President Obama Sings The Blues…

Feb 22, 2012 | By:

After giving us a taste of Al Green’s “Let’s Stay Together”, our President is at it again…

Washington Post reports:

Guy, B.B. King, Mick Jagger and Jeff Beck were among the blues-rock royals assembled to perform at 1600 Pennsylvania on Tuesday night — an evening that ended with a singing performance from President Obama himself.

President Obama sang along as Glary Clark Jr. performed “Catfish Blues” at the White House on Tuesday night.

It was the latest in a series of semi-regular concerts hosted by first lady Michelle Obama celebrating the American songbook.

Previous performances in the series have saluted the music of the civil rights era, Motown and Broadway, as well as jazz, country (twice), classical and Latin music. Now, to mark Black History Month, the Obamas honored the blues, arguably the most influential of any American musical genre.

“This music speaks to something universal,” the president said before introducing King. “No one goes through life without both joy and pain, triumph and sorrow. The blues gets all of that.”

First Oprah, Now Diddy & Magic Johnson Launching New Cable Networks…

Feb 22, 2012 | By:

Diddy announced his plans for a music-oriented cable channel called Revolt. The channel may start by the end of the year.

Revolt is a music and news television channel influenced by the nonstop chatter of social networking Web sites…“designed to have programming inspired by music and pop culture, including music videos, live performance, music news and interviews.” The network will “incorporate social media interaction for music artists and fans,” Comcast said. Diddy is partnering with MTV veteran Andy Schuon. It is the latest of several challenges to MTV and BET, both owned by Viacom.

Comcast, the nation’s largest cable television provider, will carry Revolt on some of its local cable systems, although the total number of homes is unclear.

Mr. Combs’s plans for Revolt were first reported by Broadcasting & Cable magazine last month. When interviewed by a reporter for MTV recently, Mr. Combs said little about the proposed channel, except that “we’re coming with a new energy, we’re coming with something that people are going to want to tune in to see.” Mr. Combs praised MTV and BET for “paving the way” and making him a global star.

Sneak Peek Of “Basketball Wives” Miami, Season 4, Premiering Tonight…

Feb 20, 2012 | By:

I’ve been a bit scarce with posting about these reality shows. Only because I’m so over it, and I’m no longer moved by the same ole, same ole scripted, ignorant, childish bulls#!t. Even Wendy Williams talked about it on her show a few days ago, and how she was over grown women acting like they’re in High School, fighting and what not.

But, whatever, the madness continues 8pm tonight on VH1…

Sneak Peek of tonight’s episode: Wait, there’s more…

Bobby Brown & His Son Bobby Jr. Release Statements…

Feb 20, 2012 | By:

As we all heard this past weekend, the unfortunate events that took place with Bobby Brown and his children at Whitney’s Homegoing. A lot of people are #TeamBobbyBrown, and all feel he is being treated unfairly.

Reverend Al Sharpton tweeted about it:

I am at Whitney’s funeral. I spoke with Bobby Brown trying to calm him down and not distract from the services. Today is about Whitney!

We are out of the service. I don’t want anyone distorting Bobby Brown. He has shown love and respect today. Stop hatin’

 

 

I do feel it’s unfortunate IF the family is acting on their personal feelings about Bobby, instead of what Whitney would’ve wanted, as she did share over a decade with Bobby Brown and shares a child with him. Also, ultimately, it should always be about what’s best and what Bobbi Kristina needs.

What puzzles me, Bobbi Kristina is 18 years old, old enough to express what she wants and whether she wants her dad and her siblings there. Let’s keep that in mind when we look at a situation like this. It may not be all because of the Houston family. And NONE OF US know what the relationship is between Bobby and Bobbi Kris or Bobbi Kris and her siblings.

DNA doesn’t give you an automatic pass into someone’s life, especially if that DNA wasn’t important enough for you to choose to be an essential part of that person’s life. Pics in the media don’t document everything.

I do pray for Bobby Brown, as I know he’s grieving for his ex-wife, and I also pray for Bobbi Kris and the Houston family…that they’re all allowed to grieve for Whitney, respectfully.

I’m very disappointed in those media outlets who referred to Bobby’s children as an ‘entourage’ when the reports first hit the net. That’s disrespectful. Children are not an ‘entourage.’

See Bobby’s statement as to what happened during the funeral: Wait, there’s more…
