How Pharrell Williams Became Popular

BY: GURU JAY


The Voice coach Pharrell Williams created ‘Happy’ and the rest is history. Honestly, I didn’t like the song at first. You see, I thought it was a rip-off of the nursery rhyme “If you’re happy and you know it, clap your hands.” But you could argue “there is nothing new under the sun.”
I changed my mind about the song after realizing its effect on people. Mass hysteria overrides prejudices. For the record, I’ve always liked Pharrell Williams because he’s a cool cat.
It’s that the world just recently discovered his coolness and greatness. Pharrell’s personality draws people in. Plus, the musician simplifies complex rhythms.

Is Pharrell a rapper? Or is he a singer? No doubt he uses his voice to create good music. What is music but a universal language?
Pharrell became popular by first collaborating with top talent. Before going solo, he was a part of the Neptunes and NERD. Initially, like Dr. Dre and Kanye West, he was in the back of the studio making hot beats.
Snoop Dogg took a liking to him because of his keen ear for music. That’s how come Pharrell made major contributions to hits like ‘Beautiful’ and ‘Drop It’s Like It Hot.’ Also, the artist helped develop ‘Blurred Lines’ with Robin Thicke.

Unfortunately for them, the late Marvin Gaye’s family won a lawsuit against Williams and Thicke. Nonetheless, the song was commercially successful. Furthermore, Happy was a world famous phenomenon.
What if more rappers chose to create positive songs? You see I enjoy all types of music. However, there is more than enough room for every sound.
I admire the musicians who act responsibly. Can’t we hold celebs accountable? After all, don’t fans buy their products?
In short, expect Pharrell Williams to keep swinging for the fences. So long as he’s up at the plate, he’ll make the most of it. He has an opportunity to become a walking and living legend like Reggie Jackson.

Experience the Creative Sounds of Carlos Santana

BY: GURU JAY

Have you heard Carlos Santana’s electric guitar? How can I describe the creative sounds of Carlos Santana? Imagine paradise.
Have you noticed the best entertainers are eccentric? Like other celebrities, Santana has pet peeves. You see the music artist knows exactly what he wants do, and where he needs to go.
After nearly 50 years of activity, he hasn’t slowed down yet or missed a beat. It’s safe to say he follows the law of self-preservation. How about sipping some champagne in his honor?

If you desire to master the science of electricity, apprentice under an electrician. If you desire to master the arts of the electric guitar, utilize Carlos Santana as your mentor. What is more, the dynamic music artist is willing to teach.
Nowadays, finding exemplary entertainers is extremely difficult. Understandably, no one wants to lose his or her edge. That why some singers seem sketchy.
They think one hit will suffice. That’s when you realize how precious the Mexican sensation is to true artistry. You know that Santana sacrificed blood, sweat, and tears.

Plus, his passion resonates with people. His music connects with Latin America as well as the whole world. I’ve heard him do some things I thought only Jimi Hendrix could do.

Who else can make his guitar talk like Oprah? What other guitarist receives as much respect as Carlos Santana? If you search his music catalog, I guarantee you’ll find hidden gems. Discovering this music artist is similar to walking on the moon.
Finally, his sound harmonizes a performance. Singers can feel his powerful presence on a song. How amazing is this musician?
It is a magnificent sight beholding his beautiful music. Don’t you enjoy his creative sounds? Unfortunately, practicing day and night won’t get you to where Santana is now.

I believe his abilities are God-given.

John Mayer Vs. Mark Ronson: Who is the Best Entertainer?

BY: GURU JAY
Is it ever too late to learn how to play the guitar? Instrumentals are just as invaluable as vocals. Does John Mayer’s voice beat Mark Ronson’s instruments?

Without question, Mayer’s vocal chords destroy Ronson’s, because Mark doesn’t sing. Who do you think is better overall as a complete entertainer? For me Mayer is more talented, but Ronson is more creative. 

To simultaneously play an instrument and carry a tune exceptionally well like the ‘Gravity’ singer, requires phenomenal skills. However, Ronson’s creativity scores are unbelievable. Remember he scratches and cuts records in addition to producing.
Why do you think everybody wants to collaborate with the ‘Oh My God’ hit maker? For two things, he is invisible and invincible.
Right now Mark Ronson is hotter than John Mayer. But that might change in the near future. Mayer is seeing Katy Perry, and you know Katy keeps bleeding his love.
Unfortunately, I have a feeling John messed over Taylor Swift pretty badly. That’s why it seems she made ‘Bad Blood’ with a vendetta. But what girl wouldn’t want to date the $10 million man? That’s right, according to Billboard, John earned over seven zeroes last year.
In contrast, Mark maintains a low profile. Some people prefer working behind the scenes. Sometimes great directors make more money than the greatest actors. In a sense, Mark Ronson is the Michael Bay of music.

