Brandy Feat. Chris Brown "Put It Down" Lyrics

Ever since Brandy has released her new single "Put It Down" feat. Chris Brown for her upcoming album 2/11 now scheduled for a fall release came out, I've been jamming to it non-stop. Being a vivid big BRANDY fan, I'm so happy she is releasing more music and hitting the music industry hard. "Put It Down" is such a club party song and the way Brandy sings on the track just made me fall deep in love with it. Brandy is one of the greatest singers out here in the world and there's no one who can match her voice, she is the definition an artist. 

Anywho, I was determined to learn the whole song by the weekend was over so I decided to search online for the lyrics and clearly I came across some that were absolutely wrong smh. I then went on YouTube to see if I can find a video that would have the correct lyrics and thankfully Brandy's VEVO page had a video which complimented the song with CORRECT lyrics. The video affects went awesome with the beat and everything too. I was smiling with joy and I still am!

Diamond held herself together during the interview as trio tried to get the skinny on what really happened with her relationship between Scrappy and if her vagina really has an odor problem as Momma Dee stated on the show.

New Music: Ameriie "Every Time"

So I'm months late about one of my favorite RnB singers out in the game now who is the incredible Ameriie. This past March (during my blog break), Ameriie released a new single entitled "Every Time" that will appear on her upcoming LP titled The Prelude. It's been a while since we've seen Ameriie on the music scene a lot has changed in her life such as changing her name from Amerie to Ameriie, getting married, changing her hair color to blonde, then to chopping it all off and now being an independent artist. There's so much I want to know with what's been up in Ameriie's life. The last we heard about her was on her latest album Love & War back in late 2009 early 2010. 

"Every Time" the new single has a soft RnB/HipHop feel to it, like her earlier work on her first album All I Have; which bloomed her career with hits such as "Why Don't We Fall In Love" and "Talkin' To Me". If you ask me "Every Time" could be the love child of the two All I Have hits. As I stated the song buzzed in March and it's now July entering August, Ameriie I hope we're getting to see a video for the nice summer song or a follow up single. I hope Ameriie pulls forth with this new LP, I just wanted to share with you the new song if you haven't heard.

R.I.P Kyle Glover

This weekend has been nothing but even more heartaches and sadness now that Tameka Foster-Raymond has decided to take her son off life support early Saturday morning. Tameka, family and friends held on for 14 days strong praying and wishing Kyle would come responsive due to his jet ski incident causing him to be announced braid dead. Usher who has been very supportive at this time of need is also grieving, he took Kyle under his wing as his own son; the two shared a close bond.  

My Condolences Are With Tameka And Kyle's Loved Ones At This Time; For No Mother Should Have To Bury Their Own Child. Such A Sad Loss, But Kyle Is Now Tameka's And His Family's Guardian Angel Protecting Them From The Dangers Down Below On Earth. R.I.P Kyle Glover. 

GOD BLESS Tameka Foster-Raymond! - LaTroy Watson

Throwback Friday - Danity Kane "Show Stopper"

In honor of the previous post about Shannon Bex's country cover of "Damaged" and the whole Danity Kane hoopla, I decided for today's Throwback Friday I take you back to 2006, where the lucky five girls were picked to be in the multi-platinum recording group Danity Kane with their first single "Show Stopper". 

If Danity Kane would have stayed together and worked out their differences, i'm pretty sure they wol have release two more albums before disbanding. Dawn Richard, D. Woods, Shannon Bex, Aundrea Fimbres and Aubrey O'Day there will NEVER be another reality tv girl group to hit amazing boundaries as you all did, magnificant music and chemistry, I miss you much! Here's today's Throwback Friday Danity Kane with "Show Stopper".  

Danity Kane's Shannon Bex "Damaged" Country Cover

Anyone remember Danity Kane member Shannon Bex? Well, it looks like the girls have branched off doing well in their own solo ventures. Shannon Bex who is now married and is pursing a solo career in the genre of Country is set to release her self titled EP very soon. Meanwhile, she's started a YouTube Channel where she's posting videos of the journey to creating her EP along the way singing country covers of songs that are favorites.

In this particular video Shannon was asked to cover her once top selling female pop group Danity Kane's "Damaged" off their second album Welcome To The Dollhouse. Though in the beginning of the video Shannon states she's over the whole Danity Kane era then performs the fan favorite song acoustically in a country version which sounded so beautiful. hannon has always been a country singer and if you payed attention to MTV's Making the Band, you could see Shannon vocally auditioning a country song; which I don't blame her because country singing is definitely one of her strong attributes. 

Deep down inside I pray to the heavens above Danity Kane will resurface to put out some more albums and take the music industry by storm...but until then we have their individual projects which I'm still trying to get used too. Take a look at Shannon perform her country version of "Damaged".

How do you feel about Danity Kane's individual careers?

Throwback Thursday

Yessenia & Myself (Newark Circa 2008)

After hours of going through my old MySpace and FaceBook photo albums, I decided which pictures I was going  to use for Throwback Thursday. Back in 2008, after working a long day at The Newark Museum, I took the night out to hang with some best friends; Yessenia and her sister Diomarys. It was a chilled night that literally turned from going to the mall (we even ran into our friend Nicole at work) and then catching a late night movie. I LOVE these girls, WE ARE WAY PAST OVERDUE TO HANG OUT AGAIN!

Hope You Like Our Silly Pics!

VH1's Mama Drama

Last night VH1 premiered their new reality show titled Mama Drama, which is pairing five moms with their daughters to live in one big house in Las Vegas. Of course, there is going to be partying and chaos thrown in the mix. Only because mother's tend to be strong value holders and in most cases what one family's values or believes, may not be the same for another family. 

