LAST POST

This being the last post of the year I decided to write about why I decided to make this my blog theme in the first place.
Music is something that is already part of my daily life. I love to listen to it ALL THE TIME, no matter how busy, bored, or tired I am. Its something that can change my mood completely and that definitely has an impact on my days.
Its a way to help me express what I feel without saying a word, which make it all so much easier.
The great thing about it is that there is at least one song that relates completely with what I feel or what I want to say no matter what it is...

well... hope this blog entertained all of you the way music entertains me... and don't ever forget the great things music brings us all!!

CHRIS BROWN IN BRAZIL!!

Chris Brown will arrive in Brazil on tuesday, one day ahead of the first of four concerts that he is doing here as part of his International Fan Appreciation Tour.
He goes to Belo Horizonte on Wednesday, on Thursday he has his show in São Paulo and he finishes it off on Saturday with a show in Porto Alegre.
He will wrap up his tour in the UK and Ireland.
His show in São Paulo will be on the Credicard Hall, which is a good place but not very big.
At first I really wanted to go to his concert because his songs are fairly good and I would like to see Chris Brown, but now I don't really care as much.
Hope to hear good things about it...

GLEE
I think most of you have already heard of the new hit TV show called GLEE!
The show is about a spanish highschool teacher who decides to restore the glory from the school's Glee Club. He is able to gather a bunch of students (not only geeky ones) to participate in the club including the popular cheerleaders and football players. There is a whole story showing daily highschool dramas and how they deal with it with the glee club.
The great thing about this show is that its not only funny in a kind of silly way, but the actors really sing great songs that everyone knows of, and they sing it REALLY WELL.
Its a new show and it already won a Golden Globe Award, another 9 wins and 15 nominations... IT IS GOOD!
I really like this TV show and can't wait for the second season to come out!
When I saw the commercial on FOX I knew I was going to like it because of the songs they were singing. The songs are not only great, but it has to do with the episode, making it even better!
I really love this show and hope that everyone gets a chance to experience it a little.
It goes on FOX, Wednesdays at 22:00pm.
Here is a little clip from the amazing singing on the show...

Axis of Awesome

The Axis of Comedy is an Australian comedy band that formed in 2006. The band gained more success after performing at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival where they presented the "Four Chord Song"in 2009.

I had never even heard of this band until my math teacher showed this performance to us during class... I loved how they were creative in setting so many songs that have absolutely nothing to do with each other, all combined in one song.
They combined songs like Don't Stop Believing- Journey and Whatever You Like- T.I
which are perfect examples of complete opposites!!
It was something I had never even imagined seeing which made it even better!!
To do something like this they need to be VERY talented and creative...
Here is there amazing performance...

POWER OF MADONNA

The hit TV show GLEE continues its season with new episodes more exciting than before!
The episode aired this week was like a homage to one of the best pop singers of all times: MADONNA!!
In the episode the glee club has an assignment to choose Madonna songs with the objective that the girls would embrace her strength, independence, and confidence.
In doing so, the episode has some of Madonna's biggest hits like: Like a Virgin, Vogue, Express Yourself, Borderline, Open your Heart, 4 Minutes, and Like a Prayer; all featured by the great singers in the show (especially Lea Michele (Rachel) and Cory Monteith (Finn)).

I saw the episode and I have to admit, I impressed by how fast this season is getting better and better and I can't wait for the next episode!! The songs are also getting better and so is the story... so, we can't miss it!!

Here is a preview from the Madonna episode... like a prayer... enjoy!

UNITED STATES OF POP- 2009

DJ EARWORM, once again, made another year-end mashup consisting of the top 25 popular hit songs (according to Billboard magazine) of 2009.
It is a follow up from the mashups he made in 2007 and 2008.
This year most of the songs seem to tell the same story: that we've ben through a lot, and now we only have to celebrate with music and dance cause everything will be OK.
With this spirit in mind, here is the BLAME IT ON THE POP 2009 mashup songs:

  • The Black Eyed Peas - BOOM BOOM POW
  • Lady Gaga - POKER FACE
  • Lady Gaga Featuring Colby O’Donis - JUST DANCE
  • The Black Eyed Peas - I GOTTA FEELING
  • Taylor Swift - LOVE STORY
  • Flo Rida - RIGHT ROUND
  • Jason Mraz - I’M YOURS
  • Beyonce - SINGLE LADIES (PUT A RING ON IT)
  • Kanye West - HEARTLESS
  • The All-American Rejects - GIVES YOU HELL
  • Taylor Swift - YOU BELONG WITH ME
  • T.I. Featuring Justin Timberlake - DEAD AND GONE
  • The Fray - YOU FOUND ME
  • Kings Of Leon - USE SOMEBODY
  • Keri Hilson Featuring Kanye West & Ne-Yo - KNOCK YOU DOWN
  • Jamie Foxx Featuring T-Pain - BLAME IT
  • Pitbull - I KNOW YOU WANT ME (CALLE OCHO)
  • T.I. Featuring Rihanna - LIVE YOUR LIFE
  • Soulja Boy Tell ‘em Featuring Sammie - KISS ME THRU THE PHONE
  • Jay Sean Featuring Lil Wayne - DOWN
  • Miley Cyrus - THE CLIMB
  • Drake - BEST I EVER HAD
  • Kelly Clarkson - MY LIFE WOULD SUCK WITHOUT YOU
  • Beyonce - HALO
  • Katy Perry - HOT N COLD
I personally liked this mashup better than the 2007 and 2008 just because of how well the songs fit together and how the "theme" makes it even more exciting.

here is the video for the 2009 mashup:

JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE


This week's post is about one of the most famous singers of the whole world. His career grew immensely on a short period of time, and he, with a lot of hard work and dedication became the huge star he is today.
JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE began his career when he was small but only became famous on the late 90's as the lead singer of the boy band N'Sync. The band unfortunately didn't go very far, especially because at that time a lot of other boy bands were coming up like the Backstreet Boys and Westlife.
Justin didn't give up his dream after the band and worked on a solo career. In 2002 he released his first solo album, Justified, which sold more than seven MILLION copies.
His first two solo albums made him one of the most commercially successful singers, selling in excess over 9 million copies each. His big career made him work with various other great artists making great songs such as Madonna, Ciara, Timbaland etc...
Justin also invested on his acting career and until now has won six Grammys and two Emmy Awards.
I am now waiting anxiously for a big show here in Brazil... Hope its soon!!!

Here are a few of my favorites songs:
- My Love
- Carry Out
- Sexy Back
- Lovestoned
- What Goes Around Comes Around
- Cry me a River
- Dead and Gone
- Losing my Way
- Summer Love
- Love and Sex and Magic
- 4 Minutes
- She Wants it (ayo technology)
