Why We Want Norah Jones

Don’t know why we want Norah Jones? I’ll tell you. We want her for a host of reasons. We want Norah Jones for bragging rights.
Who sings sweeter than the sweetest? Can you keep up with Jones’ sound? The musician can sing in multiple genres. Jazz and Country are her specialties.
Nothing beats her delicate touch. You’ll fall in love with Norah’s pitch. Also, she approaches music with gratitude and respect. It is a privilege to watch this songstress in action.
Listening to Norah Jones defuses stressful days. Moreover, she adds pleasure to many enjoyable moments. Amazing is the best adjective to describe this woman’s work. Shout out to Kate Bush and Maxwell.
Did you know Billboard named Norah Jones Jazz Musician of the decade? This means she bested Kenny G. Could it be that Jones’ voice is a saxophone? 
Imagine listening to Chasing Pirates when sailing on a ship. Get lost in the lyrics of Come Away With Me. Throughout her career she’s made the most out of her talent. She never neglected her gifts. Plus, she paid her dues.
Maybe, Miranda Lambert and Jones can get together.
If Miles Davis was the common denominator, then Norah is the common numerator. Simply put, she’s got our number. The celebrity compares favorably to yoga instructors when it comes to flexibility. Others could learn from this special music artist.
Her concerts frequently sell out because the Texas Longhorn is a rare breed. She mixes ingredients better than Samantha stirs stew on Bewitched. Yet, Norah Jones seems pure.
She insists on opening doors rather than closing them. The celebrity can change on command. We value adaptability in entertainers. Who else can cut a song with Carrie Underwood and Herbie Hancock?
In a nutshell, she gives us everything. That’s why we want Norah Jones.

Bee Gees + The Beach Boys = Too Much Heaven and Good Vibrations

BY: GURU JAY

Bee Gees and the Beach Boys songs are timeless pieces. Take for instance these following lyrics:
We’re living in a world of fools
Breaking us down
When they all should let us be
We belong to you and me
Ain’t that the truth?! We spot fools everyday.
How about this?
The Midwest farmer’s daughters really make you feel alright
And the Northern girls with the way they kiss
They keep their boyfriends warm at night…
I wish they all could be California girls
What’s better than receiving California love?
Between the Beach Boys and Bee Gees you can’t go wrong. I listen to the bands to calm my nerves. Put on Surfin USA and that will do the trick. After listening to the record all you can think about is beach balls and Pina Coladas.

It’s a fun way to relax. Try playing Stayin Alive when you’re feeling in a bad mood. It works. I feel like the world needs good music.
Nowadays, they don’t make hits like they did in the past. That’s why we gotta do a Throwback Thursday (TBT) on Wednesday. No one sings like Barry Gibb.
Listen to Barbra Streisand and Barry Gibb’s Guilty. “Little by little we meet in the middle. There’s a danger in the dark. You gotta be mine.” There’s no doubt that is a top 10 duet of all time.
Plus the Beach Boys are a top 5 band. Their music is still heard all over the globe. Yes, Elvis was a legend but he was a 1 man show. Brian Wilson, Mike Love, Bruce Johnston, Al Jardine, and David Marks made their mark on American music history.
Finally, the Beatles weren’t the only great band from the United Kingdom. How about the band of brothers? 3 brothers named Barry, Robin, and Maurice forever changed the sound of music, especially in England.
You combine the 2 bands and you get U.S. and U.K. Ambassadors. Bee Gees + The Beach Boys= Too Much Heaven and Good Vibrations.

How The Beatles Created Seismic Waves

BY: GURU JAY

  

The Beatles created seismic waves while on their world tours. No other group has wielded as much influence in music as these 4 individuals from Liverpool, England. George Harrison’s guitar and Ringo Starr’s drums could fetch millions of dollars on Amazon. John Lennon’s lyrics actually hypnotize you. And Sir Paul McCartney’s Grammys were designed to serve a purpose.
Fans went wild during the Beatles performances. Laryngitis was a common ailment at concerts since girls literally screamed at the top of their lungs. Plus security was super tight because the Beatles maintained a high profile.
Moreover, the Fab Four’s effect on entertainment is still felt. The rock stars rocked the industry- taking all its marbles. Do you know how extremely difficult it would be to duplicate their success right now?

There are more than just a few chapters dedicated to the Beatles in the book of pop culture. Paul McCartney and John Lennon have a couple chapters written exclusively for them. You see music has always been and will forever be a major component of world history. From Mozart and Beethoven to the Beatles and beyond, organized sounds intrigue us.
 
Jimi Hendrix loved the Beatles. He covered Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band soon after the album debuted. All the legends recognized the English band’s greatness and fandom.
 
The band of brothers have sold over 65 million albums. It seems every song they created was a hit. My favorite ones are Hey Jude, All You Need Is Love, Revolution, Let It Be, and Come Together. Astonishingly, we can connect through their music. Tell me your favorites.

And so, the stage is set. Shout out to Paul, John, George, and Ringo. Or you could scream.

What Is U2 Without Bono?

