[Free For All Friday] Go Nuts, People!



It's that time of the week again: Welcome to another Free For All Friday! I'm STARVING, so while you gossip about whatever, I'm going ta get to cooking some pasta. I'll check back in later!

As per usual, the rules:
  • Try not to get too perverted-this site still needs to basically be "safe for work".
  • If somebody starts a controversial subject, try keeping it civil when dealing with it. If things get out of hand please flag the conversation.
  • It would be nice if it stuck to music, but it's not a requirement! So talk about news, current events, how you're getting your hair done next time you hit the hairdresser! Whateves, really!
  • No nasty comments aimed at other users.
Inappropriate hugs to all y'all and wishing you an awesome weekend [of the bank holiday kind if you're from my neck of the woods]!

  1. I AM going to go nuts and start this off with the beautiful voice of Maura O'Connell.

  6. You know who I really like? America hasn't heard enough of her and I think she's fantastic: Luciana

  7. I stumbled upon "Betcha Gon' know" a song from Mariah Carey's album Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel and this song actually brought me back to Mariah. I stopped following her since 2005 but this song is just amazing

    ReplyDelete
  8. I think he heard Luciana. ;-)
    (thought I'd better throw that one out there before someone makes that joke about one of my links LOL)

    ReplyDelete
  9. I presume the link is pending?

    ReplyDelete
  10. There are a lot of amazing songs on Memoirs. I recommend 'Languishing', 'Angels Cry', 'More Than Just Friends', 'Standing O' and 'It's A Wrap'. I love all of those songs. The whole album is great though. Really toned down and different from any Mariah release.

    ReplyDelete
  11. Love that album!! Was really consistent which meant unfortunately if someone didn't like one song, they weren't going to like the whole album.

    ReplyDelete
  12. awww, she's so cute... sorry. What an earthy voice she has.

    ReplyDelete
  13. Lol, you think that's going to stop anyone?

    ReplyDelete
  14. Direct hit. Got me there!

    I didn't expect Luciana would be your style.

    ReplyDelete
  15. The Cataracs feature singers so if I'm not mistaken, Dev wasn't part of that group. Different singer, different sound.


    I like Dev too.

    ReplyDelete
  16. Depends on how creative they are. If Gaga was hanging on your blog, I am sure it would not. ;-)

    Now that I'm throwing shade anyway....

    ReplyDelete
  17. You are a wise man. But I was going to simply pass by without so much as a whimper, much as I WAS whimpering. Except then I realized the joke to be made and I just couldn't resist. ;-)

    ReplyDelete
  18. Don't apologise! I agree. She is cute....

    She is also quite awesome. This one is from her 2009 completely A Capella album "Naked With friends"

  19. It's actually my favorite album from Mariah. I love the consistency with the low-key R&B/Hip-Hop stuff, and how she showed her lower range, but still had good belting moments throughout. I thought it was beautiful overall.

    ReplyDelete
  20. Yeah, it was the first Mariah album I listened to that really flowed from start to finish with the same type of sound. I don't really know how to explain it, but all the songs had the same atmosphere. All of MC's albums are amazing, in my opinion, but Memoirs is unique in its atmosphere. By the way, I'm new to this site and I love it already! Just out of curiosity, who is your fave diva?

    ReplyDelete
  21. Dev and The Cataracs were never a group themselves, but just really really frequent collaborators. And I assume Dev is on a music hiatus since she gave birth around maybe less than a year ago. The Cataracs have collabed with other people since, like Selena. Love all of them tho.

    ReplyDelete
  22. Waaaah I've become obsessed with Amy Lee lately, specially with this song http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BUCe3j9d8Lc, she sounds like an angel! I've been replaying it the whole day...


    By the way, since you Diva gave us permission to do this, I wanted to ask: any suggestions for a male hairdo that can dissimulate a big forehead? ^^U I'm gonna move to another city in September and I want to make a whole change both in personality and physical appeareance.

    My favorite song off the album: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WRXnwyDUUeE (It's A Wrap)

    ReplyDelete
  29. I'm probably a bit weird, but I really didn't much care for Memoirs - it had its moments, and it was really fun and chilled out, but it lacked something as a whole for me. My favourite Mariah album will always be Charmbracelet, followed by Emotions. There's something about those two albums that her other material always seemed to lack - real rawness.

