I've learned that there are </span><span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 51, 51);">musicians and artists</span><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);">, relentless warriors that try to build new sonic landscapes with any and all sorts of instruments (be it their voice or one made of wood and strings), that there are </span><span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 51, 51);">popstars</span><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 51, 51);">, </span><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);">idols and icons of the mainstream culture with differi</span><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);">ng skills and ambitions (...and lack of clothing) and a likability often bursting at the seams, and that -then- there are the rest, those with varying degrees of talent trying to reach that sky of luminaries.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);">In popular music, it is often hard to see where the lines separating these three sit. In </span><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 51, 51);">Litzy</span><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);">'s case (and in fact that of most of those in 90's Pop), many would argue both for and against her as a natural popstar or musician.

She, like her teen rivals Fey, </span><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);">Lynda, </span><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);">and Anahi, danced with effervescence, and delivered dance tunes to match the energy on stage. Litzy began to build a brand for herself in 1999, with more than enough qualifications to be called a popstar.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);">She soon released her debut record (</span><span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 51, 51);">Transparente</span><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);">) and began to unleash her pop creations onto the Mexican pop circuit with a surprising amount of success. "</span><a style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-weight: bold;" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k02Wg7MDNqQ">Quisiera Ser Mayor</a><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);">" and </span><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 51, 51);">"<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VJ9YPui-NbY&feature=related">No Te Extraño</a>"</span> <span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);">were instant radio hits and won her a solid fanbase which pushed the album to Gold sales level (100,000 copies sold)</span><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);"> </span><a style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);" href="http://www.terra.com/protagonistas/fama2004/articulo/html/pro371.htm">[1]</a><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);">.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);">That first album is arguably her best. Though she tries to cover far too much territory (from Eurodance to American R&B to minimalistic techno to middle-of-the-road-balladry) and the songs often feel under-written (specifically: saccharine-sweet) and in need of more effective hooks and production, the record works because of the girl's charm. Litzy jumps from genre to genre, frequently obliviously, but the audience can follow that naive voice throughout the enterprise.<br /><br />In "<span style="font-weight: bold;">Donde Se Esconden Los Duendes</span>", a straight-forward Dance Pop construction, she is either tripping on 'shrooms or playfully wondering whether goblins can tell her something about her lovelife. "<span style="font-weight: bold;">Quiero Volver</span>" and "<span style="font-weight: bold;">Olvidame</span>" find her (and the backing vocalists) confessing the angst of teenage love, with the former supported by a sturdy string loop. The lyrics are immediate and ostensibly superficial, but her skill for adapting to the needs of the song produces reasonably affecting tracks. Hit "<span style="font-weight: bold;">Quisiera Ser Mayor</span>" follows the same route, but the unaffected, serene way in which she chooses to release the lyrics allows for a more genuine feel; she sings about infatuation for an older guy (her brother's friend, she assures us), yet not in the form of a frustrated, over the top reclamation, but rather in a resigned, matter-of-fact statement. This track highlights the producer Eduardo Posada's cleverness in the conception of fine melodies. </span><br /><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);">"<span style="font-weight: bold;">Volar</span>" and "<span style="font-weight: bold;">Dame Un Beso</span>" chase after hooks with adequate success while in techno/trance cadence, and "<span style="font-weight: bold;">Marchate</span>" (in poor judgment) rehashes italodisco. For the album opener, "<span style="font-weight: bold;">Camouflage</span>" recalls the 80s glory of </span><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 51, 51);">Soft Cell</span><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);"> and </span><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 51, 51);">Frankie Goes to Hollywood</span><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);"> and that Argentinians </span><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 51, 51);">Miranda</span><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);"> would make so popular almost a decade later. The lyrics are smart and honest, the beats bouncy and inviting, and her voice demonstrates as much personality as conceivable for a tween pop album of the time.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);">Momentum in the initial part of the album continues in Track 3, Litzy's best song and signature single. </span><span style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204);"><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);"> As a debut single, a song has to captivate and hook, just what "</span><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 51, 51);">No Te Extraño</span><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);">" does. It's Eurodance at its best: bubbly, sharp, jumpy and -most importantly- catchy. Kitchen sink production. The lyrics are childish (here she decided to teach her listeners the name of every single body part and molecule [neurons, brain, stomach, arteries, mouth, atoms (!) and o yeah...the "calcium of 219 bones"]), but the affair is simply so jovial that this is easily overlooked.</span><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);"> <span style="font-weight: bold;">Pop Gold</span></span><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);">.</span><br /><br /><object style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);" width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/VJ9YPui-NbY?fs=1&hl=en_US"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/VJ9YPui-NbY?fs=1&hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);">Artists like Litzy will always spark debate.

