Bob Marley represented more than just Reggae. The legendary singer symbolized music in all forms. If you keenly listen to lyrics, you’ll appreciate the celebrity’s creative mastery.
The Jamaican icon made songs with such ease.
The great musicians get their juices flowing in all directions. By in large, Marley’s music brings you to higher ground.
Name your favorite Bob Marley songs. My top five favorites are: One Love, Three Little Birds, Stir It Up, I Shot the Sheriff, and Bad Boys. There’s something special about the singer’s vocal command, which I can’t put to words.

Bob Marley’s legacy will last forever because his timeless music resonates with multimillions. Like Stevie Wonder, Marley’s sound cannot be replicated. There isn’t a Karaoke imitator on Earth that can fully capture Bob’s brilliance.
When you need encouragement, search through Bob Marley’s catalog. Because of his originality and skillfullness, his albums sellout quickly. Moreover, his positive message desensitizes injustice, oppression, cruelty and evilness.
Rastafarianism considers Bob Marley to be a pivotal prophet and messenger. Furthermore, the celebrity transformed popular culture with music- rallying hundreds of thousands on several continents. Despite death, the Rastafarian’s message still spreads across nations like wildfire.
From Sean Kingston to Blake Shelton, Bob Marley definitely influences modern musicians. While alive Marley lived a laidback lifestyle, where he minimized pressures and maximized pleasures. Although the musician lived in luxury, Bob identified with poor people as evidenced by his generosity.
The celebrity’s thriving story illustrates the importance of perseverance. Never allow your trials and tribulations to stop your success. Stop struggling and throwing pity parties. Essentially, be like Lady Gaga and start attending Monster Balls.
Bob Marley was not only a bricklayer but a lion in the concrete jungle.

Why Madonna Must Answer to Lady Gaga And the Texas State of Music

BY: GURU JAY
Sex Symbol

Madonnadeserves respect. She is an iconic sex symbol. But, I enjoy listening to Lady Gaga’s songs more than the material girl’s music.
I don’t intend to diminish Madonna’s legacy. I just want to highlight Lady Gaga’s achievements. Lady Gaga is the new Madonna. But let’s not forget how Madonna blazed the trail for today’s singers.
Do you think Lady Gaga cares more about the music or the sex? When you’re on her level, money is not a real concern. Lady Gaga can make a living just by licensing her name. This is a fair question.
I ask this question because I like to know what so-called sex symbols think. Take Scarlett Johansson for example. Does acting come before beauty?
Look at Lady Gaga. She is a perfect specimen  created in a laboratory. Her Body Mass Index has to be lower than 15. Does she eat at all?
Can Lady Gaga dethrone Madonna? Yes. Give Gaga some time and she’ll rise to number 1. I rank Lady Gaga 2nd right behind Beyoncé.
In 5 years, Madonna must answer to Lady Gaga. The telephone will ring and Gaga is on the line. Will Madonna accept the call? If not, Beyoncé is about to bust her out of jail.

Gaga’s music registers 9.9 on the Richter scale. Go for cover because when the lady rocks it’s an earthquake.

If I’m having a party Lady Gaga gets the first invitation. Then I’ll invite Miley Cyrus, Rihanna and Katy Perry. It’s all a matter of preferences.
I prefer high quality entertainment. In the words of James Brown “we’re gonna have a funky good time.” I like Lady Gaga because she’s comfortable in her own skin.
She’ll wear her birthday suit anywhere. She digs deep down in her soul when she performs. Can you name a better performer?
Would you rather go to a Lady Gaga or Katy Perry concert? I am a Katy Cat but I am also a Big Little Monster. Katy stays in the safe zone.
Gaga takes you on an adventure. Now, Katy is the perfect wedding singer. I can imagine my future wife walking down the isle while Katy Perry hits a high note. But, make no mistake Lady Gaga will perform at my bachelor party.
Wonder Woman
There’s TV Politics and there’s Music Politics too. Lady Gaga appeals to an adult audience. So she makes riskier music than Perry.
If Katy Perry is rated PG 13, Lady Gaga is rated R. Okay, I’m not saying Katy gets a free pass. I just think Gaga gets sacked a lot.
I didn’t understand the Tony Bennett affair at first. Now, it makes perfect sense. Gaga is his Wonder Woman and Bennett is her Batman.
Lady Gaga Sings the Blues

