Ciara Upcoming album info

Support it!! Don't be like the close-minded dykes that didn't support the last album, and wanted to jump ship. Ciara deserves all her fans to be here for her. No complaints, just their full support. Because how the fuck is an artist supposed to punch when her fans don't even have full faith in her. Her fans should be her strength, and motivation, and after all the shit Ciara has been through in life, and her career; her fans shouldn't be nothin, but a thought a way. This woman deserves the best in this bullshit ass industry. She puts her best foot forward, stay's positive despite all her damn haters (When she's fuckin humble, and nice, to be cursed with thousands of haters, WTF?!).

I am starting to spread the word now, because not only does Ci, and her label have to promote, and support her, but so does her fans. Word of mouth is also a good method of promo, and her fans can at least do that. I mean what is an artist without fans? Like Ciara said, she wouldn't be nothing without her fans. So, suck the last album flop up, get ya money right, and be prepared for Ciara to punch 2010, and support her upcoming album to the max.

Stop being losers, and start being winners with Ciara, and believe. Where there is darkness, there is light. And in this dark, gloomy, raunchy, hell of an industry, Ciara becomes SuperC, read to punch the gimmicks, and shine light on the talent. Be there for Ciara to be her strength in this hard thing called life. Cause not only is this her music, this is her career and life. And we can make it a whole lot better, if we just suck up all that extra shit, and just be there for her.

Ciara's 1st OFFICIAL, USTREAM!!

She did it today around 6:30pm, a little while after that time. She discussed her fans, her inspirations, her favorite actors/actresses, being a role model, and etc. Ciara is such a awesome role model. I mean she inspires millions through her music, and the drive that she has about her music, and her career is just untouched. She's such a hardworker. And she has something under wraps for her fans [music wise], that's all I can give you all, lol.

Amerie, Amerie, AMERIE!!! "Heard 'Em All" [UPDATED]

Here is her talkin about "In Love & War" on the VMA's Red Carpet:

Yess, I don't like that Anthony made the video black because I think the video calls for more vibrance than dark. And the dark/edgy thing is getting kind of played out, & overused right now, because everyone is doing it.

But, I can see DefJam is really behind Amerie on this project. They are really gonna go INN for her with this album, and i'm so excited. Amerie always was overrated, & was overlooked, & the woman is bad.

She's a dancer, performer, SANGER, song-writer, has her own sub-division label now called Rising Feenix Entertainment, graduated with a degree of English, & Fine Arts @ Georgetown University. WTH?!

She has always been 2nd to the other big female artist in the game when her talent had her rated to be 1st. And I feel like now she's gonna get her chance to shine. I can just feel it. She has Ciara's choreographer Jamaica.

Jamaica said she kilt the choreography, and I have confidence in her word. I just can not fuckin wait. Supposedly Lil' Wayne is supposed to be in the video version of this song, idk. But, make sure you watch the premiere of

this video Amerie "Heard 'Em All" on BET's 106th & Park starting @ 6pm/5c tomorrow (Wednesday). And buy your girl Ame's single "Heard Em' All" on all major digital music retailers now!!!

And pick up Amerie's "In Love & War" on Tuesday, November 3rd & request her latest single "Heard 'Em All" on your local radio stations.

Review of video: The video was a banger. Ame's swagg is heavy, & very evident on this

track. She's back, and killing it, and knows she is you can tell by the way she moves confidently.

Dancing is nice, average at best to me. But, the video is FIYAH!! I don't really

like the darkness of it, like I already said. But, when I saw the video. I saw

where she was going creatively with the tribal, dark, apocalyptic theme, because like she

said before she did regular tribal with "Touch." I just love her

Her creativeness, her passion, her music, her swagg, writing, she has it ALL!!

But, also I wanted to clear it up, she been back since "WHY R U", that was my fuckin song.

But, we know that was a buzz, and her label didn't promote it as much because of that, but

the single def got people back into her.

"Why R U" was real, and it perfect for the R&B/Hip Hop/Rock feel she was going for.

It was perfection.

Also check out her album prelude here: http://www.islanddefjam.com/artist/news_single.aspx?nid=5152&artistID=7356

and "Higher" here even thou it's on the prelude link too:http://www.zshare.net/audio/65693016a921b29b/

Randoms: [Quotes to Stand by]

"They always say kill the negativity with kindness. Keep you're head up, and battle with a smile on your face. Never fight fire, with fire. You'll always lose, and make a bigger problem then you we're let off to have in the 1st place. Calm the blazing fire with the breeze of cool, chill, water and keep shining. Misery loves company; keep misery at a yard away by being positive all the way." - David (Me)

P.S. some of the quote is made from everyday sayings, but most/the rest of it flowed from my heart, while being inspired.

All the time, SMASHES! (The Faves)

Amerie "Why R U" Vocal Range/Vocal Arrangements

Amerie, aside from Brandy, and Kelly Rowland (in my opinion) has some of the best vocal arrangements. For one, I originally posted this yesterday from my Youtube channel, cause it's connected to this blog, but it wanted to act retarded, and never posted it. Maybe it was because I wrote like 4 paragraphs on the whole thing, lol

Anyhoo... i'm gonna review the video from start to finish ("Why R U")

At the beginning bridge she sings a series of notes through (E4-G4-E4-G4-Eb4):

*She basically kept going from lower, higher continuously through the bridge. Specifically speakin she went starting a E4, up 2 notes to G4, back down 2 notes to E4, back up 2 notes to G4, and down 2 notes and a semitone to Eb4, INCREDIBLE!!