Each one of us will value different elements of a musical act and his or her sonic landscapes.... and as long as the musical act succeeds in its goal (exploring vocal textures and piano layers or writing a sentence that will stick in an audience's head and will not let go), why not praise them for that?</span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 51, 51);">Until everyone gets that idea and the debates end, I'll blast "No Te </span><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 51, 51);">Extrano</span><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 51, 51);">" every time it comes up on my </span><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 51, 51);">playlist</span><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 51, 51);">. It reminds me that this girl (like any guy or girl), who may lack the vocal histrionics of a child prodigy or musical gift of Joan Sebastian can still possess the joy and likability crucial to be a star, a popstar.<br /><br />Download:<br /><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?mo35effjjlj">Mediafire [.rar/.zip] </a><br /></span><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);">Courtesy of eurodance209 @ <a href="http://happyhouse.aceboard.com/"><span style="font-style: italic;">The Happy House</span> Forum</a></span><span style="font-weight: bold;"><br /></span></span>Luys Migeelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06552845706517270773noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8758803225456519068.post-82469384558182057992010-08-14T18:59:00.000-07:002010-08-14T19:00:38.454-07:00I want to write Again<span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;">I'm writing. </span><br />.<br />.<br />.<br />Cheers.Luys Migeelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06552845706517270773noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8758803225456519068.post-57146112760465586012008-06-07T12:17:00.000-07:002008-06-07T12:55:19.912-07:00Colplay "Viva La Vida or Death and All His Friends"<a href="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/0/06/VivaLaVida.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px;" src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/0/06/VivaLaVida.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://rapidshare.com/files/120400317/Viva_la_Vida_or_Death_and_All_His_Friend__iTunes_Version_.rar">Rapidshare <strong>Download</strong></a><br /><strong>Rating:</strong> 9.3<br /><strong>Release Date:</strong> 12 June 2008<br /><strong>Recommended Songs:</strong> "Viva La Vida", "42", "Violet Hill, "Chinese Sleep Chant"<br /><br />Coldplay is on the move. With its powerful sound, Coldplay's new album "Viva La Vida" raises the band to new levels. Throughout the course of its 46 minutes, "Viva" traps you, captures every one of your senses and gives concrete proof of why it deserves the success its bound to obtain. Wether it is the Radiohead-ish "The Escapist" or the loopy "Chinese Sleep Chant", Chris Martin gives life to his lyrics ("Time is so short/ And I'm Sure/ There Must be Something More" :: 42). In this, the record doesn't deviate from its purpose. It knows how good it is and delivers.<br /><br />There is clearly something different inside the band. This isn't the dragging Coldplay which brought song after song with the same melancholy. "Viva La Vida", the album's second single is proof of this. Easily the best Coldplay song, "Viva" and its violins, tell the story (in an upbeat, shifting manner) of a fallen king. Last week, the song reached a new peak of #3 in the Billboard Hot 100, the band's highest charting single. "Violet Hill", with its majestic usage of guitar and drums, dives into another dimension; Martin appears to be somewhere far more trascendant than a studio. <br /><br />"Cemeteries of London", "Death And All His Friends" and "Strawberry Swing" all carry the similar strength and conviction."Reign of Love", remniscient of their prior effort "Till Kingdom Come", is very well one of the softest moments of the record, while "Yes" is one of the weakest. <br /><br />It is clear. Martin, Buckland, Champion and Berryman are set to embark on a new style which will give new airs to the band and help it on its way to legendary.