Confessions From A Black Rose

Prepare yourself for perfection. I am having heart palpitations as we speak right now. Earlier today the fabulous Will Smith returned to The Graham Norton Show. He pulled out all stops bringing DJ Jazzy Jeff and Alfonso Ribeiro on the stage. I have died and gone to heaven. Now it's time for y'all to follow me to the afterlife. 

This is a continuation of my previous post . We are down to the final two, Candice and Kree. This has been my dream finale since the Vegas rounds. Candice's voice is like a musical instrument. She plays with it like it's a saxophone. She has great musicality,  her performance of Lovesong and You've Changed are standouts. I never once doubted she would be in the top 2. If she wins on Thursday it will be a well deserved win. I hope she releases a jazz infused album. You do not understand how much I need that album in my life. I hope this is the direction she takes her talent. She is too talented to not be successful. If anyone questions whether she deserves to be in the top 2, they need to have their ears cleaned. Kree is such an interesting story for me. I don't remember her before the Vegas rounds. In my defense her audition never aired, she was not a main focus during the group rounds and I missed her solo performance during Hollywood week. When she was introd

I had every intention of recording a video log about this topic but alas my flipcam went to video heaven. I've tried everything under the blue moon but it won't turn on. That is why I'm writing my thoughts down instead of verbalizing them in an awesome video. Since the topic was originally intended for video purposes it will be split into two parts. You probably guessed by my blog title that I will be talking about the cultural phenomenon known as American Idol. If not, don't be too hard on yourself the title was pretty vague. I've been fan of American Idol since season two. I have not watched all the seasons because I was living abroad at the time. My favorite winner is Kelly Clarkson because of her catalog of music. It's crazy to think she was discovered on a talent show.  When it comes to who I actually saw perform on the Idol stage , David Cook hands down is my all time favorite. Other contestants that I have loved are Elliott Yamin, Haley Reinhart and th

I know y'all been itching to find out what songs I have currently on repeat. Here are some are my favorite tracks right. Do yourself a favor and listen. 1. Mariah Carey ft. Miguel- #Beautiful Mariah is back with a vengeance. She is going to be snatching wigs this summer. I have been waiting for her to return to this sound since Emancipation of Mimi . 2. Zedd ft. Foxes- Clarity I was able to purchase this tune for free last year on Itunes. When I was at a hookah lounge, I heard this song on the radio for the first time. I fall in love and remembered I owned it. Probably my favorite song on the radio right now. 3. Icona Pop- I Love It I don't care, I love it! 4. Band of Horses- The Funeral This song is one of my favorite songs of all time. I don't think it is a track that is extremely popular which is a shame because it's absolutely beautiful. 5. Melissa Etheridge- I'm the Only One This one is oldie but goodie. This song is sexy, completely b
