Favorite New York City Celebrities

BY: GURU JAY


From Barbara Streisand to Christina Aguilera, a star was born in New York City, New York. New York City celebrities like Lady Gaga, shine brightest this time of year. As we celebrate our old friendships and new acquaintances, let’s recognize our favorite New York City celebrities. Who is your favorite NYC celebrity?
Have you ever been to NYC? Have you had a chance to experience Christina Aguilera in concert? Christina Aguilera has so much soul.
I’m excited about Xtina’s New Year’s Eve performance tonight on ABC. She brings it home. I look forward to a fun filled night.
If you could copy her voice and repackage it, you would make millions of dollars. Beautiful, Genie in a Bottle, Candyman, Dirrty and Bound to You are just a few of Christina Aguilera’s greatest hits.
Did you know Alicia Keys was from New York? Enjoy listening to Empire State of Mind. Alicia Keys defines rhythm.
Alicia Keys was born to entertain. There’s no one like Alicia Keys, and that’s why she’s recognized today even in Tokyo, Japan.
Let’s throw in Mariah Carey while we’re at it, because she is the epitome of New York City celebrity. When it comes to music this time of the year, who does it better than Mariah Carey? Mariah is a gift that keeps on giving.
Still, New York isn’t just about music. New York City is a land of entertainment…Broadway shows, movies, and television. Scarlett Johansson is a prominent resident.
She has starred in exceptional films such as Lucy, Avengers, and Ghost in a Shell. The excellent Scarlett Johansson is a household name and a big box office ticket. This Hollywood actress should become number 1 soon.
There are a ton of New York City celebrities. It seems every celebrity would like to associate with the city in one form or another. Taylor Swift recently moved there. Who are your favorites?

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?

What Mariah Carey Can Teach Ariana Grande and Meghan Trainor

BY: GURU JAY
Whether we’re exhausted or fully charged Mariah Carey serves our needs. Who doesn’t mind falling asleep and waking up to MC? How about setting the tone of your alarm clock to one of her songs right now?
Mariah Carey is my favorite singer for a personal reason. When I was 21, I would listen to Mariah’s music with this girl to the crack of dawn each weekend. I only mentioned how much she looked like the star and she told me how big of a fan she was. So we shared that and chilled together.
Mariah Carey’s song was not only my high school graduation class song but my brother’s as well. Mariah Carey is awesome. There’s no doubt about it.

Who can question the unquestionable? Who can deny the undeniable? Who can teach the unteachable?
Both Alicia Keys and Ariana Grande sing angelically. However, Mariah Carey has the voice of a goddess. The pureness of her sound is astounding.
What are your favorite Mariah Carey songs? I like We Belong Together, Don’t Forget About Us, and My All. Plus, I enjoy her Beautiful duet featuring Miguel.
The Fantasy songstress consistently creates so many number 1 hits that it seems unrealistic. How many records has she shattered? Who can claim they’ve reached Mariah Carey’s mountain of success musically and financially?

Music students pay attention when Mariah Carey is teaching class. Ariana acknowledges Mariah’s greatness. That’s why I believe Carey can teach Grande great things.
Grammy Award winning Best New Artist Meghan Trainor should meet with Mariah for coffee soon. Mariah Carey is much more than a veteran. She is a four star general of music. She could train Trainor and promote her to top rank.
I go straight to the source and don’t beat around the bush. I admire Carey’s kindness and sincerity. She serves everything on a silver platter. Whether we’re tired or wired, Mariah is always something to be admired.

Why There Is No One Like Alicia Keys

BY: GURU JAY

  
No One, Like You Never See Me Again, and Unthinkable are my favorite Alicia Keys songs. When I want to slow it down, I listen to Alicia’s music. I believe she’s a modern day Roberta Flack and Gladys Knight.
Do you love her new braids? The Doesn’t Mean Anythingsinger doesn’t mind throwing it back. Isn’t she wonderful? Did you know she’s part Italian?
Some people compare her to Beyoncé and Mariah Carey. However, she should be recognized for her uniqueness. Acknowledge this amazing music artist on her own merits. 
First, the mother of two nurtures her crowds. The celebrity cares deeply about humanity. That’s why whenever she accepts an award she raises awareness about pressing issues.

Secondly, she writes the best lyrics in the music business. In addition, Alicia’s melodies are catchy. Fans know that it’s nearly impossible getting her songs out of your head.
For the record, I’ve been an Alicia Keys supporter forever. You Don’t Know My Name, Fallin‘, and If I Ain’t Got You were my jams back in the day. The singer is especially poetic.
Third, she sings with purpose. She strives to shine her light. These days the world is very dark. Alicia Keys is a bright spot on the map.

The sweetheart gives hope. You know it’s about to get good when Keys sits at that piano. There is no one like Alicia Keys. She is the crème de la crème.
Finally, I appreciate her softness and diligence. Her pitch and tone are pleasing to the ears. She is not a bad actress either. Like singer/actress Lena Horne she’s got rhythm.
I wonder if Mya and Ashanti would mind opening for Alicia Keys. What if the three of them formed a music group? From New York to Japan, fans love attending Alicia’s concerts.
Nothing compares to Alicia Keys at her finest.