The cast includes a total of five mothers and a total of six daughters on more Loren having both her twins on the show (talk about double trouble). You might see a familiar face in the cast and that's because cast mate Ashley was scene on a previous season of Oxygen's Bad Girls Club. If that doesn't tell you how popping this show will be then you have no IDEA!!! 

Mama Drama comes on every Wednesday night at 10pm and for you as the episodes post on VH1, I will gladly share them with you, since DISH network and Viacom have been tsking for a while now. My review for the first episode...I will narrow it down to being very entertained and focused. I'm still trying to get to know the whole cast by face and name, honestly I only remember the twins Britney and Whitney and their mother Loren as well as Ashley since she was apart of the Bad Girls Club. I love how VH1 got mothers and daughters involved for a reality show, because this makes great TV! We all love some type of DRAMA, but I really prefer relatable drama rather than celebrity drama where I can't relate because I don't have the type of money they have.

VH1 Thank You, You Have Made My Wednesday Nights!!!

Throwback Thursday - Celebrity Edition "The Kardashians"

Since today is Throwback Thursday, I thought i'd join in the fun not only by posting my own pics but also adding some of my favorite celebrities pics as well. Randomly, I was on MySpace and I came across Kim and Kourtney Kardashian's pages and went rummaging through their photos. I found some really old pics the girls posted from when they first became known in the public eye; it's crazy how much they've changed their look and sense of style. 

I found myself in awe and laughing at some of the pictures, I really love the Kardashians when they weren't so glitz and glammed back then. Their natural beauty and dark hair made them stand out from the typical Hollywood celebrity. If you don't remember then take a look at some of the pictures and see if you agree with me.

How many of you look back at your MySpace photos? 

New Music: Ellie Goulding Feat. Tinie Tempah "Hanging On"

Last week Ellie Goulding was nice enough to drop a new studio song she recorded with rapper Tinie Tempah titled "Hanging On" for fans on FaceBook. Along with being nice and giving us new music to bump to, she also made it downloadable for FREE. I love the mellowness in the beginning of the song and then somehow Tinie Tempah just raises the bar two notches. I'm obsessed with Ellie Goulding and her album LIGHTS btw, who wouldn't love her raspy UK voice?! Have you guys heard her album? Anyway, listen to the new song by Ellie Goulding down below and let me know what you think. 

Blue Ivy Carter Out & About [Unveiled]

After the first month Beyonce and Jay-Z's first born Blue Ivy's official photos were displayed on Beyonce's blog. Beyonce has done a fine job of keeping Blue Ivy covered up from the paps until now. 

Earlier today pics of the mommy and daughter went viral as Beyonce finally unveiled baby Blue Ivy. The two seemed to be out and about in New York City like the usual mommy and daughter outing. The 6 month year old looked so beautiful with a head full of curly hair, Blue Ivy looks a bit like her mogul father Jay-Z and has Bey's nose and eyes. Then after their day in Beyonce quickly covered baby Blue shielding her from the paps.

Instagram of the Week - Makael86

Cute, funny, adorable and one half of the YouTube highly favorite vlog review The Skorpion Show, Makael McClendon is this week's Instagramer of the Week. The reason why Makael has been chosen, because he's been a favorite Instagramer of mine for some time now; he doesn't overdue the posting, he posts great inspirational quotes, adds humorous shade to some of his photos he has uploaded of celebrities and overall he's very photogenic. Makael is just a cute and highly intelligent young man from Philly trying to make those big bucks. Be sure to follow Makael on Instagram if you have the iPhone/Android app; but I advise you to beware because if you attack BEYONCE, OH HE WILL STING BACK 10 FOLD!!! :-)!  

OH NO SHE DIDN'T! Beyonce Rocks Blonde Box Braids

In accompany of her husband Jay-Z, Beyonce attended rapper NAS "Life Is Good" dinner showing up as the flashback 1999 Destiny's Child braid hairstyle; only actually Beyonce was giving us long blonde box braids. Beyonce at the dinner kindly didn't want to be the center of attention (which was hard to tell) and opted not to have any photos taken of her or with anyone; that it was NAS's celebration and night (THIS IS WHY WE LOVE BEYONCE; SO HUMBLE!!!) Clearly, a party goer couldn't help but continue to be all on Bey's shhhmeat when they snapped some photos and it hit the next yesterday. 

Check out another shot of the blonde box braided diva below:

Mariah Carey To Join The American Idol Judges Panel?!

Is The Deal Really Close To Being Sealed?

Just after American Idol judge Steven Tyler announced his departure from one of the greatest talent finder competition shows in the world, American Idol; Jennifer Lopez then followed stating she'd be leaving the judges panel also. Leaving producers to look for two more judges to sit alongside Randy Jackson.

The two lovable judges Tyler and Lopez would be greatly missed, but they both are reasoning their departure based on needing time to focus on their music careers. There were no feuds whatsoever, in fact Jennifer stated to ABC News Amy Robach "We had magic,I don't know, with him gone, it might be a different formula.". 

How does Mariah Carey come in this story? Well, there have been reports saying for the longest since Paula Abdul's departure in 2009, American Idol creator and once judge Simon Cowell has been trying to get Mariah Carey to sign on as a judge; that on Idol and his new FOX hit show The X-Factor, but conflicts in scheduling refrained from Carey being a judge. However, last week a very close source told US Weekly "They are in serious talks with Mariah and it's very close to being a done deal." If Carey is chosen to be American Idol's newest judge, Randy will sign off as a judge and become a mentor to the next batch of hopefuls. 

I'm not sure what to think of the whole situation, I really believe American Idol needs to have steady judges who will sign on for a long time and not up and leave. I never knew Mariah Carey to be very critical verbally, I kind of want MiMi to stick to being a mentor and not a judge. BUT who knows, she might just have something stored up her sleeves for us LAMBS <3!
