the covers of entertainment weekly in 1993 were just weird

I was trying to come up with the perfect word to describe this collection of magazine covers, but I just don't know that I can. As much as I always read about the 90s and remember them and love them, these all seem to come from a different planet now.

Marky Mark Wahlberg, shirtless, carefree, and rapping. As much as I know it happened, I still can't imagine it anymore.

CAN YOU BELIEVE MICHAEL JACKSON?! Well, yeah... but do we get it?! Still no.

So what you're saying is... it's just a cult hit, it'll never go anywhere, and it's got nothing to offer to pop culture? Oh.

Here's the thing... I feel like nowadays, people go from good-bad, not bad-good. All those Disney girls? They wanna be as much anti-Disney as possible now. Were good girls actually sexy back then?!

Sex and family shows sharing the spotlight... well, maybe that's not so weird nowadays.

OMGOMGOMG CONEHEADS! IT'S GOING TO BE SO GOOD! [Side note: At least all these movies were original! Aren't we just getting remakes and sequels in the summer these days?]

You rock that all denim and plaid, Tom! ...Wait.... he's a leading man NOW?! [Makes me wonder who will end up becoming a legend like him in another 20 years. Any bets?]

WHY IS EVERYTHING ABOUT REINVENTION?! Did everyone hate themselves? Was there a depression or something I'm unaware of?! 

Quite simple why this one's weird: Radio people never make the headlines of this level for something they did themselves these days. Everyone's too afraid of getting fired or getting fined. It's sad, huh? Trust me, I know.

Considering I don't know who he is, I guess it never really worked out for him. I'm sure he appreciates the effort though, EW. 

BTW These are the past 6 covers.... I don't think I need to prove the lack of originality anymore.... but props to Dexter.

christina aguilera looks beyond scary and awful at michael jackson tribute

Woah, heyzeus! We knew Christina Aguilera was losing herself and looking a little rough, but I think this transformation trumps any that Kelly Clarkson, Britney Spears or Jessica Simpson could even have nightmares about.

Look at these pictures from her performance at the Michael Jackson tribute and try not to cry or vomit.

There is no excuse for letting yourself go like that. She needs a wake-up call.

watch: amazing michael jackson a capella songs

Tweet Consider this my "YouTube Channel of the Week," since I said I'd start doing that.

This a Capella group, Duwende, posted a bunch of Michael Jackson songs, and they're all incredible. The first one that caught my eye [err... ear?] was Thriller, though.



Flipping INCREDIBLE.

I guess they know that's what they're good at and what a lot of people will be drawn to, because they did some more MJ faves:

Billie Jean-



Remember the Time-



Human Nature-



Gah. I am officially and quickly OBSESSED! The guy who sings most of the Michael Jackson parts is really good. I WANT MORE!

While I go listen to them over and over again at high volumes in the studio, subscribe to them.

• Someone's getting better
• Someone's rich
• Someone's married
• The debut of Michael Jackson's new song

Speaking of "Breaking News," MJ's brand new song, what are your thoughts? Do you think it's really him, an imposter, or maybe a little of both?

I definitely think it's him, I just don't think it's his best work, hence why he never released it himself. In fact- It sounds all too "Britney Spears- Piece of Me" to me.

because you want to know: chris brown's mj tribute

I've been pretty outspoken about this Chris Brown[/Rihanna] thing since the beginning. It's created quite the controversy and I can only imagine how many people I may piss off now that I'm in a conservative state.

Anyway- I don't have to explain what I thought then. You can look it up if you're interested. :)

What we shall talk about is the absolutely amazing tribute Chris did for Michael Jackson at the BET Awards last night. If you somehow missed it, watch it now-

I think it was extraordinary. [Woo! There's a new word for me!] Chris is about as close as you're going to get [minus the little 4 year old Asian boy] to dancing like Mike, and he's clearly got the passion.

