Honestly, I expected Beyonce to be the one to release a song about motherhood, but it seems HOV beat her to the punch and did a mighty fine job of it. The song is fittingly called GLORY and it documents not only Jay's feelings about finally having his baby girl, but also highlights the fact that he and Beyonce had suffered a miscarriage before the blessing of Blue Ivy making this particular track Emotional AND informative, just the way I like 'em!
I've had my eye on this Fayettville, NC native for awhile now and it's looking like I had the right idea. J Cole.... who graduated with honors from NYU is smashing his way up the urban charts and will no doubt soon be a national sensation. If you haven't heard yet, allow me to introduce you to: J COLE with his first single, "Work Out" :)
So, apparently people are all up in B's business with all this pregnancy being "fake" nonsense. So, here I am with my 2 cents. IT'S REAL. A: She's going to make BANK of this pregnancy and is even releasing her own maternity clothing line (DUH) but I have 2 pieces of proof that our girl is indeed knocked up:Â
EXHIBIT A:Â HER NEW COUNTDOWN VIDEOÂ Â You can CLEARLY see the baby bump if you watch closely.
EXHIBIT B: HER AND JAY Z ON VACA IN CROATIA..... With B sporting a BARE BELLY which is clearly not GAS and also appears to have no straps and is not made of plastic as far as I can see. I'm sayin she's DEFINITELY with child.Â
As you know, I LOVE turning you guys onto new music, so when this came across my desk this moning I just had to share with you. Not only is Flo a guy I absolutely adore, but in the past few years he's given us quite a few good jams and this is no exception... so here's your shot to check out FLO RIDA'S "GOOD FEELING"
I was always a fan and huge supporter of American Idol but always felt something was missing.... I felt the age limitations of the competitions were unfair to so many around the country who have so much talent and it was a shame that that talent was going undiscovered simply due to age. Enter "X FACTOR" from the brilliant Simon Cowell who brings us back the amazing Paula Abdul, and has added Nichole Scherzinger and L.A. Reid to the panel of judges for a very well rounded group of opinions.
So, for those of you like me who are anxiously awaiting the return of Simon and Paula, and seeing just what kind of talent this country has to offer, here is an extended preview of tonight's premiere episode! Get the popcorn and tissues ready kids, this is going to be AMAZING!!
In today's blog I am not only featuring AMAZING new music by one of my favorite artists, JASON MRAZ, but sharing with you a contest he is involved in along with Asus and Intel.  His new song "THE WORLD AS I SEE IT" will serve as the theme of this contest which sets out to find incredible stories about incredible people around the world
According to the story I read:
"Viewers are encouraged to submit their own incredible stories to the website (here). The prompt is actually fairly general: it asks for writers to merely describe what they find incredible. It can be âa sight, a sound, a moment,â along with deeds and creations. Viewers can also upload photos, videos, or sound clips to the site.
There are several rounds with different prizes. Each country around the world will have a winner, picked by a panel of judges, who will receive a new ASUS N Series laptop, a powerful computer for creation and entertainment. The global prize, however, will be to have their incredible story transformed into a short film guided and created by the three project creators and a professional crew. Then the global winner will get to attend the screening at the Sundance Film Festival with Jason Mraz."
We've all been touched by incredible people, experiences and stories whether it's personally or learning about something amazing second hand. I urge you to check out this contest and nominate someone you know or have heard of who has done something truly incredible!  And while you're at it, check out another one of Jason's new songs, and my new personal anthem "I won't give up"HERE