<br /><br />REMINDER: The downloads are for evaluation purposes only, BUY THE ALBUM and encourage the music industry to brake historical music peaks.Luys Migeelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06552845706517270773noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8758803225456519068.post-16465545264194759402007-12-14T13:36:00.000-08:002008-12-11T07:10:44.010-08:00Billboard Year-End Charts<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCDLF04WXGrdhXbVLhb124LHNubVyi-t6rJy_ZlSWbA_TS1ap5RPRC5zWcwA_VothpbJVNWlz8vPGOy2OriynMwFZFIF4tPFFEXVWt5DT86TmWHZ62K1EG3Cn7YMuB8P3kNVlfjk0sjg5w/s1600-h/bill.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCDLF04WXGrdhXbVLhb124LHNubVyi-t6rJy_ZlSWbA_TS1ap5RPRC5zWcwA_VothpbJVNWlz8vPGOy2OriynMwFZFIF4tPFFEXVWt5DT86TmWHZ62K1EG3Cn7YMuB8P3kNVlfjk0sjg5w/s400/bill.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5143963601589480978" /></a><br /><br />The nation's most important source of charts, news and other exclusives, "Billboard", has released 2007's year-end charts. No big surprises showed up, as the biggest songs of the year had been playing on Americans' radio stations and people's iPod lists. <br /><br />The Hot 100 song of the year is "Irreplaceable", the world-wide smash hit by Houston star <strong>Beyonce</strong>. Just under that came Rihanna's "Umbrella", tied for most weeks at number 1 this year. Rounding up the top 3 is <strong>Gwen Stefani</strong> whose duet with <strong>Akon</strong>, "The Sweet Escape", which rushed ahead of number 1s "Big Girls Dont Cry", "hey There Delilah", "Buy U A Drank", "Say It Right" and "I Wanna Love U". Akon, the year's most successful male artist manages to place 4 songs in the top 20, while Fergie placed 3. <strong>Soulja Boy</strong>'s internet sensation, "Crank That (Soulja Boy)" only managed to place at number 20. No. 1s "Girlfriend" and "Makes Me Wonder", by Avril lavigne and Maroon 5, respectively, did not place in the top 10.<br />In rap, it was Fabulous's "Makes Me Better" that prevailed, as did Aventura's "Mi Corazonsito" in latin songs; digital songs and pop went to "Big Girls Don't Cry".<br /><br />Album charts this year were rescued by a few successful works, as sales dropped at a staggering level. Daughtry's self-titled debut took the number 1 spot, helped by the band's consistent promotion and the success of its three singles. Akon and Fergie placed 2 and 3, easily the best of the year in terms of sales for albums and singles. Carrie Underwood, Justin Timberlake and Nickelback placed lower than Hanna Montana, while Linkin Park could not match up to High School Musical. Beyonce, Kanye and Gwen filled up the top 15.<br /><br /><strong>TOP 15 Albums</strong><br />1 DAUGHTRY Daughtry RCA/RMG <br />2 KONVICTED Akon Konvict/Upfront/SRC/Universal Motown/UMRG <br />3 THE DUTCHESS Fergie will.i.am/A&M/Interscope/IGA <br />4 HANNAH MONTANA Soundtrack Walt Disney <br />5 SOME HEARTS Carrie Underwood Arista/Arista Nashville/RMG <br />6 ALL THE RIGHT REASONS Nickelback Roadrunner <br />7 FUTURESEX/LOVESOUNDS Justin Timberlake Jive/Zomba <br />8 HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL 2 Soundtrack Walt Disney <br />9 NOW 23 Various Artists Sony BMG Strategic Marketing Group/EMI/Universal/Zomba/Sony Music <br />10 MINUTES TO MIDNIGHT Linkin Park Machine Shop/Warner Bros. <br />11 B'DAY Beyonce Columbia/Sony Music <br />12 GRADUATION Kanye West Roc-A-Fella/Def Jam/IDJMG <br />13 ME AND MY GANG Rascal Flatts Lyric Street/Hollywood <br />14 LOVE The Beatles Apple/Capitol <br />15 THE SWEET ESCAPE Gwen Stefani Interscope<br /><br /><strong>TOP 20 SINGLES</strong><br />1 IRREPLACEABLE Beyonce Columbia <br />2 UMBRELLA Rihanna Featuring Jay-Z SRP/Def Jam/IDJMG <br />3 THE SWEET ESCAPE Gwen Stefani Featuring Akon Interscope <br />4 BIG GIRLS DON'T CRY Fergie will.i.am/A&M/Interscope <br />5 BUY U A DRANK T-Pain Featuring Yung Joc Konvict/Nappy Boy<br />6 BEFORE HE CHEATS Carrie Underwood Arista/Arista