Why Shawn Mendes Is NOT the New Justin Bieber

It seems Shawn Mendes is the new Justin Bieber. He is dominating YouTube and Twitter. I would argue that his name is more famous than Taylor Swift in Canada. But can there really be another Justin Bieber?

Shawn Mendes just turned 18 years old, and now he has the whole world listening to his music. Remember Justin Bieber got off to an early start too. Isn’t that something… they’re both Canadian?

Outside Germany, Canada brews the best beer. Outside America, Canada breeds the best singers. Give extra credit to Drake and the Weeknd.

Mendes isn’t old enough to drink alcohol in the United States. However, he’s able to entertain drunken crowds. Maybe, they should increase the drinking age to 24 because that’s when the brain’s fully developed. Or maybe they should lower the drinking age to 18 because that’s when men and women go to war.

Shawn Mendes puts the ‘S’ in Showbiz. Everyday he works hard on his craft to get better. Does he have to Show You? His sound is similar to Nick Jonas‘s Chains. Plus, the Stitches singer knows how to stitch up a track like Lil Wayne.

It’s scary in a good way. You see Shawn still has untapped potential. Picture the young celebrity joining up forces with 5 Seconds of Summer on a possible tour. What if he made an entire album with Fifth Harmony? Let’s hope Camila Cabello stays the course, although it appears she may go solo.

Music needs more Mendeses’ and less one hit wonders. Yes, I love catchy lyrics like you do, but let’s ask ourselves- what’s the catch? Let’s stop sacrificing great music for good.

Everybody has asked is Shawn Mendes the new Justin Bieber? My answer is NO. He is big enough to be his own man. You’ll see.

Why You Love the Soulful Sound of Melanie Fiona

BY: GURU JAY


If it was 4 AM on Saturday and Melanie Fiona was my girlfriend, worrying about my whereabouts would be the last thing on her mind. There’s a good chance after a year or so together, I would put a ring on it. Plus, I’d heal her bruised heart the best way I could.
I’m more attracted to a sweet voice than a pretty smile because you can’t fake the former at least when it comes to singing. I’ve seen many fake smiling faces masquerading behind their makeups and cosmetics. Based on experience love is all about communication.
Like Mya said: Get to know me…”cause I’m more than a souvenir on your trophy case. Love me like a woman.”

 

There is something sincere yet sensual about singing a perfect note and carrying a flawless tune. Melanie has a dynamic style, excellent vocal range along with awesome clarity. The Lucious Lyon sound presented by Cookie Lyon doesn’t have shit on Melanie Fiona. 
Does it help that Melanie Fiona looks like a 25-year-old Halle Berry? Absolutely, but I’ll mainly discuss her fine singing abilities. Isn’t it obvious Melanie makes amazing music?
Right now Melanie Fiona has produced 2 studio albums over 7 years. She had an unfavorable contract, so her situation is understandable. Because of her deal with Roc Nation, you should expect more production from this star.

Fiona sounds like a modern day Tina Turner mixed with Billie Holiday and Etta James. First off, Canadians must be proud because she took her Grammy and music awards back to her hometown of Toronto. Second, there are not many female musicians capable of matching her soulfulness. In the soul genre, Fiona sits in a class instructed by Lauryn Hill. Her classmates include Alicia Keys, Fantasia, Jennifer Hudson, and Jazmine Sullivan.

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!
