Ava Max Brands Britney Spears Celebrity Debut Album Dua Lipa Entertainment Heaven & Hell Kings & Queens Lady Gaga Music music videos Singers Whitney Houston

Ava Max Is the Real Thing

    Ava Max will release Heaven & Hell, her debut album, on September 18th. Expectations are high for the Milwaukee native. The question is: will she exceed them? The 26-year-old singer is signed to Atlantic Records. That’s a big deal.
    Like Dua Lipa, Ava Max’s potential is huge. I expect her name to ring bells for years to come. I’ve already listened to many of her songs, and I can attest to her high-quality sound. The definition of great music is originality. There is no one else in the business that sounds quite like Ava. That’s why music fans can expect a durable brand.
    Her name is short and sweet. Plus, she’s laid the groundwork by releasing songs and music videos ahead of time. As someone who likes watching the stars, I can say she’s headed toward stardom. Let’s revisit this blog post in five years, and you’ll find what I say is true. I’ve seen stars burn out and lose their shine. Watch Ava Max glow in due time.
    She started in the entertainment industry in 2016. Four years later, the world is watching her develop into greatness. What titles will she claim? The Kings and Queens singer pays homage to music royals. If she plays her cards right, she’ll be an ace in showbiz. Music is like playing poker. Everyone isn’t Lady Gaga.
    I predict Ava Max will rise to the occasion and exceed expectations. Music fans are dying for a brand new voice. Music moves fast. Not too long ago, Britney Spears dominated the industry. Now, I feel the market share is up for grabs. Everyone, who wants a piece, should get a slice of the pie. Time tells a lot of things. It’s only a matter of time before Ava Max shows she is the real thing. “Ain’t nothing like the real thing, baby!’

Brandy Celebrities Entertainment Hit Different Hitmaker Lyrics Music music videos R&B Singers soul music Spotify SZA The Weekend

SZA: a Difference and Hitmaker

    Days ago, SZA released Hit Different. Who can deny the artist’s creativity? Not only did she record the song, but she directed the music video too. Who does that? DJ Khaled? Seriously, after watching the video a few times I can say SZA is a difference and hitmaker in the music industry. Hit Different is exactly as advertised. It has a unique twist. Plus, it’s unlike anything you have heard this summer. We have two weeks of summer left.

SZA’s Big Future
    
    The entertainment business is lucky to have this celebrity. This is the start of something special. She could direct movies in the future. Check out the music video here. As summer comes to a close, I want to nominate SZA for having the song of the summer. Although Hit Different is a late edition, it is a fine addition. Can I compare her with Brandy? That’s a fair comparison. I would love to hear her sing I Wanna Be Down. The songstress has the look going for her, the singing chops, and so much more.
    
    Born in St. Louis, Missouri, the 29-year-old is reaching her full potential. SZA is a difference and hitmaker. The Recording Academy adores her. To date, she has been nominated for 9 Grammys and counting. I like the team surrounding SZA. I’m not talking about the Kansas City Chiefs, but she is a team player.
    
    SZA’s popularity is rising because her music keeps getting better. Growth is the name of the game. I can teach you how to grow your audience, but first, you must make up your mind. If you want to be a singer, you’re in the right place. Learn from the best. She makes a difference. Plus, she makes hits. What are your favorite singles by the artist? 
    
    You should add SZA to Spotify, listen to her on iTunes, and support your girl. She is going places. She has been around the world. Her music reaches millions. I would like to think of her as Brandy 2.0. People are too busy comparing Brandy with Monica to see what’s in front of their faces. In many ways, the two artists SZA and Brandy are alike as far as their music catalogs. Their styles and appeals are similar. Plus, they dominated their eras. 
    
    The Weekend singer has a big future. Hit Different could become her biggest hit that’s also a difference-maker. She’s making bold moves. She has all the record labels and corporations on alert. They recognized she’s a valuable asset, who is growing by leaps and bounds. The summer belongs to SZA. This is her time to shine.

Best Blogs Celebrity Creativity Dr. Dre Drake Entertainment Explicit Lyrics Guru Jay Hip Hop Ice Cube K-Dot Kendrick Lamar Music Music Blog music videos rap music rappers Showbiz Taylor Swift Tyga

The Explicit Lyrics of Kendrick Lamar

BY: GURU JAY
Kendrick Lamar crafts clever wordplay like a Scrabble champion. His music can rile up and/or rejuvenate the masses. Don’t tempt him unless you want the repercussions. Like Ice Cube said, “check yourself.” You see like Common, Kendrick’s voice registers with Joe Public and that means something.
So, where do you rank Kendrick Lamar among the best in the rap game? I feel he is a highly rated player on par with Tyga. Actually, he is better than Tyga (who is great btw) I just couldn’t resist writing that cool sentence. You see Kendrick Lamar doesn’t have many equals in Hip Hop and it’s an injustice.
Combine talent, naturally/ God-given gifts, and work ethic and you get Kendrick Lamar. It doesn’t take Einstein to solve the K-Dot equation. Staying committed to the cause/ provides a way out of the clause.

Plus Kendrick Lamar makes some of the best music videos in the industry. His Poetic Justice video featuring Drake deserves an honorable mention. And Taylor Swift’s Bad Blood is one featuring Kendrick that should get recognized more often. 
Society needs music in order to thrive. Music keeps humanity off the brink of extinction. What would you do without art?    
Who knows? In a couple of years, Kendrick will be the number 1 favorite overtaking the likes of Drake. He can record underground mix tapes and mainstream pop songs alike.

