While I'm waiting for the results of today's election, I was looking back at the number one songs of this special day in years past. Let's reminisce, shall we?
TODAY: Maroon 5- One More Night
2008: T.I.- Whatever You Like
2004: Usher/Alicia Keys- My Boo [I'm glad she's hitting the O in the screenshot....]
2000: Creed- Arms Wide Open [Shoulda been the first sign we were gonna make a bad decision]
1996: Blackstreet- No Diggity
1992: Boys II Men- End of the Road
I mean really, the only questionable song on that list is Creed, and we all know where that election led us.
That shall end my political talk forever.
Here's to a night of celebrating the end of political ads, drinking too much, playing on Twitter, and a happy ending!
Tweet I'm all for doing something creative to raise money for charity. I think Alicia Keys' idea of "dying"/removing her and other celebs from all social media until a certain amount of money is raised is genius. That's what they're doing as of today in order to raise money for Keep A Child Alive and World AIDS Day.
Lady Gaga, Khloe and Kim Kardashian, Usher, Elijah Wood, Justin Timberlake, Swizz Beatz, Ryan Seacrest, Serena Williams, the Buried Life boys, Jennifer Hudson, and Kimberly Cole are just some of the dead celebs.
What I think is maybe a little too far is the whole posing in a coffin thing.
Most of them got into a coffin, in a pretty lifeless position, and made themselves literally appear dead.
[More of the pictures can be found here.] I just think it's too much. It freaks me out. Maybe it's because I've been lucky enough to only have to attend one viewing in my lifetime, but now I'm going to have nightmares of the Buried Life guys not completing their list because people didn't donate money.
... I guess that's what they want though, huh?
What are your thoughts? Am I just a big baby? I can handle it if I am.
It's officially confirmed! Alicia Keys is going to be the most beautiful mama ever!
She confirmed tonight that her and Swizz Beats are engaged AND expecting a lil one! The baby bump pictures were totally real!
Seriously, though... Imagine how beautiful their baby is going to be. SB isn't THAT hott, but her perfection will totally come through and match with his and danggg... Their baby could totally become my new favorite Hollywood baby... [Especially since Suri is getting old now.]
I can't freakin' wait to see her all big and preggers... And imagine her wedding pictures!
...Okay, I need to calm down. I'm pumped, that's all.
The best thing about Tuesdays= New music! Let's hear it!
Robin Thicke ft. Nicki Minaj--> Shakin' It For Daddy
Oh what a raunchy little song... Kinda. I hate when guys say things like this, but I'm diggin' the song. Not sure how I feel about this Nicki chic, but I think I can get used to her.
Alicia Keys--> Sleeping With a Broken Heart
It's a different sound for Alicia, I feel. It's a softer sound rather than the very bold singing we're used to. I don't hate it, that's for sure. It almost has a 90s feel to me, too.
Benny Blanco--> Bounce
This song isn't anything new, fresh, something we've never heard before, but that doesn't mean it's not going to be a huge hit. It has potential, my friends. I enjoy it.
Chris Brown-- Crawl
Everyone is saying Rihanna's album is going to be a lot of reflecting, but I'm thinking Chris Brown's is going to be too. It's obvious he was hoping for them to get back together, and this is a great, cute song about trying to give it another chance and make it great again.
Green River Ordinance--> Come On
I always think I'm not going to like these songs, and I always skip them on my iPod, but whenever I play them, I totally enjoy them. I don't know who these guys are, but I'll listen.
Pitbull ft. Akon--> Shut it Down
Pitbull and Akon both create gold these days. Need I say more? I'm sure we'll be hearing plenty of this... In the club, on the radio, in the cars... Wherever.
Jessie James--> My Cowboy
Oh snap! Jessie James is on the country side now, too! She's totally my new favorite female [next to Britney, of course.] I love every song she's done, she's totally hott, and anyone can like her... Even guys who don't like country will find something to enjoy here, am I right?!
Now for the Country music via links: [They just open into a new window or Windows Media Player, so don't be afraid! Click it! :)]
Brad Paisley--> American Saturday Night Brad Paisley's lyrics are always great, hands down. I'm not always a huge fan of the sound, but this one is totally fun. It represents everyone.
Today marks the 1 year anniversary for Tunes on Tuesday!!! How exciting, right?!? I guess I better make it a good one!