A lot of people are saying they think he faked the breakdown. That's dumb. You can't fake a breakdown that serious. That's genuine. That's him feeling something and relating to MJ and mourning his death. He was actually about to sing, not lip sync, but he couldn't. It was a magical moment. You can't fake that kind of magic.

I think Chris may have felt a connection with Michael Jackson that I've noticed between the two. [Here is where people are going to get mad.]

MJ's family have been trying to get it through everyone's heads how wrong it is that the world as a whole didn't show him the kind of respect he deserved while he was alive because of the "child molester" reputation he got. He got a bad rap and people wouldn't look past it.

Rumors circulated and "proof" was given that he was doing bad things to kids, and suddenly the world turned on the King of Pop. His music stopped having the same effect on many people. They started saying his lyrics were fake. This all happened even though no one truly knows what did or didn't happen. He was even acquitted, but the image remained.

Does this sound familiar to you? Chris Brown may or may not have been 100% at fault for the Rihanna incident. We don't know what happened. Only the two of them know the full story. Either way, Chris is taking the blame, doing community service, and watching his career fade into the sunset.

Sure, Chris Brown probably won't be some legendary King of R&B or anything... And yes, the bruises prove that something happened. Either way- He's an incredible artist, dancer, entertainer, and person. He still has a lot to share with the world, but many people want him gone.

It's not fair that people judged Michael Jackson on things that might have happened and now he'll never really know how appreciated he was. I think Chris sees this. He hears the Jackson family. He feels their pain and he fears it'll happen to him.

I could be making this up, but I don't think I'm too far off. I think it's time to let go of what happened in the past and let these people make music that we all know we still love, regardless of who they are.

/sermon. Cue the arguments.

watch: megan fox drawn in photoshop

I can't remember how long ago it was that I posted the video of the guy who had painted Aubrey HO'Day on Photoshop, but I do remember how freakin' cool it was and I've wondered why no more have popped up.

Well, I've found some more!

This guy, Nico Di Mattia, is basically a Photoshop god and has a whole YouTube channel of his "speed paintings."

The most popular, and probably my favorite, is one of Megan Fox.



On a scale of 1-10, the awesomeness is absolutely at a 10. I can't draw on paper, let alone the computer!

This one of Michael Jackson is also pretty amazing:



Someone teach me to be amazing, please? This "job" shows me more and more how ordinary I am. Hmph.

watch: we are the world 25 for haiti

I know I'm a couple days late getting this up, but I keep thinking today is Monday! Stupid snow and holidays messing me up!

Anyway, it finally aired during the opening ceremonies of the Winter Olympics! The "We Are The World" remake with 23987 different celebrities coming together to sing what I said earlier would be amazing, epic, etc.

I'm going to go ahead and say that I was right.



Before I watched it, I heard everyone else's thoughts on it. A lot of people really don't like it. They think it shouldn't have been remade, it has too much hip-hop, the auto-tuning is a disgrace... Even Jay Z thinks it's bad.

I can't help but to disagree. If you watch that video with an open mind and really look at everyone's faces, you'll probably tear up a bit. I did, anyway.

Everyone is so happy to be helping out. These people who are nothing but stars to us are showing real emotion as they sing and come together as a huge group. Look at how much fun they're having!

I know I always hate the idea of remakes and sequels to classic songs, but the whole point of "We Are The World" was to help Africa and other countries. I think it's a perfect idea to remake it.

As for the hip-hop/auto-tuning, yea, I think it's a bit awkward in the middle, but it represents the music we have today. We don't have the wholesome music we had 25 years ago. We have Akon, T-Pain, and Lil Wayne on every song on the radio right now. If they didn't take their part in this song, it wouldn't mean the same thing.

All that being said, if you didn't watch the video before really observing these things and appreciating them as they should be, I say watch it again.

Look at the eclectic array of people in that group. Look at Randy have the time of his life. Watch them all almost cry. Watch the youngins look at the surrounding legends. It's pretty amazing, people.

So amazing, that I'm using words like eclectic and array. What the f.