How Mariah Carey and Beyoncé Changed the Music Business

BY: GURU JAY
Music fans love listening to Mariah Carey and Beyoncé Knowles. The sparkling songstress Mariah has dominated for decades. And Queen Bee doesn’t appear to be abdicating her throne right now.
Hero was the first Carey song I remember hearing. Her elegant voice connected with my soul. Moreover, I can listen to Mariah forever.
Survivor was the first Destiny’s Child music video I recall watching. Ever since, I’ve always known Knowles was bound for greatness. She’s developed into an irreplaceable juggernaut.


Because the delightful diva left the group on good terms, a Destiny’s Child reunion tour is very possible. I suggest sister Solange Knowles come on board. They just need to do the damn thing.
I can’t downplay Mariah Carey’s importance to music. Not many come close to what she has accomplished in show business. What is more, the superstar is still capable of recording Platinum singles.
Mariah pushes her pitch to the extreme. That’s why her throat needs tender love and care. She is Minnie Riperton 2.0. In addition, Carey is in the upper echelon of entertainers.
Dream girl Beyoncé reminds me of Madonna and Diana Ross put together. Can you picture a Carey collaboration? There’s a reason the Academy continually nominates the Queen.
Even though Mariah Carey had a short stint on American Idol, the show significantly raised her profile, especially among the youth. It was the clash of the titans between Mariah and Nicki Minaj.
Every chance Beyoncé gets she sends a shout out to her hometown Houston. Tourists are exchanging their I heart New York t-shirts for I heart Texas tank tops. Meanwhile music lovers are listening to their favorite singers on I Heart Radio.
How can the Academy justify not giving Beyoncé album of the year? I watched the Grammys and was very disappointed Beck walked away with the top prize. But the diva handled the disgraceful display like a champ. She doesn’t need validation from an awards ceremony because the fans have spoken.
Imagine if Knowles focused solely on acting. She would win an Oscar. What if Carey and Knowles played in the same film? If you like music in movies, watch Dreamgirls, Cadillac Records, and Glitter.

What are your favorite Mariah Carey songs? I like My All, We Belong Together and the E=MC2 album.
Both artists respect each other’s craft. It’s clear Beyoncé benefits from Carey’s brilliant career. That’s why the celebs are good friends. Also, Carey acknowledges Queen Bee’s reign because superstars embrace the best.
Knowles has proven her talents with songs Crazy in Love, Halo, and Partition. What else can she prove? Beyoncé is the ‘baddest,’ hottest, and most electric entertainer in action.
In the words of Mariah Carey “Don’t forget about us.” Remember all she wants for Christmas is you. In my mind, Mariah Carey is the all time number 1 female vocalist.

Without question the multitalented Beyoncé is the complete package. How does she move like that on the dance floor? Didn’t Jennifer Lopez say, “You’re mesmerized by the size of it?”

Mariah Carey and Beyoncé changed the music business by dominating the market. Both musicians firmly established their imprints on the industry. Plus, they’re every man’s fantasy.

Al Green Alicia Keys authentic Beyoncé Bruno Mars Celebrities change Entertainment Guru Jay Justin Timberlake Katy Perry Mariah Carey Marvin Gaye Maxwell Miguel Music Robin Thicke Singers Usher

How Maxwell and Miguel Changed Music

BY: GURU JAY

Maxwell independently produces his music. So the media rarely features the singer/songwriter in headlines. Still, the soulful musician ranks favorably in the upper echelon.
Maxwell is a mixture of Al Green and Marvin Gaye. Who’s smoother in style and voice than Maxwell? His closest contemporaries are Justin Timberlake, Usher, and Robin Thicke.
Preservation is key in all things; and, Maxwell has preserved his vocal chords allowing him more minutes in the studio and show time. His passion inspires and engages many listeners.
The media always glosses over Miguel’s excellence. They magnify Bruno Mars and Katy Perry at the expense of other great music artists. Miguel may not have 2 billion YouTube views or 10 million fake Twitter followers, but he has an authentic sound.

Along with strong songwriting skills, Miguel has Beethoven’s ear and Van Gogh’s eye for detail. When Miguel starts touring the world, his target audience will gravitate to him because he’s already laid a firm foundation. Furthermore, it’s critical for celebrities to raise their profiles.
I can literally listen to only Maxwell and Miguel music all day. This Woman’s Work and Adorn are two of my favorites. Name your favorite Maxwell and Miguel songs.
While driving from class, I frequently heard Miguel’s Sure Thing on the radio. I eventually found the song on YouTube and learned more about Miguel. Now, I’m a big a fan. By the way, Sure Thing should have won a Grammy.
Since music changed, musicians had to adopt. What is more, Maxwell and Miguel forever changed music because they’re uniquely different from typical singers. Neither artist is against experimenting. In fact, they’re known to try new things.
Beyoncé, Mariah Carey and Alicia Keys have collaborated with Maxwell and Miguel. Divas bring their most expensive goods. And the best work with the best.

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.
