Secrets of the Heart

Artist: Chantele DiBrava Single: Rolling with the Homies I'm going to state the obvious. Looking at this woman, I would've never guessed her music had a country vibe to it. When I began following her which was quite recently, she messaged me a "welcome" video which was very nice. She went an extra mile to show her appreciation for the followers she gains. I think this is a smart move on her part because it makes the person feel special and proud to be a fan. Now I had to go on her actual twitter page to find any of her music which is how I came across Rolling with the Homies . My first thought when I saw this title was the "Rolling with the Homies" song from the movie Clueless . I said to myself, "Oh she did a cover of that song. This should be interesting." However much to my surprise, it was completely different. It was a countrified spin on a fun/ghetto saying. (Ghetto in a positive sense that is.) The lyric video is fun but I think it coul...

                  The Gabbie Show The first time I watched Gabbie it was a compilation of her "If I were a parent" series. One of my friends posted it on Facebook and I could not stop laughing. I looked it up on YouTube only to find this girl has a show. The more I watched the more I became hooked. What is so awesome about Gabbie's show is that you feel like a personal friend of hers. Her stories are hilarious!  Gabbie is also so appreciative of her fans which she expresses in every video with a fun "luv ya" and kiss sign off.  Honestly she reminds me of how I am with my friends when she tells her stories. My favorite episodes are her horrible dating stories. If you haven't checked her out yet, do it! Check out The Gabbie Show on YouTube! And show her the love because she is fabtabulous (No I didn't misspell fabulous, that is my own word that goes beyond fabulous)                 ...

I know many of you aren't fond of my rants as they have lower viewings than my entertaining posts but I will say this. On Facebook, a friend posted a link that displayed tweets from people who praised the Orlando shooter for what he did in that nightclub. They are very disturbing yes, and what's worse is they use God to justify such a horrific act. First, God does not condone such acts. He has made us as He has made us. He gives us a choice in every situation we have. To damn someone because of their sexual orientation, race, gender, or ethnicity is to damn your own soul. That is NOT YOUR DECISION. It IS the decision of God and God ALONE. Mark my words, He will judge you as harshly as you judge these individuals. They are people just as the individuals who have committed these horrific acts are people. They are monsters but they are people nonetheless willingly choosing to follow Satan. Those that agree with such acts of violence are also servants of Satan. I recognize none of...

I did not know Christina Grimmie prior to her fame on "The Voice." Today of everything I read, she was also a YouTuber. When I saw her audition for The Voice, I thought she was fantastic and how could you not? She had a powerful voice. I was shocked as everyone else to learn that she was murdered at her own concert during a meet 'n' greet. When I watch that last video of her inviting people to come see the concert, it saddens my heart even more. She was a light to her family, friends, fans, and anyone she encountered. She was a woman excited to share her talent with the world and all this was apparent in that last video. Every time I see her picture, I say, "I am so sorry you were robbed of your life." What did she do to deserve this? Nothing. What has any person done to deserve to have someone play God and decide theirs was done? Nothing. I see they identified her killer. I pray they don't glorify her murderer as they have so many others. Tell me wha...

This post is inspired by the wonderful Wendy Williams. I saw she tweeted about Lindsay Lohan and her fiance Egor Tarabasov don't want a prenup. I did reply to my thought on prenups but I figured since twitter is restrictive in characters, I'd use my blog to further discuss my stance on prenups. First I want to point out that in the past I didn't believe in prenups. I thought, why would you draw up a prenup if you trust and love the person? Through the years I saw why they are necessary especially if one or even both individuals have money. Most cases are seen in celebrity marriages/divorces. Sure when you meet someone you're infatuated, in love, and think that is the most wonderful person in the world however if things don't work out then sometimes that can bring out a person's true colors. In Lindsay's case, since this is the topic that brought up the question, she is a talented actress/singer who has come into money with her talent. No matter who she were...

Artist: Alexander Jean Head High EP For those that didn't know, Mark Ballas (well known for his fancy feet on Dancing with the Stars ) is one half of this duo. I had no idea he could sing. That aside, the amazing female vocals are done by BC Jean. Speaking of the vocals, their voices mix together like smooth, soft silk. It's not only the cover that is art but the music. I'm not sure if any of you remember/heard of the painter Bob Ross who had a show on PBS but he was so relaxing to watch because of the way he painted and his soft spoken voice helped as well. This EP is like one of Bob Ross's paintings. It's handled with so much care the the execution is perfect. BC Jean's vocal range is amazing. She doesn't go flat. Her voice does what a voice should when used properly. She is able to round out the notes in such a way that it glides with the instrumentals. It also makes way for Mark's beautiful vocals to underline it with the perfect pitch. Both Mark...

Artist: Kerli Album: Love is Dead Release Date: July 8, 2008 Yes I'm reviewing an older album because this is one of my favorites and just because it's old doesn't mean it can't be made new with a fresh review. I stumbled across this album by accident. My best friend Megan and I were in F.Y.E. searching through the used CDs when we saw this album. We ran it to one of the listen stations and decided we love the music. Unfortunately there was one copy and two of us so Megan bought it that day. I admit it I was jealous but then I purchased it off of Amazon for my digital music library. It was my first time listening to the album in full and I loved it as much as when I heard the snippets. Kerli has her own unique sound with a hint of Avril Lavigne. I say a hint because Kerli has this electric rocking sound. Many may have the urge to classify her as goth which is what I wanted to do at first but I feel it's so much more than a goth look or sound. One of my favori...
