It Happens Everytime

♪ Baby Down on Dream Street ♪ Getting tired of all the 90's (and early 2000's) music flash back posts? You better get use to it because I don't plan on stopping anytime soon. Remember Dream Street? I wasn't a huge fan of them..actually this is the only song that I know of. Regardless, I had a huge huge huge crush on Chris Trousdale. I can't recall if it was his organge tan, frosted tips, or spikey gelled hair that attracted me to him. Ha! Oh and how cute is JMac? He almost looks exactly the same as he does today. Speaking of JMac...As you may or may not know, Jesse has joined the cast of Greek (Currently my favorite TV show!). I was skeptical at first but he's not that bad. New episode on tonight. Sucks that I have yto watch it online since Canada does have ABC. I can't wait!

Seriously...This show is insanely good. Full of hot guys (haha) *cough* Scott Michael Foster *cough*, plus it's really funny too! Check it out if you already haven't. It'll make you want to join a sorority/fraternity for sure!

I MISS THE 90'S

Anyone remember the band 'Wave'? Their most popular song would have to be 'California'. I was just listening to it on my ipod and I randomly searched up the music video on Youtube.
After watching it I turned to the related videos section. It listed a ton of other 90's (and early 2000's) bands. Do you remember the band 'Sky'? I loved their song 'Some Kinda Wonderful'. It also brought me to Mandy Moore's video for 'Crush'. I still remember all the lyrics! Someone commented on one of the video's saying:

"MuchMusic was better in the late 90's, but then in the early 2000's it started to get material from VH1, then around 2004 it started getting more from MTV. Sad that CTVGlobemedia owns MuchMusic and MTV Canada, Much More Retro is good, and so is MUCH Loud and Vibe, but Much More Music also sucks, except for a few shows."

^^I totally agree. Much music/Much More Music was awesome in the 90's (So was YTV!). Pop-up video anyone? :)

Listening to all this music made me feel so nostaglic. I wish I had a time machine. I miss the 90's!

*I know I posted something like this before but I can't get enough! :P

Miley Cyrus gets pwnd

Youtube singer Alyssa Bernal sings Miley Cyrus' song "The Climb". I personally prefer this version. I love her videos! Her "Drive my Soul" by Lights cover is really good too. She also looks a hell of a lot like Vanessa Hudgens dontcha think? Kind of freaky.

EDIT 4/10/09: I take that back. I like both versions. Miley just butchers the song when she sings it live. Other than that it's good. :)

Back in the day

I was surfing Youtube the other day I came across some old '3LW' music videos. This really brought on a lot of old memories. One thing lead to another and before you knew it I was searching up ancient music videos from the 90's. Boy do I miss the 90's/early 2000's! Remember the TV shows 'Uh-oh' and 'The Hit List'? Pop music and TV back then was pretty enjoyable.

Of course you have the Backstreet Boys (I was OBSESSED!) and N'sync. But anyone remeber B44 or O-Town? How about 2gether and SClub 7? I wanted to be so much like Rachel. I remember watching their TV shows on Much Music. Who could forget Hanson, BBMak, or The Moffatts. Mmmbop is a classic! I also loved Westlife and Soul Decision. There were some great girl groups too like Spice Girls, Dream, Atomic Kitten, Play, A*Teens, and 3LW of course. Did I miss any?

I LOVE THIS SONG. It's not quite from the 90's (It's from 2000) but close enough. Classic!

Oh my, oh my, B44. This is like the epitome of 90's teen pop music.

The funny thing is. After all these years I still remeber the lyrics to all the songs.

For me, the 90's were the years of Boy Bands, Light Brite, Boy Meets World, Full House, Carmen San Diego, Tamagotchi, Playstation, and Lisa Frank. When frosted tips were actually desirable in a guy and wearing a ponytail on the side of your head was cool. I could go on forever. Comment if I missed anything important.

What do YOU guys think? The 90's, Love it or Hate it? What were your favorite bands, TV shows, and just other things in general.

Hope it brings back as much memories for you as it did for me. Enjoy!

FEARLESS

So I finally go myself a copy of Taylor Swift's 2nd album 'Fearless' this past weekend. I know it seems super late being a huge fan and all. My excuse? I'm cheap and I was waiting for it to go on sale. It was only $12.00 at Walmart! I already know all the songs give or take a few, but the CD booklet was (obviously) new to me.

Here's a little excerpt from the back of the booklet (you know, the part where the artist thanks people?). It's long but it's well worth your time reading it:

"This album is called 'Fearless,' and I guess I'd like to clarify why we chose that as the title. To me, 'Fearless' is not the absence of fear. It's not being completely unafraid. To me, fearless is having fears. Fearless is having doubts. Lots of them. To me, Fearless is living in spite of those things that scare you to death. Fearless is falling madly in love again, even though you've been hurt before. Fearless is walking into your freshmen year of high school at fifteen. Fearless is getting back up and fighting for what you want over and over again...even though every time you've tried before, you've lost. It's fearless to have faith that someday things will change. Fearless is having the courage to say goodbye to someone who only hurts you, even if you can't breathe without them. I think it's fearless to fall for your best friend, even though he's in love with someone else. And when someone apologizes to you enough times for things they'll never stop doing, I think it's fearless to stop believing them. It's fearless to say 'you're not sorry,' and walk away. I think loving someone despite what people think is fearless. I think allowing yourself to cry on the bathroom floor is fearless. Letting go is fearless. Then, moving on and being alright...that's fearless too. But no matter what love throws at you, you have to believe in it. You have to believe in love stories and prince charmings and happily ever after. That's why I write these songs. Because I think love is FEARLESS. "

I don't know about you but I thought that was kind of amazing. Very inspirational. As dorky and weird as it sounds, when I first read that it made me tear up a bit (In a good way). I don't know why. I guess I'm just a loser. Haha. I cry easily.

