Pues creo que 2006 ha sido el año en el cual mas música he escuchado y de mejor calidad jaja.
Si tuviera que hacer un top 5, seguramente no pararia de canviar de idea, pero de todas formas lo voy a hacer.
1-RAY OF LIGHT-MADONNA:
Sin ninguna duda de que aunque algunas canciones sobren, es el que mas me ha influido en este año, sobretodo los meses de verano que fue cuando lo descubrí, canciones como frozen te hacen canviar tu punto de vista radicalmente, the power of goodbye me ayudó a ver la idea de que hay cosas a las que mejor decirles adiós y evitar que te perjudiquen, cosa que llegué a comprender e incluso utilizar. swim y nothing really matters daban un mensaje muy positivo, como la capacidad de empezar de 0, dejando todo el pasado atrás y mirar hacia el futuro.
No hace falta decir que las letras de este album son pura poesia. drowned world es la canción mas personal de madonna y con un video perfecto.
Creo sinceramente que se puede aprender mucho mas a través de las letras de este disco que de muchas obras en prosa por ahí sueltas.
2-Stripped:-xtina
El lema de confia en ti y sigue tus propios instintos a machacón, con muy buenas baladas y temas hip-hop como dirrty que muestra su sexualidad al maximo, experimentar y expresarse los propositos que te incita.
3-Like a prayer-madonna:
ya quemé la canción hace años, pero el album en conjunto es aún mejor, ni un solo tema merece ser retirado, madonna experimenta con las letras maduras por primera vez en su carrera y en "express yourself" o "keep it together" nos vuelve a mostrar quien es la reina.
4-Light years-kylie:
Lo conozco desde hace relativamente poco, pero tiene grandes temas, los singles llegaron alto, pero las ventas del disco fueron de _ _ _ _. Por dejarlo claro...
Temas sampleados como "koocachoo" o la immejorable "spinning around" hacen ver un regreso de minogue muy esperado a principios de siglo.
5-Back to basics VS in the zone:
No tengo nada claro a cual de los dos darle el ultimo puesto, el primero solo tiene el temazo "hurt" con letra extasiante.
Y el segundo la balada "everytime".
El fallo está en que el primero aburre tras los primeros 60 minutos y el segundo necesita eliminar alguna que otra canción.
BTB tiene una temática amorosa que a mi me parece demasiado en algunos momentos, y ITZ es mas pop facilón...
Lo decidiré pronto..
Seguimos con este proyecto, que ya en su dia di un adelanto con Did it agaen. Y que ahora va analizar cada una de las 12 canciones de este album exhaustivamente.
El primer post en unas horas
Después de este merecido descando os dejo las últimas novedades del mundo pop internacional, entre ellas una crítica genial a la gira de kylie que es objetiva y muy esclarecedora para los que sigan teniendo dudas sobre acudir o no:
Hey guys,
just thought i'd share my thoughts on My first Showgirl experience at the opening night in Melb!
When i first went to my seat i was in shock at how close i would actually be to Kylie! i couldn't believe it! I just sat there for a while reading my program because i was by myself and had nobody to talk to. The videos they play on the screen before the show are awesome mash ups of videos/songs! They played this awesome mash up of Gwens What U Waiting For and Scissor sisters I Don't Feel Like Dancing and quite strangely alot of other songs that i love eg. Sugababes Easy, Madonna Jump. It was really cool! They also played footage of Kylie doing promo stuff for Darling which was lovely.
Then all of a sudden, they played this song and cranked the volume right up and the whole crowd was standing up! This was before the Overture had even started! It was such a good vibe!
The overture finally kicked in and i was just beside myself! Actually hearing it in person, rather than on the DVD, sent shivers up my spine! I got a little teary when she finally rose up, the crowd just went crazy! She lapped it up for about 3 minutes until the intro to Devil began. When the beat finally kicked in, i was going crazy. Devil is heaps better as the opener in person rather than on the DVD. She didn't sound as nasal last night as she does on the original Showgirl DVD. In your eyes was great but definitely not a highlight. After IYE, there was what she describe as a technical problem so she asked audience members if they had any requests. Somebody asked for Je Ne Sais Pas Pourqoui but she did a verse and chorus of GTBC instead! I wish she did Word Is Out and What Kind Of Fool again haha! The real treat came next with White Diamond, what an amazing song! i love it, so much better in person. The crowds response to this song was great. On A Night Like This was another IYE for me, definitely just a so so number, a performance similar to Body Language Live would've been better imo. Overall the first section for me was fantastic but there was definitely much better things to come. The dancers too, ooh, it was so weird seeing them in person now that i've seen the dvd so many times.
Smiley Kylie was awesome! Loved the new outfit and the dancers looked great! I was going off in this as was everybody else - To me this really got the show kicked off in true Kylie style. I couldn't stop staring at Jasons package in this section when he was waving his legs in the air and doing cart wheely type things! haha, it was really distracting! Ooh and all the little samples throughout the medley sound fab too, especially when actually sings the line 'It's No Secret'!
