Olivia - Walk Away Official Music Video Review

I first heard Olivia in Candy shop by G-unit at that time she was the hot new thing, G-Unit's first lady. She was on top of her game....Then she got dropped and honestly from listening to her solo songs. It wasn't great or even good. It was like a worse version of Beyoncé, Rihanna or Ashanti.

However, Olivia didn't give up and no matter how many times things haven't really gone her way she has been trying, which I think is amazing. Then she went on the hit reality show "Love and Hip Hop," which I love.

Now let's talk about this new single, anyone who watches "Love and Hip Hop," has probably heard Olivia sing this live. The song is good compared to her past solo efforts, I actually like this song. I like the lyrics it's not repetitive like a lot of music now, she really took the time to write these meaningful lyrics.

The video has a lot of things going on, it's basically about a woman who gets beat by her boyfriend and she wants to leave him but she doesn't because she loves him. Some people might have hoped for her to leave him but this video is real.  Many people choose to stay in a relationship like that.One does wonder is domestic violence a gimmick to have people to talk about her and her music? Hmmm. Then we have two people dancing in the hallway, then there's Olivia in a street singing with some random dude in the background.

Why is he there??

Anyways, her make-up or lighting was all over the place, one moment she looks like an orange then the next she looks like a vampire. I guess, that’s what happens when you are financing a video from your own pockets.

But this is really the first song I have listened to Olivia and I thought yeah, she is good enough to be classified as a solo singer. I wish her all the luck with the music video and song.

Peep the Video Below:



Although this is a good attempt it reminds me of Eve's "Love is Blind," which to me is more heart felt and more real music video and song than Olivia's.

UnderWorld Awakening Movie Review

Rate:★★★★

Length: 1 hour, 28 minutes

Where: Cinema

Age: 18

Genre: Action,Adventure,Scifi,Fantasy,Horror
 

I have just come back from the cinema and I was watching “Underworld Awakening” and I did see the trailer and it looked cool but the trailers don't do this film justice, it's just too good. I am now finding out that this is the fourth film of the series of underworld film but it is not the last. This was the first film I saw of the series and I understood what was going on plus they explain the past at the beginning of the movie so you don’t really need to have seen the other films. 

Pro's - I saw this film in 3D and I think that was scary and amazing at the same time, a few times in the film the monster felt like it was coming for me and it scared me so much, it was amazing. There was a lot of action and cool tricks especially from

 She was really good, what made her good was the fact that became scared of her and it didn't feel or seem fake like “Knight and day” movie where the opposite side just dropped very easily her fights were believable and people didn't just die. And the way she won some fights or battles, it was done very clever and brutal. Very good acting.

I really liked the storyline of the film and how it was done, very interesting and makes you want to see more. I won't give away the storyline because I don't want to ruin this for anyone who might end up going to see this movie.

Another great positive was the eye candy in the film: 

Michael Ealy played a good detective

Theo James plays David one of the good guys.

 Cons- One of the negative was that the film was too short, I know I am being selfish but that's about it for the cons.

Would I reccommend it? Yes, it's one of those films that will keep anyone entertained. Go and see it.

Chris brown - Turn up the Music (New Song)

Chris Brown, Chris brown another pop/ dance song. How great, surely it will climb up the charts and get played by mainstream radios but I am going to say opinion about this song.

The lyrics are basic and very repetitive, it's basically "turn up the music," and a sentence and "turn up the music," and another sentence....You get the picture.....then there's "ohh ohh ohh," and we are back to "turn up the music." I know Chris is (I am sorry) was good at writing lyrics to songs but things have sadly change. Moving on the beat is Ok, it would probably be great for clubs and for people who like pop/techno music but even that it's not outstanding or special in anyway. We will see how it does?

Conclusion, Not his best, nothing special will probably see the video when it comes out.

Etta James Dies Aged 73

We have lost another talented singer. 

Etta James died at the age of 73 of complications from leukaemia and she will be missed. Her music will live on forever and generations will come and they will also enjoy her timeless music. One of my favourite songs by Etta James is "At last." That is a beautiful song and I also like "I'd rather go blind."

Beyonce who played cardillac records a great film about Etta James said this about her death.

“This is a huge loss. Etta James was one of the greatest vocalists of our time. I am so fortunate to have met such a queen. Her musical contributions will last a lifetime. Playing Etta James taught me so much about myself, and singing her music inspired me to be a stronger artist. When she effortlessly opened her mouth, you could hear her pain and triumph. Her deeply emotional way of delivering a song told her story with no filter. She was fearless, and had guts. She will be missed.” 

Rest in Peace Etta, you will be missed

Nicki Minaj- Stupid Hoe Official Music Video Review

Nicki Minaj just dropped a new video for her second album Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded.

I hadn't heard the song before I saw the video and after listening to the song a few times now it is catching on. When I first saw the video I was shocked and surprised because it was the Nicki I liked. The video is interesting and different and there is a lot of things happening. It reminds me of when I first saw moment 4 life or your love, it's exciting.

