My Ode to Adele - No Homo

People may not notice you Because you are not a size two And you don't prance around the stage half clothed. But I see you, Adele Not only do I see your beautiful face But I hear you I hear you in every soulful note that you sing With the instrument that is your voice. Your '19' album Portrays different emotions felt by women From a Confused Woman in 'Chasing Pavements' To a Patriotic Woman in 'Hometown Glory The Loyal Woman begging for a chance in 'Make you feel my Love' You were able to be the Scorned Woman in 'Cold Shoulder' Yet told Him off with just your voice and a bass in 'Best for Last'. Thank you for the gift that is your music :) Feel free to check out Adele's album - '19' (no I am not getting paid, lol). The listed songs are my favorite from the album.

I couldn't have said it any better". The song resonated with me

All about Ms B (...or Sasha Fierce)

Ah, it's that time again. You know, the time where Beyonce releases a cd and attacks all our senses by being there everywhere you turn and don't think it's coincidence when a movie happens to be opening whenever she has a cd coming out, it's all part of B's world domination plan. To celebrate her oncoming Media Blitz against the Poor Masses(MBPM), I decided to write my thoughts on her. I was a HUGE Beyonce fan, not during her Destiny Child days, but when she went solo. I remember where I was the first time I heard and saw the video for "Crazy in Love". It was summer 2003 and I was on my way to class, which I was eventually late for cuz I plopped myself on my bed and was in awe of Beyonce. I don't even know why sef but the video was different to me at the time and so refreshing. The day the cd came out, I headed straight from work to Best Buy and bought me my copy of "Dangerously in Love". She did the regular press junkets and promotion requi