    ReplyDelete
  30. Thanks Ricky. I also liked It's A Wrap. You guys were singing such high praises of that album, I decided to download it but haven't listened to anything other than the two above songs yet.

    ReplyDelete
  31. Still totally "Hot" song imo

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7WZ33w3B8Hw

    ReplyDelete
  32. Don't get me wrong, the vocals and the material was stronger in Memoirs, but the production sounded cheap, tacky, and same-y.

    ReplyDelete
  33. Middle aged and still sings better than 99% of singers today xD. I love this performance and medley!
    GO MARIAH!

  35. This performance has a whole review of it's own already. Where general consensus is...this was dubbed. making your claim a bit......dubious. ;-)

  36. Sounded dubbed lol.

  38. I know not too many people here are fans of utada, but did anyone hear that her mother committed suicide yesterday? This makes me sad because 1) I hate hearing about stuff like this, and 2) I don't think Utada's ever returning to music now.

    ReplyDelete
  39. Are you serious?

    That's so sad.






    Come back to me Utada :(

    I loved the album. But that album needs mood to listen to. Otherwise you'd think it's annoying.

    ReplyDelete
  41. Ricky Yong Chin Yuan24 August 2013 at 06:16

    Ah ah. I got you wrong. But now I got you right. Yeah. But I liked the sound of the album.. so... no criticism for me, except Obsessed. Worse song in the album imo.

    ReplyDelete
  42. We'll see. I definitely liked "It's a Wrap' better than Betcha.

  46. I've been loving me some Demi Lovato as of lately. Her ability to emote has been impressing me lately. Also, this song of hers below, is song with warmth, eeriness, and depth that I didn't know she was quite capable of. I'm a bit impressed.... Though lyrically, its a bit rough around the edges...

    ReplyDelete
  47. I am addicted to the songs Bruises and Let Her Go.

    ReplyDelete
  48. Misia has belted an Eb6 before right?

    ReplyDelete
  49. Would be so much easier if you added a link. Or at least the name of the singer of those songs? :-)

    ReplyDelete
  50. I bought her latest album and I love it!

    ReplyDelete
  51. Latest episode from the Kety Perr: Pert of me the show :D http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_EYgrdOSvE0 Basically it comes from a plot twist from the original Nekci Menij show and it's just as good. Those are satirical shows with all the "latest flop quens" and if you understand the references it's absolutely hilarious. Characters include Medoner (Madonna), Rhenna (rihanna), Adole (Adele), Brinty Spreas, Merier Care, Lona delery, Share, Nekci Menij of course, Bayonse, and many more.

    ReplyDelete
  52. Good tune imo

    ReplyDelete
  56. Languishing makes me cry like a little girl.

    ReplyDelete
  57. I don't think I'll be downloading the album soon but I will one day. I bought her third album and didn't like it much so I'm apprehensive about illegally downloading the fourth one.

    ReplyDelete
  58. Lol, I love you too.

  64. Hated the video but really liked the song. :-)

    ReplyDelete
  65. I am serious, unfortunately. She jumped from her 13th floor apt in Tokyo. I can't help but wonder why. It's also been reported that her and Utada haven't been close in recent years.

    ReplyDelete
  66. Man! I totally forgot about her ever since Degrassi xD

    ReplyDelete
  67. Just re-listened, her upper belts are really thin.. her E5 and F5 belts seem to be the best though. What do you think her vocal type is? It's hard to tell for me? She obviously has the range of a soprano, but I'm not sure what she is.

    ReplyDelete
  68. Destiny's Child 'Emotions" has been on repeat lately xD the live version especially. That soprano C6 is pretty stellar. (I prefer Beyonce's, even though Kelly's was more natural and not pushed.)

    ReplyDelete
  69. Suggestion... Listen to WRECKING BALL - MILEY CYRUS. With all this nonsense going around with Katy Perry's "Roar" and Lady Gaga's "Applause", this song is better than both in my own humble opinion. It was just released on itunes. Good day!

