K-Pop’s BLACKPINK Is Taking Over the World

 By: Guru Jay

In August 2016, BLACKPINK was created out of stardust. Guru Jay Entertainment turned two years old. When stars are born, it’s a complicated process. Just ask Lady Gaga and Destiny’s Child. Have you heard of the Beyoncé formation? You see, there were four music stars born on that illustrious summer night. They were and are more than singers and dancers. They are celebrities. They are Jisoo, Jennie, Rosé, and Lisa. The question is are you excited about K-Pop’s takeover? Are you listening to the good vibrations in today’s music? K-Pop’s BLACKPINK is taking over the world beginning in Bangkok, Thailand.

Like Destiny’s Child, BLACKPINK appeals to a large fanbase. Can’t you see how much their hard work has paid off? Every music video comes close to perfection. YG Entertainment formed a four-member girl group with everlasting star power. Listen! This group has gone beyond K-Pop and risen to a momentous occasion and only time will tell how far their music glory will travel. Presently, I’m a long way from Asia. Right now, BLACKPINK is on the BORN PINK World Tour Asia. With all that’s going on: the album which debuted September 16, 2022, the Coachella festival headliner news, everything couldn’t be more perfect.

Have you heard about all the planets aligning in December? And NASA discovered the first exoplanet just yesterday with the James Webb telescope. What is written in the stars? The truth is BLACKPINK makes my palms sweaty and gives my gut butterflies. Each one of them is gorgeous. As Guru Jay, I am going to do my part and let the stars shine. 

Check out BLACKPINK on YouTube Music, Spotify, and all that other good stuff. Also, consider buying the BORN PINK album. It’s in two languages: Korean and English. And if you like my content, please share and comment. Thanks a lot. You can follow me on Twitter @IamGuruJay. Peace and love!

Why Dua Lipa Is a Big Deal

Why Dua Lipa Is a Big Deal

       What do you know about Dua Lipa? Dua Lipa is a big name in the entertainment industry. Watch it get bigger in the coming years. Who exactly is Dua Lipa? Dua Lipa is a big deal. The celebrity is 22 years old. She was born in London, England. And she has Albanian roots.

    I discovered Dua Lipa on Twitter. Not only can she sing her butt off, she has smart fashion sense too. In a way, she is a lot like Bebe Rexha but bigger and better. Moreover, the British singer has sung her way into the hearts of millions of fans.
    If you desire hot music, this hot songstress can sing it for you. She also models. In fact, she got her start in showbiz as a model.
Do you think she’s a hotter model or singer? One thing is for sure: she is hot. It’s ironic Dua Lipa even made a song called Hotter Than Hell.
Check out her Saturday Night Live performances. You’ll find she has the chops. She can croon with the best of them.
    Dua Lipa is a big deal. I’ve been blogging for 5 years now and I’ve seen all kind of artists come and go. Some of them just didn’t have the goods. You see the best ones have a certain pedigree.
    Dua Lipa seems to be high caliber. She’s extremely popular in the United Kingdom; and in a matter of time her fame in America will skyrocket. You could argue she’s already there, but she’s not quite a superstar.
    I look forward to more of what Dua Lipa has to offer. She’s on top of her game. Plus, she’s bold. I believe she has done a superb job launching her career. She’s not afraid of the spotlight. That’s very important because conquering fear is the first step. Without question, Dua Lipa is a big deal.

What Taylor Swift song gets you going? Shake It Off, Blank Space, You Belong with Me, and End Game are my favorites. Without question, Taylor Swift’s career has reached a superstardom level and Taylor Swift is a durable brand name.

I believe Taylor Swift is the face of Apple Music. Apple Music needs Taylor Swift’s sound like buttermilk pancakes need buttermilk. Doctors recommend not to skip a healthy breakfast. Gurus recommend not to skip a great Taylor Swift song.

I could listen to Taylor Swift all day long because she has so many hits. She is certified platinum every time she produces a new album. Moreover, she is rewarded for her talent. To date, she has won 10 Grammys.  

