Category:Music
Genre: Pop
Artist:Jonas Brothers
History teaches us not to dismiss kiddie pop. Stevie Wonder was once Little Stevie Wonder, just as Lil Wayne was once little Lil Wayne, child gangsta rapper. And let's not forget ex-Mouseketeers Britney and Justin. Purists disdain teenybopper music as cynical pap, foisted on the young by Svengalis who lurk in the shadows, counting money. But bubblegum can be a great farm system, honing skills that pay dividends in later life.

Lately, Disney's kiddie pop has been plenty profitable, with High School Musical and Hannah Montana seemingly the only bulwarks against the collapse of the record business. Unlike Britney and her cohorts in the Nineties teen-pop boom, Disney's current stars are G-rated, easing tweeners' transition to adolescence with music that replicates the sounds of the Top 40 while leaving out the sex and complicated emotions. That's the case with Camp Rock, whose soundtrack offers vanilla takes on "Since U Been Gone"-style rock ("Our Time Is Here") and dance pop ("Hasta la Vista"). But the many self-esteem anthems ("Here I Am," "This Is Me," etc.) grade into narcissism — are they really instilling the right values? The bright spots here are Joe Jonas, who delivers pathos on the power ballad "Gotta Find You," and Disney's new ingénue, Demi Lovato, who bears down with a ferocity that suggests, when her inevitable solo album comes out, things could get interesting.

Vanessa Hudgens knows the rocky passage to adult celebrity. The High School Musical star is a tabloid fixture, thanks to viral photos of her sans schoolgirl togs. But on Identified, Hudgens hews to the Disney content code, only occasionally tiptoeing into double-entendre. Hudgens can't really sing, so her producers handle the heavy lifting. Several songs are helmed by pop wizard Dr. Luke — his lovely ballad "Don't Ask Why" is filled with heart-tugging melodic twists — while Hudgens submits to digital doctoring. "Party on the Moon" sets her tiny voice against a baroque swirl of effects. She sounds like a little girl who took a wrong turn and ended up in T-Pain's fun house.

Miley Cyrus is more self-possessed. With Breakout, Disney's queen bee finally has a sophisticated pop record under her own name, and she's venting the frustrations of a teen who's too grown-up to submit to her parents, teachers or anyone else. On the title track, co-written by Go-Go's drummer Gina Schock, she bellows that she's "tired of bein' told what to do." Cyrus, who co-wrote most of these songs, has co-opted Avril Lavigne's pop punk and sweet sneer. (The environmentalist anthem "Wake Up, America" finds Cyrus wagging her finger at the whole damn country.) But the songs feel genuine: What 15-year-old doesn't have a list of "seven things I hate about you," as Cyrus does? She's acting her age.

The Jonas Brothers are acting their dad's age. The boys' fantastic third album is steeped in the fuzzed-up guitars, three-part harmonies and cotton-candy choruses of Big Star and Cheap Trick. Power-pop die-hards awaiting the genre's commercial saviors must reckon with the fact that the messiahs have arrived . . . and they're a Disney boy band. On A Little Bit Longer, the trio dabble in R&B ("Burnin' Up") and balladeer-ing (the terrific "Love Bug"), but mostly stick to up tempo rave-ups with ripping guitar solos and yelps of "yeah-aw." The Jonas' co-wrote every song, and they take advantage of their autonomy, wandering off the Disney reservation in "Video Girl," a rant about wanna-be starlets ("They all want the money/They're all insane"). Overall, it's a blast — as assured as any American rock album released in 2008. Kids, are you ready to share your Jonas CD with the 'rents?

Blog EntryBeing An Associate Editor.Jan 15, '08 5:32 AM
for everyone

Our project for our english subject for this grading was to write articles together with your groups and come up of a magazine. It's really hard to write things and research things for this project because you have to be very careful and skeptic of what article you are to write. As for me being an associate editor, i complain something. Why is that my job becomes what the EIC and Lay-out Artist should be doing. Yes, I consider and appreciate her for giving me her trust in editing and re.writing and illustrating the articles but shouldn't we help each other? Isn't that why we have groupings? For us to help and lend a hand to each other? I'm good in english, yes, but im not that fluent. I'm good in drawing, yes, but I'm not that creative. I just hope our group can do this. I really pray for it. Godbless.

