Here and There #4

 



         There is so  much news that is out there. Backstreet Boys will have there 20th anniversary and it will be a great one. They will also be releasing a new album this year and then they will also get their name on the Hollywood walk of fame. Backstreet Boys aren't slowing down. There is also news about Backstreet Boys in production for a documentary.

Here is what Ew.com said about it:

“This is an incredible opportunity to make a film no one would expect The Backstreet Boys to make. What drew me to this project is their openness and willingness to push themselves into uncomfortable places, to be vulnerable and honest and to be really trusting of the filmmaking team to steer them in the right direction. This isn’t some 3-D Boy Band puff piece – BSB is getting real and it has been exciting to work with them as they explore their past and start to look towards their futures. They’re grown men in a boy-band. They are wrestling with the big questions in their lives and their careers. And they are just really fascinating guys,” Kijak said in a press release.

This comes from Rollingstones.com:


Kijak, who hopes to complete the documentary by this fall, said members of the band have been enthusiastic about the project. "What drew me to this project is their openness and willingness to push themselves into uncomfortable places, to be vulnerable and honest and to be really trusting of the filmmaking team to steer them in the right direction," he said, promising the project won't just be a "3D boy-band puff piece."

Kelly Clarkson won for Best Pop Vocal album at the Grammys. She was also being funny in her acceptance speech. Later in the show she performed. Here is part of what she said:

This comes from MTV.com



"I didn't know I was going to win 'cause I literally, I was so excited to be in a category with Fun. I have been covering you all summer. I'm sorry, I love that song. I think it's so awesome. I love Pink. Everyone — Adele — that I was in a category with. Miguel, I don't know who the hell you are, but we need to sing together. I mean, good god, that was the sexiest damn thing I've ever seen. What? Anyway, thank you so much, friends, family, label, my manager, Narvel [Blackstock, Brandon's father and Kelly's manager], my fiancé, who is sexy tonight. I did not think I was going to win. Thank you!"

Tv World #2 American Idol

            This week on American Idol was a wild ride. Some people made it through and a lot of people went home. My favorites are saved at least for now. One of my favorites went home and that is Nate Tao. He was and is a great singer. I am sad to see him go home but I hope that he can come back. Two of my favorites that are safe are Johnny Keyser and Lazaro Arbos. Next week we get to know which twenty guys make it through and which eight get to go home. This year they are going to the top 40 very quick. Will Lazaro and Johnny make it through and be in the top 40??? I sure hope so.

This week Lazaro sung Angels and I thought he did such and amazing job. He is a shinning star. Here is an article about this amazing Lazaro Arbos:

This comes from the Examiner.com
Lazaro Arbos overcame a struggle during the first two rounds of Hollywood week on "American Idol" Wednesday.
Working through nervous energy and difficulty with stuttering, Arbos overcame the first round with a strong performance of "Angels" by Robbie Williams.
"It is extraordinary how when you start singing, it's so clear and full and beautiful," said an impressed Keith Urban. "You just simply must go on. You're going through."
In a new twist, Arbos was then asked to join a group with Josh Stephens, Scott Fleenor, and Christian Lopez, instead of selecting his own group.

Here is Lazaro Singing Angels:

Here is Lazaro singing in the group arounds:


Now on to Johnny Keyser. Johnny Keyser made it through to the Vegas round last year but this year he is sticking through hoping to make it to the top 40. Johnny was hardly shown on tv so far. His performance wasn't shown but he sung for group around and forgot the words to the song.

The person we get to say goodbye to is Nate Tao. He is an American sign language interpreter. His parents are both deaf.

This comes from reston.patch.com

The end of the line on Fox's American Idol came Thursday night for Reston's Nate Tao.
Tao, whose solo week performance was not shown on Thursday's show, was not chosen by judges to advance closer to the Top 20 that will sing live on the show.
They did air Tao's reaction, though.
"It's not the end of the world, but it sucks," Tao said on the broadcast.
Reston Patch spoke with Tao earlier on Thursday. Here's more info on him and his happy memories of performing at Herndon High School: 
Reston's Nate Tao has heard from dozens of old Northern Virginia friends the last week - ever since he made it to Hollywood Week on American Idol 
Idol-watchers will learn Thursday night whether Tao, a 2006 graduate of Herndon High, will advance to the Top 20 and a spot on the live portion of the show.
Even if the road ends for Tao, 24, in Hollywood Week, Tao (who of course can't talk about upcoming results) says it has been an amazing time.

Tv World #1 Switched At Birth

 

 

TV World is a new thing that will feature TV shows. I will talk about all of the shows that are out there. I am happy to announce that this is the first TV World and the feature story is Switched At Birth.

 

Last night episode of Switched At Birth "The Acquired Inability to Escape"

 

The Episode was about Bay and her school not having enough money to have a drama club so it was going to close except Katherine volunteer to be the new director for the school's play. At first Bay doesn't like having her around but then once Bay learns that she hurt her mom's feelings she changes her mind about her being at school. Daphne gets robbed and knocked down while being in the part with her food truck. She got robbed because two kids thought it was fun to fool the deaf kids.

Here are some articles about SAB:

 

This from Buddy TV

 

ABC Family's hit show, Switched at Birth continues on Monday, February 11, with an episode called "Human/Need/Desire." During a set visit last month as part of TCA 2013, BuddyTV caught up with Gilles Marini and Constance Marie, who play Angelo and Regina on the show, as they talked about learning sign language and the possibility of more passion between their characters. 

