Once upon a time, there was One Direction (1D) and Directioners. It seems like such a long time ago, but it really has only been 1 year and 8 months since One Direction broke up for good. Were you a Directioner? Remember how big of a deal it was when Zayn Malik went solo. Now, look at the bigger picture. Everybody has gone solo.
Say it isn’t true? It seems Fifth Harmony will break up too if my sources are correct. So much for staying the course. Who thought the group was going to add another member? Maybe, One Direction will reunite someday as will Fifth Harmony.

And so, you know the story of 1D and Liam Payne. The kind and likable Liam Payne established himself in a mean and nasty music industry. Liam Payne and the establishment are one in the same because he is elite.
What ever happened to true Fandom? Why did the Beatles have to breakup? If you are an artist you’ve gotta build your fan base like One Direction. That’s why there are Katycats, Lovatics, and Beliebers because individuals had the foresight to establish themselves. Are you a Swiftie? Well then, check out the Urban Legend of Taylor Swift and Who’s Really Hotter Taylor Swift Vs. Katy Perry?
Lately, Taylor Swift has been dominating the news. Right now, it is time to give a shout out to Liam Payne. Today is literally his birthday. He turns 24 years old. Wish him a happy birthday @IamGuruJay and @LiamPayne.

Who’s waiting for Liam Payne’s next album? Fresh off the One Direction (1D) boat, Liam recently released 2 singles: Strip That Down and Get Low. Strip That Down has went double platinum. I predict it will go triple platinum when it’s all said and done. Who knows he could get a diamond in the future.

Should Camila Cabello Launch Solo Career?

Right now, the best thing about Fifth Harmony is Camila Cabello. She is the talk of the town. Everyone wants to know if the songstress will start a solo career. I believe a Fifth Harmony breakup is inevitable. The real question is when will Camila gear up her launching pads.

For the record, I urge Fifth Harmony to stay the course because the female group could be bigger than both Destiny’s Child and the Spice Girls. However, I understand logistics and the music industry. Managing 1 ego in showbiz opposed to 5 is a lot simpler, don’t you agree? Plus, the record label would have an easier time splitting the money 4 ways.

Can you imagine Fifth Harmony without Camila Cabello though? What would they sound and look like without the lead singer? Who would takeover as the new face of the team? Clearly, this young entertainer has made a major name for herself in a short span of time.

I’m also on record saying if the celebrity can become another Beyonce then by all means let’s break them up. Let’s not stay together for the sake of an Al Green song. Jokes aside, Guru Jay is all about promoting the crème de la crème in entertainment. Senorita Cabello has proven she’s worth it.

Now we can blame Shawn Mendes or Machine Gun Kelly. We can point fingers at Taylor Swift and others. But what good would that do?

We can compare the 5’2” Latina with Zayn. If Zayn hadn’t left One Direction, then Pillowtalk would have never been a smashing hit. Aren’t you interested in what this Cubana can do on her own?

We’ve seen Selena (Mexico), Shakira (Colombia). Maybe, it’s time for Camila *Cuba.

After spending time reading the tea leaves, I’ve determined Camila Cabello is determined to leave Fifth Harmony and launch a solo career for the betterment of entertainment.

Enjoying a 5 Seconds of Summer Breeze

This summer has been a hot one from Boston to Sydney. In Michigan, we were lucky to get a breeze on Sunday. I was so happy to get that cool air I had finally wanted. Hopefully, it keeps up.

What exactly is “cool air?” I call it a 5 Seconds of Summer Breeze. You see 5 Seconds of Summer defines coolness. And another word for air is breeze. Plus, Luke Hemmings, Michael Clifford, Calum Hood, and Ashton Irwin are keeping it up!

Do you feel the heat? 5 Seconds of Summer blazes with the best of them. I guarantee 5SOS can make you sweat. Just ask their 9.6 million Twitter followers if the pop rock band gets them hot and steamy.

Luckily, the band was discovered by One Direction on YouTube. Can you believe it all started in 2011 on a video streaming website? Right now 5SOS are going in one direction for certain. I bet 5SOS never imagined this level of fame in their wildest dreams. It may get to the point where the music group is actually bigger than One Direction.

Did you know this Australian band of high school classmates opened up for One Direction? Now, the question in showbiz is who can open up for 5 Seconds of Summer. In a matter of years, 5SOS have transitioned from entertainment lightweights to heavyweights. Who can deny that they are some of the most famous people on the planet?

What are your favorite 5 Seconds of Summer songs? I like Amnesia, the new Girls Talk Boys, and English Love Affair. You see the You Look So Perfect singers sound so perfect sometimes.

Final thoughts- the 5SOS Rejects have a good story to tell. The truth is that they were rejected. Things weren’t easy at first. However, they persevered instead of perspiring. Relax and take time to enjoy the summer breeze if only for 5 seconds.

What Is One Direction Without Zayn?