I just read the second time this book called "The Secret" by Rhond Byrne. It talks all about how you can be, do, and have everything you want. The Secret talks about one of the most powerful law of nature: The Law Of Attraction .. In which it states that just through thinking, you create something. And to achieve this process, there are simple requirements such as to feel good 100% and gratify all the things and people around you and etc. it also states that feeling happy or any positive feeling is twice greater and stronger than a negative feeling such as depression, frustration and etc. The Law of attraction was used by some of the Greatest Minds in History such as Plato, Shakespeare, Newton, Hugo, Beethoven, Einstein, Churchill, and Luther King .. they knew this all along .. they don't know how it happens, but they do know it works .. The book states that nothing is impossible to happen through faith. It does not talk about any religion specifically but it tells that there is always something bigger than us that can provide us eveything. As for me, I believe this book but I prefer to look at this book as a Christian and I have proven it to myself that If we only believe in God without any doubts, everything is possible in whatever aspect of your life. Remember: To think is to Create. Godbless guys! thanks for reading my blog!

This movie is silmilar to Resident Evil plus I. Robot. The thing is, the leading character is a guy. hehe. Anyway, the movie will start with an interview with a doctor that explains of a cure for cancer and that presently, it's now injected in the patients. Unfortunately, the cure became a more malevolent and contagious changing the humans into monsters that eats flesh and is scared of sunlight (well, it's because their skin became very delicate). Until three years later, after the virus spread throughout the lands, a few people was naturally immune to this sickness. And one of those few I metioned is Will Smith. He was a doctor left alone in the streets of new york that dedicated his life to solve and find a possible cure for the virus. Eventually, the story will end ... I don't want to be a spoiler. hahahahaha! It's up to you if you want to know how the story will end.

But sorry to say .. better keep it myself.

Blog EntryAmiel's Original PoemDec 23, '07 4:13 AM
for everyone

Guys I made an on-the-spot poem here
ok ?? trust me .. hehe

Here It Goes:

"Friends Forever?"

You and I have met
In a very nice situation
We became instant friends
Without any hesitation.

We cherish our friendship
Everytime we meet
We love to tak and walk with each other
And even we have the same food to eat.

Times have passed
And nothing has changed
We did the same things
Until I said to myself..

"I love you,
That's what I feel"
That's what you didn't heard
But I know this is real.

After that,
A great change happened to me
I tried to tell you what i feel
But then you ignored me.

I became consistent
of what I've been feeling
This is not easy for me
And you don't even come when I am
heeding.

It's like whispering to the ears
Of the wind which is not even visible
Compared to you that i see
But to talk personally i am not able.

I thought we were friends
All this time, All these years
But why are you so rude and blind
Is this because you're just fond of me?

I tried to give
My everyday to you
And in return and exchange
This is what you're going to do?

You didn't even realize
That I called your name
I thought this was a fantasy in reality
But you thought it's a game.

Until now
I try to tell you
I try to fill the empty space
A gap that's between me and you.

But this time
I'll try to ask you
Do you also feel the same
That's why this is what you do ??



this is for the people who
tries to love someone, a friend, but
then they won't make any appreciation
in you ..

Give your comments if you like ..

Hope You Like it!

TakeCare and Godbless!

Happy Christmas and a Blessed New Year

Try watching this hilarious movie of Drew Barrymoore(E.T., Charlie's Angels). In this story she is a newswriter who was assigned to undercover a High School life and excerpt a great story from it. In the end, the story that should be excerpted came from her own. It is really funny but touching though. Just watched it a while ago in Star Movies.

Have you tried to experience casting magic? well not as in to curse someone. Hmm, how about you be in a world with unusual creatures and friends(including the enemies). Definitely awesome. Hehe, if you asked me, I haven't but if you try to play this game espacially if you're an HP fan, you're going to be totally hooked. Haha.. The fun thing about here is that you should have the socalled common sense to be attached with the game., because if not, you wouldn't enjoy it. Have Fun!


VideoBlind dating, Movie trailerAug 7, '07 1:37 AM
for everyone
A hilarious comedy about Danny (Chris Pine, Princess Diaries 2), an intelligent, confident, handsome young man who also happens to be blind. Not that he's letting that hold him back — for the most part, Danny refuses to let his visual impairment get in the way of anything. Which is why Danny's girl-crazy, limo-driving brother Larry (Eddie Kaye Thomas, AMERICAN PIE) is horrified to discover that Danny is not only shy and nervous when it comes to the opposite sex, he's also a virgin.
