NEW JOINT: CHRIS BROWN - MARVIN'S ROOM REMIX

2011-06-30T11:37:00.000-07:00

*Sigh* Marvin's room is seeming to be VERY popular right now!!

I'm growing to like the original more and more BUT Jojo's remix is by far the best!! So now Chris Brown did his take on Marvin's room. I was expecting to love it but tbh there's something missing. Can't place my finger in it. It's alright but nothing special.

Have a listen for yourself.

-What so special about Marvin's room? Think I might aswell do one!! 'Leah's Room' (Y)

****Oh yh, I also come across this on youtube. I usually watch all the SwearDownTV Youtube channel vids, and saw Scotty (one of the presenters) done her own take on 'Marvin's Room'. It's actually really good. Love the lyrics and she's got a nice voice too.

ALBUM REVIEW: BEYONCE - 4

2011-06-30T11:30:00.000-07:00

Ahhhh sooo '4' is finally out!! I can't lie I downloaded the album a few weeks ago and I must admit at first I thought 'ermmmmm Beyonce like what is this'. I only really like a few songs but I thought let me just keep listening to it and after a while I fell in love with it.

'4' isn't like any of the other albums, infact their all different. But with '4' it's almost as though Beyonce music has grown. It's more of a maturer sounds, she's still got that feistyness that we got in 'Bday' and the 'I am Sasha Fierce' album.

My fav song:

1+1 - Intimate and beautifully sung ballad, by Queen B. She executes every note on this song. We get to hear her vocal range and just how powerful her voice is!! Its one of those songs you'd sing to someone you truly love. The lyrics are too beautiful.

'I don't care' - Another powerful ballad. Bee proper goes for it. Got a rock feel to it in some parts.

'I miss you' - Kinda feel like she's singing for Jay Z in this song. Quite an emotional song but I love the beat.

'Party' - The song features Andre 3000 and was produced by Kanye 'Sexy' West! Love this song soo much. IT's got that 80s vibe to it. Defo gonna be rinsing it.

'Run the World (Girls)' - Didn't like it at first but its defo my anthem for the summer!! Love it. Just makes you wanna shake your tush!!

'End of Time' - This will probably be released!! Absolutely L O V E this track!! Im sure I play it at least 5-10 times a day. It's another one which makes you wanna shake ur tush too.

'Countdown' - Beyonce brings out the gangster twang in this song. It's one of those upbeat joints that you would hear on 'Bday' or 'I Am Sasha Fierce'. Can't wait to see her perform this track.

So yh out of the 12 songs on the album im in love with 7 so far!! That may change though.

Can't wait for here London concerts!!!

GLASTONBURY FESTIVAL 2011: BEYONCE

2011-06-30T11:01:00.000-07:00

Glastonbury looked amazing with acts such as U2, Coldplay, Jessie J, The Chemical Brothers and Queen B........I watched most of it on via BBC! :( Really really wanted to go but it just wasn't possible this year. I really koved Ed Sherran's performance. Apparently he performed 8 times at Glastonbury!! Pretty good for the talented newcomer. Anyway, when the headlines about Beyonce performing at Glastonbury come out a few months ago, I was completely GUTTED!! You know im a Beyonce stan already. Even though all the Glastonbury footage was good and it looked amazing, all I could wait for was to see her closing performance.

I got in from a fab day of Go Karting that evening just in time for the performance. I can't even describe how AMAZING she was to watch. You gotta see for yourself. She performed some of her old songs and a few of her new songs from her album '4' (which is out in stores now).

Here's a video of her Glastonbury performance:

I shall be at Glastonbury 2013!!!! There isn't one next year.....something to do with allowing the ground to recover!! Meh! 2013 = GLASTONBURY BOUND!
