Harry Connick Jr. and the New Orleans Connection

Have you seen Harry Connick Jr.’s new talk show? The former American Idol judge hosts the self-titled Harry show. It’s a fun and upbeat show similar to Ellen DeGeneres’s The Ellen Show.

I’ve seen Harry multiple times. I watched him today right before TMZ Live. Maureen McCormick from the Brady Bunch was his main guest. Everybody in attendance had a good time. Plus, the viewers at home (including me) were pleased.

Near the end of the recording, Harry performed a beautiful song and played the piano. Few people in TV and showbiz are multitalented. What is more, no one can deny his masterful skills.

Born and bred in New Orleans, this celebrity’s calling card is his likability. Everybody loves Raymond and Harry too. Connick Jr. possesses the pizzazz. Like Bradley Cooper, he mixes up the gumbo. The secret ingredient is charisma.

Good Morning America’s Michael Strahan was bestowed the same gift. I call this the Like Factor. All Harry has to do is smile a little. That’s all. And, he’ll possibly replace Billy Bush on the Today show.

Millions of people all around the world want entertainment value with their viewership. They need personalities to latch unto, identify with, and support. Now that Oprah’s retired, fans crave evermore.

I feel Harry Connick Jr.’s talk show might not last 5 seasons, but his brand will last 5 more decades. They will compare him to Tony Bennett. The question is who will be his Lady Gaga.

How It Ends

You hardly ever see someone making strides, leaps, and bounds in both music and TV. Without question, his name belongs on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. He’s too talented to be put on the back burner.

You see, Harry Connick Jr. succeeds because he’s well connected. Harry Connick Jr. succeeds because of the New Orleans connection. Ellen, Lil Wayne, and all the money makers were born and bred there.

The 1-2-3 of Music: Elvis, Michael Jackson, and Prince

BY: GURU JAY

1.

Music makes the world go ’round. Hear what I’m saying, now. Everything can potentially become music to your ears. The way she speaks to you in that special tone is music. The way our car engine rumbles is music.

Guru Jay thinks he has figured out the world. Let me elaborate some more. Let’s start the show!

Today’s blog is all about music and greatness. Who is the greatest music artist? Maybe, Elvis, Michael Jackson, and Prince in that order.

A better question is who’s music makes the world go ’round the most. I feel that’s a difficult question to answer because first of all what defines the world? Are we living under the same sun but in two different worlds?

I’ve climbed a different mountain than you. I’ve seen Hollywood stars through a different set of lens. Did you know I wear glasses? Not prescription but sunglasses because I’m cool. And you ladies and gents are the coolest fans on the Planet Earth. I know I’ve got some cool fans on Mars by now. Shout out to Elon Musk and Google.

Put it to you this way. Like Elvis, I can’t help falling in love with you and some things are meant to be. You’re meant to read GuruJay.com right now.

2.

Where are my Michael Jackson fans? You all are the most precious on the globe. Happy Belated Halloween! Because this is “Thriller, Thriller, Night. You’re fighting for your life!”

Maybe, Prince was the greatest because he owned all his work. The artist known by a symbol was a true businessman. He left behind wealth in terms of financial and musical.

Maybe, nobody can be better than Elvis. In total, Elvis sold approximately 1 billion records. So it’s safe to say if alive he would be a billionaire. What is more, he has nearly 1 billion fans. It seems like there a billion Presley impersonators. Plus,the Blue Suede shoe salesman leads a quarter million Twitter followers.

Michael Jackson has 76 million Facebook likes. Prince made Purple Rain and the rest is history. To conclude, I’ve come to a conclusion that Elvis, Michael Jackson and Prince made the world go ’round with their music.

Amy Winehouse Angel Best Blogs Celebrity Celebrity Rehab Entertainment Guru Jay Hollywood Stars Janis Joplin Lady Gaga Movies Music Music Industry neo soul Rehab Showbiz Singers Tattoos

Amy Winehouse: Music Industry’s Angel

BY: GURU JAY

Amy Winehouse: Music Industry’s Angel


Amy Winehouse was England’s Janis Joplin. Without question, Amy is singing with the angels now. Winehouse and Joplin may very well be recording duets produced by Saint Peter himself.

