Instead of coming up with songs that define what I think my life is about, I came up with a list of songs that recall a specific time or event when I hear them.  They  suggested at least 7 and while the list could go on indefinitely here's what I've got:

1.  Beat It - Michael Jackson

I think this is the first song I ever really remember listening to and liking.  Well this and Material Girl by Madonna.  If you were a kid/teenager when the Thriller album came out and now say you didn't like it at the time, then you my friend are a liar.  Everyone loved it.

2.  The Right Stuff - New Kids on the Block

NKOTB was the first group I remember liking on my own without my older sister's influence.  I believe I was in the 5th grade at the height of the hype.  I committed stupid facts about them to memory so well that 20 years later I can still spit them out (i.e. Joey's birthday is Dec. 31st and they had a dog named Nikko that traveled with them.  Oh for crying out loud!)

3.  Heart Shaped Box - Nirvana

I'm thinking I was in the 9th grade when Kurt Cobain died.  Ninth grade is such a crazy time when everyone is so melodramatic and full of angst.  I hear this song and remember the time my neighbor across the street (we were in the same grade) and his band played for some girl's birthday party in the neighborhood pavilion.  He wore a black dress with a white collar and only made it through this song before the police came because of a noise violation.

4.  One Sweet Day - Mariah Carrey/Boyz II Men

Holy crap there was not an hour that wouldn't go by when you didn't hear this song being played on the radio.  I think I was in the 11th grade at the time and when I hear this song now I think about the weekends and driving around with friends.  Then I turn the dial.

6.  Independent Women - Destiny's Child

This was a mega hit for girls everywhere...or at least on the campus in Hawaii.  This song would be blasting from the dorms and cars driving by 24/7.  You could be walking across campus, hear this song, and watch as girls broke out in dance all over the place.  Rest assure I was not one of them however.

7.   It Wasn't Me - Shaggy

The second year I was in Hawaii the boys came back with a vengeance thanks to this little diddy.  I can not tell you how sick I was of hearing guys say, "It wasn't me" for EVERYTHING.  "So, how do you think you did on the test?"  "It wasn't me!"  "What?" "So do you think you could help out this weekend?"  "It wasn't me!" "Honestly, what is the matter with you?"'

8-10.   Get the Party Started - Pink, Hey Baby - No Doubt, and Drowning - Back Street Boys

These songs make me think of Mexico.  When I was living there I came across one English radio station and I swear these were the only three songs in rotation.  And what's worse is that one of my classes consisted of students 14 and 15 years old and the girls would get in arguments, actual arguments, with each other on which boy band was better, Back Street Boys or NSYNC.  As far as I know they never reached a conclusion.

11.   Yeah! - Usher

This song was HUGE when I came home from Guatemala.  While over there I hadn't listened to music for a year and a half (well, other than throw back 80s songs they would play on the buses like Queen of Hearts by Juice Newton) and this was the first song to greet me on my arrival home.  It was such an overkill that I now hate this song.  Not long after I returned home Usher came out with another huge hit called My Boo.  Funny story about that.  Where I was in Guatemala we referred to diarrhea as "boo".  I don't know why but we did and so did some of the locals in the mountains.  Because majority of us were foreign there was a lot of talk about "boo".  I'm sure Usher is not the first singer to refer to their significant other as boo but it had never caught my attention before.  The first time I heard this song, I did a double take at the radio not sure I heard the words right.  Surely he wasn't saying what I thought he was.  After a couple more times of hearing the song I determined that indeed he was singing about his boo.  I was in hysteric fits of laughter every time the song came on and especially at the lines "how I try to hide my boo" and "what am I going to do without my boo?".  Probably live a little more comfortably without it is my guess.  I still get a smile on my face when the song comes on.

I was so exhausted basically for trying to stand on the tips of my toes just to get decent-angled photos. But then I realized it didn't really matter because all this client really wanted was to have pictures of their Mariah timepieces taken with celebs, models and important people.

However, it was just too bad that I forgot to switch back my ISO to lower from 1600 when I bulbed the stage. I hope they won't notice how grainy my shots are.

Después de su arrollador éxito en Youtube, no así con los jueces de Music Idol, los ejecutivos del programa deciden invitarla nuevamente, pero esta vez habiendo tomado algunas clases de inglés para mejorar su pronunciación. Lamentablemente, por pronunciación sacrificamos algo de afinación. De todas formas, hay que destacar que la empatía que causa en el público es notable.

Presentada como "la mujer que canta con el corazón", Vanesa Hasan y su segundo intento por cantar Ken Lee:

Atención con el público cuando llega al coro, este la acompaña con un "Tulibu dibu douchoo"

Según entrevistas, Valentina dice que cuando tenía 15 años solía escuchar esta canción usando un casete y le gusta "cantar como realmente siente la canción". En otras palabras, como bien dicen, esta mujer canta definitivamente con el corazón.

The talent is unreal, reviving the classic to a whole new level. Mariah should just retire and use this as infomercial material. Guaranteed to sell another million CDs!

] " Here i was in the US watching Vh1 on a 1080 psi samsung wide screen televison: In the morning 530 MT of course (music videos don't play reg times in the US anymore) i began watching videos, starting somewhere between Mariah Carrey's new thing  (you can find the link yourself) & Usher's new horrible bout of selfdoubting moneylust with a little musique thrown in.   After a while Madonna's "4:00 minutes" turned on , a time based flick and way to biblical { at the end JTlake & Md hold each other with Justin's rib cage artificially shown , and Madonna's face fleshing open } for me, perhaps i can embed :

 Anyhow, that is so outdated {as it was written}, some 'god' shouting liberali could have made that vid 3000 years ago in Babylon.

Now, on to the KEYS.  Her vid is ~X~ based also, which was very flattering of the producer, whoever it was, to have given the audience (a' moi) such a grand space in only four minutes & 27 seconds scored.  Reason i think i like it is because of the undertones of Moment Principality, .., only now is the time, .. , . Also, i'm a romantic, me dancing away to Mariah Carrey's Christmas Album when i was 12, falling instantly in love with all African Women singers and song writers, pushing my pubescent feet against the  red & navy sailor themed cushions of my parents' couch.     

A Nice Rendering of the song:   "..

If the 2002 cinematic masterpiece, CROSSROADS, made you ache for more Britney Spears on the big screen, then you are in luck! Sources claim that the pantyless pop tart may star in a movie titled GLITTER II MEMOIRS OF A MEDICATED CHILD. Spears apparently hopes to revive her career through the art of acting.

Hey, maybe the Capri Hollywood Film Festival will honor Ms. Spears as well. It's not as though talent is much of a prerequisite anymore.
