I'm Giving Jeremih One More Try
So most of you know Jeremih is a new artist that has a few R&B/HipHop songs currently on all the urban radio stations which doesn't mean much to me cuz most of the stuff they play on the radio is crap. I haven't been that impressed with him or the meaningless songs he sings, but I ran across a video of him singing Adele's song "Rumor Has It" and was mildly impressed. I was super impressed with the fact that he is able to play the drums and sing at the same time which I find nearly impossible. Then he proceeds to try and play as many instruments as he can in his allotted time. Click here to check him out. While in the Monday Mashup section of Billboard.com I also ran across video of our old friend Bilal singing "Tainted Love" who is apparently heavy into rock music now. Click here to check him out. In other music related news (not really)...they are making a movie of Steve Harvey's stupid book and Chris Brown is going to star in it along with Taraji P. Henson, Megan Goode and Gabrielle Union. I'm sure there are other black actresses out there available for work besides TJP, Megan Goode and D. Wade's mistress. Somebody please find them so we don't have to watch the same people acting the same way with the same facial expressions in every movie! In other news Trey Songz has signed on to star in the latest sequel of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Poor thing. Somebody help him.

Oh how I’ve missed your wonderfully acerbic tone, LAH! I am impressed by his ability to transition to multiple instruments with obvious ability. I wasn’t that impressed with his voice. It’s not bad, it’s just not great in my opinion. What I enjoyed mostly was the song itself. That Adele is something special to me. On the other hand, I really enjoyed the gritty tone of Bilal’s voice and the song. Where do you find these people I’ve never heard of before? I really get a kick out of the new views into the music world. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteLOL! Forget the fact that they’re making this book into a movie. I’m still trying to figure out why it got published in the first place.
Yeah Jeremih's voice isn't that great...neither is his name and this is why I haven't given him any attention when I hear his music so I was surprised to see him in this way. Clearly that's where the talent is. Bilal has been around forever but I'm not surprised that you don't know him. You've got to get away from the mainstream and see what else the world has to offer. But again, that's what I'm here for. Don't fret. I'll be your musical fairy Godmother.
ReplyDeleteAre you referring to Steve's book "Think Like a Man...." How in the world can this book be made into a movie?? There is really no story line. I agree with you and the actors selected. It would be nice to see some fresh new faces or some faces we have not seen in a while.
ReplyDelete@ Deneece- Yes, I'm referring to "Think Like A Man Act Like A Lady". The movie is supposed to be out next spring or summer. I guess it makes sense because they made "He's just not that into you" into a movie which was really funny and it was the same type of book...relationship advice for women from a man's perspective. I just hope they do a good job writing the script and wish they could find some other talent.