Whether you listen to Taylor on Apple Music, Amazon Music, Spotify or VEVO, nothing beats consuming her music. When the singer gets together with producers, they always have the fans on the back of their minds while making beats. Swifties love Taylor Swift because she is something special.

  
Taylor Swift released her End Game video two days ago. I saw it and was amazed. She and Ed Sheeranhave good chemistry. Like Sheeran, Swift is one of the most exciting musicians in the world. I only wish she would make a song with Beyonce.

Taylor Swift is scheduled to perform at the Super Bowl for good reason. All eyes will be on her as she is sure to razzle and dazzle fans around the world. Football and Taylor Swift were made for each other. 

Taylor Swift has a reputation. She is one of the biggest names in music. Plus, she challenges herself to get better. Some music artists stay in the safe lane, but not Taylor. She jumped from country to pop music with purpose. 

It’s easy to see why Taylor Swift is the face of Apple Music. You must respect Taylor Swift because she gives respect. The Urban Legend may very well become a living legend.

Is Aloe Blacc Another John Legend?

Is Aloe Blacc Another John Legend?

Nowadays, the deep sounding voice is rare in music. That’s what makes Aloe Blacc a diamond in the rough. Now, he’s not Barry White but you get the picture. It’s hard to argue with the fact Aloe is special. He’s another John Legend.

Before John Legend fans launch an attack on me, allow me to explain myself. John Legend is a far better singer than Aloe Blacc and almost everybody else. However, what Aloe Blacc lacks in raw talent, he makes up for with soul. You can’t deny that Aloe Blacc is one of the most passionate crooners showbiz has ever seen.

Justin Bieber, Shawn Mendes, Justin Timberlake and most other male vocalists are known for their high pitches. But who wants to live in a world where music all sounds the same? No knock on Biebs, Mends, and Timbs but the fans have spoken. They want something different from the status quo.

Aloe Blacc is different. He doesn’t subscribe to the status quo at all. You know how they say some writers such as Herman Melville were ahead of their time. I believe this singer is ahead of his time.

Here’s why…

He crosses genres. Who else sings pop, country, and hip-hop? You could say that Nelly crosses all three genres but I remind you that the Hot in Here artist is a rapper.

What is more, Aloe Blacc makes meaningful music. The singer sings about what’s important in the world. He doesn’t brag about how much money he makes and how many girlfriends he has or the good life. Did you know his nickname is Mr. Frugal? I call this Hollywood Conservatism.

I’ve been following Aloe Blacc since his I Need A Dollar days. Green Lights is one of my favorite Aloe Blacc songs. Moreover, I play I’m the Man (Explicit version) when I feel the need. Lately, I’ve been casually listening to his songs on Vevo.

Do you agree that Aloe Blacc is another John Legend?

Bruno Mars Vs. The Weeknd

BY: GURU JAY

Bruno Mars Vs. The Weeknd

CBS aired the annual Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show last night at 10 PM. All eyes were watching the models strut the stage. And all ears were listening to the lullabies of Lady Gaga, Bruno Mars, and The Weeknd.

Overall, I enjoyed seeing the sights from Paris on my HD TV screen. I can only imagine how nice it would be to see the show in 3D or going to the show live in person. Many celebrities were in attendance. It was great entertainment. Bruno Mars and The Weeknd showed up big time.


The question I want to know is Bruno Mars still better than The Weeknd. I believe The Weeknd may have usurp Bruno Mars in popularity. For the record, I consider Bruno to be the best singer in the entertainment business. Who can deny his vocal ability?

Bruno is even a better entertainer than the Weeknd. However, the Weeknd wins right now because of his undeniable style. Plus, his lyrics from his latest album are better than Bruno’s 24 K magic. Side to side, I would rather listen to the Weeknd’s Starboy album simply for the well-written verses. Still, they have both created hot beats with their new sounds.