That's my public service announcement for today. If you want to donate, you can do it on iTunes, or right on the YouTube page for the song.

watch: single man a capella group

I guess single man and group is a bit of an oxymoron, eh?! Well, you'll get what I'm talkin' about when you watch Sam Tsui sing multiple times. The genius behind it all is Mr. Kurt Schneider [whose last name I want].

Check out his Michael Jackson medley:



Is that not one of the greatest things you've heard?! I LOVE it!! So much so that I even took the time to watch more of his videos! He's AWESOME!

They're not all "groups," but they're all entertaining and incredible.







Gah. I have a new obsession for now. They're so Disney Channel meets YouTube sensation meets something else great. Now all I need is for Ellen to have them on her show and my life will be complete.

watch: kids do the darnedest things

I have two videos of incredible kids that I must share.

First up- This is supposed to be a show put on by the guy awkwardly dancing in stilts, who decides to swing some random boy between his legs.

You may think something hilarious is going to happen like the stilts break, the boy falls, etc... False. Watch after the boy is put down. The show's star is no longer Mr. Stilts.



How jealous are you of his moves?! I'm 20 years older than him and can't move like that! [Maybe it's the color of my skin that hurts my ability, but I'd like to think I can overcome that!]

I also still can't figure out how kids learn this stuff! They must be watching inappropriate videos that national TV would never allow these days. I mean, look! He's got the face down and everything!

But... If they didn't watch such videos, we wouldn't be able to watch these videos... Which is why I 100% support such acts.


Next up: Another little kid who clearly watches TV meant for an older audience, and makes sure to take close notes.

She's only 2 years old, but she knows the words to "You Belong With Me," completely a capella, and how to act out Taylor Swift's VMA performance.



She starts out being the cutest little thing I've ever seen, then she's like a miniature Miley Cyrus, stripping her clothes at a VERY young age!

The thing is.... I'm okay with her doing it! She's so freakin' precious and knows all the words and loves being the center of attention!


Basically... These two kids are exactly how I want my kids to be. If that means having 2 year-olds study the VMAs, I'm okay with that.

tunes on tuesday 101309

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!

love,
elizabethany

morning hangover 100909

HELLO!! HAPPY FRIDAY!!!

I know it's the afternoon, but yesterday was Thirsty Thursday... I thought I'd give all of us a little "me-time" this morning to recover. Now, let's have some fun on the internet!

• The crazy cat lady in me loves every bit of these rockstars with cats.
• CONGRATS to DC for being the #1 brainiest "state"!! MD is also on the list, but where's VA?!
• 25 actors and actresses who are way past their expiration date.
  
• Hmmm.. Sex positions that ladies thing the fellas like, but they don't.
• More sex: Myths that guys believe.
• Anddd even more: The diet to follow to have better sex.
  
• Are you like me and get a lot of speeding tickets? Maybe it's because you drive one of these cars.
• Drunk? Just call your 13 year old kid to come pick you up.
  
• "Whatever" has always been one my least favorite words and I hate when people say it to me. Apparently I'm not alone.
  
• Miley Cyrus+Notorious BIG= A great song!
  
  
• Here's a good idea for your kids' birthday present: A teddy bear featuring a vagina.
• More disturbing: A teddy bear made of real placenta. Gross.
• Hmmm.. Maybe he shoulda looked before he leaped.
• Can you see what's wrong with this picture?!
• Forget Jesus... People are finding Michael Jackson in random places.
• Suri Cruise is the cutest freakin' kid ever.
• Why get a car that everyone has?! Customized cupcake cars for $25K are so much better.
• Woah. Imagine waking up to a clown-deer on your front porch.
  
  
  
• This boy "pops it" better than Beyonce! Oh SNAP!!
  
  
  

Alright! That's enough to get you through to the weekend!! Have a great one!!

love,
elizabethany

watch: surprise dance before the garter removal

I got an email the other day from someone suggesting I watch this video. Apparently they went to their friend's wedding and right before the groom went to remove the garter, he had a surprise for his new wife.