Then, she repeatedly hits C5 at "Battle" of the bridge goes back through a series of notes up, and down. Hits C5 again just before she starts the chorus. Then, goes back down and harmonizes a G3 in her lower register. Amerie doesn't have the most expansive or thick lower register, but for her to harmonize the G3 all throughout the background vocals, is plain genius. Then, at the end of the Chorus, she hits a series of C5's, including a few in the background including with her singature Oh, Oh, Oh ab-libs.

Next, part of the song around 1:44, she goes through another series of notes through the middle bridge of the song (A4-D5-A4-C5-A4).

*That means she went from low A4 up 3 notes to D5, back down 3 notes to A4, back up 2 notes to C5, and back down 2 notes to A4.

Fuckin incredible!!! I mean to hit the notes so swiftly, transitioning higher lower through the bridge, WHO THE FUCK ELSE DOIN IT?!, lol

She goes through another series of notes, then hits right back up till the middle-end of her chest register to E5 and immediately back down to D5.

Most singers have trouble hitting that note, or notes like that, but Amerie has no trouble hitting those notes at all. She hit E5-D5 about 3 times during the song, and numerous C5's back to back with ease, and on top of that, went through a lot of up, and downs through notes in the song. After, the E5-D5 she goes back to the chorus harmonizin the G3 in the background, then hitting back to back C5's after that. Then, slides/riffs up to a beautiful C5 at around 2:15 (my fave part of the song) Hits another D5 near the end of the chorus, so fiercly, and harmonizes the G3 again, then around 2:39 shoots back up to a E5-D5. Harmonizes the G3 again, then hits a series of C5's in the lead and background vocals of the song. Then, end the song with her repeated low note harmonizations, and the C5's.

Amerie is underrated, very. Her voice is throaty at times. But, it adds to her sound. Her vocals are like rock, funky, edgy, rock and roll like, so it adds to her sound; especially her signature Go-Go sound crafted by Rich Harrison. She said her vocals got damaged at a basketball game or something earlier in life, so that's y her vocals are throaty, but who cares?! P!nk and Christina Aguilera vocals are throaty, but it just adds edge to their voices, and makes the all the while more amazing. She still knocks the notes out of the ball park, and never strains hitting the notes.

Amerie has no problem hitting the top, end of her chest register (F5-G5), which quite the few artist have a problem with even reaching left alone hitting or sustaining. Like on the DC Fulfilled tour, she did her run/riff with F#5 near the end of "1 Thing". And also she has an exceptional Head voice. She hit a Soprano C sharp (C#6) at the end of song "All I Have" off her also titled, debut album "All I Have." Amerie has to be one of the best vocalist around, primarily best lyric Soprano. She's possibly even a full lyric Soprano. Her strength is in her chest register, and head voice. Her voice may be lyric, and seemingly kinda thin, but it doesn't mean she can't SANG, cause woman SANGS her heart out!

Anyooo.. special thanks to my buddy, mariahcareynum1fan on youtube. Go to her channel; subscribe to her channel, rate her vids, favorite her videos, comment on her videos. She's amazing at what she does (Vocal vids), so don't forget to scroll by her channel, and give her a holla. She actually did this particular vid for me, I had request like 2 days ago, and she really didn't have to do that. Welp.. just wanted to let you all know how amazing Amerie is vocally. That is all, lol.

RichGirl Performing Live @ Summer Jam (Sync Fix)

RichGirl murks "He ain't wit me now" @ Summer Jam in New York. These girls are bad. They all sing lead equally, well just about, I think Lydriette sings most of some of the parts. But, they all get parts, and they can sing their asses off. They all have about the same vocal range in chest voice. I mean all of them can sing, and hit the end of their chest register. And even though they only do like 2 moves in this performance, their entertaining. Their voices alone are entertaining. My favorite btw, is SEVEN, the woman is a DIVA!! Her voice is so unique, OMFG!! and she's a beautiful, sexy, classy black woman. But, all of them are beautiful, and talented. Look out for their album coming soon. Seven said the fall, but Ne-yo told her to say soon. I guess because they're not entirely sure. BTW, with that said, they are in the studio now with Ne-yo. And this is Rich Harrison's group, who is most known for working with Amerie, and her live-band (Go-Go) sound.

Jason Derulo' : On the Set *NEW PICS*

Jason Derulo is currently on the set of his new music video for his hit single "Whatcha Say", the song is currently a Digital Gainer on Billboard Hot 100. It has jumped from #24 to #13 this week. And that is without a video, and limited performances. He just punchin everybody right on out the game. The single is probably set to enter into billboard hot 100 top 10 next week, especially with the video coming soon. He's currently one of my new fave artist as of right now. He's talented (Sings, dances, choregraphs, writes music, acts, etc.), he's fuckin handsome, and I LOVE his songs, he only got 2 on his myspace, but both of the songs I LOVE!!

Anyhoo... the pics from the video set:
