Beyoncé Vs. Alicia Keys

BY: GURU JAY
Who’s better between Beyoncé and Alicia Keys? Is Alicia Keys the best singer and Beyoncé the best entertainer? I feel Alicia’s singing is superior although Queen Bee has got a big Ego. Jokes aside, Beyoncé gives everything to you.
If I had to pick, I’d chose Beyoncé 10 times out of 10. She delivers the total package in the form of singing plus dancing. She mesmerizes you on the dance floor.
Alicia doesn’t dance enough. Gratefully, she plays the keyboard though. Can you picture Alicia as your waitress? “Give me the special with the hot chocolate” all night. You Don’t Know My Name
Look, Beyoncé is on another planet right now. She’s in the news nonstop because of Lemonade. But Alicia Keys just released In Common yesterday. Without question, it is a hot single. What is more, you can pull it up on YouTube/ Vevo and listen to the New York girl.

Maybe Keys should have waited to put out her song. Rihanna postponed her plans for Adele’s album. Is Alicia Keys stepping on Beyoncé’s toes or using her as a steppingstone? By all accounts they seem like BFFs. But we’re talking about the music industry here, aren’t we?
The entertainment value of Beyoncé and Alicia Keys is extraordinary. I know it is unfair to compare Beyoncé and Alicia Keys… but life is unfair, isn’t it?
The Beyoncé takeover is in full effect. She’s my #1 favorite pop star and this won’t change any time soon. Alicia Keys makes my top 10 too. For the record, I own both their albums.
Still, Beyoncé isn’t flawless; “She’s a bitch in the morning. We don’t know why we love her.” Yes, Alicia Keys sings the best, but Beyoncé is the best singer.
It’s not always about hitting the high notes. Sometimes it’s more important to hit that low note.

What Is One Direction Without Zayn?

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 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.

Bee Gees + The Beach Boys = Too Much Heaven and Good Vibrations

BY: GURU JAY

Bee Gees and the Beach Boys songs are timeless pieces. Take for instance these following lyrics:
We’re living in a world of fools
Breaking us down
When they all should let us be
We belong to you and me
Ain’t that the truth?! We spot fools everyday.
How about this?
The Midwest farmer’s daughters really make you feel alright
And the Northern girls with the way they kiss
They keep their boyfriends warm at night…
I wish they all could be California girls
What’s better than receiving California love?
Between the Beach Boys and Bee Gees you can’t go wrong. I listen to the bands to calm my nerves. Put on Surfin USA and that will do the trick. After listening to the record all you can think about is beach balls and Pina Coladas.

It’s a fun way to relax. Try playing Stayin Alive when you’re feeling in a bad mood. It works. I feel like the world needs good music.
Nowadays, they don’t make hits like they did in the past. That’s why we gotta do a Throwback Thursday (TBT) on Wednesday. No one sings like Barry Gibb.
Listen to Barbra Streisand and Barry Gibb’s Guilty. “Little by little we meet in the middle. There’s a danger in the dark. You gotta be mine.” There’s no doubt that is a top 10 duet of all time.
Plus the Beach Boys are a top 5 band. Their music is still heard all over the globe. Yes, Elvis was a legend but he was a 1 man show. Brian Wilson, Mike Love, Bruce Johnston, Al Jardine, and David Marks made their mark on American music history.
Finally, the Beatles weren’t the only great band from the United Kingdom. How about the band of brothers? 3 brothers named Barry, Robin, and Maurice forever changed the sound of music, especially in England.
You combine the 2 bands and you get U.S. and U.K. Ambassadors. Bee Gees + The Beach Boys= Too Much Heaven and Good Vibrations.

What Is U2 Without Bono?

BY: GURU JAY
What is U2 without Bono? Bono is not only the backbone of U2 he is the mastermind. Everyday seems like St. Patrick’s Day for Bono, because the Irish celebrity makes it a point to celebrate. Give him some credit. Like Visa, he’s accepted everywhere.
Bono can go to Africa and Africans will accept him over there. In addition, his Humanitarian and philanthropic efforts are appreciated. I feel he would make a great Ambassador. He has a big heart made out of gold. Watch Bono interviews and you’ll clearly see he wants to make the world a better place.
He reminds me of John Lennon a lot. You’ll want to check out my John Lennon postafter reading this story. Also, name your favorite U2 and Bono songs in the comments. Beautiful Day gets me going. 
 
