Bow Down to the Queen of Psychedelic Soul: Janis Joplin

BY: GURU JAY

Elvis Presley, the Beatles, and Michael Jackson made their marks on the world over. Music was a religion to Jimi Hendrix and Bob Marley. And Miles Davis was the common denominator.
Music is a universal language. We wake up and fall asleep to the sound of music. Living on a farm, we may hear crock-a-doodle do first thing in the morning. At night the crickets chirp in synchronization making our sleeping more enjoyable. In the city the cars speed, the helicopters cop, and the train choo choos.
Now drones are the newest music brought to us by Barack Obama. Music can be organized and/or chaotic sounds. Jazz, Rap, and Rock & Roll demonstrate the different potential ranges and dynamic mechanics of music. While pop appeals to our subconscious and lower passions, the Blues showcase a ‘piece of my heart.’

Blues legend Janis Joplin helped change society. The singer stepped on the stage on purpose and carrying a message in her hand. She was well equipped with only a guitar.
The Queen of Psychedelic Soul was a figurehead of 1960s music. What would Woodstock be without Janis Joplin? In a sense, Joplin was a musical revolutionary.
Janis Joplin possessed the perfect tone. She never overcompensated. She always delivered.

American Idol contestant Crystal Bowersox covered Me and Bobby McGee on the show. Who doesn’t sing Janis Joplin’s songs? Tons of musicians strive to become like Janis Joplin because she is a masterpiece.

I love painting portraits and Janis was a fine painter. I connect with Janis Joplin spiritually and emotionally. Although I wasn’t alive for Woodstock, my spirit was there. Janis Joplin isn’t alive right now in the physical but her spirit is here with us.

Beyonce famously sung Bow Down bitches. And bitches bowed down because she is Queen Bey of the Beyhive. You must bow down to Janis Joplin too because she is the Queen of Psychedelic Soul, bitch.

Why Charlie Puth Is a Big Name

BY: GURU JAY

Charlie Puth is only in the beginning stages of a promising music career. What is more, he is multitalented and more than capable of playing the keys like a young Elton John. That’s why his vocals and piano skills are prominently displayed in the See You Again and One Call Away music videos.
Right now, the 24 year old is sending a message loud and clear with his Nine Track Mind album. Listen to Charlie Puth’s Marvin Gaye song featuring Meghan Trainor for proof. Better yet, watch this widely popular AMA performance below.

Does that have the Spiderman/ Tobey Maguire- Kirsten Dunst upside down kiss beat or what? You see Charlie beat the odds because right from the start, he didn’t care about the odds. Plus, Puth beat the odds because he’s from New Jersey.
Everybody I know from Jersey is a rough rider. If Charlie were born and raised in Wyoming, he would still be struggling as a music artist. I’m having some fun here but there’s a grain of truth to that statement.
Before becoming famous, Charlie created a YouTube channel and gained a large following. Presently his social media accounts are experiencing rapid growth in number of fans and engagement. Across the Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook platforms Charlie easily leads 5 million followers.
He sounds and looks like a mix between Ed Sheeran and Justin Bieber. As far as style, he is a straight Sam Smith. Substance-wise, his lyrics are on par with Gnarls Barkley NOT Charles Barkley.
In other words, Charlie Puth receives high marks on his creativity as a songwriter. Like Ed Sheeran, I wouldn’t be surprised if Charlie wrote a few songs for One Direction in the future. It seems Charlie Puth and Harry Styles are becoming good friends in the studio.
The music artist makes the stage his canvas. Charlie Puth is a big name because he has big potential. He is somebody to watch for years to come.

Introducing Tori Kelly

Let me introduce you to Tori Kelly. Born and raised in Southern California, the singer embraced the entertainment business at an early age. In fact, Kelly auditioned for American Idol when she was 16.
Right now, the 23 year old’s debut album Unbreakable Smile continues to sell units. Because of skyrocketing demand, producers are reissuing her album on January 29, 2016. Moreover, her upcoming concert tour should unload a busload of tickets.
I first learned about Tori Kelly after watching her perform on the Jimmy Kimmel Concert Series. Ever since then, I’ve researched her name in the search engines, listened to her music, and watched her music videos.
I believe that Tori will stay true to the music.
By and large, the singer’s discography shows a willingness to take risks. I’m of the mindset “nothing ventured, nothing gained.” Tori’s talent also takes us on adventures with songs such as City Dove.