    ReplyDelete
  70. Found it on youtube xD

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w4hve_cyKqw

    ReplyDelete
  71. I'm not suprised at all, actually. WCS was definitely a buzz single with a great video. It was a smart move on her part. The bridge really got to me too.

    ReplyDelete
  72. What I really like about Miley is that I also hear stuff like this about her
    There's more to this girl as a musician than the gossipy stories.

  74. I like the live performance when beyonce smashed Celine's dion ugly face. Shame!

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TRZFgfZukRM

    ReplyDelete
  75. That's actually the one I'm talking about xD, but Beyonce usually gets the lead roles in group songs. I think Celine was being nice and just letting it be.

    ReplyDelete
  76. Celine "being nice"? The same woman who tried to steal Aretha's thunder on Divas live? Are we talking about the same person? Guess not.

    ReplyDelete
  77. Aretha actually had sang over both Carol and Celine's parts of Natural Woman, Celine simply sang her part. I didn't like Celine's vocals there, they were nonsensical,, but I will give her a small clap for reclaiming her part, Aretha's ego can be too big at times :)

    ReplyDelete
  78. Bruises is by Train featuring some other singer, and Let Her Go is by Matchbox Twenty, I personally wouldn't recommend either song or artist :)

    ReplyDelete
  79. For using a gif of Jensen Ackles, I'll give you a thumbs up :)

    ReplyDelete
  80. I'm shocked, her voice went from mezzo to borderline contralto,
    I'd say she is a contralto, but I'd need to hear more material of the state her current voice is. A lot of change from "Shark in the water"

    ReplyDelete
  81. ok, but she was disrespectful. It was Divas live ARETHA's tribute. Celine didn't understand that.

    ReplyDelete
  82. No, Celine just sang her part, as was rehearsed.
    Just because it was Aretha's tribute doesn't mean she can be an ass and step over everyone's lines that were assigned ahead of time. I respect Aretha's impeccable musical ability, but she is a rude woman, and stealing lines at a show falls under rude. Celine wasn't disrespectful, she just sang her parts (as assigned to her), and then answered Aretha's call-and-response towards the end.

    ReplyDelete
  83. Cheers Serendipity. Knowing your taste and you knowing mine I guess I won't bother hunting those two down. :-)

    ReplyDelete
  84. Lady gaga made the picture lol

    ReplyDelete
  85. LOL Can't take much credit for that though. I had and have (even now that I know his name) no idea who the dude is. Simply searched for a *rolls eyes* gif and liked this one for the situation.
    Guess I will have to Wiki the dude now.

    ReplyDelete
  86. I'm not crazy about him as a person, but his face is nice to look at :)

    ReplyDelete
  87. LOL Turns out it is no surprise I didn't know him. Only show I watched that he was in was Dark Angel. And you seriously cannot expect any lesbian to remember any dude from a show which stars Jessica Alba.
    However nice his face looks. That's just no competition....at all!

    ReplyDelete
  88. Aretha wans't calling anything. Celine was showing off and trying too hard.

    ReplyDelete
  89. Neither is Aretha.

    ReplyDelete
  90. Don't you then also have to get married at least 7 times? That father in that case doesn't sound too right in the head either? ;-)
    Also, if they hadn't been close for years..why would this lead to a singer never returning to music again?

    ReplyDelete
  91. The Great Streisand (pre autotune and I'd be guessing 90% of all other electronic crap used standard these days).

    ReplyDelete
  92. I don't think that I've ever heard Beyonce push a note in my life - the difference between the two was that Beyonce was using full head voice while Kelly used a lighter, less connected falsetto.

    ReplyDelete
  93. Just because a night is in tribute to you doesn't make it 'Aretha and the Arethettes'. Every singer on that stage had an exceptional amount of talent and ability, and stealing lines under ANY circumstance besides if someone forgets theirs is just plainly rude as Hell. Aretha should have been the one to show some respect both for herself and for the other women on stage, and learn how to step down.

    ReplyDelete
  94. Ok. It's your opinion. I respect that, but Celine was very rude.

    ReplyDelete
  95. Yeah, she is an exceptional vocalist but people praise her to the point of it being ridiculous. Also calling Celine Dion rude just because she sang the part she was supposed to.. I mean, Aretha seems to have issues on stage when the spotlight isn't on just her and this was just another occasion where that showed. One of them was wrong, and for me, it's not Celine.