I believe celebrities should take stances on important issues even when wrong. Don’t you hate political correctness? At the same time, we hate seeing celebrities used as puppets. Don’t sell us out for chicken scratch. And don’t chicken out either.
Can you picture meeting Bono? Would you be starstruck? You see Bono is definitely one of my VIPs. Plus, U2 is #2 in my Top 10 European Bands of All Time ranking. Bands don’t work without bandleaders and Bono is the don.
Bono, Adam Levine, Chris Martin, and Thom Yorke are in the same league. Many good singers lack Bono’s charisma. However, the great ones all have charismatic personalities. This doesn’t mean they’re all extroverts.

Beyoncé, Bruno Mars, and Prince are reserved. Still, their inner qualities shine for the whole world to see their glowing personas. Christina Aguilera is another sexy supernova. Here’s why Christina Aguilera is the Voice.
It takes courage to do what Bono has done. As an activist, the U2 singer earns more respect.
Overall, Bono gets my vote.

What Mariah Carey Can Teach Ariana Grande and Meghan Trainor

BY: GURU JAY
Whether we’re exhausted or fully charged Mariah Carey serves our needs. Who doesn’t mind falling asleep and waking up to MC? How about setting the tone of your alarm clock to one of her songs right now?
Mariah Carey is my favorite singer for a personal reason. When I was 21, I would listen to Mariah’s music with this girl to the crack of dawn each weekend. I only mentioned how much she looked like the star and she told me how big of a fan she was. So we shared that and chilled together.
Mariah Carey’s song was not only my high school graduation class song but my brother’s as well. Mariah Carey is awesome. There’s no doubt about it.

Who can question the unquestionable? Who can deny the undeniable? Who can teach the unteachable?
Both Alicia Keys and Ariana Grande sing angelically. However, Mariah Carey has the voice of a goddess. The pureness of her sound is astounding.
What are your favorite Mariah Carey songs? I like We Belong Together, Don’t Forget About Us, and My All. Plus, I enjoy her Beautiful duet featuring Miguel.
The Fantasy songstress consistently creates so many number 1 hits that it seems unrealistic. How many records has she shattered? Who can claim they’ve reached Mariah Carey’s mountain of success musically and financially?

Music students pay attention when Mariah Carey is teaching class. Ariana acknowledges Mariah’s greatness. That’s why I believe Carey can teach Grande great things.
Grammy Award winning Best New Artist Meghan Trainor should meet with Mariah for coffee soon. Mariah Carey is much more than a veteran. She is a four star general of music. She could train Trainor and promote her to top rank.
I go straight to the source and don’t beat around the bush. I admire Carey’s kindness and sincerity. She serves everything on a silver platter. Whether we’re tired or wired, Mariah is always something to be admired.

Why Lenny Kravitz Is Addicting

BY: GURU JAY


The lean Lenny Kravitz grabs headlines because his music motivates others to go on a diet. Guitar Hero developers had his image in mind when creating their popular video game. I still remember the first time I played Guitar Hero in a college apartment. It was addicting.
Lenny Kravitz is living the good life. The American Woman singer is fulfilling the American Dream.
I’m a long time fan. For a major part of last week, I’ve listened to Lenny Kravitz’s CDs and read several articles about the rock star. He has an interesting story.


When he first started his record label told him he didn’t sing “black” or “white” enough. As you know, Lenny Kravitz is half African and half Jewish. Fortunately, someone else’s doubt didn’t stop the musician from making music.
Today, Lenny Kravitz is known from New York to Moscow. He has a great reputation to live up to. Plus, his beautiful daughter Zoe gives him an extra sense of pride as a Hollywood actress in high demand.

Although he divorced her mother Lisa Bonet, the parents are on good terms. You see Lenny Kravitz is cool. One minute Justin Bieber’s posing with him. The next minute, you see his leather pants rip on stage. The celebrity could have been embarrassed about it, but the show goes on instead.
I believe this will be a special year in music. The Grammys rarely take place on Monday. And Kanye West’s most recent Tweet directed at Mark Zuckerberg is nothing short of amazing. I agree with Kanye 100 percent. That’s why I wrote this piece called Kanye West and 60s/70s Music.
Lenny Kravitz’s creativity compares to Kanye West’s artistry. Like the College Dropout rapper, Kravitz expresses his creative ideas, only a little differently. Like Guitar Hero, Lenny Kravitz is addicting.
