As a gifted singer and a versatile pianist with no formal training, Sara Bareilles burst onto the pop scene with a naturally skilled voice ranging from powerful and soulful to sweet and gentle, earning her instant comparisons to Fiona Apple and Norah Jones. At age 18, she left the Redwood forests of her hometown, Eureka, CA, in pursuit of the big city lights of Los Angeles. Although she attended UCLA’s Communication Studies program, Bareilles spent the majority of her spare time studying her new environment and writing poetry and songs about the busy surroundings. After graduating, she spent the next three years performing those songs at open-mike nights, slowly building her confidence as a musician before playing local venues and festivals. In 2003, she co-produced her first demo, Careful Confessions, and became enthralled with recording techniques. Eager to go back to the studio and create a second full-length album, she started shopping her CD around and signed a deal with Epic… Read More

In 2003, she co-produced her first demo, Careful Confessions, and became enthralled with recording techniques. Eager to go back to the studio and create a second full-length album, she started shopping her CD around and signed a deal with Epic Records in April 2005. Producer Eric Rosse took her under his wing the following February and the two spent a little over a year perfecting the orchestration — nearly half of the songs had formerly appeared on Careful Confessions and a new batch of tracks was carefully constructed in order to make her first major-label release as strong as possible. The lyrical themes of the album, entitled Little Voice and released in July 2007, covered her past relationships, insecurities, and inner battles with trying to trust her instincts.Click Sara Bareilles

Young Miley Cyrus became an overnight sensation in 2006 as the star of the Disney Channel television series Hannah Montana, but fortunately her family has had some experience with that sort of thing — her father, Billy Ray Cyrus, went from obscurity to stardom in a few short months when the song “Achy Breaky Heart” hit the charts in 1992. The success of “Achy Breaky Heart” was hardly the only memorable event for Billy Ray that year — on November 23, 1992, he and his wife welcomed their daughter Destiny Hope Cyrus into the world. Destiny’s cheerful disposition as a child earned her the nickname Smiley, which stuck when it was shortened to Miley. Miley’s career as a professional actress began in 2003, when she appeared in an episode of the television series Doc, which starred her father; the same year, she landed a small role in the Tim Burton film Big Fish. Miley developed an interest in music early on, writing songs and learning to sing while still a preteen,… Read More

The Dark Knight returns to rid Gotham City of villains and to bob on your desk! This surprisingly well-detailed bobble head stands 6-inches tall and is made of resin. He features a true-to-life likeness of Christian Bale as Batman in an intricate black suit and cape atop a Dark Knight base. Order this and you, too, can walk the fine line between hero and vigilante as you purge your home or office of baddies ! The Dark Knight reunites director Christopher Nolan with star Christian Bale, who returns to continue Batman’s war on crime. With the help of Lieutenant Jim Gordon (Gary Oldman) and District Attorney Harvey Dent (Aaron Eckhart), Batman sets out to destroy organized crime in Gotham for good. The triumvirate proves to be effective, but they soon find themselves prey to a rising criminal mastermind known as the Joker (Heath Ledger), who thrusts the city into anarchy and forces the Dark Knight ever closer to crossing that line between hero and vigilante.

Awesome collector’s item!!!
I found this at a retail store for $14.99 which was on sale for $10.99. I was amazed because everyone has jacked up their price of every single piece of Joker merchandise. The action figured are going for $70 or more. That is insane. The Joker costumes are going for hundreds and hundreds of dollars too. Don’t miss out on this cheap collector’s item. I got the Batman one to go with it. DO NOT MISS OUT!

Flo Rida- Mail On Sunday

Flo Rida is so weak. I got this CD for free, from a friend. And obviously they didn’t want it, and gave it to me. I just got done throwing the CD away. It really isn’t great, I’d rather listen to 50 Cent’s “Curtis” CD.

Flo Rida is a terrible rapper! It’s not even funny…it’s annoying! The single “Low,” which only peaked at No. 1 because of T-Pain, was out even when it was in. And “Elevator” is just as lame, but will probably do good on the charts because of Timbaland. But, for sure..the album will not sale!

ITS A COOL SONG AND I LIKE IT. I LIKE HOW ITS SLOW THEN FAST. ITS 1 OF MY FAVRITE SONGS!!!!

Album notes Katy Perry is the late 2000s version of the sassy pop-rocker wielding girl power like an Uzi. Blending elements of Alanis Morrisette, Britney Spears, and Gwen Stefani, Perry’s 2008 debut, ONE OF THE BOYS, bashes metrosexuals (“Ur So Gay”), flaunts lesbian experimentation (“I Kissed a Girl”), and celebrates spontaneous road trips (“Waking Up in Vegas”). Thanks to a cadre of top-shelf producers, including Desmond Child, Dave Stewart, and Glen Ballard (who also produced Morissette), ONE OF THE BOYS glitters like spun cotton candy, but it’s Perry’s bold, topical songs and in-your-face attitude that help the album pack a punch.

Bubblegum hybrid rock
By Mang
It’s no surprise that the ghost of Alannis wanders throughout this album, since Glen Ballard was on production duties. Unfortunately, Perry is no Morrisette. Perry has lots of bark but little bite, and One of the Boys is firmly targeted at the teenage crowd who will probably enjoy it a lot. But for the rest of us, there isn’t much to sink your teeth into.

The beats are catchy, and the choruses will probably stick in your head for a while. But ultimately, it’s the kind of album you may listen to a lot and find stuck in a CD binder years later. You sit there and stare at it for a few moments, wondering if it’s worth another spin. And you usually decide it isn’t.

Personally, I think it’s a little too polished to really rock out, and the lyrics are generally clever posturing instead of having the subversion strongly suggested by getting Madonna’s seal of approval. She has a great, throaty voice that slips easily in and out of falsetto. But the package is over-produced, frankly. This slick, meticulous engineering is constantly at odds with her adventurism, to the point where you wonder how much substance is underneath all the stifling gloss and flourish.

I think she could have a really hot album on her hands — if and when she cuts herself free from the Starmaker Machine. If she stays on this path, she’ll probably make a lot of money from touring and another album or two, and shovel more money into the coffers of people like Ballard. Then her fan base matures and starts listening to other stuff. And unless you’re a Madonna, you’re not going to be able to adapt.

If she could make a real rock album, instead of this bubblegum hybrid, who knows. Sky’s the limit. Joan Jett’s the only one who’s gotten close, and that was a while ago. You don’t have to be another Avril Lavigne. One is more than enough.

Edit: There’s also Sleater-Kinney — I can’t believe I forgot them. Unfortunately, they disbanded a few years ago. But they might actually rock *too* hard for Perry’s liking.
