Spending Saturdays Listening to Stevie Wonder

BY: GURU JAY

As Valentine’s Day nears, the air we breathe smells fresher and lovelier. Stevie Wonder puts it well, “There’s a ribbon in the sky for our love.” The snow falls and love accumulates- making this a special time of the year.

Stevie Wonder’s love songs come at a premium price. I Just Called To Say I Love You, My Cherie Amour, and Isn’t She Lovely are just some of his many masterpieces on the subject of love. No one- not even Bruno Mars– makes a better love song than Stevie Wonder.
Who can touch Wonder’s pure musical abilities and creative genius? Without question, the Master Blaster influences generations of musicians. He can take that harmonica, keyboard, or virtually any instrument and create passionate music. Let’s not forget his unforgettable/ unbelievable vocals as well.

How about spending Saturdays listening to Stevie Wonder? His music can easily be found on iTunes, YouTube, Spotify, and Pandora. The whole world should hear his songs.
I grew up listening to the Motown legend. I’ve heard numerous stories from people who knew him. They speak very highly of him. Whenever I drive pass Hitsville U.S.A. I think about how the legend of Stevie Wonder was born. I picture Diana Ross, Berry Gordy, and Smokey Robinson making hits with the 25 time Grammy award winning wonder.
Even though he is blind, Wonder’s songs generate amazing imagery. I recommend buying his Inner Visions album to experience the thrilling sensation of his music. From Fingertipsto right now, Stevie Wonder’s prolific career has been exemplary.

Living For The City is one of my theme songs. Aside from love, Stevie has a strong understanding about life. Imagine being blind, black, and poor. I encourage others to become more familiar with Stevie’s story.
In 1973, the musician almost lost his life in a car accident and went into a coma. The doctors didn’t know whether Wonder would be able to survive- let alone perform again. This shows that life is so fragile. That’s why I appreciate every moment, and take nothing for granted.

Why Charlie Puth Is a Big Name

BY: GURU JAY

Charlie Puth is only in the beginning stages of a promising music career. What is more, he is multitalented and more than capable of playing the keys like a young Elton John. That’s why his vocals and piano skills are prominently displayed in the See You Again and One Call Away music videos.
Right now, the 24 year old is sending a message loud and clear with his Nine Track Mind album. Listen to Charlie Puth’s Marvin Gaye song featuring Meghan Trainor for proof. Better yet, watch this widely popular AMA performance below.

Does that have the Spiderman/ Tobey Maguire- Kirsten Dunst upside down kiss beat or what? You see Charlie beat the odds because right from the start, he didn’t care about the odds. Plus, Puth beat the odds because he’s from New Jersey.
Everybody I know from Jersey is a rough rider. If Charlie were born and raised in Wyoming, he would still be struggling as a music artist. I’m having some fun here but there’s a grain of truth to that statement.
Before becoming famous, Charlie created a YouTube channel and gained a large following. Presently his social media accounts are experiencing rapid growth in number of fans and engagement. Across the Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook platforms Charlie easily leads 5 million followers.
He sounds and looks like a mix between Ed Sheeran and Justin Bieber. As far as style, he is a straight Sam Smith. Substance-wise, his lyrics are on par with Gnarls Barkley NOT Charles Barkley.
In other words, Charlie Puth receives high marks on his creativity as a songwriter. Like Ed Sheeran, I wouldn’t be surprised if Charlie wrote a few songs for One Direction in the future. It seems Charlie Puth and Harry Styles are becoming good friends in the studio.
The music artist makes the stage his canvas. Charlie Puth is a big name because he has big potential. He is somebody to watch for years to come.

Introducing Tori Kelly

Let me introduce you to Tori Kelly. Born and raised in Southern California, the singer embraced the entertainment business at an early age. In fact, Kelly auditioned for American Idol when she was 16.
Right now, the 23 year old’s debut album Unbreakable Smile continues to sell units. Because of skyrocketing demand, producers are reissuing her album on January 29, 2016. Moreover, her upcoming concert tour should unload a busload of tickets.
I first learned about Tori Kelly after watching her perform on the Jimmy Kimmel Concert Series. Ever since then, I’ve researched her name in the search engines, listened to her music, and watched her music videos.
I believe that Tori will stay true to the music.
By and large, the singer’s discography shows a willingness to take risks. I’m of the mindset “nothing ventured, nothing gained.” Tori’s talent also takes us on adventures with songs such as City Dove.