The Weeknd currently holds 2 Guinness World Records. He has the most streamed album on Spotify in 1 year. Plus, he holds the record for most consecutive weeks in the Top 10 of Billboard’s Hot 100 by a Solo Male Artist.

Do you doubt that the famous Canadian and Hawaiian will be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame one day? Who will get a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame first? The Bruno Mars/ The Weeknd rivalry is real. They probably dream about each other.

Can you picture Bruno Mars leading a marching band? What if the Weeknd played the electric guitar? All I’m saying is that anything is possible.

Prince, Whitney Houston, and Aaliyah

BY: GURU JAY


Prince, Whitney Houston, and Aaliyah made music better. The 3 music makers rejuvenated rock, pop, and R&B genres. They literally transformed sounds.


No one could have sang Purple Rain like Prince. Who else other than Whitney could hit that amazing “And I Will Always Love You” high note? And only Aaliyah could have sang One In a Million.


Singers keep imitating these artists because their pieces last forever. Not just every song, every sound was high quality. Their voices were made to be recorded inside recording booths.


Now Prince was a perfectionist. He challenged you to be great. Because his expectations were sky high, you expected more of yourself as a result. I feel Prince knew his abilities were supernatural.


Whitney Houston was an angel. Moreover, I don’t know if she realized how strong an effect she had on the world. All her music should be archived. It would be a shame to lose a single Whitney Houston song.


We all know Aaliyah died way too young. Despite an untimely death, within a short span of time she demonstrated greatness. Without question, she shined royally. I believe the Princess of R&B would have eventually collaborated with Prince.


Many associated the music artist with the color Purple because of his hit number 1 song and movie. Similarly, Michael Jackson’s name is synonymous with Thriller. However, I think it’s important to remember all the legends’ work because their entire music catalog deserves respect.
What are your favorite Prince songs? Do you like Party Like It’s 1999, I Wanna Be Your Lover, and When Doves Cry? Prince could party, make love, and tear up more than one thing. Like Jimi Hendrix and Carlos Santana, he made the guitar spill tears.


What are the best Whitney Houston’s songs? Exhale, I Have Nothing, My Love Is Your Love, I Wanna Dance with Somebody are some great ones. The Greatest Love of All songstress might have been the greatest singer of all time.

Finally, I recommend listening to an Aaliyah album.


What is music without Prince, Whitney Houston, and Aaliyah?

Why Katy Perry Gives Us Exactly What We Desire

BY: GURU JAY

  
In the beginning, Katy Perry was rubberstamped. Fans never had a problem with Katy. Perry isn’t perfect but she is exactly what we desire. She doesn’t reveal everything but she shows just enough to make you wonder.
It’s like watching a modern day Elizabeth Taylor sing on a microphone in her prime. Rarely do singers look better than actresses in bikinis. Make an exception for Katy Perry. Who wants to see her perform on the silver screen?
I think the California Gurl would be a pretty good actress. I mean she’s not going to take Julia Robert’s spot but she can take Jessica Alba’s place. Under the proper guidance, this celebrity can blossom.
Here in America, Memorial Day and Independence Day are approaching. We celebrate first and foremost by: stopping and smelling the roses, barbecuing next, later soaking up the sun, and then listening to Katy Perry music.

Have you ever been to a Katy Perry concert? It feels like electricity is pulsating through your veins. Katy caters to fans and offers her songs in cold dishes on silver platters. She serves steaks well done or rare. It may only be 2 choices but they’re great options.
Who remembers the John Mayer and Katy Perry Who You Love duet? Wasn’t that special? Do you think she should do one with Justin Timberlake?
I dedicated a couple hours to watching KatyPerryVevo on YouTube. My favorite from today was The One That Got Away. It’s been a while since the last time I seen it. Sometimes we could use a small reminder. Otis Redding said it best, “All you gotta do is try, try a little tenderness…”
In one word Katy Perry is: PHENOMENAL. Her throat is a glorious vessel. Katy Perry does anything to please her fans. There isn’t a finer entertainer in showbiz. This is for you my number 1.