Tony Bennett rescued Lady Gaga. Tony took her under his wing in the nick of time. Bennett provided Gaga with a safety net.
Nobody embodies greatness better than Lady Gaga. Gaga became famous out of the blue. She committed herself to music like a soldier.
She’s highly trained and disciplined. Who outranks her? Just think about her devotion.
She loves entertaining. What is more, Gaga engages her fan base in real life as well as on social media. She has the cutest poker face.
You never know when she’s bluffing. Lady Gaga can do what she wants with her mind. I’ve seen concerts where she dominates the stage. She’ll make the stage her boyfriend.
She doesn’t have to sing Alejandro for you to get the point. Gaga plays to your senses. She is a sex symbol. Moreover, she can deal with fame. Check out the Top 20 Celebrity Quotes.
As a celebrity, you have to face pressure. There’s no way around this. You’re expected to do your part. Many celebrities avoid the spotlight. Lady Gaga embraces the attention.
Grabbing attention is not a bad thing. Would we really care about a ‘twerkless’ Miley Cyrus? Entertainment is meant to entice us.
Who wants to see a mediocre or boring performance? We want to see the best. So, what does it take? The answer is sacrifice.
Lady Gaga is outspoken about sacrificing her love life in order to build her career. That’s how she befriended Tony Bennett. Tony saved her from being a one hit wonder. Now, Gaga soars the charts like Wonder Woman.
I just want Lady Gaga to be healthy. Check out how to be healthy like Katy Perry. You see Lady Gaga appears to live on the edge.
I hope she gets centered. She can take a page from Tony Bennett’s playbook, and sing songs until she’s 90. Learn from Madonna.
Music moves fast. So, it’s surprising when a celebrity like Lady Gaga stops to smell the roses. Why can’t the Paparazzi leave her alone? She has the right to privacy.
Lady Gaga doesn’t owe us an album every two years. She should take a break and experiment a little. She should make a new sound.
Lady Gaga has an untouchable voice. At times she sounds like a DJ scratching a record. She can do what she wants with her vocal cords.
Can you imagine a Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars duet? Let’s make it happen. I’ll write the song.
Texas State of Music

Welcome to the Texas state of music. Music is not dead. In actuality, music is better than ever. It’s not fair to compare today’s sound with the 60s and 70s.
Bob Seger has got it completely wrong. I like that old time rock and roll too. But, I also like this new time rock and roll… Lady Gaga’s got the same soul!
I got three words: Beyoncé, Shakira and Rihanna. How can you throw their music under the bus? You can’t write off legendary talent.
Bruno Mars is in another world. Just the Way You Are, Grenade, and the Lazy Song combine for over 1.5 Billion YouTube views. So don’t believe the hype. The haters will hate.
Now, I’m not naive. I’m not saying every song is a hit. I understand there are misses.
All I am saying is don’t dismiss hit makers. YouTube is largely popular, in part, due to VEVO. Who listens to music on YouTube?
In this new age, Lady Gaga pushes the limits. I admire her bravery and courage.
Katy built a powerhouse because Gaga took a little break. Katy has evolved to number 1.
I previously ranked Gaga higher than Katy. However, right now Katy tops Gaga. But watch out: Lady Gaga will reclaim her position. Thank you for reading. I am Guru Jay launching off into orbit in 5-4-3-2-1!

Top 10 Celebrities with the Most to Lose!

10 Celebrities With the Most 2 Lose

Celebrities lose a lot of stuff. Some lose their minds. Some lose their keys to their Airplanes, Jets or Yachts. Some lose their mansions and limousines due to foreclosure and repossession.

Celebrities have it rough. Whenever Britney Spears goes to Starbucks, the cameras constantly flash. Celebrities don’t have privacy.

Here are the facts. Lady Gaga who is 10th on our list made more money last year than the top three highest paid actresses combined. Take a moment to digest what this mean. She is worth more than Angelina Jolie, Jennifer Lawrence, and Kristen Stewart put together.

I am fascinated by statistics. I have a love affair with words and numbers. The fact is letters and digits are powerful.

Lady Gaga, Steven Spielberg and Madonna rank high in the top 50 celebrities around the entertainment world. 

