Songs: What’s the Big Hits of This Summer?

八月 1st, 2011 ok

Katy Perry, “California Gurls”

After a successful run on the Hot 100, including six weeks at No. 1, Katy Parry’s “California Gurls” claimed the top spot on Billboard’s list of the 30 most popular summer songs of all time. And she’s in good company.

“It doesn’t feel like summer if there’s not a Katy Perry single,” said Jessica Robertson, managing editor of MTVHive.com.

Perry’s singles — “I Kissed A Girl,” “Waking Up in Vegas,” “California Gurls” and “Teenage Dream” — resonate with listeners because they hit on all the touch points of a great summer song, Robertson added. They’re catchy, not too message heavy and can hold their own in any setting.

But songs don’t have to sound like they were written to accompany a beach party to find success in the summertime, said Keith Caulfield, the associate director of charts/retail at Billboard.

Lady Gaga, “Edge of Glory”

“Edge of Glory” is one of three singles that have been released off Gaga’s latest album, “Born This Way,” which came out Monday; and music insiders agree this tune has the most potential to soundtrack the summer months.

” ‘Born This Way’ is about a message, ‘Judas’ came out of left field in terms of pop sound, but (‘Edge of Glory’) finds Gaga doing what she does best — straight-up pop. It’s that youthful abandon feeling,” Robertson said.

Caulfield agrees: “The summer could ostensibly belong to Lady Gaga.”

Among Gaga’s three released singles, he said, “Edge of Glory” is probably getting more positive reviews in terms of song quality … and message.”

Nicki Minaj, “Super Bass”

“(‘Super Bass’) could be (Minaj’s) biggest hit so far,” Caulfield said. “The video is sexy and colorful. She rides a motorcycle made out of ice. If you’re baking on the beach somewhere, maybe you’ll think of riding a motorcycle made out of ice with Nicki Minaj.”

The tune, from Minaj’s debut solo album “Pink Friday,” has a “Teenage Dream” feel, if only for a second. And with a chorus like, “Can’t you hear that boom, badoom, boom, boom, badoom, boom, bass,” it’s probably going to get stuck in your head whether you want it to or not.

Enrique Iglesias (with Usher, featuring Lil Wayne), “Dirty Dancer”

Based on Iglesias’ recent hits, it seems he’s less concerned with being our “hero” than he is with making sure we’re not wallflowers at the club. Try standing still and listening to his newest track. It’s not easy.

Enrique has really made a comeback in the past year,” Caulfield said. “He stepped away for a bit and then came back really strong with ‘I Like It’ … and then “‘Tonight (I’m Lovin’ You).’ ”

He added: “He’s making really high-quality dance music that’s great for the club, and it’s really resonating with people.”

Robertson agrees: “It’s carefree and fun.”

Beyonce, “4”

Beyonce’s fourth studio album, fittingly titled “4,” comes out in June. The album could easily produce a summer anthem, Robertson said.

“Although, ‘Run the World (Girls),’ which I happen to like, wasn’t quite the hit we’re used to from [Beyonce],” she said.

And despite her amazing performances of the single on the “Oprah” finale and the Billboard Music Awards, it hasn’t exactly “set the world on fire,” Caulfield said.

“I don’t know what the shelf life of ‘Run the World’ is going to be,” he added. “It’s definitely an interesting single.”

Interesting perhaps because it channels Beyonce’s Destiny’s Child roots — girl power and repetition. Think “Survivor” or “Independent Women” with a harder beat.

Jennifer Lopez (featuring Lil Wayne), “I’m Into You”

“This song is hot, the video is hot, it’s the perfect soundtrack for summer,” Robertson said.

Lopez’s “On the Floor,” featuring Pitbull, is already somewhat of a club staple, she said, and “I’m Into You” is about to blow up.

Adele, anything on “21”

Despite lacking Robertson’s “song of the summer” prerequisites, music insiders agree that when an album is as well-done as Adele’s second studio album, bombastic beats and catchy hooks aren’t necessary.

It’s rare that a ballad will claim “song of the summer,” Robertson said, but don’t expect to get away from Adele any time soon.

“(Adele’s) success could have happened at any time of the year. When the song is just that good, it could be spring, summer, fall or winter.”

Amy Winehouse Tops UK Charts After Death

八月 1st, 2011 ok

Amy Winehouse’s grammy award-winning album “Back to Black” has soared to the top of the UK charts for 8 days after her death in London.

