I've been sitting here with the new post tab opened for over an hour now trying to write my opinion on Lady Gaga's freshly released Born This Way single. I'm sorry but words simply cannot express how wonderful, epic, great, awesome, strong, important, moving, motivating, inspiring this song is. Just fucking hit play below and start trippin'. You better be fucking ready for Sunday's Grammy performance and future video (which has already been shot). It will break records. Make history. Change lives.

Rihanna has just set free her latest video for S&M, the first track from her latest album, Loud. The video is great, some people even call it her best video to date and I think they might be right. It's definitely interesting and suits the song well. In my opinion the video breaks into several acts, each of them discussed below.
The Crazy Room
The first scene of the video is shot in the pink zebra walled room. I think this is a literal representation of the depiction the press is making in magazines and on the web. I am pretty sure there's a man dressed as Gaga in there, that blonde is probably Britney and I'm sure Katy is hiding in there somewhere.
The Press Conference
Rihanna is dragged and pinned to a wall which I believe represents the fact that she is forcefully watched by the public eye, being put in a window display. The reporters are misinterpreting what she says, exactly how it usually happens, dramatizing events, ignoring the context and selling lies. Sensationalism. The reporters are wearing ball gags for the same reason Rihanna is having fun. This entire video is to prove that even though it's something you shouldn't enjoy, some people get pleasure doing it, hence the lyrics.
The good dog on the front yard
Perez is a known gossiper, he runs one of the webs juiciest celeb stories website. He is in a leash, Rihanna clearly controlling him. This shows that Rihanna does sometimes have control of the media and may stir that fire herself sometimes. She shows that she can play nice.
The prisoners
Unlike the last scene, Rihanna is now holding the paparazzi hostage.However she is still having fun, hence the popcorn. It seems as if it's her turn to watch what they are doing.
The headlines
How many silly stories do the reporters write? Enough to fill and entire room, who needs painting when you can just stick articles about you on the walls. You can see some pretty ridiculous headlines scrolling over her.
The clowns
Rihanna rook a more literal approach in portraying the media now by dressing them as the clowns that they are. Oh the silly things some people would do for a good story. The final shot portrays Riri just the way media usually does.
And to end things on a high note here's a Riri joke:
Rihanna : Oh na na, What's my name?
Person : Why are you asking what your name is?
Rihanna : Shut up and drive.
Person : Who do you think you are!?
Rihanna : Only girl in the world.
Person : Well you're not.
Rihanna : I love the way you lie.

Recently I started listening to Nicki's Pink Friday album and I can't say that I regret it. At first I did not entirely dig the whole rapping thing, too much usually irritates me. However the album has some amazing instrumentals that them alone make the album worth giving a spin. If you want some more Nicki I recommend checking out I'm the best, Save me, Fly (features Rihanna) and Last Chance (features Natasha Bedingfield).
Moving on to her current single, Moment 4 Life. It features the Oh na na, what's his name? Drake. Recently it got the video treatment, the right way. In the video the two get married in a Cinderella kind of story. Nicki is really hot as always and does a lot of funny faces in the video. Adorable?
This is my first Nicki Minaj post so I hope you will all get to love her at least as much as I do.

Have you ever wondered what your life will be like after graduation? Have you ever taken a moment in time to day dream about the future?
I often think about my future: future friends, future university, future achievements, future life. I hope that, one day, all of my dreams will come true. The first step on the path towards happiness is the day I finally graduate high school, degree day.
Unlike other people I already know what I want to do in life. I know that I will attend the West University of Timisoara, which I will for as soon as I get the results from my final exam, the Baccalaureate. Computers have always fascinated me but they are no longer a mystery though I would love to know more. Therefore I am planning on obtaining a bachelor's degree in computer science and become either a web designer or developer, though I could kill two birds with one stone. Luckily, the W.U.T offers students the opportunity to be taught in English so I will be able to combine two of my greatest passions.
I've come to realize that I do however have to move abroad in order to get a dream job at a multinational corporation. I believe that if one has enough will to learn he will be able to do that no matter where he is. I am not quite sure studying abroad is worth the money and time. Not even the best professor can teach an unwilling student.
The degree day will be both a beginning and an ending. Graduation day will close the last chapter of a book entitles High School, a novel way too long, tedious and only interesting in certain spots. It will also be a gateway to hopefully a better book, most likely called University. While some try to deny the fact that many friendships will end, I know the cold truth. We will all go our separate ways, only to be reunited by chance or decades. After all it isn't all bad as it most certainly means we will meet a lot of people with common interests, that is why college is sometimes called the best part of someone's life.
Future has yet to revealed though I am waiting for it with my arms wide open. Somehow I know that time will be good to me and I know that this blog and Gaga will always be there for me.

Lately Pink has been showing us a more sensitive side of her.
Her last single, Raise your glass, united all the 'underdogs' and 'freaks' in joy. It's a catchy tune with a strong message buried underneath lyrics and a video full of sarcasm. It's sort of your typical Pink song thought it's trying to beam a serious message.
Perfect, or Fuckin' Perfect, is Pink's latest single and it just received the message of her last single and it pretty much amplifies it. Pink wants us to love ourselves no matter what. The music slowed down so it can be in tune with the lyrics.
The video, however, blew me out of the water. It's the best video of the year so far. It is very and I mean very graphical, fits with the message though. It's probably the best video, ahem, perfect video for the song.

It's been a long time since I came around
It's been a long time but I'm back in town
And this time I'm not leavin' without you.
