Music is entertainment’s common denominator. That’s why Paul McCartney could have been a math teacher. Picture the legend drawing slopes on your high school’s blackboard.
Fortunately, McCartney became one of the greatest musicians of all time. He’s the most famous Paul since the Apostle. With his large following, the celebrity has mass appeal.
His royal highness elevates the music world. What is more, the music world elevates him. The Beatle benefits from frequent flyer miles.

Even in remote places, Paul McCartney is popular. Furthermore, his contributions extend beyond entertainment. As a humanitarian, he’s championed causes for everyone’s betterment. But the media rarely covers celebrities doing good things. They’re too quick to damage an entertainer’s reputation.
Now at the latter stages of his illustrious career, Paul practices self-actualizing according to Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs. What else can McCartney accomplish? ‘Yesterday,’ ‘Let It Be,’ and ‘Ebony and Ivory’ are powerful pieces.
Of course I can’t get enough of ‘Hey Jude,’ ‘Revolution,’ ‘I Want to Hold Your Hand’ and other Beatle songs. I believe the Beatles are the best band ever. The Beatles laid the groundwork for One Direction. Paul McCartney led the coup d’état.

They designed Grammys for Sir Paul McCartney. The celebrated musician still reigns supreme like Miguel’s subconscious. McCartney also mentors Rihanna and Kanye West.
With 6.3 million Facebook likes and 2.2 million Twitter followers, it’s safe to say Paul has loyal fans. Moreover, the celebrity’s cultivated a diverse following of all ages, races and creeds. Any minute now, Paul can use social networks to promote viral content.

Who could have predicted 50 years ago that Paul McCartney would soon reach rock star status? Decca Records couldn’t; and rejected the Beatles. The moral of the story is to pursue your passion. Count on having setbacks. And always have a comeback.

Hollywood’s a town big enough for the both of us. Although show business seems cutthroat and ruthless, it still has a low barrier to entry. If you possess skills and talent, there’s a seat for you around Oprah Winfrey’s dining room table.
Advertising, merchandise, album, and ticket sales finance the entertainment industry. If you stay positive you’ll have massive appeal and lucrative royalty checks to show for it. In fact, royalties make up large portions of a celebrity’s paycheck.
Music Royalties
Beautiful music lyrics such as Sam Smith’s ‘Stay With Me’ and dynamic arrangements like Adele’s ‘Rolling in the Deep’ inspire my blogging. In the words of John Legend “My love” for music is “passed the infatuation phase.” There’s something extraordinary about the English sound of music.

Adele, Leona Lewis, and Sam Smith were ordinary people before becoming music royalties. They have singlehandedly transformed our listening experience with their hit singles. Whenever I listen to ‘Bleeding Love’ it stays stuck in my head for 48 hours.
Ladies and gentlemen, we’re witnessing legends in the making. Adele’s soaring popularity is on par with Katy Perry’s social media fame. Furthermore, Adele has created several staple songs capable of reaching billions, and lasting for generations to come.
TV, Radio, and the Internet
I’ll never forget this TV commercial that introduced me to Adele’s music. Moreover, I remember first listening to Leona Lewis on the radio. And, I found Sam Smith via a viral Internet video.
Music artists utilize multiple platforms to permeate their messages. Fortunately Adele, Leona, and Sam produce mainly positive and uplifting lyrics. Anyone with British background is greatly proud of these English music royalties. All three musicians connect with broad audiences and adorn genuine styles.

What Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera Meant to Music

BY: GURU JAY

Before YouTube, Facebook, and Twitter were invented, Britney Spears was a monarch social butterfly. Before Apple announced iPhones or Google created Androids, the Disney princess’s number was first in Oprah Winfrey’s Rolodex. Before technology changed the music business, Britney Spears was unquestionably the most famous person alive.
Strike while the iron’s hot
Britney Spears didn’t waste time showcasing talent, revealing assets, and selling sexuality. From the beginning, the celebrity understood branding and secured lucrative endorsements. Who can forget the critically acclaimed Pepsi Super Bowl commercial, which solidified her brand’s identity?
If Justin Timberlake’s President, then Britney’s Chancellor. Supporters are still waiting for a Britney and Justin collaboration. A duet together would propel both Spears and Timberlake.