    ReplyDelete
  96. Tbh it always annoyed me a bit and even more so today because the other great singer of the same generation( albeit a different genre) was Streisand and I feel especially now, Aretha get's a respect Streisand does not get from the general public.


    Of course, that's what you get for being an outspoken liberal who puts her money where her mouth is. ;-)

    ReplyDelete
  97. No, Beyonce definitely pushed. She opened her jaw to force the note out instead of naturally allowing to to come out on its own. I think that's why her note was brighter and much louder -- she needed to project out as much as she could to stop the C6 from dropping or cracking. Keep in mind that this was 10+ years ago, so she has increased technically since then.

    ReplyDelete
  98. HauntinglyHollow25 August 2013 at 22:40

    Seriously, this is my favorite show ever LOL it is amazing, can't stop watching..

    ReplyDelete
  99. Actually, when it comes to classical technique; you do open your jaw a little more fully to access higher notes if you're using full connected head voice. Beyonce's note was a little pushed but that technically was correct. Your rear jaw muscles are meant to be as loose as possible while singing which, naturally, leans you to open your jaw a little more as your go higher. If you want a quieter sound, you just don't open the entire jaw - drop the rear, leave the front a little more closed.

    ReplyDelete
  100. Ahaha I've been OBSESSED with this show!

    ReplyDelete
  101. Her fourth album is defnitely more pop than the R&B/Soul influence she had on Unbroken. But I think the ballads on it are definitely worth a listen: Nightingale, Warrior, In Case.

    ReplyDelete
  102. Yeah. Opie basically said it all for me haha.

    ReplyDelete
  103. I don't think it's as much "old" Miley as it is "serious musician" Miley taking a step forward with her sound. But all in all I think it's a fantastic song with great lyrics. I'm hoping to see a lot of writing credits on her new album, since she co-wrote all the songs on Can't Be Tamed except for the cover.

    ReplyDelete
  104. If you like that song you might like "Two Pieces". They're both rock-pop ballads, although her voice in Two Pieces isn't nearly as emotive. It kind of reminds me of Christina Perri's "A Thousand Years".

    ReplyDelete
  105. You're right, and he could very well be the one that drove her to commit suicide. Although, her mother had been behaving strangely in recent years. Back in 2006 she was arrested or carrying 400,000 dollars with her on a fligt in currencies from several differnt countries. also, it was believed to be drug related. Now of course I'm only speculating, but before Utada went on hiatus she cited not spending enough time with her famiy as one of the reasons for wanting to take a break from music. I would imagine she might feel guilt for not spending time with her mother, or not seeing the signs. Also, before taking her hiatus she released a song to commemorate her mother, who was also a singer. Which, in my opinion, means that even if they weren't close, Utada still very much respected and honored her mother.

    ReplyDelete
  106. Definitely sounds like some mental issues going on there. That in contrast to Lee Thompson Young's suicide. Did you hear about that one?

    http://www.nydailynews.com/entertainment/gossip/lee-thompson-young-leave-suicide-note-source-article-1.1431739
    Found that very sad because by all accounts no history of drugs or alcohol or any "issues" of any kind, a likeable and liked guy, career going well, only 29.
    That makes you think he was one of those people who just live in mental anguish. very sad

    ReplyDelete
  107. That is sad. Judging by the article, you would think he had no reason to commit suicide: Handsome, talented, successful career, well liked. At the same time, I'm not all that surprised either. Someone in the comments brought up a good point that anyone can have a moment of weakness. Ah, I have a soft spot for stories like this.

    ReplyDelete
  108. I saw that comment but I think that is not a moment of weakness but a long time of mental anguish.
    May not seem like there's a reason for that anguish to most but it's there for the sufferer.

    ReplyDelete
  109. If he's talking about the Let Her Go that sounds on the radio these days, he's talking about The Passenger. I like that song but can't stand the guy's voice...

    ReplyDelete
  110. Aaaaaah OK, when I read "side" I thought it refered to the side of the face, so I pictured he was referring to sideburns.

