Is Your Entertainment Better Off Now Than It Was Four Years Ago?

BY: GURU JAY

Are the music and movies of the 1960s and 1970s better than today’s music and movies? In other words, is your entertainment better off now than it was four years ago? I agree with Bob Seger, today’s music ain’t got the same soul (and I like that old school rock and roll, too.) But if I’m being honest, today’s sound doesn’t compare with yesterday’s sound. It’s simple as that. However, I can’t say the same about movies, because movies go beyond sounds and into visuals.

It is undeniable that visual effects play a large role in making a movie superior. Music is limited to only one sense and that’s hearing. Movies appeal to your sight and sound.

Autotune and audio engineering can’t make up for inferior vocals. To me, music is about the quality and the voice of Michael Jackson can’t be duplicated. You can try to clone him all you want, but there will never be another Michael Jackson.

While the music has digressed, movies have undoubtedly progressed; and that’s for several reasons. Today’s music videos are like mini-movies. Music draws on the ideas of the movie business. Hollywood is a place where dreams come true.

Who would have thought all these remakes were possible? TV shows that once existed, are here again. They’re repackaged and Netflix plays  a large role in making these products superior.
Sometimes, I can’t stand these Netflix Originals because there are so many of them. But I most admit most of them are damn good.

It is no fault of the artists, but the music can’t get any better. They don’t make stars like they used to. But, you’ll find the movies will keep getting better until there’s a technological explosion. What’s new in the entertainment industry? Do you believe there’s nothing new under the sun?

Album Amazon Beyonce and Jay Z Celebrity Drake God's Plan Guru Jay In My Feelings Michael Jackson Music Nice for What Prime Day Pusha T rappers Scorpion Singers The Weeknd Thriller Will Smith

Drake Is the $100 Million Man

Drake Is the $100 Million Man

It’s Prime Day and I’m thinking about buying a few Scorpion albums with my money. The only problem is Amazon’s got a big glitch. I thought I write about Drake until Amazon gets fixed. Right now, I’m listening to his music as I write.

I first listened to Scorpionon Spotify when it was initially released on June 29. If you don’t know what Spotify is, it is the Netflix of music. As I listened to Drake on Spotify, I was impressed from the very beginning.

Since June 29, I’ve played Drake’s music every day. I can recall listening to it on Independence Day. The experience was like watching a Will Smith movie. It was a pleasure to hear his rhymes and beats.

Drake is no stranger to taking over. Do you remember when Hotline Bling was the music video of the year? “And I know when that hotline bling, that can only mean one thing.”

Drake is taking over Summer 2018. We will look back on this moment and recognize the summer as a historic period in music. You watch as people come up with stories in the future.

Drake is the $100 million man for 100 million reasons. His music gets inside of your head. You are bound to memorize his lyrics. It’s only a matter of time before you know In My Feelings by heart.

“Kiki, do you love me?”

I can’t wait for him to collaborate with The Weeknd, who made $92 million last year according to Forbes.

I believe Drake’s Scorpionalbum will eclipse the popularity of Thriller. Everyone acknowledges Thriller as Michael Jackson’s magnus opus. Well, Scorpionis Drake’s magnus opus.

The hit album is a popular culture phenomenon. First, we saw God’s Plan turn into a colossal hit. Then, Nice for What became a theme song for independent women. Let’s not forget his music videos are cream of the crop. I’m talking top notch quality.

Now, In My Feelingsmight turn into the song of the year. People are literally going wild because of In My Feelings. Have you heard of the In My Feelings challenge? It’s amazing how much Drake is impacting the world with his songs.

Scorpion was released 3 weeks ago and has already broken all time streaming records. It is no coincidence Drake features Michael Jackson on his album.

Drake is a modern-day Picasso. His songs are works of arts. Like Beyonce and Jay Z, Drake has made a masterpiece. Unlike Bey and Jay, you could say he did it all by himself because his name alone is on the album cover.

Listening to Drake’s music gives you good vibes. For the most part, his music stays positive. However, he had to address his Pusha T beef. I don’t understand these rap beefs sometimes.