Type Tori Kelly in the search box the next time you decide to browse YouTube videos. There’s something special about this California Lover. She is nominated for Best New Artist Grammy on purpose. She’s capable of competing with Meghan Trainor. That’s why the legendary LL Cool J and the exciting Ed Sheeran make music with her.
The I Was Made For Loving You songstress was also made for loving music. Her passion for music inspires thousands. In a couple of years, she’ll be inspiring millions without a doubt.
As far as style, Tori Kelly is a mixture of Jessie J and Alicia Keys. However, instead of banging ebonies and ivories like Keys, Kelly vigorously plucks silver guitar strings. She isn’t scared chicken shit by gossip. I believe Kelly has fully developed as a music artist. Not only is her skin thick, but it is “sho ‘nuff pretty.”

Although she’s far from her prime, she’s had 7 years since American Idol to work on her sound. I don’t jump on bandwagons I build them. Come ride the Tori Kelly express with me.

The Angelic Voice of Ariana Grande

BY: GURU JAY

The angelic voice of Ariana Grande is unlimited. Ariana sounds like a harp when she sings. You would think vocal cords have certain limitations. However, the pop singer defies conventional wisdom every time she plays her natural God-given instrument.
You see hitting high notes requires superb skills. That’s why Ariana Grande’s throat is a treasure cove. Sometimes it seems her neck can’t bear all that pain, but she stretches to her breaking point like a disciplined yogi.
The 22 year old’s body might be pint-sized but she has a gigantic voice. Moreover, the Focus songstress is determined to become a legend. Right now I believe she is an elite entertainer with some room left to grow.

Fans flock to Ariana Grande concerts because they know she’s capable of being number 1. I’m sure you’re quite familiar with Disney princesses. Well, Ariana is a Nickelodeon princess. She was a teenage star on the VictoriousTV show before becoming a superstar.
Although she’s only in her 20s, Ariana Grande has accumulated tremendous experience. I predict the pop princess will create numerous chart-topping hits in the foreseeable future. Music has never been more commercialized. I see this trend working in Ariana Grande’s favor- not because her lyrics are catchy- but because she is the prototypic dreamgirl. In other words, she delivers, baby!
Imagine Ariana Grande and Bruno Mars singing duets together.

Ariana Grande’s popularity is soaring. With 55.2 million Instagram followers and counting, it’s hard to tell her what to do. Still, everybody should listen to constructive criticism.
I believe Rihanna and Gaga can teach Grande how to handle fame because they became famous in a different way. A wise man once said: “there’s more than one way to skin a cat.” Guru Jay says “remember only to take advice if it’s good.”
I would like to wake up to the angelic voice of Ariana Grande. Also, I would like to go to bed listening to Ariana Grande. OMG (Oh My Goodness), I think I’m turning into a super-fan.

The Rising Stardom of Meghan Trainor

BY: GURU JAY


Last year Meghan Trainor rose to fame with her hit song All About That Bass. Right now Meghan’s music video has amassed over 1.2 billion views on YouTube. The rising star has a bright future.
Her clear voice commands attention. I believe Meghan Trainor could become a pop idol if she keeps up the good work. Time is on the 22 year old’s side. Moreover, working with John Legend and Charlie Puth supports her cause.
She is a fine singer, who seems to be fulfilling her dreams and potential. There are too many musicians wasting their talent. Substance abuse is often the main culprit.
Celebrities must resist temptations everyday.
Once you conquer the demons, the sky opens up for you. Trainor should stay on the right course and not get distracted.

Thank goodness the Like I’m Gonna Lose Yousinger was discovered. Born and raised in a small town in Massachusetts, Meghan now resides in Los Angeles. Though she is hardly at home because the entertainment business demands a large chunk of her time.
Trainor’s Title album was certified platinum. I have a feeling that her Thank You album will also gain platinum status. Meghan appeals to a wide demographic because she doesn’t have trouble with displaying her curves. Women should have a healthy body image like Meghan no matter their size. Be comfortable in your skin even if you’re thin.
The reason for this young entertainer’s success is that she’s different. There is nobody else like Meghan Trainor in show business. What is more, when it’s show time she turns up the temperature.
Check out her 2015 AMAs performance if you haven’t done so already. The hot blonde deserves to be on top of the Billboard Hot 100. Plus, she appears to have a good attitude. Trainor hasn’t turned into a stuck-up diva.
I believe she’s a little sweetie because she had a good upbringing. Her family pictures are all over Instagram. The Dear Future Husband songstress is a jewel. I’m happy to see the rising stardom of Meghan Trainor.