    I thought about side bangs, by I didn't want to let my hair grow so much because I already had Harry Styles-like hair and it's annoying as hell, but I like this guy's http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yWqIzPtA7TE side bang, I think I'll copy him ^^

    ReplyDelete
  111. When she sang more than her lines? Yes, I will agree to that. Thankfully, she didn't up and walk off the stage.

    ReplyDelete
  112. It was dubbed in a different way, though...she actually sang it live three times, and then just used the best vocals for each song. I'd say it's at least a step up from resinging the whole thing in a studio and then perfectly matching the mouth movements for T.V. (which she never does, let's be honest).

    ReplyDelete
  113. I think Mperry93 summed up what I was going to say pretty nicely. I think that I just mixed up the meaning of 'pushed' in my head - pushing for a note when you have great breath support and technique is sound and won't hurt the voice. It's how operatic singers achieve their highest notes, and Beyonce is a mezzo, so high C is getting a bit up there without whistle notes. Honestly, I always prefer Beyonce's voice, but that's not to discredit Kelly - she knows how to use her voice, and her high falsetto is, as you said, very natural and unforced, and for that reason I can't really say that what she was doing was bad - just unconnected.

    ReplyDelete
  114. Doesn't matter how it was dubbed. (and I agree that it is different than lipping to a studio recording)
    Point was, it is not exactly a shining demonstration of how Mariah "sings better than 99% of singers today"
    99% of today's singers that I listen to don't lipsync at all and don't need three live takes to make one good one.

    Now, don't get me wrong, Mariah at her prime was supreme but to claim she's still at that level or even close today is fooling oneself imo.
    It's not like she lost it completely by any means but too many performances of the last few years that show, she is not the singer anymore she used to be. And there just are many singers out there who's voice is in better shape.

    ReplyDelete
  115. Btw you do know high forehead used to be thought of as looking intelligent? Not sure why you'd want to change it anyway. But then again, it's hard to tell if you never seen a person . ;-)

    ReplyDelete
  116. I agree with that.. and I would argue Streisand is better than Aretha. I find it kind of sad that Streisand seems to be more remembered for the "streisand effect" rather than the fact that she is one of the best vocalists we have ever had

    ReplyDelete
  117. Totally!!!! Agree with your every word there.

  118. Well, I guess it gives that impression, because many people say that I look like an intelligent dude (Although, unfortunately many people prefer using the word "nerd"...) I don't know, some days I love my big forehead and some days I hate it, I gues I'll have to ask someone I know personally. I also thought of letting my beard grow so it attracts more the attention.

    ReplyDelete
  123. That's entirely fair. On occasion, to also be fair, she shows us that she can still really knock it out of the park, but yeah, she's nothing like she used to be (Christmas 2010 being the exception to that - something disturbingly perfect happened that December).


    However, you must be really selective with your singers if they don't lipsync 99% of the time. Or just listen to a lot of non-pop. Personally, unless someone has a literally damaged voice (Mariah being a prime example), I hate even the idea of lipsyncing, but to each their own.


    I just sometimes wish that Mariah would either force herself on vocal rest without alcohol and sleeping right, or would stop trying so hard to sound like she did in the 90s with the whole '3 take' deal. Yes, she used to do that in the 90s as well, but that was only on days when she was feeling off.

  124. I don't think either are better than the other, I think in America, Barbra, Ella, and Aretha are the epitome of vocalists.


    And outside of America, Caterina Valente and Mina Mazzini, imo Caterina and Mina are the best pop singers, ever.

  125. Yeah he probably is, the song I was thinking about was "She's So Mean" by Matchbox 20, because it has that line "You'll never let her go" (or something like that). I can't stand that song either, so oh well lol.

  126. That's impossible. It is easier to bring peace to Palestine. lol

  127. Thanks that was the guy I was talking about. I too like the lyrics (and arrangement) more than his voice but what can I say I love nicely arranged words.

    ReplyDelete
  128. Sorry. I would have included a video a video but I was/ am using my phone and instead of moving heaven and earth I excluded a video figuring if one wanted to look up the song it wouldn't be too hard with the likes of google, spotify, soundcloud, and etc. The name of the songs I left off out of forgetfulness, but: Bruises is by Train and Ashley Monroe, Let Her Go is by Passanger, as stated in below comments. This is William Monk by the way.

