Beyonce Knowles is still ‘shaking’ by her record-breaking Grammys win.
The ‘Halo’ singer picked up six honours at the prestigious ceremony last month – a record for a female artist – and is still in shock about her stunning haul.
She told Us Weekly magazine: “I am still overwhelmed by Grammy night. I can’t believe I set a record. I am so thankful to everyone – my family, my friends, the label. I have worked so hard and it seems that it all paid off in that one night. I am still shaking.”
While her win came as a shock to her, it didn’t surprise husband Jay-Z – because his wife is
so “magnificent”.
The ’99 Problems’ rapper said: “It’s almost got to a point where you just, you know, you’re almost numb to it because she’s so magnificent every single time.”
Beyonce, 28, also performed at the ceremony, covering Alanis Morissette’s ‘You Oughta Know’, as well as singing her own song ‘If I Were A Boy’, and Jay-Z admits he never felt so proud of her.
He said: “I’m a fan, you know, I’m a big fan.”
Beyonce’s wins took her total of Grammys to 16, another record for a female artist.
A mild earthquake shook northern Illinois this morning. rying to pigeonhole the restlessly creative Allison Moorer remains as gratifyingly fruitless as ever. Her latest release (and Ryko debut), “Crows,” finds the erstwhile Nashville fixture moving further away from country music and the roots rock she explored on her two albums for Sugar Hill Records. Embracing an approach presaged on “Mockingbird,” her Buddy Miller-produced 2008 covers album, “Crows” opts for a mostly stripped-down acoustic sound that provides the perfect setting for Moorer’s marvelous, R&B-inflected voice. With the compositions on “Crows” alternating in tone between hopeful and foreboding, Moorer explores themes of regret, loss and new beginnings with a deft hand and some of the best singing of her career. Highlights include “It’s Gonna Feel Good (When It Stops Hurting),” the lovely title track and the affecting piano ballad “Easy in the Summertime,” a reflection on her Alabama childhood.-Louis Hau.
Internet chatter had led to speculation that it might be an urban myth — nothing more than clever digital trickery spreading via the Web.
But our friend Bob Collins at Minnesota Public Radio assures us he’s seen it with his own eyes:
There is a billboard along I-35 near Wyoming, Minn., with a huge photo of former president George W. Bush and this question: “Miss Me Yet?”
Now, the push is on to find out who paid to have it put up.
Bob says there’s no readily apparent claim of ownership on the billboard, so he’s heading back to the scene to see if he can find out who’s behind the message. He’s also got some local politicos looking into it. He’ll keep us posted.
At first glance, it would seem to be from some person or group who isn’t thrilled by President Barack Obama’s performance so far — unless it’s a more ironic message from those who didn’t think too much of Bush and want to remind voters about him.
Anyone out there know anything about where it came from? Tell us and we’ll pass the word to Bob. As he says, we could do a little crowdsourcing.
Miss Carolina, Caressa Cameron from Virginia, won the 2010 crown of Miss America last Saturday night as she lets out her belting voice to Beyonce’s “Listen” as her talent presentation.
The 22 year old beauty bested out of 53 contestants. Background check on Miss America: She’s a journalism student at Virginia Commonwealth University and never thought she could win the crown. She always thought of herself as someone with a big voice and can sing very well rather than wearing a beauty queen’s crown.
When asked during the interview portion her thoughts on what records search shows as one of the troubling cases came out: childhood obesity came into the room fluidly as she showed her concern in this matter. She advised that kids should go out more and play– “Expand your mind, go outside and get to see what this world is like.” Caressa said further in her interview. As she won she says that her testament was her family’s strength.
Hosting the Miss America Pageant is EXTRA Host and Actor Mario Lopez with the help of Clinton Kelly of TLC’s “What Not to Wear”. The pageant was broadcasted live on TLC.
Included in the panel of judges were radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh, actress Vivica Fox, musician Dave Koz, Miss America 2002 Katie Haraman, gymnast Shawn Johnson, and former American Idol finalist Brooke White.
Background check company shows that all in all Miss America Organization awarded $340,000 in scholarships at the national level. Cameron, CAvinder and Blaszczyk each won $2,000 earlier in the week for the talent competition. Miss Oregon Barber and Miss New York Alyze Zwick and Miss Puerto Rico Mimi Pabon each won $1,000 in the swimsuit competition. Miss Oklahoma Taylor Treat won $6,000 Quality of Life award. The Scores based on a week of preliminary competitions were added to Saturday’s big event to determine the winner.
With the Miss America crown and $50,000 scholarship, Cameron now has 365 days to gain inspiration and gain momentum so she can shoot through the moon.
My brother has a copy of this song in his cell phone: Michael Buble’s “Everything” is one of the best feel good songs I have ever heard. It was soft and it was sang smoothly (what cold you expect from Michael Buble except the best).
Everything speaks of overcoming every obstacle there is with love and with togetherness. He describes “that special person as every positive thing that takes away every bad thing”. For every object associated with fun he connects it with that special person. She became his shooting star, his light, his carousel; all that may be childish at times yet makes everything turn out okay. The video on the other hand shows him in this empty studio or warehouse as he sort of search for people with the right kind of act. It was thrilling honestly although I can’t help but think whether the person was
Ever since I heard that song I downloaded it immediately for my own cellular phone and was my ringtone for a month. Can’t get enough of it really, it’s like hugging a teddy bear or a little girl while he sings that song for someone. It may be romantic at some point but somehow what made it perfect is that imagination when you see it with a little girl, two best buddies, parent and child, etcetera. It’s like a certain hugger for the bad times. For me it’s that little kid that says “I’m your sunshine”, with tiny hands that reach out—now that’s everything in one little kid called yours. It’s a crazy life honestly and having that one little tot as yours gives you that smiling moment.
*******
For every person waiting for that one special person to brighten out their days: Another feel good song from Buble that can change every hopeless romantic and even those heartbroken pips change their minds about taking in love in their hearts once more: Haven’t Met You Yet
This is one song that would definitely find a person quirky and feeling enlightened. It was a cute video as well. There’s a certain thrill in it as he went shopping at the grocers. I mean imagine yourself one moment wondering where’s that one person who can make you smile and all of a sudden there she is (well Michael Buble’s the one singing) right there just in front of you. I like the line where he said to work out and to meet that one great love: “I guess it’s half timin’, and the other half’s luck,” The rest of the pieces I like are:
“Wherever you are
Whenever it’s right
You’ll come outta nowhere and into my life.”
Background check on every love story known to man will definitely tell you that there’s truth in those lyrics, especially when he sings that he is so positive that they can be amazing and that there is possibility in everything because of her love. Things will turn out at the right place and at the right time and the rest is history. Things will work out like fitting pieces of jigsaw puzzles together.
It’s like falling in love with someone you haven’t met. And when that time comes it’ll all be perfect.
For your public records search of these songs’ videos; they can be found in You Tube—just right at Michael Buble’s page. These are truly the songs to perk that lonely life and encourage loving and loving no matter how many times your heart gets broken or frustrated or whatever that makes it down.