The explicit lyrics and originally creative content of Kendrick Lamar defines his greatness. Replay the Recipefeaturing Dr. Dre for the full whammy as he pours out his overflowing juices. Rhyme comes easy to the Compton rapper because it’s hard enough “living just enough for the city.”
Sometimes, I swear he should be a comedian because of his sound effects. Martin Lawrencehas an entertainment effect. “Martin had a dream. Martin had a dream. Kendrick have a dream.”

How Lady Gaga Makes Bold Moves

BY: GURU JAY


How does Lady Gaga stay relevant when most of her peers fade out of the limelight? You see Gaga is hot right now because she makes bold moves. First, the celebrity gambled on Art Pop. Then she toured with Tony Bennett, which was weird, but she received a big boost from it. As a result, she scored a Barnes and Noble endorsement deal alongside the legendary Tony.
I don’t know about you but my Twitter feed was blazing because of Lady Gaga’s role on American Horror Story. Just when so-called authorities counted Lady Gaga out, she raised the stakes. Remember, we’re talking about a one of a kind entertainer here.
In case you didn’t know, I believed in Lady Gaga in the beginning stages. I made a bold move by publishing this piece called Why Madonna Must Answer to Lady Gaga. My skin grew thick 3 inches because of that article alone. The lesson is haters are gonna hate, but like Taylor Swift I’m just gonna shake- shake it off.


I like Lady Gaga’s music. Plus, I appreciate her dedication and drive. She doesn’t sleep on fans, but does she sleep with them? In every way, Lady Gaga is a sex symbol. The fact she’s gothic separates her from your everyday sex symbol.
Lady Gagaexpresses her emotions without sobbing and sending invitations to her pity party. The musician goes beyond the music. She challenges society’s perceptions and problems.
Perhaps, Poker Face is her all time greatest hit. But I don’t believe she’s finished topping the charts yet. Hasn’t she clearly demonstrated her devotion to singing and the performance arts?

Recently, Gaga and Kendall Jenner made the headlines at Marc Jacobs Show. Add model to Gaga’s resume. Anyone can see the girl is fearless. She’s comfortable walking on stage, singing on stage, dancing on stage. It doesn’t matter. Like Demi Lovato, she’s asking the world what’s wrong with being confident.
Lady Gaga deserves your full attention. I’m not easily won over and I wasn’t Gaga’s supporter from day 1. However, after listening to her music, watching her music videos, and seeing her interviews, on the 3rd day I determined she was great. Greatness recognizes greatness.

I was put off by her boldness at first. But that has been her calling card. That’s why I believe the Lady will be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

I’ve been a writer for 15 years. If there’s one thing I believe in, it is freedom of speech…The First Amendment of the Bill of Rights. Unfortunately, I’m beginning to notice how celebrities are losing privileges and hard earned money because they express publicly how they feel privately. It seems celebrities no longer own or control themselves.

They’re effectively censored or silenced by corporations for voicing what’s deemed to be politically incorrect. That’s flat out wrong because there are two sides to a story. This may end up stagnating society. How can our country make progress if we’re only in one frame of mind?
Give it up for Lady Gaga because she speaks her mind. It doesn’t appear she’s owned and controlled by a corporate entity. Whether or not you agree with her on the issues, at least respect the fact she’s bold enough to state her positions.

Celebs Ciara dance Guru Jay Hip Hop Law of Attraction Law of Self-Preservation multitalented Music music videos pop stars R. Kelly sex appeal Singers Stevie Wonder superstars Trey Songz Usher

Ciara, Trey Songz, and the Laws of Self-Preservation and Attraction

BY: GURU JAY

If the first law of nature is self-preservation, then the second law is attraction. Through the years, Ciara and Trey Songz have preserved their talents and attracted large crowds. Today, they are both firmly established superstars.
Ciara

I’ve listened to Ciara since junior high school. All the girls envied the young entertainer. You see, Ciara put herself in a dominant position in the beginning. That’s why she still maintains a high profile more than a decade later.
While others have faded into irrelevancy, Ciara resurfaces at the perfect time. At night she glows in the dark, and in the morning she is your sunshine. All she has to do is smile to lighten up your day.
At a party, the DJ turns up Ciara’s music because like John Lennon, Ciara’s lyrics hypnotize you. I’m confident ‘Body Party’ will put you in a trance. Moreover, the seductive twerker can move her body better than a professional belly dancer and stripper.

Plus, Ciara has a curvaceous and athletic figure. What record label wouldn’t want to grab up all her property? Clearly, the entertainer’s amazing sex appeal and sultry voice is an unbeatable formula.
Figuring out this celebrity is comparable to discovering the Da Vinci Code. Who else performs and produces at her level? Ciara makes Amway and Avon jealous, because the multitalented businesswoman creates dynamic downlines.
Trey Songz

I own Trey Songz’s debut album. However, the cd skips considerably. That’s why I recommend digitally downloading music in order to preserve content. It’s all about maintaining.
Trey Songz magnetizes attractive women. They lose control at his concerts because the music superstar is Casanova 2030. Additionally, the celebrity experiences longevity because he’s not scared to take a vacation.
Some people work themselves into early retirement. They forget the importance of self-preservation. Remember to stop and smell the roses, because winter comes sooner than later.
Trey Songz is a seasoned singer capable of competing with the absolute best musicians. Trey’s unique sound and ability is a mixture between Usher and R. Kelly. Songz is like Stevie Wonder. But he chooses texting rather than just calling to say “I love you.”
Plus, Trey Songz keeps up appearances in public. The media rarely paints an unflattering portrait of this music artist. Unfortunately, they hold celebrities to higher standards. I believe they should only hold celebrities accountable.
Fortunately, Ciara and Trey Songz abide by the laws of self-preservation and attraction.