 

The impact of the show on the sign language community

Asked about what affects they've personally observed in regards to the show's impact on the sign language community, Marie said, "Through the success of the show, a lot of students have told me that they have petitioned their high schools to have ASL as a second language. A lot of people have decided to become interpreters and take it in school and that's just because of a show. That's amazing to me."

Marini added, "It's been quite a bit of a revelation for me. [While] walking on the streets and I have had so many people from so many different countries [come up to me], because there is no show really around the world where the deaf community is a part of it. Once two girls from Spain came up to me and they said 'thank you' (signs the phrase), and I know [the sign for] 'thank you.' They were actually bi-lingual because the sign in Spanish isn't the same. So it was incredible to see that. They were like 'you don't understand what you do for us.' "

American Idol

  This year is still great idol. I thought that last year was better. I do not like the judges. I am only watching idol for the contestants. There were two contestants the stood out for me already. One is season's 11 Johnny Keyser who has released an EP since last year and who has landed on the billboard charts before the season 11 was even over.
            Next was this guy named Lazaro Arbos who started to stutter when he was 6 years old. He is now 21 years old. It is amazing when he sings because he doesn't stutter and he has a tenor voice. Everyone will be rooting for him. Usually I never pick the winners this early in the competition but I already have my winners. Plus the auditions aren't even over lol. I think that Johnny Keyser and Lazaro Arbos should make it to the finally and I know that is way too soon to tell but I believe in them so much.

Here is videos from Johnny Keyser:

New music from Kris Allen

     This is Kris Allen's Third studio album. His first album wasn't really a studio album but it still counts as a studio album. It has been a long time since we have heard new music from the season 8 winner of American Idol. He released his first debut album in 2009. His single Live like We're Dying became Platinum in the U.S. This album Thank You Camellia is like his debut album but just better. It was released on May 22, 2012. Here are the songs that I like in order. 

1. Vision of Love 

2. Blindfolded

3. Monster

4. The Weakness

5. Loves Me Not

6. Better With You

7. Rooftops

8. Out Alive

9. Leave You Alone

10. You Got A Way

11. Teach me How Love Goes

   Kris wrote all of his songs on this album. The first time I listened to it I thought it was different then I just wanted to listen to the songs over and over. This album only has 11 songs but you will get hooked on his songs. This album is amazing and I give it 4 stars and a A+. His song vision of love he performed it on American Idol.

Here and There #3

KELLY CLARKSON 

Kelly Clarkson's new album Stronger comes out October 24 and she talked with MTV and here is a little video of what Kelly had to say about her album 

Here is what Kelly had to say: 

"Oh yeah, there's a little bit of dance," Clarkson continued. "One of the songs, it's probably gonna be a single, 'What Doesn't Kill You,' it's a great song and definitely ... that's the one everybody will be jumping up and down to."

That combination of soul, rock, pop and dance is apparent in the album's lead single, the ultimate tell-off anthem "Mr. Know It All." But what are Clarkson's other top picks from the LP?

" 'You Love Me' is probably one of my favorites," Clarkson said. " 'Honestly' is another one. 'What Doesn't Kill You,' I can't wait to perform that live. We've already rehearsed it and it's so much fun. It's like this big dance anthem. That'll be the one [that's] kinda like 'Since U Been Gone,' [with] people jumping up and down to [it], and it's just kind of really inspiring, so I can't wait to perform that one."

Despite Kelly having a new album coming out she also has other things on her mind. Kelly reveals that she has 50 animals she takes care for.

 

KELLY Clarkson owns 50 animals.

The Because of You hitmaker admits her home has become like a “rescue ranch” as she is so willing to take in sick and abandoned creatures.

“It’s like a rescue ranch now,” she said.

“We have 30 dogs, 14 horses. We still only have three ponies and four minis, but we have goats now, two pigs we rescued called Miss Daisy and Boss Hog, I gave those to my brother.”

While Kelly loves getting new animals, she insists there are some creatures she wouldn’t take in because they are just too big.

“There are elephant sanctuaries about one mile from where we are — which in Texas isn’t that far because we’re all spread out — and people have asked would I ever take in something that big,” she added

DEMI LOVATO

Demi released Unbroken September 20, 2011 and I hear she is being compared to Kelly Clarkson but not as strong as Kelly. Here is about Unbroken from my.hsj.org a site about teenagers  

       When celebrities go to treatment centers, they tend to hide the facts from fans and media alike. Demi Lovato takes a different route; she openly speaks about her problems. Demi speaks – or rather, sings – about her experiences in her new album “Unbroken”, out September 20. From songs about family issues and self-harm to tracks about dancing the problems away, Lovato’s new album has a track that everyone can relate to.

Some of Lovato’s best tracks off the album are her ballads. “For The Love of a Daughter” is a ballad about Demi’s relationship with her father. A biographical song, Demi hauntingly sings about the pain she’s felt with her father. The song – which was shelved from her sophomore album "Here We Go Again" – talks about mature issues like drinking and fighting. She ends up saying “it’s hopeless” because he pushed her out of his world. This trend continues with “Fix a Heart”, a song where Lovato talks about her own life, making references to cutting (“I ended up with wounds to bind...and I just ran out of band aids”) and how she will never be completely "fixed". The pain behind the vocals is evident, making it one of the most vulnerable songs on the album. To read More Click Here
