#musicmonday - Fight to Sing!

The headline screamed: American Idol Contestant Brutally Beaten By Gang Of Girls

Truthfully, the "American Idol" part of the story is what I call "American broadcast media hype" --- 17-year old Shacara McLaurin did actually try out during on eof the TV show's low-level auditions, but didn't make the cut. The April 1st attack on the singing schoolgirl from New York City happened outside the home of the aspiring singer's vocal coach: of curse the victim WAS WARNED ON FACEBOOK the night before she was pummelled with a padlock-wrapped-in-a-sock.

MORAL: Parents, kids and others: if you see any threat on a social network, TELL SOMEBODY! If you see something, say something!

There are additional reports that the beating was over the affections of a boy. ALSO we have NO IDEA what kind of person McLaurin is when around classmates. I've known girls who are so sweet and adorbale around adults but turn into a-holes when in the company of peers.

#musicmonday RIP Daddy

To Pops: Thank-u for the times you dried my tears and carried me on your shoulders, sang me to sleep at night, tasted the first food I ever cooked and said "it's good." Seems like yesterday you held me in your arms.

I did not upload this video, I simply found it accidentally on youtube while looking for something else. I am so glad I did!


Happy Music Monday Everyone!

#musicmonday - If God Was A Girl

Is God male or female? God is spirit. Spirit has no gender. Yet God is usually depicted as a man. I personally believe that God understands both men and women but is beyond gender. I view God not so much as a king on a throne, but rather a force or power or essence in the universe.

I've seen this video on other blogs. Obviously, somebody out there thinks that if God had a name, it would be Beyonce!

#musicmonday Girl+Guy+Guitar

Last week here on MM I presented three youtube selects for you. One was an a-capella performance by the Ronettes, who prove that TRUE talent doesn't need fancy production or scoring. While music critics have applauded Janelle Monae's works, her true talent (as well as her accompanist's guitar prowess) shines on this low-tech version of Monae's trademark "I'm an alien from outer space..." Recorded LIVE on a flip device at a Record Shop! I can watch this video a million times an hour!

#music monday - ♫ A Gift of Music ♫

"The night is young, but time is old" sings Yasmin - Yasmin blogs too: "I often get people saying to me I seem to have come out of no-where and got to where I am right now, but the truth is I’ve worked my ass off, I’ve put up with things and pursued a lot of things that many people would’ve given up on, I don’t need to be congratulated or praised for it, I’m fully aware it’s just a necessary step. Another lesson I’ve learnt is that talent, contacts, wealth etc mean absolutely f*** all unless you’re willing to work haaaaaaaard, but the beauty of working towards the career you’ve dreamed of is that it never feels like work :) they say if you love what you do, you’ll never have to work a day in your life."
