"The Voice" Top 6.





I haven't posted in a while, because I have been busy with other things, but I am back and here to give you the 411 on latest eliminations made early this week on "The Voice." The top 8 left their hearts out on the stage when they performed on Monday, hoping that the people of America would save them. Tuesday, the eliminations began and you could clearly see the fear on each of the contestants faces. Unfortunately we had to say goodbye to: soulful vocalist from Team Blake, Ray Boudreaux, and the last woman standing  from Team Ceelo, Caroline Pennell. The remaining teams are: Team Adam with all three of his members still standing from the top 8. Team Xtina with her remaining two from the top 8, and Team Blake's last man standing, Cole Vosbury. Sadly, Team Ceelo is out of the game. Don't forget to watch the Top 6 contestants perform for your votes Monday at 8pm on NBC. Catch the results the next day on the same channel an hour later. Good luck to all of you and "may the votes be ever in your favor."

Britney Spears Has Everyone Crazy For Her New Single, "Perfume"




 I decided to derail from this weeks topic and talk about a new song thats hit the airwaves. Last Monday Britney Spears released a new song from her upcoming 8th studio album, "Britney Jean" Titled "Perfume." On this record Britney sheds all of the techno-dance beats of her previous single, "Work B****" and strips down to a more organic, but still pop, mid tempo beat and produces more emotive and rich vocals rather than her more robotic-baby like voice that made her famous. In the song Britney has suspicions that her lover is being unfaithful to her, but hopes that they aren't true as she sings "I want to believe it's just you and me. Sometimes it feels like there's three of us in here, baby." In the chorus she takes a more possessive tone, singing "While I wait I put on my perfume, yeah I want it all over you" I'm gonna mark my territory", Spears then she takes on a vengeful tone crooning, "I hide it well hope you can't tell, but I hope she smells my perfume." I actually like this song, as well as her previous releases, but this one has more appeal in my opinion than other songs that she has recently released, because it shows emotion and is not just another party record. 

Hear it for yourself below. "Perfume" is also available for Purchase it on the iTunes Music Store.

Review of Miley Cyrus' "Adore You"


I recently posted an announcement stating that I was going to be posting my thoughts on songs from Miley Cyrus' recent studio release "BANGERZ" and as promised I have chosen a song from the album to review for today and it is the first track of the album, "Adore You." In this song which is definitely meant for a wedding, Cyrus describes her love for a man who I am assuming is her ex-fiance,
Liam Hemsworth. In the opening of the song Miley wants to ensure that her lover is listening and questions where he has been all of her life. In the chorus, Cyrus describes the passion she feel for her lover singing: "When you say you love me know I love you more, and when you say you need me know I need you more, boy I adore you." In the second verse Cyrus continues to describe her love for her fiance at the time saying, "When your near me I feel like I'm standin' with an army." She then repeats how much she adores him in the chorus and in the final verse she states that she and her lover were meant to be and that "God knew exactly what he was doin when he put next to you." Cyrus then repeats the chorus until the song ends with a final note on the Piano. 

I enjoyed this song. It instantly made me feel that I was at a wedding watching the bride and groom have their first slow dance of the night. The music and melody fit the theme of the song perfectly. There was nothing too extravagant neither too boring it was perfectly fitting to the song and showed just the right amount of emotion. One of the highlights of the album.

Listen Below:



Don't Forget! "BANGERZ" Is available for download at the iTunes Music Store, and can also be found in stores.

Christina Aguilera Featured on duo, A Great Big World's New Track

Soulful Pop vocalist and coach of NBC's "The Voice" The one and only Christina Aguilera, has recently lent her vocals to a revision of an up and coming New York pop duo Professionally known as A Great Big World's emotional ballad "Say Something." The duo was shocked when they had learned that Xtina wanted to re-record the track with them. They were even shocked that she had heard the song. Christina describes the song as being sort of a plea for a response or a need to hear something. I just listened to the track last night and I have to say that the song is BEYOND beautiful. Aguilera showcases a softer side to her voice, leaving the amazing vocal acrobatics and lioness side of her voice, that we all love behind for the moment adding to the emotion and beauty of the song. I am always impressed by Miss Aguilera who never seems to disappoint, and am also eager to hear more from this new duo.  The song was just released on the iTunes Music Store today and will be performed tomorrow on the second live show of the season on NBC's "The Voice" at 8/7c .
