, he was a part of the Neptunes and NERD. Initially, like Dr. Dre and Kanye West, he was in the back of the studio making hot beats.

Snoop Dogg took a liking to him because of his keen ear for music. That’s how come Pharrell made major contributions to hits like ‘Beautiful’ and ‘Drop It’s Like It Hot.’ Also, the artist helped develop ‘Blurred Lines’ with Robin Thicke.

Unfortunately for them, the late Marvin Gaye’s family won a lawsuit against Williams and Thicke. Nonetheless, the song was commercially successful. Furthermore, Happy was a world famous phenomenon.

What if more rappers chose to create positive songs? You see I enjoy all types of music. However, there is more than enough room for every sound.

I admire the musicians who act responsibly. Can’t we hold celebs accountable? After all, don’t fans buy their products?

In short, expect Pharrell Williams to keep swinging for the fences. So long as he’s up at the plate, he’ll make the most of it. He has an opportunity to become a walking and living legend like Reggie Jackson.

There is a lot to be happy about. Cheer up! Take a break. Treat yourself to this story. Have fun!

Who thought Glee would last forever? Great things require closure. Glee was a great show with a great cast. Moreover, Glee cast members Lea Michele and Naya Rivera stood out because of their greatness.

I really don’t know how the show managed to maintain the two phenomenal actresses under contract for so long. You look back and see a program with limitless possibilities. Lea and Naya are fine actresses and amazing musicians. It is a joy watching their careers launch off from their starting points.

I’m firmly against bandwagon jumping. I’m an Early Adopter. And I’m a diehard supporter.

I support Lea Michele and Naya Rivera as individuals and brands, because they are more than rising stars. They are shooting stars! The elite Latina entertainers have everybody chitchatting.

I pay close attention to trends and tune out gossip. By checking up on who is hot, you learn what is happening now. I like Lea and Naya because they’re hard workers with easygoing attitudes.

Do you like it easy? Well, if you watch YouTube videos, just type Glee into the search bar. You’ll find awesome content by simply clicking your left mouse button, or punching your enter key.

Most Glee cast members are underrated as singers and entertainers, because the show ran effortlessly for 7 straight years. Fans value this consistency. Furthermore, everyday the Latinas are becoming more beautiful.

I estimate Naya and Lea get more money from beauty endorsements than acting and singing.

Imagine you were tempting like them. Picture living in a SoCal Mansion overlooking the Pacific Ocean. Have you mailed Papi his postcard yet?

Ironically, Rivera and Michele represent a gleeful lifestyle. There is not a care in the world they need to worry about. The moral of the story is: get those bills paid on time, and do what makes you happy.