It's a pretty hilarious video and you need to watch it now because it sort of has a personal connection. Someone who reads this blog was totally there, which basically means we all were there... Right? Maybe?



First of all- White boy can dance!!
Second- They obviously planned this whole thing out and practiced quite a bit which made the "show" PERFECT!!!
Third- Whatever guy I find that is willing to put up with me for his whole life, I hope that he does something hilarious like this at our wedding. I won't even care if he takes the spotlight away from me for a while, it will be amazing.

Thank you, Mattea for sending me the link to this video!
To the groom: You're amazing and I think you should start crashing some weddings.
To the bride: You're one lucky lady and I'm a little jealous! :-P Hopefully you liked it as much as we all did!

love,
elizabethany

celebrating or remembering the summer of death

Finally... As of this past week, the Summer of Death is officially over. We can live with smiles on our faces and without fear of hearing another icon has passed away.

This will, without a doubt, be a summer to remember because of it all, though. So... A town in Ohio decided to make a collection of some of the skeletons we will certainly miss.

Some of them are very... Well.... Some people might say "it's too soon." They're hilarious if you can look past that, though. Fo sho.

Michael Jackson



Farrah Fawcett


Billy Mays

There are actually more at this little "exhibit", but they're not from this summer.

When I first looked at it I thought it was pretty terrible but ya know... After losing as many celebrities as we did, something like this only makes sense. I think of it as a way to celebrate their life, remember them, and remember the summer of 2009. AKA: The Summer of DEATH.

RIP Summer of Death. We will not miss you.

morning hangover 082609

I got really sick of calling these posts "Rise and Shine." It seemed so dull, lame, and not very "elizabethany."

New name: Morning Hangover. It's more fitting because it's a collection of things I didn't post the night before....

So.. GOOD MORNING! Let's cure this hangover, shall we?!

• Want to know if you're a fearless badass? Can you ride a municycle? I bet my brother and dad would try this... It's mountain-unicycling.
• Jurassic Park: The Real Deal. Thanks to chickens, it might be a real-life thing soon.
  
• 11 of your favorite sitcoms have porn parodies. Have you seen them? I don't recommend watching this at work, unless your Big Mr. Bossman or something.
  
• If you carry cash, you're carrying cocaine... You druggie. Bad girl/boy!
• Animals make O-faces too! They're pretty precious when they do.
  
• A graph to explain what sex is like for people in the movies, in real life, and with two females is probably pretty accurate. [Though I've never experienced girl on girl action, I'll take everyone's word for it.]
• Video proof that Michael Jackson is ALIVE!
  
  
  
• Lawnmower: 1. Woman: 0. Or maybe it should be the other way around? You be the judge.
  
  
  
• Ronald McDonald is a hott mess while getting interviewed by PETA. [Sponsored by Funny or Die.]
  
  
  Bonus: Creepiest Ronald McDonald pictures ever.
  

Alright, that should be enough to get you through the morning and into the afternoon! Enjoy your HUMP DAY, everyone!

top songs of summer 2009

I was sitting here updating my iTunes and making CDs and decided to research the "official" songs of Summer 2009. I found a couple lists, but none seemed to be very updated.

This are the Top 5 songs that are played on the radio this season from Rhapsody:

1. LoveGame--> Lady Gaga
2. Waking Up in Vegas--> Katy Perry
3. 1901--> Phoenix
4. Don't Trust Me--> 3OH!3
5. Hot Revolver--> Lil Wayne

These are the top songs according to People Magazine:

• I Gotta Feeling--> Black Eyed Peas
• LoveGame--> Lady Gaga
• Goodbye--> Kristinia DeBarge
• Battlefield--> Jordin Sparks
• Please Don't Leave Me--> Pink
• Best I Ever Had--> Drake
• Birthday Sex--> Jeremih
• Use Somebody--> Kings of Leon
• 21 Guns--> Green Day
• Man in the Mirror--> Michael Jackson