People purchased Britney Spears’ merchandise because they identified with Britney’s background and personality. Always smiling, the superstar personified happiness. Moreover, the music artist clearly appreciated her fandom.
Name your favorite Britney Spears’ music videos, albums, and concerts.
Christina Aguilera

The sensational singer/ incredible vocalist Christina Aguilera is music’s Jennie Barbara Eden. There’s a reason why Xtina was a judge for ‘The Voice.’ Musicians respect the superstar’s ability to control pitch like Mick Jagger and Adam Levine. The entertainer isn’t a Maroon 5 member or Rolling Stone but she’s a powerful songstress.
Xtina will soon pass 14 million Twitter followers and the celebrity currently has 26 million Facebook likes. Aguilera collects social media friends like Coca-Cola collects bottle caps. Furthermore, Christina reaches millions with her wonderful performances and beautiful songs. You can’t deny Christina Aguilera’s strong effect.
Once upon a time, there was a bitter rivalry between Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera. There’s still a remnant of competition among the celebrities. The young entertainers fueled the entertainment business with their fuel-efficient drives and ferocities.

Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera meant the world to the music industry.

Bob Marley’s Legacy

Bob Marley represented more than just Reggae. The legendary singer symbolized music in all forms. If you keenly listen to lyrics, you’ll appreciate the celebrity’s creative mastery.
The Jamaican icon made songs with such ease.
The great musicians get their juices flowing in all directions. By in large, Marley’s music brings you to higher ground.
Name your favorite Bob Marley songs. My top five favorites are: One Love, Three Little Birds, Stir It Up, I Shot the Sheriff, and Bad Boys. There’s something special about the singer’s vocal command, which I can’t put to words.

Bob Marley’s legacy will last forever because his timeless music resonates with multimillions. Like Stevie Wonder, Marley’s sound cannot be replicated. There isn’t a Karaoke imitator on Earth that can fully capture Bob’s brilliance.
When you need encouragement, search through Bob Marley’s catalog. Because of his originality and skillfullness, his albums sellout quickly. Moreover, his positive message desensitizes injustice, oppression, cruelty and evilness.
Rastafarianism considers Bob Marley to be a pivotal prophet and messenger. Furthermore, the celebrity transformed popular culture with music- rallying hundreds of thousands on several continents. Despite death, the Rastafarian’s message still spreads across nations like wildfire.
From Sean Kingston to Blake Shelton, Bob Marley definitely influences modern musicians. While alive Marley lived a laidback lifestyle, where he minimized pressures and maximized pleasures. Although the musician lived in luxury, Bob identified with poor people as evidenced by his generosity.
The celebrity’s thriving story illustrates the importance of perseverance. Never allow your trials and tribulations to stop your success. Stop struggling and throwing pity parties. Essentially, be like Lady Gaga and start attending Monster Balls.
Bob Marley was not only a bricklayer but a lion in the concrete jungle.

How Katy Perry and Taylor Swift Inspire Young People

BY: GURU JAY


How do you explain majoring in music, dance or theatre to your parents? In today’s technologically advanced society, Liberal Arts degrees defy conventional wisdom. I admire those courageous few that possess passion for their artistry.
There aren’t enough artists. And there are way too many lawyers. The world needs more music.
American colleges are slashing Humanities programs in favor of sciences. That’s why I’m thankful for shows like ‘American Idol,’ ‘The Voice,’ and ‘So You Think You Can Dance.’ I love technology but I would rather stare at an Andy Warhol than a smartphone.
Katy Perry

Great art brings society together. Great music makes people dance. Katy Perry defines greatness.
Diverse crowds patronize Katy Perry’s concerts. Perry’s ‘Prismatic World Tour’ symbolizes her vision and goals. The musician’s creating rainbows and spreading a message of charity, peace and hope.
The celebrity realizes she’s inspiring young people. That’s why Katy protects her portrayal in the media. You know Hugh Hefner and Playboy desperately desire famous brunettes. 
Because Katy Perry isn’t a reluctant role model, the musician’s more popular than kings and queens. The superstar needs as much security as a presidential candidate. Katy will soon dye her hair blonde like her BFF Hillary Clinton. Remember, I predicted it first. 
Moreover, who can reach more young people than the famous ‘Firework’ singer? Katy Perry updates her fans through social networks. That’s how she stays first among music lovers.
Taylor Swift

Name one music artist richer than Taylor Swift. She’ll be a billionaire by her 50thbirthday. Many musicians idolize the ‘Blank Space’ songstress.
Like Katy, Taylor uses social media to interact with supporters. Swift’s infectious spirit inspires the youth to live out their dreams. Taylor’s swift success proves that Cinderella stories do exist.

