Amy Winehouse - Great talent dies at 27

So I just got home a few minutes ago and went on my twitter, only to find out that Amy Winehouse was found dead at her apartment at the age of 27. Such a great talent wasted. She is year older than me and I cannot believe she died too soon. I mean I never met her or seen her performance, what a shame on me because that was one of the things to do on my list. I am kind of not shocked though because she did spend a lot of time in rehab. If she, only realized that she was talented and not spend time drinking and on drugs she could been in the studio and making a new album, because I think she made some real great albums that she came out with. Her voice will haunt us and her music will last as the classic artists that died of tragedy too soon before making themselves great they died with a short legacy.

My condolences to her family and family because for real Amy Winehouse was a true talent of words and I know that gets thrown out a lot. But even if I wasn't a HUGE FAN but a fan that respected music, she was on one of my respected song writers and artists I have on my list and that is pretty long. She inspired a deep and soulful pop/urban genre which is really ever seen these days with hard beats and upbeat tempos, she was a gem of one of those people that you can get you out of a dark place to relate to and can get you out of a terrible situation. Unfortunately for her she didn't a chance to get herself out of it. I know some people who were in a dark situation and later have come out of it because they knew that they couldn't go at that dark path and it wasn't worth it at the end of the day to make themselves better.

R.I.P. AMY WINEHOUSE



Nina Sky Night 2010

Hey Everyone,

   This is MusicAddictJane just doing a quick throwback to my night with Nina Sky. To be honest, I was just there to watch the ladies not to join them on stage, but that was fun. Getting on stage with Nicole and Natalie Albino was I think the greatest experience to feel what a artist goes through the eyes from a fans stand point. Here are some video of that night from February 10th, 2010.

My Review from my personal Facebook account and experience:

So Friday night was a amazing night. The reason why I think so i was contemplating about not going because of the lateness of it supposedly starting at eleven pm which didn't start until after one am. It supposedly started at The Skybar at The Guvernment nightclub but because of the wind and the coldness of outside, the DJ announced that it was cold and breezy to perform there so it was moved one floor down to The Drink. But before all that I was thinking of not coming but while doing chores (mowing the lawn) I heard "I Got A Feeling" by The Black Eyed Peas and some go out song I didn't know where it was coming from but I think it was a sign to just go. I am glad I did because it turned out to be a amazing night. I mean it started out for the longest night but the wait was very much worth it. After one pm and proceeding from the windy night and seeing Nina Sky come and head down one level, I didn't know where they were so i had to track down the assistant to the event co-ordinator at around one-fifteen to one-twenty am and songs being played . I found him and he was pointing that the two ladies were sitting there. It didn't click that he was pointing were they were sitting right where I was. I had to walk at first to notice that they were there. Of course I went over without any nervousness because I met a couple of famous people before.
I went to introduce myself of who I was the lady who asked for the flyer by twitter and my gmail account and introduced myself by name. My guy friend who I brought that night to take two pictures. It was supposed to be one, but I wanted to be sure that they turned out great. That is all I wanted to get pics and enjoy the night of their performance.
Later that night say around one thirty-five and on ward they did a song interlude and Nicole was singing "This is fun" and then the music played on.

By the two am hour the ladies of Nina Sky performed a couple of songs like Beautiful People, Move Your Body by request, a tribute to The Eurthymictics "Sweet Dreams" sung by Natalie, and had a interlude after Move Your Body later into You Ain't Got It. During the time between Move Your Body and You Ain't Got It Nicole picked me up stage and got me to move the George Brown students; also during those songs Natalie passed me her microphone during that time. But I got to help out singing You Ain't Got It with Nicole and let me interlude with them with Natalie beside me cheering me on. I think I got the crowd going when being flat cause they were busy taping it and it took my energy and confidence with Nina Sky beside me had me forgetting that I was on stage and getting off the stage and thanking the ladies for inviting me and let me perform with them. I got a lot of stares and looks of people wondering who I was. Honestly that was FUN and if I had to do that again I would.

