Why Cher Is Amazing

BY: GURU JAY


Remember Alicia Silverstone played Cher and Stacey Dash was Dionne in Clueless. Stacey was named after superstar Dionne Warwick. And Alicia was named after the one and only Cher.

Good things happened in the 1990s. In the words of Cher “If I could turn back time…” I would warp us into 1995. Then, we’ll party like it’s 1999. R.I.P. Prince.

Do you notice how many great music artists go by 1 name? What if movie stars did the same thing? Imagine 23 Jump Street starring Channing and Jonah. #23 Michael appears in a cameo scene.

The main point is: there’s only one Cher. All the others are just imitators. So won’t the real Cher please stand up? S/O Eminem.

Like Barbra Streisand, the Cher sound is larger than life. Her vocal chords stretches to the highest degree. She owned the 1970s. We could also time travel to that era and save Jimi Hendrix.

 
Currently Cher leads 5 million Twitter and 
Facebook followers. She has sold more than
100 million records. Plus this celebrity has a net 
worth exceeding $305 million.

It’s easy to admire Cher because her career is admirable. Fans and musicians (of all stages) adore her beautiful art. You can spend the whole music appreciation class discussing her records and concerts. Who wouldn’t mind listening to a lecture on this singer?

There’s a certain boldness and rich quality to her voice. She’s finely tuned like a Steinway Grand Piano. It’s as if the one of a kind celebrity tickles the ebonies and ivories with her tonsils. How sure are we that her throat doesn’t have keys?

Teacher Appreciation Day

Alicia Keys and Beyoncé can teach Nicki Minaj. Mariah Carey can teach Ariana Grande and Meghan Trainor. Rihanna and Lady Gaga can teach Miley Cyrus. Last but not least, Cher can teach the teachers.

I feel Cher inspires maybe even Madonna. Plus 
the El Centro, California homegirl inspires the 
world. Applaud her fearlessness and courage to
take on challenges.

In closing, celebrities come and go. We 
call them stars because their glory fades 
but they shine for amoment. The truly amazing 
stars don an everlasting glow. Cher is amazing.

LL Cool J: Brand Name Recognition

BY: GURU JAY
Let’s celebrate LL Cool J. He celebrates everybody else. Now it’s his turn to be celebrated.
LL serves as a cool host for multiple awards shows. What is more, he is a multi-talented entertainer and triple threat. No telling what he’ll do when given a microphone. Ladies love Cool J that’s why he’s named that.
Over the years, his brand name recognition has quadrupled. Right now, he’s a popular character on TV. You’ve been seeing him on NCIS: Los Angeles since 2009. And you see him on his new Lip Sync Battle show. What’s LL Cool J’s biggest secret?
Could it be his six-pack? Or maybe the drive it takes in maintaining a physically fit body? Ever since Any Given Sunday and Charlie’s Angels, I thought LL Cool J and Cameron Diaz would be a nice fit. Shout out to Drew Barrymore and Lucy Liu.
TV Star. Movie Star. Rap Star. When you decide to diversify your portfolio, contact this celebrity. J created a blueprint for you. That’s why he has major brand name recognition.

 
How can we discuss Ice Cube’s Three Dimensional Vision and leave out LL Cool J, who is also a visionary and originator of music, movies, and TV. All I am saying is to give props to the originals. A generation grew up listening to- and internalizing I Need Love, Going Back to Cali, and Mama Said Knock You Out.
Who wants to see LL, Jay Z, and Master P recording music and performing together when it’s all said and done?  That would be Doin It, Big Pimpin’ and No Limit. I aim to present possibilities. It’s my duty.
LL Cool J explored all his options. He got famous. Plus he made multi-cool millions. Too many times we lock up things to the point we forget the combination to unlocking our valuables.

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.”

Why Katy Perry Gives Us Exactly What We Desire

BY: GURU JAY

  
In the beginning, Katy Perry was rubberstamped. Fans never had a problem with Katy. Perry isn’t perfect but she is exactly what we desire. She doesn’t reveal everything but she shows just enough to make you wonder.
It’s like watching a modern day Elizabeth Taylor sing on a microphone in her prime. Rarely do singers look better than actresses in bikinis. Make an exception for Katy Perry. Who wants to see her perform on the silver screen?
I think the California Gurl would be a pretty good actress. I mean she’s not going to take Julia Robert’s spot but she can take Jessica Alba’s place. Under the proper guidance, this celebrity can blossom.
Here in America, Memorial Day and Independence Day are approaching. We celebrate first and foremost by: stopping and smelling the roses, barbecuing next, later soaking up the sun, and then listening to Katy Perry music. 
Have you ever been to a Katy Perry concert? It feels like electricity is pulsating through your veins. Katy caters to fans and offers her songs in cold dishes on silver platters. She serves steaks well done or rare. It may only be 2 choices but they’re great options.
Who remembers the John Mayer and Katy Perry Who You Love duet? Wasn’t that special? Do you think she should do one with Justin Timberlake?
I dedicated a couple hours to watching KatyPerryVevo on YouTube. My favorite from today was The One That Got Away. It’s been a while since the last time I seen it. Sometimes we could use a small reminder. Otis Redding said it best, “All you gotta do is try, try a little tenderness…”
In one word Katy Perry is: PHENOMENAL. Her throat is a glorious vessel. Katy Perry does anything to please her fans. There isn’t a finer entertainer in showbiz. This is for you my number 1.

