Although there's another version of this video, this is the version I grew up seeing. I love how it shows his best moves from the "Thriller" years through the "Dangerous" era. It was popular in the 90s to have artists come out with a music video that was a mash-up of all their previous ones. However, this one is definitely the best one.

Enjoy!

"It's beyond Martin Luther/ Upgrade computer."

Gwen Stefani "Long Way to Go"

With all the misfortune going on in Haiti, this song has been replaying in my mind. Although the tragedies seen in the video aren't exactly what happened in Haiti, the words in the song share the same sentiment as to what the people over there may be feeling. And to think, this was released 15 years ago.


Make donations to UNICEF; every little bit helps, and this is a tragedy that could happen to any part of the world. At the end of the day we are all human and we are all on the same earth.

The video is a bit on the freaky side; however this would so be me with Michael Jackson. I never expected this sort of video coming out of the song which is very romantic and cute, yet Lily looks absolutely gorgeous...romantic... and cute...

In an interview with Rolling Stone Magazine, Madge discussed her collaborations with Justin Timberlake on the song "4 Minutes" and with rapper Lil Wayne on "Revolver" which she referred to as "badass".

However, someone the Material Girl wanted to work with didn't accept the offer. That someone was Eminem. "I wanted to work with him, but he didn't want to work with me." Her reason for his decline, "Maybe he's shy."

Too bad Michigan's bad girl and bad boy couldn't come together for what could've been an amazing collaboration.

Live Nation released a statement yesterday that the Fame Kills Tour has been cancelled with no further explanation. Possible reasons could be the lack of sold out pre-sale tickets due to Kanye West's outburst during MTV's VMA show during Taylor Swift's acceptance speech.

Rumors have been swirling that the rapper will be going into rehab to handle some unresolved issues dealing with the passing of his mother.

Despite all of the drama and hoop-la, Fame Kills would've no doubt been an artistic and interesting show. Too bad it didn't work out.

This video helps bring Drake back from the "Breast I Ever Had" video. [Intentional typo]. I enjoy all-star videos and the crown jewel was Eminem saving the best for last.

I guess West's antics on the VMA's were a good PR stunt to bring some attention to he and Gaga's co-starring tour. Find out when the duo hit your town and when to get your tickets by visiting the Fame Kills Tour site. You never know, it might be the GREATEST SHOW OF ALL TIME!!

The year was 1995, the place was BK, the essence-CLASSIC.

I had my iPod on shuffle this week and this song was one of the chosen few, at that moment I knew it would be a good video to post. Enjoy!

Ok, so I get the concept of the video, but I may have to give this an EWW. It's not a video I would watch over and over again and it feels like it's been done before.

I like Rihanna's look with the lace/net eye wear and beret, but that's probably it. I also like the dynamic of all three artists doing a song together-BUT (and I hate to say it) I think Beyonce's voice would've been a better fit for the song. Maybe there was a conflict of interest preventing her from being on the song lol.

So what's your take on it? Ooh la la or Eww la la?

Now I want to see these girls buzz there hair to this style AND include the curl loop!

Bullet is proud to present to the masses the lead track from this impending EP. "Mr Robotic", produced by Slot A, is yet another guaranteed floor filler from this Chicago performer who has been dominating shows throughout the Midwest in preparation for the Summer release of his new project. Already encouraging prime placement on major sites and finding its way into the crates of the countries' premier DJs, this is yet another reason why people should not sleep on 'MR ROBOTIC.'

ps.
Before you gloss over this post, don't sleep on the kid. He's gotten rave reviews in The Source magazine and has worked with the Cool Kids and fM's favorite twins, Christian Rich. Listen to the new single "Mr. Robotic" (located below) and don't forget to peep his MySpace AND to follow him on twitter.

Allen graces the cover of the August issue i-D magazine. According to her website she was "Photographed by Alasdair McLellan and styled by Kate Moss." In the i-D article she discusses fame and which Spice Girl she would choose to be. I'm a big Lily fan so this magazine will definitely be making its way into my periodical collection!

ps.
Check out her new music video for the single "22" on With or Without You!

But if Michael Jackson was livin', he wouldn't let this be....

I haven't commented on Michael Jackson's passing sooner because it finally hit me today how much of a reality it is. Earlier on the day of his death, I had made a comment on twitter along the lines of "First Ed now Farrah, only one more to go." Never did it cross my mind that only an hour or so later it would be MJ. The second the news broke my whole body had a chill. I'm not going to say that I was his #1 fan; to be honest I had put him on the back of the shelf for the past few years.  But the moment the radio said his death was official, all of the memories of him and his music crossed my mind.

Born in 1982 I was lucky to experience Thriller the first time around. And for the four decades that he has made music, I feel as though 90s Michael was "my" Michael. At that time I bought "my" MJ cassette and CDs, put up "my" MJ poster, and recorded "my" MJ music videos off of the TV.

But after watching his memorial today I saw more than just the man on stage that everyone loved-I saw the person. His humanitarian efforts were tremendous and the outpouring of love people had for him was large as well. Tonight I expressed on my facebook status that I "never knew I could feel so much for a man who didn't even know I existed...". How could one man make so many people feel the same way at the same time in the world?

When I was younger I would hear the song "Man In the Mirror" a lot in my house. Growing up it was never one of my favorite songs and as I child I always wondered, "What man is in a mirror?" Such an innocent question at that age, but now as an adult I know that "man" is me.

Thank you Michael for being the only artist in the world that my father, mother and myself could listen to. Thank you for making me want to make any effort that I can to make this world a better place. And I will continue to listen to your music and share it with others.

When history and music teachers are discussing his legacy in classes around the world, we can be blessed to say that we lived and experienced it in this life.

Meet you in paradise MJ.