Shahrukh Khan ranks first in India. He is someone to look to for financial advice. A conservative estimation of his net worth is $600 Million

Shahrukh Khan


What would you do with $600 million?

Simon Cowell holds the number one spot in Britain. His net worth is growing. According to the Celebrity Net Worth, Cowell has an estimated value of $400 million.

There’s two weeks until tax day (April 15), which is an unofficial holiday for accountants, tax attorneys and tax preparers. Everybody has an Uncle named Sam.

No one is above Tax Law. So, don’t find out the hard way. Many celebrities have found out the delicates of taxes the difficult method.

If I were a celebrity (hey, I can dream right?) If I were a celebrity, I would be frugal like Warren Buffett. I’d cash in on the free stuff and perks.

But if you think I’m going to buy a vacation property in the Bahamas, you’re the one dreaming. I’d create a collective time-share, and vacation virtually everywhere.

I’m curious to see how the warm beige Brazilian beach sand feels between my toes. I want to travel to India and meet my fellow Guru Shahrukh Khan. Perhaps, I’d study under his tutelage and bring his good graces back to the Americas.

If I were a celebrity I would have a lot to lose. The life of a celebrity is challenging. Every day presents possibilities.

Today your agent asks you do you want to endorse Pepsi. Tomorrow he tells you Coca-Cola will give you $250,000 more than PepsiCo. What do you do?

Which one tastes better? To be exact, Coke is $250,000 richer in taste. Hey, I’m human. I have physical, emotional, and financial needs.

Celebrity Losers


Celebrities have a lot to lose. Because of my inquisitive nature, I researched the Forbes Celebrity 100. If you have never been on the site, there is a nifty ranking tool.


You can organize celebrity data on Forbes. Please don’t forget to pay your taxes. You don’t want to be reminded by the IRS. 

I just wanted to show the hard numbers. I don’t want to give you opinions.  I want to give you a perspective.


I don’t want to name names, but there are gossip columns that make money off of defaming celebrity characters. That’s wrong.What?

You don’t have anything positive to say? Oh, but you watch his movies, listen to his music, and subscribe to his channel. But, he’s the scum of the earth?


Seriously, these so called “entertainment experts” need to shut up and keep their mouths closed. Don’t speak until we speak to you?


Chelsea Lately, Perez Hilton, and Wendy Williams think they own the entertainment world. They think they can say whatever they want. Guess what? We have the power to change the channel and go to a better blog.


We don’t have to listen to your garbage every time.  Those three, of all people, should understand celebrities have a lost to lose. Yet, they make a fortune off of telling you misinformation.


Here’s the straw that broke the camel’s back for me. Perez Hilton was on Wendy William’s show defaming Lindsay Lohan’s character to the core. I shouldn’t even repeat half of what he said about Lohan.


So, Perez Hilton told Wendy Williams Lindsay Lohan doesn’t have a soul. We want to know who died and made Perez Hilton God. Also, who is watching this trash on TV?

Chelsea Handler is a so called comedian/model who exercises her first amendment right to hate on celebrities and anyone else who is Gay, Jewish, Black, Latino, Asian or Arab.

I haven’t watched her show in over three years. And, I won’t ever watch her. She needs to get her act together ASAP. Give us more than gossip!

Chelsea Handler, Perez Hilton and Wendy Williams are so called “celebrities” who have lost credibility in the entertainment world. What celebrity wants to do an interview with these three stooges? AKA Celebrity Losers.

What would you do if you were a celebrity?

In my How To Be Justin Bieber blog post, I defend Bieber from character assassination. He’s not even 21 years old but they talk about him like he’s a lifelong criminal.

Al Capone was treated better in the media than Justin Bieber is right now. I want to know what gives these hooligans the audacity to berate entertainers on a daily basis. I don’t get it.

Chime in on the discussion and share the love. Share the love because there’s too much hate going around. More people need to get the message.

Come Back

Madonna is coming back.  At 55 years, she is still famous because of her legacy. Remember, it takes time to build a brand.

Steven Spielberg was rejected from the USC School of Cinema Arts. Now, Steven Spielberg is the greatest film director of all time. It shows you the stupidity of college admissions.

If you ever get rejected, don’t let it get you down. You could be the Steven Spielberg of writing, music, sports or business. In other words, keep dreaming.