The Wonder Years of Joe Cocker

BY: GURU JAY
Growing up The Wonder Years was my favorite TV show. Boy, it had one hell of a theme song, didn’t it? Joe Cocker’s version of With a Little Help From My Friendshelped fuel my addiction to the show. What’s more, that’s how I learned about Joe Cocker.
I had to know who possessed that powerful voice in the beginning. The more I familiarized myself with the legend, the more I started feeling legendary. Joe Cocker= Legend.
He sings You Are So Beautiful, Come Together, and Up Where We Belong in heaven. He didn’t make pop songs; his music was spiritual. What would Woodstock be without Cocker? Joe was a rare find because he was a classic singer.
Most entertainers are made in a bakery. They’re cookie cutter. What you see is what you get. Joe Cocker sang from the bottom of his belly.

It all started when John Robert Cocker, OBE took Vance Arnold as his penname in 1961. Later he formed a band adding “and the Avengers” to his gig. Then there was the Grease Band and the rest is history…
Like the Beatles, Joe Cocker created seismic waves. Throughout Joe Cocker’s career, he received well-deserved recognition. In 2008, Rolling Stone named him 1 of the 100 Greatest Singers of All Time. Billboard gave him 2 other accolades-  #84 Artist 100 and #14 Social 50 in 2015.
I’m New School by date of birth, but I’m actually Old School by tradition. Bob Seger couldn’t have said it any better than this: “Today’s music ain’t got the same soul, I like that old time rock ‘n’ roll.” Moreover, Joe Cocker rocked to the limit. He lived his life up and that’s what counts. Don’t die bitter by living inhibited; die happy by living uninhibited.

Best Blogs Best Rappers Celebrity Donald Trump Drake Eminem Endorsement Deals Entertainment Guru Jay Hip Hop Hotline Bling Music Nicki Minaj Pitbull Rihanna Selena Gomez Showbiz VIPs WAR Work

Why Drake Wins the Rap War

BY: GURU JAY
There should be a law requiring Rihanna and Drake to make songs together. Who wants to help circulate this petition? Every time I drive past the 10thintersection, someone plays Work on her radio. How many times must Drake sing you should get done and come over?
Drake changed everything with Hotline Bling. Even U.S. Presidential Candidate Donald Trump parodied Drake’s music video on Saturday Night Live. The Canadian rapper has attention from VIPs and that’s why he receives VIP perks. If there’s one celebrity you want in your squad he is Drake. Justin Bieber’s cool too, but Drake’s named after an international explorer.
In this day and age of Internet Explorer, news travels fast. Bad news is supersonic speed. The Toronto Raptors love their loyal Toronto rapper. In fact, Drake said, “All I care about is money and the city where I’m from…” Nowadays loyalty seems rare.
There’s too much short term thinking and not enough long term strategizing. You’ll enjoy this piece called Pitbull Vs. Drake RAP BATTLE. You see like Pitbull and Selena Gomez Drake is an international celebrity. He can go anywhere and be recognized. That’s why he needs bodyguards and top of the line security.
A lot of rappers fake their status. Drizzy doesn’t have to because those Forbes documents are solid. His endorsement deals compare favorably to prominent athletes. Like Kobe Bryant, he signed on the dotted line with Nike and Sprite.
What’s more, his place in music is undeniable. I feel Nicki Minaj is the best female rapper. And Drake is the best rapper right now. Yes, the rankings fluctuate depending on Kanye’s Twitter activity.
Finally, in the field of war battle losses are expected. Eminem was once a superpower for a long time. However, at this stage of the game Drake wins the Rap War. Why, you ask? Because I said so…that’s why.

Why Fifth Harmony Should Stay the Course

BY: GURU JAY

Dancing and singing in synchronization is Fifth Harmony’s forte. Don’t confuse the Work From Home girl group with the Real Housewives of Atlanta, who are out of synch. Right now the spotlight is shining on Fifth Harmony. Their performances turn heads, move feet, and pop eyeballs.
Finally, Fifth Harmony has become a force to be reckoned with. From here on out expect nothing less than the best from your girls. These five will do anything to make us happy.
Plus, they make Lil Mix look like a little recipe. If Fifth Harmony is a grapefruit, then Lil Mix is a grape. You can get by on only a grapefruit for breakfast but try eating 1 grape alone.
Nicole Scherzinger needs the Pussycat Dolls as much as Camila Cabello needs Fifth Harmony. Sure, Camila Cabello could go on and have a nice solo career. However, music doesn’t need this. Music needs more Maroon 5s, Coldplays, U2s, and Metallicas.
Before jumping to a conclusion, name a top all female band that’s been around for generations. You can’t do it! Fifth Harmony has the opportunity to make music history here but they have to stay together and do it.
Rain on the parade
Camila Cabello won’t ever be more famous than Beyoncé. However, I feel Fifth Harmony can outperform and outsell Destiny’s Child though. Fifth Harmony should stay the course because their stronger collectively than separate.
College students dread the incomplete grade. Wouldn’t you rather have a C instead? Fifth Harmony has some unfinished business. They are still developing their skills. They’re good dancers, great singers, and excellent entertainers.
Overall, Fifth Harmony has the talent and potential to become legends. 10 years down the road, they could be bigger than the Spice Girls. Hopefully, they can put their egos aside and put in more work.