Nashville/RMG <br />7 HEY THERE DELILAH Plain White T's Fearless/Hollywood <br />8 I WANNA LOVE YOU Akon Featuring Snoop Dogg Konvict/Upfront/SRC <br />9 SAY IT RIGHT Nelly Furtado Mosley/Geffen <br />10 GLAMOROUS Fergie Featuring Ludacris will.i.am/A&M/Interscope <br />11 DON'T MATTER Akon Konvict/Upfront/SRC/Universal Motown <br />12 GIRLFRIEND Avril Lavigne RCA/RMG <br />13 MAKES ME WONDER Maroon 5 A&M/Octone/Interscope <br />14 PARTY LIKE A ROCKSTAR Shop Boyz OnDeck/Universal Republic <br />15 SMACK THAT Akon Featuring Eminem Konvict/Upfront/SRC/Universal<br />16 THIS IS WHY I'M HOT Mims Capitol <br />17 IT'S NOT OVER Daughtry RCA/RMG <br />18 THE WAY I ARE Timbaland Featuring Keri Hilson Mosley/Interscope <br />19 FERGALICIOUS Fergie will.i.am/A&M/Interscope <br />20 CRANK THAT (SOULJA BOY) Soulja Boy Tell'em ColliPark/Interscope <br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://www.billboard.biz/bbbiz/charts/yearendcharts/index.jsp#">SOURCE</a>Luys Migeelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06552845706517270773noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8758803225456519068.post-71069242732589349692007-12-12T13:23:00.001-08:002007-12-12T13:28:41.358-08:00NEWS: Panic!

More than that, though, he has successfully made the producer-artist crossover, something of difficulty considering the case of Swizz Beats' sad release. <br />Ronson gained much attention after the success of his best creation: Amy Winehouse's <em>Back To Black</em>, "Rehab" probably being one of the biggest British hits in America in recent years. <strong>Version</strong>, his sophomore album, encompasses a list of covers, or, as the track list reads, "Revisited Versions". These revisited versions include Ronson's touch, which include particular attention on the drums and horns, which often, but not always, take attention from the vocals of the featured guest.<br /><br />This mid-2007 release debuted at number 2 in the UK Albums chart, just under Avril Lavigne and has spent 30 weeks in the chart, which usually sees albums slip after a couple of weeks. Disregarding the charts, the album itself is one of 2007's best works. The album begins with an instrumental of Coldplay's "God Put A Smile Upon Your Face" paving the way for the focus on the horns throughout the album. Next in the list are the album's best songs: "<strong>Oh My God</strong>", "Stop Me", "Toxic" and "Valerie". The first of these features fellow-Brit Lilly Allen, whose interpretation of the Kaiser Chief-original brings a light, laid-back tone. "<strong>Valerie</strong>" features non other than Winehouse, who comes back to return the favor. Interestingly, this song would peak higher than any of Winehouse's solo career.<br /><br />"<strong>Stop Me</strong>", the song which received the most attention in the US (due to the appearance on Jimmy Kimmel), is also the album's best track. Everything seems to work on this track: the drums, guitar, bass, horns, etc. It is not a mistery why this would be the first single. Lyrics are a medley of "Stop Me If You Think You've Heard This One Before" by The Smiths and "You Keep Me Hanging On".<br />The other half of the album is put together by a cleverly named trio of interludes:"Inversion", "Diversion" and "Outversion". What's left in between is "Just", a Radiohead cover turned hip hop-rock thanks to the collaboration with Phantom Planet's Alex Greenwald. "The Only One I Know" with Robbie Williams, shows that the flop of "Rudebox" was a mere bump.<br /><br />After a listen to his album, which easily tops Soulja Boy's catchy anthem (I danced it too), it is interesting to see how Ronson's name is practically invisible in any US chart. "Stop Me" which, apart from the UK, also charted in Australia and Italy, did not even touch the Hot 100, merely reaching number 4 in the dance charts. I guess it will be up to sources like <strong>mtvU</strong> (and this blog) to invest time in promoting acts like Ronson, until mainstream music catches on.<br /><br /><strong>Rating:</strong> 9.2 (More covers from Americans would appeal more)<br /><strong>Best:</strong> "Stop Me" ft.