BY: GURU JAY
What is U2 without Bono? Bono is not only the backbone of U2 he is the mastermind. Everyday seems like St. Patrick’s Day for Bono, because the Irish celebrity makes it a point to celebrate. Give him some credit. Like Visa, he’s accepted everywhere.
Bono can go to Africa and Africans will accept him over there. In addition, his Humanitarian and philanthropic efforts are appreciated. I feel he would make a great Ambassador. He has a big heart made out of gold. Watch Bono interviews and you’ll clearly see he wants to make the world a better place.
He reminds me of John Lennon a lot. You’ll want to check out my John Lennon postafter reading this story. Also, name your favorite U2 and Bono songs in the comments. Beautiful Day gets me going. 
 
I believe celebrities should take stances on important issues even when wrong. Don’t you hate political correctness? At the same time, we hate seeing celebrities used as puppets. Don’t sell us out for chicken scratch. And don’t chicken out either.
Can you picture meeting Bono? Would you be starstruck? You see Bono is definitely one of my VIPs. Plus, U2 is #2 in my Top 10 European Bands of All Time ranking. Bands don’t work without bandleaders and Bono is the don.
Bono, Adam Levine, Chris Martin, and Thom Yorke are in the same league. Many good singers lack Bono’s charisma. However, the great ones all have charismatic personalities. This doesn’t mean they’re all extroverts.

Beyoncé, Bruno Mars, and Prince are reserved. Still, their inner qualities shine for the whole world to see their glowing personas. Christina Aguilera is another sexy supernova. Here’s why Christina Aguilera is the Voice.
It takes courage to do what Bono has done. As an activist, the U2 singer earns more respect.
Overall, Bono gets my vote.

2 Words That Describe Sam Smith

BY: GURU JAY

Aren’t you tired of all these catchy commercialized pop songs? All they are just jingles. They may sell like bubblegum but don’t market it to me as music. Call it Juicy Fruit for all I care.
When the wind blows and there’s a thunderstorm, that’s true music. We yearn to hear the lion’s roar for a change. Music should be a natural gift not a Christmas present.
Thankfully, great musicians still exist. Sam Smith is one of the greatest singers alive. I had to unplug my headphones when I listened to him today because his music must be absorbed and not constrained.
I published a piece called English Music Royalties you will enjoy. Sam Smith puts his heart and soul into each note. It’s easy to tell that the remarkable music artist is passionate about his craft. Plus, his fans love him to death.
The English musician is a classic storyteller. If Hemmingway could sing how he wrote, he would sing like Sam Smith. I know Shakespeare would appreciate Writing’s On The Wall. Like Stephen King, who can write anything and make it great, Sam Smith can sing anything and make it great.
Can you imagine Smith singing See You Again? Charlie Puth said in an interview that his sensational song was meant for Sam Smith. I’m actually glad Smith let Puth do it in a way, because that was Puth’s big break. You see Sam Smith isn’t a vulture.
Moreover, he doesn’t need to stab somebody in the back to get ahead. Although the music business may be cutthroat, Mr. Smith is not. He’s only clean-shaven. Anyway, even when he grows out a beard it’s always neat.
2 words describe Sam Smith: Class and Professionalism. The celebrity distinguishes himself from average entertainers because he never settles for mediocrity. Smith strives for perfection.
I believe in striving for perfection through practice. Greatness comes after purposeful preparation. You want a better world, then built it. Construct places filled with positive people. You’re a composite of the people you talk to and spend your time with the most. Avoid negative and pessimistic individuals who minimize your contributions, and seek out new friends who will lift you up.

Worship the Queen of Pop: Madonna

BY: GURU JAY

Worship the Queen of Pop. Madonna receives adulation from millions of enthusiastic fans. Madge flipped the script by entertaining crowds while you watch the throne.
Madonna is all on my Twitter. Images from her Rebel Heart Tour are fascinating. Right now The Material Girl is in Melbourne, Australia cutting the rug.
Money isn’t a concern for the future billionaire. Few folks can compare to her level of popularity. Her fandom and fame reaches absurd heights.
We’re talking about diehard fans willing and ready to do anything to make her happy. Honor Madonna because the celebrity exceeds limitations at concerts. Also, the world warmly embraces the star.
She aims to please. And Madonna serves her guests the best bread and finest wines. What’s better than her amazing performances?
Aren’t you a little Madonna stalker? What are your favorite albums? How many concerts have you been to?
You see the red carpet unravels wherever the Hollywood star walks. True followers throw rose pedals at her feet. Your dream job is to serve as Madonna’s personal assistant.
Imagine what the pop star’s lifestyle must be like. She lives higher on the hog than Princess Kate. The sex symbol engages with the most interesting people on a daily basis. Plus, she truly loves her profession.

I hear the haters saying, “Royalty doesn’t need to work.” My answer is Madge doesn’t have to work either. She works because The Queen of Pop has a reputation to uphold.
In my book, Madonna became a legend years ago. I rarely call a living person a legend because I feel you’re whole body of work should be evaluated first. However, Madonna is an exception to the rule.
What is more, Madonna’s influence on popular culture is felt from continent to continent, country to country, state to state, city to city, and person to person.
Final thought, would you go crazy after meeting Madonna for the very first time…Like A Virgin?