As tributes poured in for the late star, who died on July 23, fans flocked to buy her albums, sending five hits into the top 40 — a record for the late soul and jazz singer.

While “Back to Black” knocked Adele’s “21” off the top spot, Winehouse’s debut effort “Frank” came in at No. 5.

The box set combining “Frank” and “Back to Black” also entered at No.10.

The success comes as the 27-year-old’s devastated family awaits the results of toxicology tests to establish the cause of her death.

Relatives believe her decision to stop drinking, following protracted battles with drugs and alcohol, may have been a contributing factor.

Gennaro Castaldo, publicist for music retail chain HMV, said, “It’s no real surprise that ‘Back to Black’ has gone back to the top of the album charts.

“We saw such a surge in demand for Amy’s albums soon after her death was announced that we pretty much sold out and had to re-order more copies.

“Obviously quite a few people have been downloading the album but many more seem to have wanted it on CD.

“Perhaps by way of feeling a more tangible connection with Amy and her music — which is something we tend to see when any great artist sadly dies,” Castaldo added.

“Back to Black” was previously the official albums chart No. 1 in 2006.

“Frank” achieved its best ever placing, having previously peaked at No. 13 in 2005.

In the singles charts, “Back to Black” rose to No. 8 from last week’s No. 81, having previously reached No. 25 in 2006.

“Tears Dry on Their Own” came in at No. 27, “Rehab” at No. 29, “Love Is a Losing Game” at No. 33 and “You Know I’m No Good” at No. 37.

How to Choose the Right Maxi Dress for Your Figure

八月 1st, 2011 ok

Maxi dresses are in style again! A style pioneered in the 1960s and 1970s, ankle-length maxi dresses are in theory designed to suit women of all body shapes. In practice, however, this is not usually the case. Typically, this style looks best on women of tall and slim stature.So choose the right maxi dress for your figure before you buy it’s quite necessary.

Women under around 5’10” that wear maxi dresses can often look shorter or wider than they actually are, while others with a fuller-figure often feel that they give no definition to their body shape.

If your dress size is a 16 or over, there are certain features of maxi dresses that you should think about avoiding. For example, stay away from halter-neck variations if you have a large bust because this style has the potential to make you look more top-heavy. Instead, look for maxi dresses with a scoop or v neck and sleeves up to the elbow or mid-upper arm. These features will flatter your assets rather than over-emphasise them. You should also avoid maxi dresses made out of knitted or jersey materials. These fabrics will cling to your body and accentuate any bulges. Instead, opt for loose cotton or cotton-feel materials during the day and silk for eveningwear, as these will softly frame your figure rather than squeezing it.

Women who measure under 5’10” in height should also pay attention to certain rules when buying a maxi dress. Patterns that run vertically instead of horizontally, for instance, can counteract the shortening qualities of the average maxi dress. What’s more, features that expose some leg can also add height to shorter maxi dress wearers – examples include side slits up to the knee or thigh, or hemlines that are shorter at the front than at the back. However, more often than not, inches are best added by wearing a good pair of high heels, ideally ones that are chunky or wedged and can stand up to the powerful presence of the maxi dress. If you have long hair, consider styling it in an up-do as well for added height.

For those that fall into both of these categories, there is one more important tip to bear in mind when wearing maxi dresses: separating the bust area from the skirt. Many maxi dresses are styled with an empire waist line, which has slimming and height-adding properties. But if the maxi dress you’ve got your eye on doesn’t have one of these, try adding your own belt instead in order to create a visible waistline and the illusion of longer legs.

Angelina Jolie Honoured at Sarajevo Film Festival

八月 1st, 2011 ok

Angelina Jolie has been honoured at the Sarajevo Film Festival for her acting and “active engagement in the complexities of the real world”.

The award, called “The Heart of Sarajevo,” was handed to Jolie by festival director, Miro Purivatra, who said it was being given to her not only for her great impact in the movie industry, but also “for persisting in her active engagement in the complexities in the real world we live in.”

Jolie’s directorial debut — The Land of Blood and Honey — is a film about the war in Bosnia. One of the film’s lead actresses, Zana Marjanovic, introduced Jolie to the crowd by saying she had a friend there to help her present an award.

“I told Brad in the car I was afraid I was going to cry,” she said with tears in her eyes as the audience gave her a standing ovation at the Sarajevo National Theater.

