Baylee Littrell: Bringing Country Back to Country

Image
Baylee Littrell, the greatest country artist for the genre. Baylee's voice is a refreshing breeze on a hot summer day. What do I mean by this? Littrell has woken country music up. The country music I loved as a kid is making a comeback. For the longest time country has been crossing over into the pop genre and I'm not referring to Taylor Swift. If you were to take the time to listen to what I refer to as "new country" like Lady Antebellum, Taylor Swift (like "Trouble"), and even some Shania Twain, you would hear a popish, rocking sound. Now switch sides for a moment and refer to the likes of Conway Twitty, Garth Brooks, George Strait, and Reba McEntire; good old fashioned but great country music. Baylee's talent is bringing that good old fashioned country music to life again. His single "Don't Knock It" is a wholesome story telling with spirit, heart and a little bit of humor as he tries to convince his love interest that he is for her.

The Return of Beverly Hills 90210 *Spoilers*

Image
The new reboot of BH 90210 includes the original cast minus our beloved Luke Perry but more on that later. The premises of the new reboot is how the cast comes back together eventually beginning a reboot of the hit show. So how did this fresh new angle take? With me, very well. Again I must emphasize the importance of treating reboots with delicate fingers. Why? The answer is simple. The fans. Considering a reboot is a giant task to take on because you want the reboot to stand out. There are reboots that I feel failed considerably like Charmed. We don't need to reboot every successful series but I must say the group for BH 90210 has a clever approach. If you've been keeping up with the real lives of the cast you will then recognize the storylines used such as Jennie's divorce from Peter Facinelli, Tori's marriage to Dean McDermott, Brian's marriage to Megan Fox, and so on and so forth. What you won't recognize are their spouses because they are farther from

Best YouTube Channels: Hollywood Graveyard

Image
Hollywood Graveyard is hosted/narrated by a man named Arthur Dark. He memorializes those Hollywood greats that have gone before us and does intensive research giving audiences a knowledgeable and entertaining journey of the "valley of the dead" if you will. Dark also allows his audience to be involved as well, releasing a series of footage taken and submitted by his YouTube fans. One of the most entertaining episodes is Dark's Twilight Zone episode. Dark feeds upon our fascination with Hollywood and has a talent of connecting us with our dearly departed stars. In a way he brings these people back to life for us with his strong, informative narratives. If you're looking for a documentary about your favorite stars that have gone to the other side, Hollywood Graveyard is for you. I look forward to more of Dark's adventures in locating celebrity graves and finding out more than meets the eye about each one. To locate Arthur Dark's channel, simply go to YouTub

Jane...Jane... The Many Film Adaptations of Charlotte Bronte's Jane Eyre

Image
Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte is one of the great literary masterpieces of all time. From a troubled yet humbled childhood, Jane grows into a strong willed, independent, woman who falls in love with her troubled yet passionately loving employer, Mr. Edward Rochester. It's a captivating story of choosing your path to your destiny. There have been many (and I do mean many) film adaptations of this literary classic. Each has its own translation of the book and its own essence. If you've never read or seen the story of Jane Eyre, here is the order of which I feel you should view the adaptations especially for those who rather view the film than read the book. However knowing the actual story prior helps in making a relation to the different film adaptations. Jane Eyre (1943) starring Orson Welles & Joan Fontaine The first film I ever saw of Jane Eyre was the 1943 version with brilliant actors Orson Welles (Citizen Kane) and Joan Fontaine (Rebecca). This is before I read

 First this is probably my favorite season of The Bachelor. Personally I feel Colton has been the most real, genuine, and honest Bachelor ever. Cassie and he are so sweet but now for the future . Hannah B. is the new Bachelorette! I wasn't expecting her though I had an inkling during the Women Tell All. Honestly though she is so cute and I'm happy with her as the Bachelorette. Her season will be fun and exciting. I'm so excited for her. This is short but I can't hold in my excitement. Congratulations Hannah B.!