The legendary songstress established a legacy of greatness. This celebrity was one of a kind in a full house of Hollywood stars. You see the spotlight shined on her everyday. Also, no one can question her amazing abilities.

I highly recommend Amy (2015) because the documentary film showcases the entertainer’s originality. You’ll like how the music artist became unique. Plus, you’ll appreciate her vocals much better after seeing this expert performer go to work.

At her peak, she wasn’t more popular than Britney Spears; but that didn’t matter. All that matters is the music she gave to the world. And the music she gave was a life of empathy and kindness.

In a sense, Amy’s name is synonymous with music. Scratch that. Amy means music in every language!Plus, like Lady Gaga the young lady was fearless and she made bold moves.

Winehouse passionately crooned. Maybe, she was best known for Back to Black or back to Rehab. So the story goes…In her own words to paraphrase a bit “Yes I been black but when I come back…they tried to make me go to rehab. I won’t go.” She said NO NO to celebrity rehab.

What Chuck Berry is to Rock and Roll, what Bono is to U2, Amy Winehouse was to Neo Soul. She developed new sounds in the studio booth and on the concert stage. Who can deny Amy Winehouse her legendary status? She rightfully claimed her throne in England like Janis did in America.

In a nutshell, Amy meant the world to the music industry because she pioneered a creative sound. Her vocal chords stretch toward the heavens. It is my honor and privilege to write this tribute to a great soul.

Best Blogs Bob Dylan Celebrity Entertainment Guru Jay Music Nobel Prize in Literature Showbiz Singers

My Bob Dylan Story

BY: GURU JAY
Times are a changing. Oh was Bob Dylan right. I’ve been hard at work trying to create a masterpiece.
Right now, I’m writing on the back of typing paper with an ink pen. Before this I started writing the Bob Dylan story on my Apple computer. In other words, I took my precious time on this blog and I accept star treatment.
You see, most writers just go to Starbucks, drink their Grandes, and write their blogs. Well at Guru Jay, I create original entertainment stories which will blow your mind. Maybe, I might just show the behind the scenes creation. I’ve written over 400 blogs and each one is different. It’s a piece of me. So with that said. Here you go, my friend.

It’s official. Bob Dylan won the Nobel Prize in Literature. What more can the 75 year old accomplish?
Some people don’t win a prize, let alone a Nobel Prize. We’re rewarded for our efforts sometimes. Other times we work and work and work like Rihanna and nothing happens. That’s when you gotta pull yourself up by your own bootstraps and make it happen. In the end, longevity can come.
The legendary Bob Dylan made things happen; and, he’s making it happen right now. His boots were made for walking but this ain’t a Jessica Simpson song. Yes, Bob Dylan sings things. No, I can’t get you his autograph.
It seems music (everything, really) is taken too literal today. Beyonce says Becky with the good hair and everybody automatically assumes she’s referring to an actual person. We need more metaphors in music such as Dylan’s Like a Rolling Stone. Moreover, Like the Rolling Stones say “You can’t always get what you want but if you try sometimes you might find you get what you need.” You see Bob Dylan’s music doesn’t fall on deaf ears.

All the Planets Orbit Around Miley Cyrus

All the Planets Orbit Around Miley Cyrus

Howdy! Miley Cyrus is her name and music is her game. I wonder if the Dead Petz celebrity has any pet peeves. Anyway, let’s start the show.

Fans were Partying in the U.S.A. when Miley Cyrus became a Voice coach. I’ve watched this season of the Voice so far, mainly for Miley. Wasn’t that clever how the singer enlisted Dolly Parton in order to form her team? Who wouldn’t want to be chosen for Team Miley?

In addition, Miley Cyrus will remain on my VIP list forever. I support my celebrities and I’m loyal without a doubt. Even when she marries Liam Hemsworth, I will still like her because she’s hot. No matter what I’m down for the Cyrus cause.

Plus, I love Miley’s personality. The entertainer is nonjudgmental. She can sing her ass off; and bake a cake at the same time. What?!

You could argue Miley Cyrus is in the process of building a bigger name than Britney Spears. All the planets orbit around Miley Cyrus. Right now, she has 31 million Twitter followers. Britney is beating her with 47 million. However, things change.