Jolie said she experienced the “warmth and hospitality” of the city during her visits and was honored to receive the award – a silver heart she took out of the box and pressed against her chest.

“There is no greater example of the strength of artists than a festival that begun during the war and grows stronger every year. I find it remarkable,” she said.

The Sarajevo Film Festival started in 1994 in the besieged city, as its founders tried to offer citizens some sense of normal life. Residents braved mortar shells raining on the city to gather in a downtown basement and watch Quentin Tarantino’s “Pulp Fiction,” sometimes unsure whether the sounds of shooting came from the soundtrack or battles outside.

The festival began as an act of resistance in 1995 with residents braving mortar shells to gather in a basement to watch Quentin Tarantino’s Pulp Fiction. Some scenes from Jolie’s film In the Land of Blood and Honey – due for release in December – were shot in Bosnia while others were shot in Hungary.

On her visits to Bosnia for the UN last year, Jolie drew attention to the thousands of people who have been unable to return to their homes despite the war ending 16 years ago.

Most blouses are attached with sleeves unless specifically sleeveless blouses, which are opted for by the girls themselves. Due to this, the shoulder usually stay covered. If it was not enough, many jumper skirts are also made to be worn above the Lolita blouse to ensure complete modesty. If the traditinal Peter Pan style look is preferred then the Lolita blouses not only come with sleeves but also come with a collar along. In addition, a typical lolita blouse is often featured with bottons in the front side rather than the back. However, this can change from costume to costume especially when different styles of Lolita dresses are preferred to be worn.

It is stimulated by means of the gaudy drag costumes of graphic Kei heroes, its developing quickly in acceptance around the world. While it is complex to describe that it is a blend of 18th-19th century Western designs with Victorian, Gothic, as well as bondage-esque themes. It often use some accessories, such as ruffles, petticoats, maryjanes, bizarre, and adorable average hat, as well as a hell of our great offer of crucifixes.

Sometimes, the lolita blouse can be trimmed with lace on the hem. The collar and sleeves can also have laces. While western mouths often fall agape at pictures of outrageous fashion, there is many social lolita clothing, rabble rousing,and artistry taking place here. Satire appears to become most great shipped in the petticoat or coffin bag. One thing’s clear, the blend of unique visual that is made of social references the two historic and existing day, and east-meets-west interpretations-signifies Japanese style is normally edgy. If we need to look with a dolce model statement, select lolita skirts directly.

Marriage Jokes

❤Three men were at a bar. Two of the men were discussing the control they had over their wives, while the third remained uninterested.

After a short while, the two men turned to the third and asked, “What about you? What kind of control do you have over your wife?” The third man turned to the first two and said, “Well, just the other day I had her on her knees!”

The two men were dumbfounded. “Wow that’s incredible! What happened next?” they asked. The third man took a healthy swig of his beer, sighed and grumbled, “Then she started screaming at me to get out from under the bed and fight like a man!”

❤One day in the Garden of Eden, Eve called out to God that she had a problem. “What’s the problem, Eve?” He responded. “Lord, I know you’ve created me and have provided this beautiful garden and all of these wonderful animals, but I am still so lonely.” God replied, “I have a solution for you, Eve. I shall create a man to keep you company.”

Then Eve inquired, “What is a ‘man’, Lord?” God explained, “A man is a flawed creature with aggressive tendencies, an enormous ego, and an inability to empathize or listen. All in all, he’ll make life more difficult, but, he will be bigger and more muscular than you, and therefore able to help out around the garden. He’ll be really good at fighting and kicking a ball around, and he will enjoy hunting fleet-footed ruminants.”

“Okay, if that’s the best you can do,” replied Eve. God chided “Yeah, well, he’ll be better than a poke in the eye with a burnt stick! Now, you can only have him under one condition.” “What is it, Lord?” asked Eve. “You must let him believe that I created him first.”

❤A man was called to duty to help in the Crusades and decided that while he was gone, his wife should wear a chastity belt. So he locked her up and gave the key to his best friend, and said, “If I’m not back in four years, unlock my wife and set her free to live a normal life.”

So, off the husband went on horseback, when a half-hour later he sees a cloud of dust in the distance behind him. As it came closer he could see his best friend galloping to catch up. “What’s wrong?” he asked his friend, who replied, “You fool! You gave me the wrong key!”
