Paradise!

So I decided to create a music video containing various images of beaches, sunrises, sunsets and I even incorporated some personal images from when my friends and I went to the beach. The images are accompanied by a song called "Music of the Sun" which is by Rihanna. The theme of my blog is obviously based on music and so I wanted to fuse my two loves together. As you can see from my profile page I have a beach image in my profile picture. I'm extremely passionate about the tranquality and the serenity of the beach. I simply cannot get enough of it. My perfect "city" would be an Aquacity hence the title of my blog homepage. Everyone no matter where they are living needs to experience the beauty of the ocean....the aqua waters. Enjoy and don't forget to dance to the music of the sun.

The Life of an entertainer



Have you ever imagined what it might feel like to be an entertainer? To be away from your family and friends? To constantly travel from city to city performing for the crowds, pleasing the people? Goodness, no wonder Britney Spears is in rehab. No wonder many entertainers resort to drugs and alcohol. I personally don' feel like I could stand the pressure myself. The exhausation, the speculation, the extreme lifestyle associated by being an entertainer would probably break me down. There are a few songs that I feel convey the lifestyle of an entertainer, which are associated by distance, rumors and the celebration of fame itself.

I really enjoy Michael Buble's new song Home because it gives the listener insight on what its like to be an entertainer and to be away from your home, family and your friends. I mean..consider having a long lasting marriage and being an entertainer? Is the constant demand of work and travel the reason why many people in Hollywood dont have lasting relationships? Who knows. But this song is a great one. Its very passionate and very emotional.


Another song that helps to depict the lifestyle of an entertainer is Lindsey Lohan's song Rumors. It's unfortunate that the celebrity world is based on a lot of rumors and speculation but when you are in the media's eye, anything can be said about you.


On the flip side of things, the life of an entertainer is in many ways I'm sure very glamorous, exciting and rewarding. As we have seen on American Idol or The Search for the Next Doll, the new reality show featuring the Pussy Cat Dolls as well as other shows, we as viewers are in awe of the possibilites of being that ultimate winner. Kelly Clarkson sings passionately in the song A Moment Like This as she shows us her excitement about becoming the winner of American Idol. Despite the potential scandal that she may endure, despite the distance between family and friends, she knows that fame will forever change her life.