I appreciate this out of of anything and meeting certain people this is one of the things that tops everything I have done meeting famous people around 2004, 2006-2007.

By the end of the night after having a wonderful time at the club and leaving the club by 3am I saw the assistant event co-ordinator of George Brown college, Nicole, her girlfriend (i think) and maybe a bodyguard or a rep of Nina Sky leaving the club and heading into their car and I yelled out to Nicole and told her to have a wonderful night and thanks for everything again and the co-ordinator and I heard her say "You're welcome" and I think from a far say "thanks for ripping the mic with us and you're pretty good up on the stage up there with us" and them waving bye at each other/Nicole giving me the thumbs up and pointing at me. This whole experience was definitely the highlight of this whole week for me, even months I say cause I never experienced what it was like to get up and rep, even sing in front of a crowd with your favorite artist I never experienced something like that before. I never even have been on stage in front of audience but I guess when you are in the moment, you forget where you are when you get on stage and just feed off the energy of the crowd.

Sure pics and autographs I have done before but nothing like I experienced with Nina Sky that night have gotten me to experience what it feels like to be a fan and perform with the artist on stage.

I truly thank them for that opporturnity and they know that.

Throwback Part 1: Paul Wall

So I am going to say that took place in 2006 and I think this has to be the most interesting and a great meeting with Paul Wall because this is the year this is the first male celebrity and nonetheless a Southern Rapper. If you have seen his grill on TV, to be honest that doesn't do him justice until you see him live with it.
I am so glad I got a picture with him cause he got swag but is cool, calm and collective Southern Grillz. Been awhile but most people would remember this video.

Thanks to my friend who took this picture for me with him on the side of him:

I would like to thank Much On Demand back in the day at Much Music for that opportunity to get to meet Paul Wall, been around for awhile as a fan and I thought dang, nice grills and iced out jewels.

Shooting Star & Set U Free Performed by Keshia Chante - From a Fans Perspective

Hey y'all,
   This is a quick post for Keshia Chante's Set U Free and the premier of Shooting Star from your newest Street Team Member of Keshia Chante's.

Enjoy.

SET U FREE

THE PREMIER OF SHOOTING STAR:

I'm starring at this reflection of myself
Starring at this mirror
Looking at myself
Got me wondering
When this launch pad
Of happiness I am seeking for
Got me questioning
Did I take the right path

Cause you got me seeking you
Out from far away
You got me doing things
I thought I wouldn't be doing
Around the others
I'd call you up
And texting you up
Cause it seems that they've
Failed cause you'.re the teacher of a lesson
That I've been wanting to learning
I've been a secret admire
For the longest time
Wanting that valuable
Lessons that I won't be
Regretting cause their teaching isn't affective
Makes me want to reach you
All night, got me saying
Things I wanted to say all my life

I'm finding this the right time to seek you out
And I'd be lying
To myself if I never said it
But now you know it
Cause I feel like my heart is in it
The right time to say
That I wish you were mine
But we far away so we say it
Over the phone
Fause the distance between us
Makes me want to just appear
Cause this life
I'm  leading
Ain't satisfying me
Although I made it look that way
I need you here and this other
Dude has got me pretending that I just
Wish you were here cause I
See he's tripping
That he knows he can't have me
Cause the chance was there
But he takes pictures
Wanting what he can't have
But he became nervous and I feel like that I got to move on
Cause it's just a friendship
And will always will be
Until it may to late

I'm looking for more than this friendship
Cause I want it to be more
And I think I found someone
Who's got my temperature peaking when it's lonley
He is the one I'  m thinking of
Cause he's fast and efficient
And has got me excited once again
To live the life I'm leading
Cause he gets what I'm needing
This reflection I am starring at
Is happening so
Fast that I'm denying the fact
That you ain't going as as I like you to be
So every excuse for me to this man is
To dream of to be at envy of all the bloggers and fashionistas
To be part of the world I've been longing for to fit in
So I dream big
To be in their status quo
Just to give the need when other parts of me
Aren't fulfilled
This is where I feel life is fulfilling!