Did Britney Spears ever show Miley Cyrus love? Probably not because the music industry is more competitive than Harvard. You see Britney is back in business, and that makes Miley her competition. Check out Britney Spears: Back In Full Swing at your leisure.

Also related are Why Christina Aguliera Is the Voice and How Adam Levine Is Different. You can find all these and more inside the Guru Jay Archives.

Wouldn’t it be great to see these two collaborate? I don’t care if they sing along together or if Britney only sings background vocals. All I want is to see them work side-by-side on something. Shout out to Ariana Grande and Nicki Minaj. Let’s make it happen. A man can dream… All the planets orbit around Miley Cyrus.

Actor Boss Entertainment Famous People Frozen Good Place Guru Jay Hollywood Actress House of Lies Kristen Bell Movies Showbiz Singers sitcoms Stars talent Ted Danson TV Twitter Voiceovers

Kristen Bell: From House of Lies to the Good Place

BY: GURU JAY


Celebrity vegan Kristen Bell is in the news because her new show the Good Place is a hit. I expect this program to be around for at least three years. It has all the right elements to succeed. Doesn’t everybody love Ted Danson as well? Or maybe, that’s Raymond but Cheers to Ted.

You get my drift. If Anna Fariscarved her career path out with a machete, Kristen Bell made waves with a surfboard. Many men fantasize about getting CPR from this hot Lifeguard lead actress.

It appears Kristen Bell is done with lying on the House of Lies but she’s still in the house. I watched the first two episodes of the Good Place and I’m impressed. I’m not won over easily. You have to go the extra mile and knock it out the park with me. Having high standards is rare.


Have you noticed how much the celebrity contributes to original entertainment in various ways? She’s a staple on TV from Showtime to NBC. Plus, her Hollywood pictures perform big numbers at the box office. Don’t forget the actor’s doing voiceovers in movies such as Frozen too.

Excluding Frozen, what is your favorite Bell movie? Some of my favorites include: the Boss, Forgetting Sarah Marshall, and You Again.

You see Kristen Bell stands at 5’1” but she’s really 6’2” on Twitter. Because being a celebrity adds 1 foot to your height, she’s one of the tallest women in the world. Take Tom Cruise for instance. How tall do you think he is? Tom Cruiseis actually a giant.

I am having fun here. Right now, the blonde actress has a full plate and can retire when she gets ready. Remember it’s never too late to become famous. Many people in the entertainment business get off to a late start. Everybody can’t reach stardom as quick as the one and only Kristen Bell.

The Intangible Assets of Alessia Cara

Do you believe in Alessia Cara? Her voice is like magic. I feel there’s something special about her sound; and, I would like to pin point it.

The question is can science explain art. This music artist could have majored in science because her technique is cutting edge. Moreover, the I’m Yours singer’s lyrics are a mix between a biomedical engineer’s equation and a poet’s stanza. Did you know Alessia Cara actually writes poetry and plays the guitar?

Without question, Alessia is an asset to showbiz. Plus, the Canadian has many intangible assets. She gets you both excited and indifferent with her singing and songwriting. Here is a genius song written by a 19 year old.

The celebrity competes with the crème de la crème and you know it. Still, it seems Alessia stays in one lane. She’s a driven celebrity who drives solo by design.

You can’t see everything. Like magic, sometimes you don’t see her and right now you do see Alessia Cara. What is more, the celebrity has a solid fan base. She’ll soon eclipse 1 million Facebook fans and Twitter followers. Cara can shake, rattle, and roll with Zendaya and Tinashe too.

Who would love to see her on the silver screen? She would probably make a better actress than singer because of her humility. Nowadays, the music industry contain the biggest egos.

Alessia Cara reminds me of Alicia Keys due to her messaging. That is an intangible asset. It’s so hard finding lyrics with a deeper meaning.

Anyway, this celebrity was built for the entertainment business- this I know. You’ll discover Alessia’s durability due to her ‘go get it’ attitude and firm mindset. She’s laid back, but not lazy.

A music brand must be built with platinum bricks. Yes, you can go for the gold but why not go even higher? Maybe, you need to adjust your mirrors once in a while.