What Is Country Music Without Miranda Lambert?

BY: GURU JAY

What is country music without Miranda Lambert? Her best is yet to come. Miranda Lambert could become the next Reba McEntire or Dolly Parton. If she smartly markets her name and creates a valuable brand, she’ll have unlimited earning potential.
They say all things from Texas come in big packages. No wonder Miranda was born there. She has the biggest chops outside Oklahoma.
Back in 2003 she became a finalist on Nashville Star. 2 years later she debuted her first album entitled Kerosene. Soon after blazing country trails she set the world on fire.
Today, the country singer’s reach isn’t constrained by geography. Miranda Lambert has demonstrated she is the cream of the crop. She has proven her dynamic ability to consistently generate hits. I love listening to Lambert sing.

Her latest album, Platinum, showcases a wonderful exhibit of her talents. She is a skilled music artist driven by passion. Miranda Lambert is excited to tell a story with her carefully crafted lyrics.
Miranda’s rank falls in between Carrie Underwood and Jessica Simpson. If Carrie is a 10, Miranda is an 8 or 9, and Jessica is a solid 7 as far as music is concerned. Now, as far as attractiveness all 3 blondes are 10s.
Although Miranda Lambert’s birth records say she’s 32 years old, she could pass for 25. As you can see I am great with numbers. And Miranda produces them in the form of record sales, concert tickets, and social media. Amassing 8.5 million Facebook likes like Miranda Lambert is an impressive feat.

Like George Benson, Miranda Lambert will make it on Broadway ‘cause she can play this here guitar. The House That Built Mesongstress is a homegrown sensation. Country music isn’t the same without one of her biggest stars blessing the microphone.
Miranda’s mission is to serve mankind with her offerings. Her image is worth a king’s ransom. That’s why she graces the covers of magazines for an exorbitant fee. Most say she’s worth every penny.
What is more, Miranda means the world to country music.

25 Album Adele Celebs Entertainment Guru Jay Hello Hollywood Hometown Glory J.K. Rowling Music Rihanna Rolling In the Deep Sam Smith Set Fire to the Rain Someone Like You When We Were Young YouTube

Is Adele the J.K. Rowling of Music?

BY: GURU JAY

  
Is J.K. Rowling writing Adele’s lyrics? Is this the best-kept secret in entertainment? How else do you explain this domination of the music business? While I don’t believe the Harry Potter author is her ghostwriter, I do believe Adele possesses supernatural abilities.
What does the water department put in their drinking water over there? The singer’s vocal chords sound refreshing. Once again, there’s something special about the English sound of music.
Like J.K. Rowling, Adele will collect royalty checks forever. She recently released a new song entitled When We Were Young. Three weeks prior, she treated fans to the tune of Hello. I predict that Hellowill gather over 1 billion YouTube views within a year.

The one and only Adele is the meaning of greatness. While she was away she literally improved her vocal chords by undergoing throat surgery. Moreover, her mechanics have never been better.
What are your favorite Adele songs? I can’t listen to Someone Like You and Rolling In the Deep enough. Will you buy her new 25 album?
Just when you thought Sam Smith was the only one, Adele sends a timely reminder of her brilliance. Instantaneously, Hello has replaced Stay With Me. If Adele doesn’t win a Grammy in February, I don’t know what to tell you.
Right now, Adele can win any award she so desires. I know to call Adele’s music like J.K. Rowling’s books is a big stretch. But, both celebrities handle the media similarly.

After Harry Potter ran its course, J.K. Rowling kept her distance. And that’s the way I like it uh huh uh huh. The singer gave us precious songs, and then took a hiatus. Fans appreciate meticulous and talented individuals.
Like J.K., Adele created her own little world. Although the Set Fire to the Rain songstress doesn’t deviate from the standard, she sets the bar high. Her return to music has caused an earthquake in the industry.
Suddenly Rihanna, Taylor Swift and Katy Perry are back on their heels. I support perfect competition. And I’m a fan of expert performers.
Say what you want about Hollywood. But it’s where dreams come true. We are lucky Adele pursues her passion. Let’s give a warm welcome back to the Hometown Glory singer.