And apparently these are the top country songs:

1. Livin For the Night--> George Strait
2. Summer Nights--> Rascal Flatts
3. Small Town USA--> Justin Moore
4. Indian Summer--> Brooks & Dunn
5. Alright--> Darius Rucker

I can't 100% agree with any of these lists. Somewhat-working in radio gives me the knowledge of the 5 songs you're guaranteed to hear every hour:

• Halo--> Beyonce
• Don't Trust Me--> 3OH!3
• That's Not My Name--> Ting Tings
• I Gotta Feeling and/or Boom Boom Pow--> Black Eyed Peas
• LoveGame--> Lady Gaga
• and Taylor Swift.. Whether it be Love Story or You Belong With Me

Now, because you care and like to know my opinion, I shall come up with my own list of top songs for Summer 2009. [This is based on a combination of good representation of what we have heard AND great songs.]

Honorable Mention: When Love Takes Over--> Kelly Rowland and David Guetta
A lot of people probably don't agree with me, but if you ever go to McFadden's in DC [like I do every Friday night] then you'll hear this song and magically transport to this super-fun place and hear everyone banging on the walls to the beat.

10. Don't Trust Me--> 3OH!3
"Do the Helen Keller, and talk with your hiiiiiiiips." How can you not think of this summer when you hear that line? It's on repeat everywhere I go. [The line, that is.. Not the entire song.]

9. Goodbye--> Kristinia DeBarge
Unfortunately this song didn't play on the radio enough, I don't think. This girl is great, and it's a great song and should have been blasted constantly. That's really the only explanation I have.

8. Waking Up in Vegas--> Katy Perry
A song about going out, getting plastered, and waking up in the morning like WTF. The definition of summer? Plus, it's Katy Perry. She had the #2 song of last summer and she's undeniable.

7. Good Girls Go Bad--> Cobra Starship ft. Leighton Meester
This song is coming into play at the end of the summer, but it's a good, up-beat song to get you pumped up. Add in the rumor/pictures of Leighton, the Gossip Girl star, having a sex tape, and you got yourself a song worth talking about and listening to.

6. Sideways--> Dierks Bentley
I love country songs in the summer. There's nothing better than driving down the highway, windows down, blasting country music and singing at the top of your lungs. Another song about going out and drinking, with a good sound-- A++.

5. LoveGame--> Lady Gaga
Like Katy Perry, she's irresistible. I don't know that there is going to be a time where we don't have a Gaga song on constant rotation at the radio stations anytime soon. People love 'em all. Add in a girl taking a ride on a disco stick and well... It's a nice raunchy song that kids won't understand.

4. Out Last Night--> Kenny Chesney
Kenny Chesney is the definition of summertime right up there with Jimmy Buffet. Like I said before- Songs about going out are also the definition of summertime. Two definitions in one?! Shoot... It's a no-brainer!

3. Boom Boom Pow/I Gotta Feeling--> Black Eyed Peas
Going an hour at the beginning of the summer without hearing Boom Boom Pow would have been a miracle... Now that's the case with I Gotta Feeling. The best part about it: I still love both of the songs!

2. The Way You Make Me Feel--> Michael Jackson
Let's be real for a second... Michael Jackson IS this summer. His death was the most tragic day of the summer, and to this day everyone is still talking about him, his death, his scandals, whatever they're digging up at the moment. This is my favorite song of his.

1. Summer Nights--> Rascal Flatts
Does this really need an explanation? It's called Summer Nights. It's by Rascal Flatts. The lyrics are fantastic, the beat is super fun, and it won't ever get old! It's the title of my playlist for all of these songs, and the lyrics are the titles of all my Facebook photo albums for these couple of months. Love, love, love it, and you better agree!

What would you add?! How would your list go?! Add it below, or vote for your faves! I'll post the results on Thursday to bring back the day of Top 10's.



Now I shall go sing.

love,
elizabethany