‘Uptown Funk’ and ‘Feel Right’ are definitely two songs in my queue.
The difference between Mark and John is, I don’t believe Ronson wants to be famous. But, Mayer seems to care immensely about his popularity. In entertainment, fame and money rarely come separately. And of course, bullshit is included too.
Actually, John plucks the strings stronger than Mark. Clearly, Ronson’s sound reaches more ears because he has an array of associated acts. For the most part, Mayer’s only musical companion is his trusty guitar.

Overall, I choose John Mayer as the best entertainer because he is a consistent storyteller, who has punctually arrived.

Ariana Grande ballads Bruno Mars Celebs duets Entertainment Fan Base followers Guru Jay Just the Way You Are Love the Way Music Problem Serenade Singers The Weeknd Uptown Funk Vevo YouTube

What If Bruno Mars and Ariana Grande Sang Duets Together

BY: GURU JAY



Can you picture Bruno Mars and Ariana Grande singing duets together? You know Ariana Grande and Bruno Mars have taken music to a higher level. They’re on top of the totem pole.
Plus, they bring youthful energy to every song. That’s why their YouTube channels generate billions of views. What is more, the singers make music everyone can listen to.
It’s amazing how they control their pitch and tone. I would like Ariana Grande to voice my GPS. And Bruno Mars will sing my theme music.
These singers are in another stratosphere. Every girl loves hearing ‘Just the Way You Are’ because it’s perfect! Also, I have no problem with the way the ‘Problem’ musician sings.

As great as the Weeknd is, he’s no Bruno Mars. Replace the Weeknd’s part on ‘Love Me Harder’ with a Bruno Mars version. Wow, wouldn’t that be incredible?
You see, the musicians have built fortresses for  fan bases. Musically, there is hardly anybody better than them, which is scary because they’re neither one is even 30 years old. In fact, Ariana hasn’t turned 25 yet.
Something tells me Ariana Grande will get her chance to perform at the Super Bowl like Bruno Mars . It wouldn’t surprise me if she does the National Anthem and Half Time show, numerous times in her career.

Who wants some concert tickets? Is Bruno Mars Superman, because his talent is beyond Planet Earth? How many days does it take you to get ‘Uptown Funk’ out your head?


It takes me 3 days to get Bruno’s songs out my brain. So, I listen to his music once about every 4 days. I’m convinced Bruno Mars is capable of brainwashing the masses.
Moreover, the whole world likes these music artists mainly because of their modesty. It seems like they’re unaware of their effect on people’s eardrums. Or maybe, it’s all an illusion.
One thing I do know is after Ariana Grande hits 3 high notes, she’s got you hooked. There’s no denying that she makes addicting music. Fans can’t wait until she goes on tour again.
Fans feel the same way about Bruno Mars. Who serenades better than the Hawaiian? Let’s get the Bruno Mars/Ariana Grande duet campaign officially started.

Who Feels Gleeful? Lea Michele Vs. Naya Rivera

BY: GURU JAY
There is a lot to be happy about. Cheer up! Take a break. Treat yourself to this story. Have fun!

Who thought Glee would last forever? Great things require closure. Glee was a great show with a great cast. Moreover, Glee cast members Lea Michele and Naya Rivera stood out because of their greatness.
I really don’t know how the show managed to maintain the two phenomenal actresses under contract for so long. You look back and see a program with limitless possibilities. Lea and Naya are fine actresses and amazing musicians. It is a joy watching their careers launch off from their starting points.
I’m firmly against bandwagon jumping. I’m an Early Adopter. And I’m a diehard supporter.
I support Lea Michele and Naya Rivera as individuals and brands, because they are more than rising stars. They are shooting stars! The elite Latina entertainers have everybody chitchatting.
I pay close attention to trends and tune out gossip. By checking up on who is hot, you learn what is happening now. I like Lea and Naya because they’re hard workers with easygoing attitudes.