Type Tori Kelly in the search box the next time you decide to browse YouTube videos. There’s something special about this California Lover. She is nominated for Best New Artist Grammy on purpose. She’s capable of competing with Meghan Trainor. That’s why the legendary LL Cool J and the exciting Ed Sheeran make music with her.
The I Was Made For Loving You songstress was also made for loving music. Her passion for music inspires thousands. In a couple of years, she’ll be inspiring millions without a doubt.
As far as style, Tori Kelly is a mixture of Jessie J and Alicia Keys. However, instead of banging ebonies and ivories like Keys, Kelly vigorously plucks silver guitar strings. She isn’t scared chicken shit by gossip. I believe Kelly has fully developed as a music artist. Not only is her skin thick, but it is “sho ‘nuff pretty.”

Although she’s far from her prime, she’s had 7 years since American Idol to work on her sound. I don’t jump on bandwagons I build them. Come ride the Tori Kelly express with me.

The Angelic Voice of Ariana Grande

BY: GURU JAY

The angelic voice of Ariana Grande is unlimited. Ariana sounds like a harp when she sings. You would think vocal cords have certain limitations. However, the pop singer defies conventional wisdom every time she plays her natural God-given instrument.
You see hitting high notes requires superb skills. That’s why Ariana Grande’s throat is a treasure cove. Sometimes it seems her neck can’t bear all that pain, but she stretches to her breaking point like a disciplined yogi.
The 22 year old’s body might be pint-sized but she has a gigantic voice. Moreover, the Focus songstress is determined to become a legend. Right now I believe she is an elite entertainer with some room left to grow.

Fans flock to Ariana Grande concerts because they know she’s capable of being number 1. I’m sure you’re quite familiar with Disney princesses. Well, Ariana is a Nickelodeon princess. She was a teenage star on the VictoriousTV show before becoming a superstar.
Although she’s only in her 20s, Ariana Grande has accumulated tremendous experience. I predict the pop princess will create numerous chart-topping hits in the foreseeable future. Music has never been more commercialized. I see this trend working in Ariana Grande’s favor- not because her lyrics are catchy- but because she is the prototypic dreamgirl. In other words, she delivers, baby!
Imagine Ariana Grande and Bruno Mars singing duets together.

Ariana Grande’s popularity is soaring. With 55.2 million Instagram followers and counting, it’s hard to tell her what to do. Still, everybody should listen to constructive criticism.
I believe Rihanna and Gaga can teach Grande how to handle fame because they became famous in a different way. A wise man once said: “there’s more than one way to skin a cat.” Guru Jay says “remember only to take advice if it’s good.”
I would like to wake up to the angelic voice of Ariana Grande. Also, I would like to go to bed listening to Ariana Grande. OMG (Oh My Goodness), I think I’m turning into a super-fan.

The Rising Stardom of Meghan Trainor

BY: GURU JAY


Last year Meghan Trainor rose to fame with her hit song All About That Bass. Right now Meghan’s music video has amassed over 1.2 billion views on YouTube. The rising star has a bright future.
Her clear voice commands attention. I believe Meghan Trainor could become a pop idol if she keeps up the good work. Time is on the 22 year old’s side. Moreover, working with John Legend and Charlie Puth supports her cause.
She is a fine singer, who seems to be fulfilling her dreams and potential. There are too many musicians wasting their talent. Substance abuse is often the main culprit.
Celebrities must resist temptations everyday.
Once you conquer the demons, the sky opens up for you. Trainor should stay on the right course and not get distracted.