I really like the bridge of the song "Stupid hoe is my enermy, stupid hoe is so wack,stupid hoe should have befriended me, she could have probably came back," it sounded like a nursery rhyme,lool. Clearly this whole song was towards LiL Kim and even though I am tired of this beef, I think this video was good. But I can see alot of people hating on this video....

The song gets better the more times you listen to it. Even I have to admit her body looked amazing here, if only I could have that body....

The Vampire's Diaries Season 3 Episode 11 Review (Spoiler Alert)

The vampire diaries have been back for two weeks but I haven’t really had the chance to write about it. This season has been crazy good and at the end each episode I was in shock and waiting for more; then they stopped showing more episodes until January, which was sad. 

Klaus is basically the driving force in this series and I have to admit that they picked the best person to play him and I can’t help but like him, he is bad, crazy and twisted in the head but that’s what makes it entertaining. These last two episodes his just been trying to get the coffin of his family back from Stefan. 

Moving on we have Damon and Elena and they have kissed and it’s like get together already. She knows she wants to. Honestly, about ten episodes ago I wanted them to get together but now I want Elena to get back with Stefan because his the bad boy now. But either way something needs to happen soon.

Stefan is crazy and honestly, I didn’t think he had it in him to outsmart Klaus and to act this bad and carefree, which I like a lot and they should take it to another level,lol. I really liked the chicken fight of bluffs he had with Klaus but I knew he would never kill her, he still loves her.

Then we have Jeremy who is leaving, I am not sure if he is leaving the show for good or he will go for an episode or two and come back a vampire or something who knows….He was getting a bit boring and in the way because the whole I can see ghosts thing wasn't really that entertaining. So it’s good his gone for a while. 

Caroline and Tyler are over, I liked them two together because it was like I can’t have you but I want you but now his got this whole I have to do everything Klaus says thing going on and that’s a problem for her so they’re not together anymore, he bites her  and she almost dies. But she doesn’t because the same man who told Tyler to bite her ends up saving her life and then leaves her a bracelet. My first instinct is that because Klaus has saved Caroline’s life she will also have to do what he says but some people think it could be the beginning of a romance. All I know is Klaus doesn’t do anything nice for nothing. 

 Good carry on of the series and I will be watching. Good writing and acting.  

Before I die by Jenny Downham Book Review

RATE:★★★★

Pages:327

Author:Jenny Downham

Published: July 2007

 

Since coming back home one thing that I have missed is reading so I went out and got some books to read and so far I have finished one and I am going to do a review about it now. 

Tessa has just a few months to live. Fighting back against hospital visits, endless tests, drugs with excruciating side-effects, Tessa compiles a list. It's her To Do Before I Die list. And number one is sex. Released from the constraints of 'normal' life, Tessa tastes new experiences to make her feel alive while her failing body struggles to keep up. Tessa's feelings, her relationships with her father and brother, her estranged mother, her best friend, her new boyfriend, all are painfully crystallized in the precious weeks before Tessa's time finally runs out. "Before I Die" is a brilliantly-crafted novel, heartbreaking yet astonishingly life-affirming. It will take you to the very edge.

Pro's - For me the biggest pro that this book has is that it made me cry, I have never ever cried whilst reading a book before and I never thought that would happen but in the last few chapters of this book the tears were just coming down my face and that is not a bad thing at all because it shows you how great this book is if it can conjure such profound emotions. Plus I am not one of those people that cry a lot. I think what also made me cry was because I knew someone who died of cancer, I wasn’t really close to them but we went to the same school and I can still remember seeing them for the last time wearing that hat at school when he was really ill, I think he had just come to look around for the last time. He died aged 16. 

Moving on, I love the characters in this book from Tessa the girl who has cancer to her little brother and her parents. Tessa to me reminded me of myself when I was 15/16 years old and I felt like the writer made the reader understand Tessa more as a real person going through something none of us would want to experience. Her little brother somewhat reminded me of my little brother, so that was cute.

 This book has some funny moments in it and will really make you think about your life and death, not in a bad way but in a "I have the opportunity to live, I want to make something of myself," kind of way so that when you go you will have achieved all the things you wanted to do.

Cons- I think after she completes her little goals and her health gets worse you are kind-off like ok, when is she going to die, which sounds horrible but that’s what I was like but it lasted for a few pages and then something got me all emotional and from then on I was just crying, reading and getting some tissues.

A con which I would also say is that it was predictable, like there was a shock in the book but you knew what it was before it was announced but those two little things stopped this book from getting 5 stars.

Would I recommend this book???

Yes, defiantly, I haven't read a book this good in a long time and I would put this as a must read and I finished it in 2 days. It's well written in a light humorous tone were the author knows how to grab the reader’s attention from the first pages.

New year 2012 (Livingnotexisting is One Today)

2011 is over and today marks the one year anniversary of this blog. I started this blog a year ago and I am happy that I am still going. True in the past couple of months my posts have reduced dramatically but my life has changed and I will try to make time to write more about my life as things go on, do reviews and tips plus more.

It is weird to think that a whole year has just gone by and so much has happened in my life and I have had a lot of experiences and I have a lot met some amazing people. But there have been some memories of things that I would rather not remember but hey, that’s life.

I hope 2012 is a great year for everyone.
