REALLY?!?!

This video will speak for itself... Rebecca Black.



And the music industry wonders why it's failing?! Because you waste your money putting someone in the studio crossing your fingers that she, somehow, will hit the demographic you are going for. So disappointing. The sad part is, her label (Ark Music Factory) actually has some pretty talented artist on their roster. Too bad this is their introduction to music scene.

Paul Dateh - Who Needs a Quartet When You Have Him?!

I had been searching the internet for some violin music a few weeks ago and came across Paul Dateh on YouTube. The first video you are going to watch was the first video posted by Paul 3 years ago. Here was my first impression of Mr. Dateh and, needless to say, it was a good one: 
                                  
After hearing this I went straight to iTunes and downloaded some of his music.

Paul Dateh has been studying and playing the violin since he was 4 years old. According to his website bio he dropped his major in Violin Performance to take up the Jazz Vocal program at University of Southern California’s Thornton School of Music. It makes sense that people were shocked since Dateh had been performing and getting classical training for the last 14 years. But, his goal was to become a successful musician in all aspects of the industry - vocalist, instrumentalist, and writer/composer. Listen to some of his tracks on his MYSPACE page.

Here's one of my favorite mashups. With the clever video editing he is his own quartet. HA!


Since his first posting in 2007, Paul's video uploads have attracted up to nearly 9 MILLION views to his YouTube channel to date! So Mr. Dateh, keep up the amazing work! Being that I have been playing the violin since I was 9 years old and appreciate the art of the violin; I love what you are doing with your talent and think that everyone should know what you are up to!

Paul Dateh: Violin. Vocals. Writing.

A couple more favorites:

Watch and listen to Paul's mashup of Billionaire by Bruno Mars and Virtual Insanity bye Jamiroquai - you can definitely hear the jazz/r&b influence in his voice.

Click Here for a short one called "Blame Drew's Cancer" written for his friend fighting cancer and who started to blame everything from Twitter running slow to losing his keys on his cancer. They put an uplifting beat to a good cause.

ABDC is BAAAACK!

Sara Bareilles - Soundtrack to Your Life

Ok...MAYbeee not the soundtrack to your life. But Sara Bareilles' new single "Uncharted" from her latest album "Kaleidoscope Heart" is the theme song to Audrina Patridge's new, self-titled reality show, "Audrina" which will be debuting on VH1 April 17, 2011. The video for “Uncharted” premiered this week on VH1 and features some very familiar and famous faces lip-syncing to the song. Check it out!



The new show, featuring the former "Hills" star, is letting us into the life of Audrina as we watch her balance her life between fame, family, boys (or men), friends and more. The song fits perfectly with this different side of Audrina Patridge that VH1 and Audrina fans are waiting to see.

Watch the most recent Audrina Promo featuring “Uncharted”  
What do you think of the concept for Audrina's new show?! Are you excited for it?! Comment below...

Jessie J - Who You Are

Jessie J dropped her debut album "Who You Are" on February 28, 2011 and I definitely recommend picking it up.  If you think that you haven't heard of Jessie J before, think again.  She was the mastermind behind Miley Cyrus's (and most of America's guilty pleasure song) hit "Party In the USA" and you hear her song "Who You Are" featured in 2010's dance movie hit Step Up 3D.

Who You Are has landed No. 2 in the official UK charts and 'Price Tag' is also at No.2 in the official single's chart. Her first single off of her album, 'Do It Like A Dude' is back up to No.10!


Watch her latest single, "Price Tag ft. B.o.B."