    ReplyDelete
  129. oh, hi William. Had I known it was you I would have gone with my first assumption, that whoever posted the comment was on the phone. But I thought maybe someone new, i'd better point it out because I think if it gets too vague, most will likely not take the trouble to go on a search. :-)

  130. There's a cover band called Boyce Avenue whose singer has an extremely beautiful voice. If they do a cover of it I'll link it to you and it's 99% sure that you'll like it ^^

  135. What the ...LOl. This needs further investigating!

  136. In pop I like Marina, Adele, Florence, Anouk and Kelly Clarkson.
    As far as I know, they sing live.
    And yes, I am really selective and one of my criteria is the ability and choice to sing live.
    When I hear of a singer I don't know who people say is great, first thing I do in my research is go to youtube and look for live videos.

    But indeed, because of that I mainly listen to Americana genre.:-)

    ReplyDelete
  137. Now, try to find the video with Mariah explaining what happened that night. It's on youtube too.

    She still loves the simple, childish lyrics. But I really prefere this rockwibe over her popsuger songs like- Smile and what the hell.

  149. My friends keep raving about this! I am not so sold though, it sounds like too much of an auditory assault and the repetitive lyrics don't help, however there is something catchy about it...hmmmm

  152. Norways pop princess, Tone Damli latest single:
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=HX-noK3bvwQ

    The song is a little boring until the two minute mark. After that the song explodes into a beaty of harmonies, instruments and some pretty decent belting. I really love the heartbeat drums in the background. Reminds me of leona lewis- keep bleeding
    I would say it's worth four minutes of your life :)

    Even though Obama is too far left of field as a president, I respect him and will put my gripes to the side with this speech he made. My only issue is that, scrolling through the comments, I see that many people say he will never live up to King. It is quite evident that those idiots didn't listen to this speech at all! Obama is not trying to be a new MLK, but simply a current day interpreter of his message. The simple matter is that we have come far over the past 50 years since King's speech but still have a long way to go. People blind enough to see that need to take a serious seat and get over themselves. I mean, this is one of the pressing matters of our nation and for these ignorant commentators to say such things as what they did is a bit stupid. My professor is going to have a field day with this....

    ReplyDelete
  157. Too far left field? You got to be kidding me.
    And how that immoral assassin and warmonger would dare to even talk about King's message is beyond me.
    I'd down vote that video down a million times if I could.

    ReplyDelete
  158. aha, in that case I will have to retract my words. :-)

    ReplyDelete
  159. I should have said that Obama is trying to fulfill everyone's promises by catering to too many groups and not really having a solid direction rather than saying he is too far left of field. Lol my fault for poor wording. I just don't understand some of the issues many people have with Obama. I mean the economy was in its worst state since the great depression when Obama went into office (not to say it was in as severe a state as the great depression). People looked at him as if he was the answer to everything when he got in office. I mean, he only fulfilled half of his campaign promises and the fact that our government is currently divided doesn't help much to the situation. I hate the blame games but when it comes to politics certain politicians need to let go of their personal gripes before they get in charge of a municipality or even greater. And many people blaming Obama for the current issues need to first look at all the people in congress. I mean Obama only has limited authority over the nation. People in the comment section of YouTube can be utterly ridiculous.

    ReplyDelete
  160. I absolutely agree people in youtube comment sections can be utterly ridiculous. I also think it is an unfortunate thing most critics of Obama are Reps with little as excuse for a brain.
    And it is true those folks will blame him for stuff he indeed can do nothing about.
    Unfortunately them being Reps....they don't give a hoot about the stuff he can and should be blamed for. A lot of which happens to be policies Reps are actually all for and their (previous) merry band of criminals in the White House- Bush and co - instigated. Though Obama stepped them up a fair notch.

    The thing that slays me is the fact that seeing as he did perpetuate most of those criminals' policies and then some, Reps should be deliriously happy.

    They will never get such a Republican "Dem" in the White House again. One so completely in the pockets of the 1%.
    But ya know, seeing as they have little for brain....they think they should hate him.