Don’t fret over obstacles. Keep motivated and jump high hurdles. When there’s an opening, step out on faith, and maintain a steady pace.
Like Taylor you can tour the world too. You just need a passport and a dream. If you believe in yourself, the world will open up for you.

American Idol Beyoncé Celebrities Eighth World Wonder Entertainment legends Let's Get It On Marvin Gaye Motown Music purpose Sexual Healing Tammi Terrell The Voice Usher What's Going On

Why Marvin Gaye Was the Eighth World Wonder

BY: GURU JAY

Do musicians serve a purpose? Should their songs make you feel good? Are they suppose to make you dance?
The legendary Marvin Gaye gave his blood, sweat, and tears to Motown. Gaye’s songs still spark imagination and inquiry. Music gave him a platform to deliver and spread his peace loving message.
Every man must discover his calling. There’s a plan in order for everyone. Find your love and passion. Then, pursue your destiny.
Marvin Gaye was destined for greatness. The legend’s music strongly influences society and popular culture. ‘What’s Going On?’ remains relevant because Gaye understood the meaning of struggle and progress. Isn’t he an inspiration?

Marvin Gaye composed soulful lyrics. That’s why his music is timeless. The man was larger than life.
Imitation is the best form of flattery. Robin Thicke flatters the great Marvin Gaye. Gaye’s family has actually sued Thicke for copyright infringement. Thicke stole Marvin’s music, moves and mannerisms. 

Also, Usher credits Marvin Gaye. And if you listen to Beyoncé’s ballads more closely, you’ll hear an element of Marvin. From John Legend to John Mayer, music artists pay homage to his mastery.

Gaye’s smooth style and calm demeanor were natural. The charming musician created classics. Music lovers cherish the beloved musician’s albums. 
It is virtually impossible to watch a season of ‘American Idol’ or ‘The Voice’ without hearing a Marvin Gaye rendition. The entertainer went beyond the scope of music. He was a heavyweight.
Late at night, I might play ‘Sexual Healing’ or ‘Let’s Get It On.’ When I’m ready to see other people, I spin my ‘Heard it Through the Grapevine’ record. Of course I keep his duets with Tammi Terrell spinning in my head. You see Marvin Gaye was not a one hit wonder. Marvin Gaye was the Eighth World Wonder.

There wasn’t a mountain high enough, a valley low enough, or a river wide enough to keep him from fulfilling his purpose driven life.

Black Canada Celebrities club music Cuba Cubans Drake entertainers Entertainment Hip Hop Hollywood Latino Miami Music Pitbull Puerto Rico rap battles rappers Toronto

Pitbull Vs. Drake RAP BATTLE

BY: GURU JAY


Pitbull raps fast. Drake switches up his pace. The Cuban rapper uses speed to try and knockout the Canadian. In the end, who wins the rap battle?
Prepare for the unexpected when dealing with Drake. Can you explain the magnitude of his creativity? His lyrics contain poisonous words.
Like an anaconda, Drake attacks with bad intentions. Don’t play poker with the financially ‘Successful’ singer. He goes all in every hand.
Toronto supports Drake 100 percent. Also, Latinos and the urban youth respect Pitbull. What club doesn’t play either star’s music?
I’ve always said the Miami rapper should marry Jennifer Lopez. They make moving music like seasoned salsa partners. It takes two to tango. And, JLO has Pitbull’s phone number.


Have you seen Drake’s Sprite commercial? While rapping in the studio, he takes a break to obey his thirst. His song ‘Over’ forever changed rap music’s sound.
Like Prince, Drake’s songs are sensational. There are too many major Drake hits to name them all. What is more, he stays potent.

If Usher’s the club’s DJ then Pitbull’s the promoter. It’s a thrilling experience when Pitbull grabs the mic. For a moment you enter into his world, and see the bright lights through his sunglasses.
You speak a little Spanish now too.

Pitbull is the ideal celebrity because he constantly celebrates. If you’re in a festive mood, listen to a Pitbull album. Rapping for the Cuban is a deadly art form. He cremates competition with his fiery words like a dragon.
Pitbull understands his role on the entertainment scene. Who comes close to Pitbull’s pedigree? Who is more energetic?
The entertainer plays verbal gymnastics with words. Wait for his dismount. In contrast, Drake’s got style, substance and rhythm.
Who wins the rap battle between Pitbull and Drake? Chime in your comments. I am Guru Jay launching off into orbit in 5-4-3-2-1!