BY: GURU JAY

What Is One Direction Without Zayn?
Who thought Harry Styles would go first? It doesn’t make sense that Zayn left One Direction so soon. It’s been a minute now and there are talks that he may come back still.
I came across a story about Paul McCartney weighing in on the topic. Speaking of weight, I gotta get this off my chest. O.K., One Direction will never be in the same ballpark as the Beatles. Who told you that lie?
I believe One Direction is an amazing band no doubt. Their music appeals to the youth. Plus, the band’s social media game has no rivals.
Nowadays, you’re measured by the power of your social network. With 28 million Twitter followers aka Directioners, One Direction has a powerful fan-base comprising of fortresses and arsenals around the world. Why on Earth would Zayn Malik leave it? Sidebar: do you think Camila Cabello will exit Fifth Harmony soon?

All I’m saying is what ever happened to loyalty, pride, and stick-to-it-ed-ness? What is One Direction without Zayn? The answer is PILLOWTALK. Yes, we got a hit song and top music video out his departure but at what price? 
Maybe, this is the real question-> does One Direction need Zayn and vice versa? It boils down to what is best for both parties. Right now Zayn is in a different lane. In America, it is the left lane because he’s going fast. In Great Britain, it’s the right lane.
Zayn should keep doing whatever he wants to  because that’s his motto. I only ask that he keep making great music for music’s sake. The world needs good music and Zayn makes great music. Like Katy Perry, he delivers what we want.
In the prophetic words of Tupac Shakur, “I aint mad at cha…Zayn. Pillowtalk hypnotizes you like John Lennon’s lyrics. People compare him to Justin Timberlake who left NSYNC but I say that’s some big shoes to fill….not to mention those huge cufflinks, custom-suit, and tie shit.

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.

AMAs American Music Awards Best Blog Celebrity dancing Guru Jay Gwen Stefani Jennifer Lopez Justin Bieber Music Nick Jonas One Direction Recap Selena Gomez singing Taylor Swift The Weeknd TV

AMAs Recap

BY: GURU JAY


It was a spectacular celebration at the AMAs last night. Jennifer Lopez started singing her hit song Waiting for Tonight. Then, out of nowhere she broke into dancing to this year’s most popular music. She had help from dozens of dancers.
Trivia: AMAs stands for American Music Awards
There were too many shows to mention them all. Hopefully, I highlight the best ones. At Guru Jay, I provide the best entertainment.

The Weeknd won the first award, presented by Prince. Later in the show, the Hills singer performed his classic. He literally set the stage on fire. I was worried he might burn to a crisp and they would have to evacuate the building.

All the stars came out for the night. Everything you could want to happen happened. There was tongue kissing, confetti falling, and nudity.
Gwen Stefani arrived on the red carpet wearing a naked dress. Right now her dress is a major trend on social media. While singing Used to Love You, Gwen had the crowd shedding tears.

Also, Nick Jonas gave a nice performance. He had a lively choir back him up on Jealous. I keep saying he is the future Justin Timberlake.
Additionally, rivals Demi Lovato and Selena Gomez delivered exciting routines. Plus, Coldplay put on a colorful show featuring dancers in gorilla-suits.
One Direction took home Artist of the Year again. I thought Taylor Swift deserve it for her 1989 album. This is what I call “music politics.”

The media hyped Taylor Swift all year. Radio constantly blasted Shake It Off, Bad Blood, and Blank Space. I’m not the biggest “Swifty,” but I give credit where it is due. Taylor got robbed.
Finally, Justin Bieber closed the AMAs like only he could do. The Biebs performed What Do You Mean, Where Are U Now, and Sorry. Did you get a glimpse of the AMAs?

Who Wins? Justin Bieber Vs. Selena Gomez

BY: GURU JAY

You must look at the glass half-empty and half-full. In other words, the pros need the cons and the Beliebers need the Biebs. So, why expect Selenators to standby while Justin dates Gomez’s archrival Ariana Grande?

I believe Bieber and Grande make a more perfect union. In the long run, Grande and Gomez will likely pass up Justin financially and in popularity. You see Grande churns out hits like butter. And Selena can fall back on acting.
Does the name Jennifer Lopez click? I don’t proclaim soothsaying superpowers. All I offer you are opinions and predictions on this subject. 

Justin Bieber could prove everyone wrong and make several smashing hits in the future. Frankly, I’m tired of everybody riding Justin hard, when it’s not his fault. Can you picture the spotlight shining on you at age 14?
Think about all the stupid stuff teenagers do. So, on the one hand, I say give Bieber a break. On the other hand, I say where is Justin’s number 1 hit record?
Here’s what happened. His managers accelerated his follower count. You saw the same thing happen with Meghan Trainor. Trust me, you don’t want instant fame because like John Lennon so elegantly sang, “Instant karma’s gonna get you.”
If you are an aspiring entertainer or celebrity, don’t buy their bullshit. You’ll hear them claim, “I can get you 100 million views.” Here’s my advice. If you can get famous in a day, you can get destroyed in a day.
Take your time and grow a true fan base. Yes, social media is an awesome and useful tool, but getting better at your talent is more important. Plus, you need to improve your skills before it’s too late.

Justin Bieber is truly talented. However, his financiers built his brand too big and too quickly. Watch what happens to One Direction. They are in a similar predicament.
In ten years, I have Selena Gomez beating Justin Bieber in a landslide.