Kanye West leads the pack, with 8 nominations (backed up by the sales success of Graduation). Amy Winehouse, the ''Rehab'' singer, comes in second with 6. Timbo is up for producer of the year, against Mike Elizondo and Mark Ronson.<br /><br /><strong>Some Nominations</strong><br /><em>Record Of The Year</em><br />Irreplaceable, Beyoncé<br />The Pretender, Foo Fighters<br />Umbrella, Rihanna Featuring Jay-Z<br />What Goes Around…Comes Around, Justin Timberlake<br />Rehab, Amy Winehouse<br /><br /><em>Album Of The Year</em><br />Echoes, Silence, Patience & Grace, Foo Fighters<br />These Days, Vince Gill<br />River: The Joni Letters, Herbie Hancock<br />Graduation, Kanye West<br />Back To Black, Amy Winehouse<br /><br /><em>Best Rock Album</em><br />Daughtry, Daughtry<br />Revival, John FogertyEchoes,<br />Silence, Patience & Grace, Foo Fighters<br />Magic, Bruce Springsteen<br />Sky Blue Sky, Wilco<br /><em></em><br /><em>Best Rap Song</em><br />Ayo Technology<br />Big Things Poppin' (Do It)<br />Can't Tell Me Nothing<br />Crank That (Soulja Boy)<br />Good Life<br /><br /><em>Best Female Pop Vocal Performance</em><br />Candyman, Christina Aguilera<br />1234, Feist<br />Big Girls Don't Cry, Fergie<br />Say It Right, Nelly Furtado<br />Rehab, Amy Winehouse<br /><br /><em></em><em>Best Pop Collaboration With Vocals</em><br />Steppin' Out, Tony Bennett & Christina Aguilera<br />Beautiful Liar, Beyoncé & Shakira<br />Gone Gone Gone (Done Moved On), Robert Plant & Alison Krauss<br />The Sweet Escape, Gwen Stefani & Akon<br />Give It To Me, Timbaland Featuring Nelly Furtado & Justin Timberlake<br /><br /><em>Best Rock Performance By A Duo Or Group With Vocals</em><br />It's Not Over, Daughtry<br />Working Class Hero, Green Day<br />If Everyone Cared, Nickelback<br />Instant Karma, U2<br />Icky Thump, The White Stripes<br /><br /><em></em><em>Best Rap Album<br /></em>Finding Forever, Common<br />Kingdom Come, Jay-Z<br />Hip Hop Is Dead, Nas<br />T.I. vs T.I.P., T.I.<br />Graduation, Kanye West<br /><br />For the Full List, Go To:<br /><a href="http://www.grammy.com/Grammy_Awards/50th_show/list.aspx">Grammy Nominations Website</a>Luys Migeelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06552845706517270773noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8758803225456519068.post-14209504867060381062007-12-08T13:50:00.000-08:002007-12-08T13:51:32.163-08:00OpeningHey, wazup to all the music bloggers out there.
