Justin Timberlake: 'Suit and Tie' Review

Justin Timberlake

After seven years of being out in the music scene trying out his other passion like song writing and acting. Also being a co-owner of MySpace. Now, he's back with a bang! The song 'Suit and Tie' is being released as his first single after his hiatus being a singer. The song was first shown as snippet on his website and people got furious and at the same time excitement. As soon as the song was released, many are glued on YouTube to watch his new video.

Okay, i'll go now with my opinion about the song. The song is good as far as beat is concerned. Hearing Justin's voice is a good thing because he stick to his singing style which i liked back in the day (when he was in Nsync). The voice and the beat suits greatly. On the lyrics, i must say there is nothing like an effect to a listener like me, i'm after his voice, if only the lyrics fits the song this must going to be a hit. On the other hand, you can dance to the beat and make smooth moves to it. It got an LSS (last song syndrome) if you will always listen to it. However, it lacks of mainstream effect to some listeners because of the competition now in music.

To end this, the song is good especially if you want to hear a Motown mood with a different twist. i hope that this song will create a buzz like the other songs that he had.

Did I Mention That I Draw Too. . .

My love for drawing started when I always watch anime on television when i was young. I was so mesmerized the way they are drawn like the eyes, the clothes, the hands, everything! but, by that time i still don't have the enthusiasm to draw such because i actually do not know how to draw anime characters. The only thing I can draw are stick drawing or simple trees. I knew for a fact that drawing an anime character is kind of complicated in a way. 

When I got to high school I have a classmate who's really good at drawing (but not anime). I got inspired. So when summer vacation came, I asked my mother if I can enroll to a painting/drawing class and she let me enter. To make the story short, when the summer class ended, i incorporated the things I learned. So, i started to draw different kinds of art.

As for the anime thing, I find it difficult still. Good thing in 2nd Year high school I got two classmates who are really talented in drawing anime (like their own characters). I asked them drawings and keep them, and earn from it. Well now I can draw different anime characters now, even the chibi (cute) ones. Whenever I feel bored, i grab my pencil and sketch pad or any kind of paper and start drawing. 

Yes. I'm going to post some of my boredom drawings even an old one. 

Next, i'm going to post a Kaichou Wa Maid Sama blog entry. So watch this space. ☺

S Club 7: "There Ain't No Party Like an S Club Party!"

S Club 7, one of Britain's best pop group was formed in 1999 which was managed by the former Spice Girls manager Simon Fuller. This band has gained four UK No. 1 singles, four successful studio albums, a top-ten single in the United States and made a name all over the world.

They are a really great band. A role model for all ages. They know how to make their fans happy by the way they perform. They inspire people through their songs. They've got funny antics and they do have a nice chemistry :) If only I could have a musical group like theirs, hahaha. I dreamed of having a singing group way back in high school which is obvious why i'm passionate about music

I always listen to their songs from the time i liked them till now that they are disbanded. I used to watch their shows on ,from Miami 7, LA 7, Hollywood, and Viva S Club (though now i still watch their series on YouTube). Paul Cattermole was the first one who left the band in 2002 which made S Club 7 be named as S Club, and in 2003 S Club disbanded.

HIT SONGS: Bring It All Back, You’re My Number One, S Club Party, Two In A Million, Reach, Natural, Never Had A Dream Come True, Don’t Stop Movin’, Show Me Your Colours, You, Have You Ever, Alive, Love Ain't Gonna Wait For You, Say Goodbye.

Why I am Passionate About Music

Music is all about memories, vibe, happiness, pain, and all sorts of feelings that you can express through it. Music is also my way of escaping the reality and go to world with full of jam-packed feel good rhythm that i can deal with. I'm really into it, to be honest. There is no day that i skip listening to music because i feel like if i can't listen to even one music in a day, I feel so grumpy and not myself. Music makes me feels good in a sense that i can incorporate my day to day life in every song that i listen to. I love music so much and there are a lot of things why i like it and its because of the musicians that i listen to when i was young until now.






The Backstreet Boys. 


(L-R: Brian Littrell, Nick Carter, Kevin Richardson, Howie Dorough, AJ McLean)



They were the first boy band that i literally can't get over because they were the ones who made me realize that i love music and sing too. I can barely remember that almost everyday I play their album and sing along with it and almost memorize every lyric of their songs. I must admit that until now, i really admire them and the music that they make.

Nsync


(L-R: Chris Kirkpatrick, JC Chasez, Joey Fatone, Justin Timberlake, Lance Bass)

This boy band has the biggest influence in my life. My pre-teen years was amazing because of them. I learned how to dance a lot because of their music videos and stuffs. Almost everyday, I buy posters of them and put those on my bedroom wall, play their album everyday, watch MTV if their on TRL (Total Request Live). As usual, I almost memorize all their songs from their first album to their last (I don't know if that's their last album. I want an Nsync reunion, lol). Until now, i still listen to their songs and it makes remember the days when they are still in the music scene.

So yes, music is part of my life and it will always be an amazing way of expressing emotions and reminisce with everything that you can think of whenever you hear music.
