Ok, this kid just blew me away......

Dust In the wind. Some of my favorite couples who couldn't get it right *sigh*.....

There are some couples who look so good together that they start to look alike.  Below are my favorite lovebirds who just couldn't  make it last *teardrop*.  Either he or she cheated, someone wasn't ready for kids, they just grew apart  or cocaine got in the way, lol.  No matter how you put it, at the end of the day-they're all dunnzo!  Ahhhhh, cue: violins........

                                      

Evening giggles: Really tho, we get this mad over Ramen Noodles?!?!

Music: Unreleased track by Common- "Next Time".....

Favorite throwback 80's group: "The Jets"....

"The Jets" were an 80's family singing group who were formally known as "The Polynesian Pearls". They were raised in the Tongan islands in Hawaii and then moved to Minneapolis. The group consisted of 8 brothers and sisters and were discovered by Don Powell. The Jets were popular for songs such as "Make It Real", "Crush On You" and "You Got It All" (which was my FAV)…..

With their unique look, wild bushy hair and infamous "non-matching/pastel color" outfits, lol. This brother and sister group rocked the charts in the 80's with their love struck ballads. Although, it's been years since we heard from them. The Jets are now touring throughout the country and are in the process of recording another album. Let's hope they come back full blast-*crossing fingers*.

*Sidebar-I secretly wanted to be the 9th member when I was a kid.  Shhhhhh.....

Rest In Peace to the legendary Lena Horne......

Last night legend Lena Horne passed away at the age of 92.  She was definitely a class act!  As a child, I remember my mom playing her music around the house while she cleaned.  One of my favorite songs of Lena's was "Stormy Weather", it was just smooth & soothing.  She was also the 1st black performer to be signed to a long term contract with a Hollywood studio.  I even recall watching "The Cosby Show" when Ms.  Horne surprised Cliff for his b-day.  I always wanted to get her to sing for my dad ever since watching that episode, lol.  Iconic, Regal, Graceful, Beauty and Legend.  You will be missed Lena Horne, may you rest in peace......

Lauryn Where Art Thou?!?!?!

Sigh, sigh and JUST sigh……

I was missing me some L-Boogie so much that I've been rocking out to her at work. I've been asking myself the infamous question that everyone else has been asking. WHERE THE HELL IS LAURYN HILL?!?!

"The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill" has to be one my favorite albums in the world. Right up there with "Off The Wall", "Purple Rain" and "All Eyez On Me". Every bit of it was pure genius, even down to her interludes. "Tell Him" and "Ex Factor" are my top songs on that album. I actually had the honor of meeting Ms. Hill about 3 years ago. Although, I was ecstatic, it wasn't the best encounter. I was on my lunch break and she was in front of "B. Smith's". She had on bell bottoms, a pink afro wig and platform shoes with a fish tank in the heel. It wasn't the Lauryn Hill that I knew and loved. She came up to me and in a raspy voice said "Wear that Bob Marley shirt well, RESPECT". Then she jumped into her car like a clown (I mean thief) in the night…very weird experience. Yet, I was sooooo happy to have met her eventhough she was off her rocker:( Lauryn come back, we miss you girl and this music industry NEEDS ya!!!!

Ahhhh her Fugee days....

Young days.....

Now this is the Lauryn we remember...

Then she met "HIM" Mr. Rohan....*side eye*

He broke her heart and this started happening.  First her hair went...then her head:(

It slowly begins......

BOOM-Enters the crazy L-Boogie....

Downhill from here.....

No words....

Dear (Crazy) Lauryn,

I don't know what you've done with the (old) Lauryn Hill.  We want her back though ASAP or else.  Thank you kindly:)

Ciao,

Pedro Strikes again.........

I was first put on to Pedro Martell a few months ago. He blew me away with his dance routine he did to Beyonce's "Check on it". Not only did Pedro let the camera HAVE IT. His confidence was also through the roof!!!!! Although, Pedro was born with no lower torso, he didn't let that stop him. He is a HUGE Mariah Carey fanatic and became an overnight youtube success. I am not going to lie, when I initially saw his video I was taken back. After it all sunk in, I had nothing but respect for him. So, with that being said, I decided to see what he's been up to. After doing a bit of research this is what I found. I am proud to present to you Pedro's music video. YES... music video, I love you Dro but, *BLANK STARE*. This is him lip syncing to Danity Kane's "Secret Place". Eventhough I really don't get it, I can't knock your hustle Mr. Martell! A few of us could learn a thing or two from you. Love who you are my people!

*FYI-For those who never seen the "Check On It" video, here you go....

Music: Theophilus London covers Marvin Gaye's "I Want You". Just when I thought this song couldn't get any sexier, IT DID! Theophilus kills it....wicked!