Applaud Drake because he is willing to tell his side of the story. I hope Amazon gets fixed, so I can buy the Drake albums. In the meantime, I’m going to keep listening to his music.

American Idol Carrie Underwood Celebrities Country music Entertainment Famous People feuds Guru Jay Hollywood Kelly Clarkson Miranda Lambert Music Pop Singers Popular Culture Singers Tinder

Kelly Clarkson Vs. Carrie Underwood

Kelly Clarkson Vs. Carrie Underwood 

Kelly Clarkson and Carrie Underwood are making a comeback around the same time. Clarkson started a tradition where she sings Tinder profiles on Jimmy Kimmel Live. Carrie Underwood is still a perfect 10 after her infamous face accident. The former American Idols are the TV show’s most famous singers for a major reason.

Without question, the names Kelly Clarkson and Carrie Underwood will go down in music history. Clarkson and Underwood are a part of the fabric of American popular culture. Plus, who can stop listening to their music?

Carrie and Kelly can sing with the best, but who’s better? Is Carrie a better singer because she dominates her Country genre? Or is Kelly Clarkson a better entertainer because she concentrates on Pop, a more competitive field in a crowded arena?

It’s easy to say one is better than the other, but it’s harder to prove. I feel in my gut that Kelly Clarkson is the one I want to sing when it counts. However, Carrie Underwood cuts sharper records in the studio booth.

Kelly Clarkson, 36, was born and raised in Texas. That can only mean one thing. She has one of the biggest hearts. With heart, comes soul.

Carrie Underwood, 35, was born in Oklahoma. She grew up listening to country legends like Dolly Parton. Nowadays, she’s influenced country music artists in her own right. In my eyes, she’s a brighter star than Miranda Lambert, who helps define modern day country music.

Overall, Carrie has had a more financially successful career than Kelly. However, the major difference is the Texas songstress has yet to reach the peak. Kelly Clarkson is one hit shy away from greatness.

Clarkson conquers the microphone, but Underwood’s voice is too great to ignore. Maybe, Carrie Underwood’s vocal chords are superior to Kelly Clarkson’s chops. But deep down where it matters, the diaphragm, Kelly has the voice. That’s why she is a coach on the Voice.

It’s up to the fans to decide. Who is better between Kelly Clarkson and Carrie Underwood? I think I’ve answered the question. Your mind is made up on Carrie, but your gut yelps Kelly.

Tove Lo Vs. Charli XCX

Tove Lo Vs. Charli XCX

Tove Lo and Charli XCX collaborated in a new music video named bitches. It was released a few weeks ago. You can find it on YouTube under tovelomusic.

The music video is interesting. There are all sorts of goodies. But I should warn you, it should come with a disclaimer. Tove Lo and Charli XCX push more buttons than the Pussycat Dolls.

I predict tovelomusic will gain more traction. Plus, Charli XCX is at the cusp of superstardom. Both music artists have a bright future.

Tove Lo is 30, and Charli XCX is only 25. They have accomplished a lot already, but their best is yet to come. In 10 years, you’ll read this blog and see how far they came.

Charli XCX is English as an English muffin. And Tove Lo is Sweden’s GNP. The Rolling Stone called Tove Lo Sweden’s Darkest Export. These girls create awesome music. Music lovers can appreciate their devotions to their crafts.

It doesn’t take an Etsy account, to see these musicians are extremely gifted. How much would you pay for Tove Lo’s hand-written lyrics? Who wants a Charli XCX life-size poster?

Charli XCX and Tove Lo have built international brand names. Their music dominates the Billboard Hot 100 charts. You expect them to win awards every year.

You can’t deny that Tove Lo makes hits. The Platinum singer’s dynamic hit list include Cool Girl, Talking Body, Moments, and True Diaster. Charli XCX has a great deal of potential. Tove Lo can relax some because she’s been there and done that. Habits (Stay High) was a collosal hit.

Additionally, Charli XCX made public the official video of 5 in the morning just hours ago. What are your favorite Charli XCX songs? I like Boom Clap, Break the Rules, Roll With Me, and Femmebot.