-"'Fearless' is not the absence of fear. It's not being completely unafraid. To me, fearless is having fears. Fearless is having doubts. Lots of them. To me, Fearless is living in spite of those things that scare you to death. " I love that.

-"Fearless is walking into your freshmen year of high school at fifteen." I remeber that day quite clearly. I remeber being a huge dork trying to figure out how to open my lock on my way home. Freshman year was scary.

I just thought I'd share this with all of you. Reading this made me love, appreciate, and respect Taylor more than before. She's honest and real. Listen to the album if you already haven't. Everyone can relate.

Finally...ANDREW W.K.

Couldn't actually embed it so just click on the link. This performance made me love Andrew W.K. He gives and insane performance. Check him out singing his song "Party Hard". The engery/vibe itself was just epic. Not usually my type of music but he just excreates awesomeness..I can't help but enjoy it.

Celeb fix of the day: Taylor Swift! Yay!

The lovely and extremely talented Taylor Swift graces the cover of Rolling Stone Magazine's March issue. She's seriously like my favorite person right now. She's such a talented songwriter and fame hasn't seem to have gotten to her head (which I respect). I'm not too crazy about the cover but the rest of the pictures are amazing. A wind machine can make anyone look great.

Taylro was also recently at the 2009 Brit Awards where she sported a beautiful dress by Kaufman Franco. She topped it off with a pair of gold Loubs, a Judith Leiber clutch, and David Yurman silver hoops with pavé diamonds (Outfit info credit to JustJared). That dress is so glamorous! I love it. It reminds me of broken shards of a mirror (They're really stone sequins btw). I approve! :)

Celeb fix of the day: Taylor Swift's "White Horse" Video//The Great Andrew W.K.

Hello!

So Taylor Swift FINALLY released her video for "White Horse". Do you know how long I've been waiting for this to come out? It's one of my favorite songs off "Fearless". I loved Taylor since her first album but after hearing Fearless I had a much much much more deeper appreciation for her. Whoa, run on sentence! She is such a talented song writer. I feel that what she writes about is something everyone can relate to, and she seems like a down to earth and genuine person. I can totally realte to "Hey Stephen"...well somewhat. Anyway on to the video. It wasn't realy what I envisioned it to be. I guess I expected a horse to actually in the video (shut-up!). But I liked it after watching it a couple times. It's the song that maters right? But what I enjoyed the most was seeing STEPHEN COLLETTI. I use to have a major crush on him ever since Laguna Beach season 1. He hasn't really changed much. He's just a little fatter. In conclusion, I liked the video and I can't wait to see what her next single will be. Great job Taylor!

Crap, now I'm too lazy to talk about Andrew W.K. I shall do a part 2 tomorrow! I now leave you with vintage Stephen Colletti and some Taylor Swift.

Special Post: Grammy's! =)

So the Grammy's were on today and I admit that the only reason I was watching was to see Taylor Swift perform. I was really reallly excited when I heard she was going to perform her single "Fifteen" because I absolutely love that song. I was upset however when I heard it was going to be a duet with her "BFF" Miley Cyrus. Don't get me wrong, I'm a Miley fan but that song is just NOT a song suited for her voice. And guess what? I was right. She totally wreck the song! She was yelling, her voice was over powering, and she made really weird facial expressions. Honestly, what was that? Anyway you guys can judge for yourselves. I thought Taylor was awesome but Miley was just horrible. Better luck next time! Actually never mind that. I don't want there to be a next time when the have a duet. They can both remain as solo aritist thank you very much. Pictured below are both of their dresses. Taylor's is by Kaufman Franco and Miley's by Max Azria I believe.


I loved both of their dresses. I love the neck line on Taylor's and the flower on Miley's. Miley's was surprisingly age apropriate. I'm use to seeing her in a strapless number with her boobs pushed all the way up to her neck. Gosh I'm so mean. =/

After their performance I lost interest and stopped watching after Adele'd performance. The Grammy's weren't that great this year in my opinion. I'm not too sure why. In previous years they've been like this Insanely Epic event. ;)

Celebrity fix of the day: Kelly Clarkson! Yay!

So here's you're Celeb fix for for the day:

So by now you've all probably heard Kelly Clarkson's new single "My life would suck without you" right? If not, where have you been all this time? Living under a rock? If you haven't for some odd reason I suggest you go and youtube it NOW. That's an order. =) Anywho, don't you just lalalalove it? It's seriously my new favorite song since the time I first heard it on the radio. I think I've played it so much that I know all the lyrics now. Hahaha. Typical me to over play a song a million times. Well the official video is now out! I already saw it like 2 days ago when it was leaked, but seeing it in HQ was much, much better. I must say...I love myself some Kelly Clarkson. Check it out below:



Not exactly what I envisioned the video to be like but it was awesome nonetheless. Great job Ms.Clarkson, great to have you back! Keep it up! =)