Do you like it easy? Well, if you watch YouTube videos, just type Glee into the search bar. You’ll find awesome content by simply clicking your left mouse button, or punching your enter key.
Most Glee cast members are underrated as singers and entertainers, because the show ran effortlessly for 7 straight years. Fans value this consistency. Furthermore, everyday the Latinas are becoming more beautiful.
I estimate Naya and Lea get more money from beauty endorsements than acting and singing.
Imagine you were tempting like them. Picture living in a SoCal Mansion overlooking the Pacific Ocean. Have you mailed Papi his postcard yet?
Ironically, Rivera and Michele represent a gleeful lifestyle. There is not a care in the world they need to worry about. The moral of the story is: get those bills paid on time, and do what makes you happy.

Where Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens Are Now

BY: GURU JAY
Disclaimer
Vanessa Hudgens and Zac Efron are walking a tightrope because they’re at a crucial point in their careers. Hopefully, Hudgens and Efron won’t lose their sex appeal to hardcore drugs. Still, Hollywood entices young stars to live carelessly. A wise chief said: don’t judge a man until you walk two moons in his moccasins.

Photogenic Vanessa Hudgens receives a lot of attention on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. There isn’t one bad picture of Vanessa floating around in cyberspace. Have you even seen her face without makeup?
Picture Vanessa Hudgens giving free hugs to 1,000 people. Hudgens and more celebs should go out of their way to interact with fans. What does it take to acknowledge followers?

Why isn’t Zac Efron in Magic Mike 2? Would Zac outshine Channing Tatum?
Right now, the High School Musical stars could have graduated with doctoral degrees. Efron and Hudgens are in transitional periods. If Hollywood stars practice patience as a virtue, and make time for rehearsals, they will succeed in whatever endeavor. If they get lazy and rest on their laurels, then failure is always an option.

Efron and Hudgens must prove themselves again as adults. How many child stars lose is it as grownups? Fortunately, Zac and Vanessa are multi-talented. If acting doesn’t pan out for them, they can turn to music.
Many prominent entertainers perform on Broadway. My main advice to celebrities is: don’t land on Dancing with the Stars until you’re 50th birthday. Dancing with the Stars targets washed-up has-beens. Nobody really wants to be on the show except for the overpaid judges.

Don’t get me wrong. It’s a watchable program. But, Hudgens and Efron bring more to the table. I can see Vanessa in romantic comedies and scary movies. I can imagine Zac as a science fiction and fantasy actor.

As long as you’re educated, your future tends to be bright. Don’t forget the best education is experience.

American Idol Beach Celebs dreams entertainers Guru Jay Hollywood Stars Jordin Sparks Leona Lewis Love Music New School Old School pop Sade Smooth Jazz Songs Vacation X Factor

How Sade, Leona Lewis, and Jordin Sparks Are Similar and Different

BY: GURU JAY

If you want easy listening on your weekend, Sade will do the trick. I’m sure if Billie Holliday were alive now, she would fancy Sade’s music. What is more, the Solider of Love romanticizes and motivates a multicultural army.
If you really want to be famous, find a mentor. If you’re already a celebrity, study your idols closely. Sade is an American Idol/ X Factor in her own right.

As you may know, Leona Lewis won X Factor in 2006. You may also know, after hearing Bleeding Love, it takes 48 hours to get the song out my head. Have you heard I See You? Look out for Leona’s I Am to soon hit shelves.

Jordin Sparks won American Idol in 2007. Today, she offers only the best goods made in the USA. Have you checked out her Right Here, Right Now album yet?
Sweet Sade performs wonders with her rosy voice. Her music reaches across generations. Daddy and daughter can dance to her beat.
Sade, Leona Lewis, and Jordin Sparks have striking similarities. Their soft sounds are coveted and comforting. What girl wouldn’t want to sing like these three?

Sade serves as a prime example for entertainers. If you’re a performer, always keep practicing. If there is one thing Sade can teach you, it is the value of persistence.
The main difference is Sade attended classes at the Old School. Leona and Jordin learn at the New School. Also, Sade stays true to the Smooth Jazz genre. On the other hand, Sparks and Lewis are premiere pop music stars.
I like Sade’s mysteriousness, Leona’s meekness, and Jordin’s perkiness. Plus, I believe they are beautiful souls, who donate money and time, and expect nothing in return. When I vacation at the beach, grant me my solace along with music by Sade, Leona Lewis, and Jordin Sparks.
