"Everything To Me"-Monica (Official Video)

Ok, so I'm a big Monica fan. She definitely has one of the best vocals in the game right now. Nobody can tell me any different. I first heard "Everything To Me" on her reality tv show, Still Standing, which is also the title of her next album. I thought that the song was soooo beautiful, and very much like Monica's style when she first came out. I know that she was struggling with her record company on picking a new single, and I feel that this single was a great move for her! The video is very interesting, and had a twist that I wasn't really expecting. Watch it for yourself, and enjoy!

Loyola Looks!

Hey people, sorry for the delay in posts. School plus clubs plus no really interesting celeb news being out equals no posts on Spotlight for a couple of days.

However, I'm here right now to do a little advertising. There is a new blog at my school (yeah Greyhounds) called Loyola Looks (click the link to visit the site). It's a student run blog that focuses on the latest and hottest fashion across the world, and features our celebs, people around Baltimore, and students at Loyola University Maryland. So if you're into fashion, this would definitely be a great site for you to check out!

I'm in love with it already and it just launched this morning! The writers obviously have worked hard on it and the hard works shows! I will definitely be featuring this site every once in a while on the blog. Have to show some school pride, you know! Plus it's just a really hot site. It's new. It's fresh. It's Loyola Looks. So make sure you take a visit to the site!

PEACE.

We Are The World 25th Anniversary

When I first heard about the "We Are The World" remake Lionel Richie and Quincy Jones were doing with several of our current musical artists, I, along with several others I'm sure, was skeptical. I didn't know how it would be along side the 1985 original which, of course, featured the late great Michael Jackson, along with other talented artists of that time. When taking a listen to this updated version, I couldn't help smiling and laughing a a little, because you can definitely tell that the song has crossed over to reach my generation. I mean, you got T-Pain with his autotune, Justin Bieber and even Lil Wayne singing, and a whole rap verse featuring Snoop Dogg, LL Cool J, Busta Rhymes, among others. It was definitely cool to see LOL. And the crowd was sooooo diverse. I mean, you had Mary Mary, Pink, Gladys Knight, Mary J. Blige, Fergie, my girl Jennifer Hudson, Celine Dion, Adam Levine, Toni Braxton, Miley Cyrus, Akon, Wyclef Jean, Usher, and so many other artists. Michael Jackson parts were featured as well. So watch the remake and the original and give thoughts about each one. The videos are featured after the jump.

"Rude Boy"-Rihanna (Official Video)

I love the song. What can I say? And she finally has a Barbados feel again in the video. It's a kinda weird video to me, BUT THERE'S COLOR!!! AND DANCING!!! It's nice to see a piece of the old Rihanna back again. Enjoy the video!

Lil Wayne's Sentencing Postponed

So it seems Weezy is a free man, at least for a couple of more weeks. Today, Wayne got a temporary reprieve from his jail sentence for previous gun charges--for dental surgery. According to Yahoo! News, Wayne has a few surgeries to finish up before starting his time. His sentencing is now scheduled for March 2. Manhattan state Supreme Court Justice Charles Solomon said it wouldn't be put off any further.

Well hey, Wayne, glad to have you still even if it's only for a few more weeks. Keep your head up. Keeping you and the family in my thoughts.

PEACE.

Ray J and Brandy to Have New Show on VH1

So I guess Ray J might have found his real love in his second season finale of For the Love of Ray J, because apparently he has moved on to a new reality show (still gotta pay them bills). According to BET.com Entertainment, this new show will feature Ray, his big sis Brandy, and his parents. The show will be titled Brandy & Ray J: A Family Business. Read the synopsis after the jump....

Highlights from the Grammys

Ok, so I've been MIA from here for a minute. Now I reappear with clips from the 52nd Grammy Awards that were held Sunday night. Ok, now I didn't watch the full show because I was working on a huge school project, but through Twitter and Facebook (gotta love social networking lol), I read about some of the highlights of the night and watched the clips. So I'm gonna post what I thought was hot and what was definitely not. Check the vids after the jump.