Usher--> Papers
Apparently he has a new album "Raymond vs. Raymond" in the beginning of December! I think he's back, my friends! Well, he never really left... But I fully enjoy it. Lovelovelove.
Jay Sean ft. Sean Paul and Lil Jon--> Do You Remember?
This guy is like straight out of a boy band, and I love it. Interesting mix with Sean Paul and Lil Jon, but I can imagine this being huge, especially with the teen girls.
T-Pain--> Take Your Shirt Off
It's hard for me to comprehend that it's a song with ONLY T-Pain. He's a beast, though... Anything he does is good.
Jada--> Break-up Song
I posted a song called "American Cowboy" by them a couple months ago and I liked it. This isn't bad, either. It reminds me of a song from a couple years ago but I can't put my finger on it... Maybe old-school Pussycat Dolls or something.
Asher Roth ft. Keri Hilson--> She Don't Want a Man
I'll be honest.. I thought we'd forget about him after the college song. Now he's making music with Keri Hilson?! He's not the most talented out there, but he has catchy songs.
Mya ft. Bun B--> Show Me Somethin'
First of all, homegirl is lookin' HOTT! The break she took did her good! She sounds good, too, and I'm totally diggin' the song! Downloaded!
TI--> Hell of a Life
Have I already posted the song? I don't think I have.... For some reason I like TI... This song isn't OMG AMAZING, but it's definitely worth your time.
Michael Jackson--> This Is It
The King is gone, but his music lives on! His first released single [I'm sure there will be plenty] since his death... It's very We Are The World, I feel. The lyrics are awesome. Because it's MJ, you have to get it.
Alicia Keys--> Doesn't Mean Anything
Wow, I feel like she's been gone for a while... But, like many people this week, she's back! I love her and her voice.
Jason Castro--> Let's Just Fall In Love Again
Remember him from Idol?!? I loved him! I was wondering and hoping he'd do something, and this just might be it! Either I'm in a good music mood, or all of these songs are fabulous today.
Mariah Carey--> I Want to Know What Love Is
She redid this song originally by Foreigner, and I actually like it! It sounds a little fake, but maybe it'll sound better off of YouTube, yeah?!
Uncle Kracker--> Smile
Wait... WHAT?! Uncle Kracker is still around?!? I feel like this is the kind of song I will play over and over again just so I can sing along... Hmmm. Uh oh.
Leighton Meester ft. Robin Thicke--> Somebody to Love
A lot of people are going nuts over this song saying it's amazing. I'm on the fence. I don't think it's GREAT, but I'll get down to it.
Alright that's going to do it! Enjoy your new playlist!
I was just surfing around for American Idol stuff last night and found this guy, and I'm really glad I did.
I don't know much about him besides the fact that he's from Boyce Avenue and his name is Alejandro Manzano and he sings a bunch of popular songs with the acoustic guitar. And oh yeah, they're amazing.
This one is my favorite so far... He mixed Alicia Keys, Jordin Sparks and Black Eyed Peas/Justin Timberlake into one song, that sounds GREAT! How he came up with it, I'll never know, but it's remarkable [Woah! New word for me!] and you need to watch/listen.
I have officially started to follow them on Twitter so hopefully I'll get plenty more things to share with you! Also, Ellen needs to have this guy on her show PRONTO.
In honor of Glamour Magazine's 70th anniversary, several female celebs got together and posed as iconic women of the past 70 years.
The people they got to do it are very different from one another.. It's a great variety. Not sure if I love some of the picks, but Alicia Keys makes a GREAT Michelle Obama, and I'm totally okay with Alexis Bledel as Rosie the Riveter and Hayden Panettiere looks good [as always] as Amelia Earhart.
I am NOT okay with Lindsay Lohan being Madonna. There really wasn't anyone else?!
And there was no Marilyn Monroe. Weird?
Here's some more [click to make bigger, duh], but if you want ALL of them, AND the descriptions/more information, click here.
Emma Stone as Carrie Bradshaw and Camilla Belle as Mary Tyler Moore Paula Patton as Billie Holiday America Ferrera as Dolores Huerta and Emma Roberts as Audrey Hepburn
It's a pretty sweet idea, really. I fully enjoy it.