Comparing Charli XCX and Tove Lo is like comparing fruits. One is an orange, the other is an apple. Both are undeniably sweet and delicious.

Best Rappers Big Sean Celebrities Chance the Rapper Chicago Celebs Dance Music Detroit Celebs Entertainment Famous People Guru Jay Hip Hop Kanye West Music rap battles rappers Singers

Chance the Rapper Vs. Big Sean RAP BATTLE

BY: GURU JAY
Chance the Rapper Vs. Big Sean RAP BATTLE

Who wins a rap battle between Chance the Rapper and Big Sean? Whose music do you want to dance to at the night club ‘til dawn? Which rapper would you prefer to rap at your wedding reception? All these questions and more will be answered in this blog.
Let the Chance the Rapper Vs. Big Sean RAP BATTLE begin!
I remember Chance the Rapper’s first appearance on Saturday Night Live (SNL). The sketch comedy TV show did several promotions starring Chance. One of those featured Pete Davidson and Andy Samberg.
At the time I didn’t know his music, but after his SNL performance I wanted to get to know it. I soon found out that man could rap. I’ve listened to his music in clubs and on road trips. What draws me to Chance the Rapper is his creativity. I feel Chance the Rapper is more creative than Big Sean.
I’ve also listened to Big Sean’s music at night clubs. I believe Big Sean music wins big at the club. If you want to dance, then Big Sean’s music is better than Chance the Rapper. Big Sean makes better dance music. However, if you’re listening for the sake of lyrics and rhythm, then Chance is the best.

Chance the Rapper and Big Sean both make similar music. The major difference is Big Sean represents Detroit and Chance the Rapper is an ambassador of Chicago. An important similarity is their connection to Chicago via Kanye West. For the most part, their music is positive, fun, and relevant. According to B.O.B., nowadays music artists fight for relevancy. Chance and Big have won half the battle because they’re making headlines every week.
In recent news, Chance the Rapper and Kanye West were scheduled to release a joint album sometime in the future. Some suspect the album to debut as early as this summer. If this is true, then this will fundamentally shake the Hip-Hop world.
What is your favorite Big Sean and Chance the Rapper song? I like One Man Could Change the World, Blessings (Reprise), IDFWU, Dance, and Ultralight Beam.
Choosing between Chance the Rapper and Big Sean is a difficult decision. But Big Sean wins this RAP BATTLE by a slim margin. I prefer Big Sean rap at my wedding reception. Big Sean is more established, although Chance the Rapper is a big deal. I side with the establishment.

How Camila Cabello Reached the Next Level

BY: GURU JAY


How Camila Cabello Reached the Next Level

Former Fifth Harmony singer Camila Cabello is now officially a solo artist. In January of this year, Camila released her self-titled debut album and broke records in the process. Her song Havanais most streamed song by a solo female artist on Spotify.

Moreover, she has won more than 25 major awards for her music according to Wikipedia. Camila will win more and more because she is super talented. The princess needs her crown.

Camila Cabello is making history. She is one of the hottest singers in showbiz right now. People must listen to her voice.

It appears the Cuban celebrity has reached the next level. She is taking over the music industry. It’s amazing what she has already achieved; and she’s only 21.

Camila works hard. That’s why she is touring the world and earning her keep. She could build a big brand name like Jennifer Lopez. The Cuban entertainer can learn from the Puerto Rican superstar. Also, if she improves her dancing she could become the new Shakira.

Camila can sing just as good as Selena Gomez. And she’s fine enough to date Justin Bieber. It’s only a matter of time before someone special puts a ring on it. Everybody is interested in who she’s dating

The Latina entertainer attracts a wide demographic. Her music is listened to by millions. That’s mass appeal.

She has made a name for herself in a short span of time. She is a few hits away from making a masterpiece. With the right producer and the right lyrics she is guaranteed a Grammy. Plus, every song she makes has Platinum potential.

Camila Cabello has reached the next level and will never be the same- just like the song.

At first, I was against her leaving Fifth Harmony because I wanted another Destiny’s Child. However, she’s on her way like Queen Bee. I like to call her Princess Cee.

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.