Thank goodness the Like I’m Gonna Lose Yousinger was discovered. Born and raised in a small town in Massachusetts, Meghan now resides in Los Angeles. Though she is hardly at home because the entertainment business demands a large chunk of her time.
Trainor’s Title album was certified platinum. I have a feeling that her Thank You album will also gain platinum status. Meghan appeals to a wide demographic because she doesn’t have trouble with displaying her curves. Women should have a healthy body image like Meghan no matter their size. Be comfortable in your skin even if you’re thin.
The reason for this young entertainer’s success is that she’s different. There is nobody else like Meghan Trainor in show business. What is more, when it’s show time she turns up the temperature.
Check out her 2015 AMAs performance if you haven’t done so already. The hot blonde deserves to be on top of the Billboard Hot 100. Plus, she appears to have a good attitude. Trainor hasn’t turned into a stuck-up diva.
I believe she’s a little sweetie because she had a good upbringing. Her family pictures are all over Instagram. The Dear Future Husband songstress is a jewel. I’m happy to see the rising stardom of Meghan Trainor.

What Is Country Music Without Miranda Lambert?

BY: GURU JAY

What is country music without Miranda Lambert? Her best is yet to come. Miranda Lambert could become the next Reba McEntire or Dolly Parton. If she smartly markets her name and creates a valuable brand, she’ll have unlimited earning potential.
They say all things from Texas come in big packages. No wonder Miranda was born there. She has the biggest chops outside Oklahoma.
Back in 2003 she became a finalist on Nashville Star. 2 years later she debuted her first album entitled Kerosene. Soon after blazing country trails she set the world on fire.
Today, the country singer’s reach isn’t constrained by geography. Miranda Lambert has demonstrated she is the cream of the crop. She has proven her dynamic ability to consistently generate hits. I love listening to Lambert sing.

Her latest album, Platinum, showcases a wonderful exhibit of her talents. She is a skilled music artist driven by passion. Miranda Lambert is excited to tell a story with her carefully crafted lyrics.
Miranda’s rank falls in between Carrie Underwood and Jessica Simpson. If Carrie is a 10, Miranda is an 8 or 9, and Jessica is a solid 7 as far as music is concerned. Now, as far as attractiveness all 3 blondes are 10s.
Although Miranda Lambert’s birth records say she’s 32 years old, she could pass for 25. As you can see I am great with numbers. And Miranda produces them in the form of record sales, concert tickets, and social media. Amassing 8.5 million Facebook likes like Miranda Lambert is an impressive feat.

Like George Benson, Miranda Lambert will make it on Broadway ‘cause she can play this here guitar. The House That Built Mesongstress is a homegrown sensation. Country music isn’t the same without one of her biggest stars blessing the microphone.
Miranda’s mission is to serve mankind with her offerings. Her image is worth a king’s ransom. That’s why she graces the covers of magazines for an exorbitant fee. Most say she’s worth every penny.
What is more, Miranda means the world to country music.

Listening to Alanis Morissette

BY: GURU JAY

  
Listening to Alanis Morissette sing is like floating on a cloud and down a river. You adore Alanis because she radiates spiritual energy. Absorbing Alanis Morissette goes beyond music.
Her soulful lyrics provoke all types of emotions. Furthermore, Morissette’s music reaches everyone because she sings about happiness and hardship. The singer realizes music is a reflection of life, and she mirrors images of mankind with fine-tuned harmonies and melodies.
Alanis is on another level lyrically. Can you imagine Morissette writing lyrics for Adele, Rihanna, and Taylor Swift? I like all of them, but I believe they should outsource their songwriting duties to Alanis Morissette.
Fans and critics love Alanis due to her longevity and relevancy. The legendary musician released her Jagged Little Pill album in 1995. Can you believe Head Over Feetand Hand In My Pocket came out 20 years ago?

Right now the You Outta Know singer has won 7 Grammys. Plus she has sold over 60 million album copies.
I admire Alanis Morissette because the multi-talented entertainer refuses to be categorized.
Boy, she blows that harmonica better than most country girls. The dual Canadian and American citizen creates beautiful sounds.
People are jealous of Alanis because she’s doing what she loves. Alanis Morissette is original. Therefore, the passionate artist expresses her feelings in various ways.

Fortunately she found her calling early in life. “Some people wait a lifetime for a moment like this.” You know Morissette can finally be free.
The long hair brunette earned the right to relax more than just hair. After numerous tours and recording sessions, Alanis should start self-actualizing. I believe she recognizes her worth and won’t back down from anything.
Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs suggests that there are five levels of human needs. Reaching the final level is rare. Alanis Morissette has demonstrated she’s on another level. Astronauts are floating in space while listening to Alanis Morissette. She is literally universal.
