After three decades of hits, Madonna got nominated to be elected into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame–well deserved if you ask me! But only 5 of the 9 nominees will make it. I’m keeping my fingers crossed for Madge. I am not a fan of Madonna’s, but she worked her butt off with work and self promotion…she deserves to be there. When a person has been churning out hits after hits and albums going platinum and breaking chart records, I frankly would have liked to see her inducted at least at the beginning of this millennium. Well this should be the right time to induct her as she has announced that she will be going on a world tour as part of her 50th birthday celebrations. What are the criteria to make the ballot? Obviously they deserve it, but it seems like most acts are way past washed up when they are inducted
Hip-hop sensation Soulja Boy is back at the top of the U.S. pop charts after displacing Kanye West a week after the Stronger hit maker toppled him. Soulja Boy’s Crank That (Soulja Boy) spent two weeks at number one earlier this month but fell to two last week as West scored a brief chart double by claiming top spots on the Billboard album and singles charts. I said it time and again and please allow me the liberty to once again push my point that I always love it when a no-namer comes and pulls the rug under the feet of a well established super well known singer who has been crowned as a best selling singer time over time. That?s what pumps me up, get the adrelin following and make you that there is a time when the young guns find the ammunition and the artillery to fire and displace a top notch singer or anyone in any field. I do not why I am connecting so much to his success but then that?s what dreams are made of, you think if he can then so can I!
Way to go man, bust up these big ass losers.
If you ask a female singer, mainly those is the pop scene, who their influences are, there?s a huge chance that majority of the answers would boil down to Madonna.
British pop princess Natasha Bedingfield proves just that as she has just done a cover of Madonna?s ?Ray of Light?. And let me just say, it?s amazing! What makes it so amazing is that it?s very different from the original. It has piano accompaniment and heavy guitars with Natasha?s low mellow voice that?s almost like Regina Spektor.
But Madonna isn?t only for the ladies as former Savage Garden singer Darren Hayes also did a cover of the song. He also went with the guitar sound but his voice stuck true to the original. Yes, even the falsetto.