The next section was definitely a highlight for me, because i didn't really know what was going to happen apart from the songs she was gonna sing. The choreography in this section was simply amazing as was the projections. Confide in Me was fantastic and the cool movement they do was outstanding, everybody around was in shock at how good that actually looks. To be honest though, i can't say i like this musical arrangement as much as the original Showgirl Confide - lacks the emotion of the Showgirl 2005 one in my opinion. Would anyone else agree? Cowboy Style was amazing mixed with Finer Feelings. Too Far!!! WOW!! I love it that she performed this song. Simply breathtaking. Not many people knew the song around me but i was going off, singing it word for word. The chant thing she does was amazing and the projection for Too Far was mind boggling as well. Loved this section. I love that Showgirl was originally a greatest hits too and now it's become this awesome show of your usual hits plus some of the most amazing musical 'non-hit/non-single' moments of her career.
What Kylie Wants, Kylie Gets was amazing too and sooo hot!! I can't decide whether this or the Space section are my faves. Red Blooded Woman was HOT!! and went off. I love it how in the La La breakdown near the end of the song that they incorporated the brilliant Body Language Live choreography into it. That looked amazing and i love it how the boys stayed in their jocks for the whole section! Sooo hot, escpecially Jason. Slow was actually amazing aswell, they tweaked it up and made it 2000 times more exciting that the orginal Showgirl one. The boy dancers were great in this too. The Push up thing that they did on the catwalk was so cool! When i heard that K was doing Kids in place of Please Stay i was a bit confused at how it would fit in. I was surprised though because they actually did a different kind of arrangement and tweaked it up and it was actually really good!! The crowd went off in this and closed the first half of the show perfectly! I'm in love with Kids again now!
In the interval i just sat there waiting! haha, i didn't want to leave my sit, i just wanted it to start!
Somewhere over the Rainbow was magical and again so much better than the original performance! The moon looked amazing floating across the stage. Come Into My WOrld was beautiful and when she sang 'Now I'm Home' the crowd went crazy!! It was a beautiful moment. It was great finally hearing Chocolate live! I loved it but noticed that the second verse has been cut, The best moments were next to come. I believe In You was one of the best moments of the whole show, when the stage rose up i got shivers. Her voice sounded amazing in this and the whole time i was just getting constant shivers. She did the start of Wish upon a star which segued into my favourite Kylie song, Dreams. A true highlight of the show inwhich Kylie seemed to get really emotional. It was beautiful.
The next section was a non stop party! The burning up/vogue intro to this section was so good, it wasn't how i expected it to be at all! It's so good to see her re-visiting all these songs that i never thought she'd care to do again ie. Too Far, Cowboy Style, Dreams, Butterfly, Burning Up! The Locomotion was great and once again, so hot! The two male dancers dancing as a couple was so hot and when they did that kiss thing! I needed to sit down. I Should Be So Lucky was a crowd favourite and the intro with Yazzis Only Way Is Up was perfect! She sang this with a cool looking water bottle in her hand, i'm assuming it was water or pineapple juice anyway. I got shivers when she did that, her voice sounded great. Hand On Your Heart was great too, I love it after all the Whoa's when all the music kicks in - so magical! Kylies outfit and the dancers outfits were great too!
The space section was my other favourite (along with the gym section). Can't Get You Out Of My Head was fun to dance too but nothing really amazing imagery/movement wise. Light Years/Turn It Into Love stole the show for me. I love it how she went with Light years to pretty much nearly close the show. Such a left or centre choice but it was perfect. The way she mixed it with TUrn it Into Love was pure genius. It fitted in so so well. Everything about this was amazing, the choreography, the costumes, the projections and the lights. Probably my favourite Kylie live moment ever!!
The closing of the show was a very emotional time for everybody. Kylie arrived on stage in one of her coolest outfits yet in a very relaxed but excited way. She again thanked the audience from the bottom of her heart and went into Especially For You! I never realised how powerful EFY was! It was a great moment, the whole place singing along. Kylie was loving. After this she continued chatting with us and acknowledging randoms in the audience. she eventually got this little boy and found out his name was Jason. She told him to get up on the stage and she asked him to choose any song and she'd sing it with him. after much discussion, they chose fever! Kylie started singing verse 1 and went into the chorus. Kylie capped it off with a "FEEL THE FEVER'! It was sooo cute. Love At First Sight was awesome! I was really angry when i found out that this song was still closing Showgirl because i thought that the closer needed to be more powerful and show stopping. I was wrong - LAFS went off! It was a perfect song to close the show with. after the song, Kylie again thanked the audience and turned her back to walk off stage. She paused and teased us for a minute and turned around again and lapped up the applause. She thanked us again and did a special thanks to her family and close friends that were at the show. She thanked them from the bottom of her heart and left the stage! There was no Love To You All which was sadly missed by me!
Overall, Kylie was right! Showgirl was a girl and Showgirl Homecoming was definitely a Woman! I loved it, the best Kylie show i've ever been too! Simply breathtaking! Kylie and the gang got everything pretty much right this time around. I was just taken away throughout the whole show.
Bring on the DVD!!! I hope it comes out in Jan!
Speaking of DVD, last night was filmed and tonight is being filmed too! Here's hoping i get on the DVd! Wishful thinking i know!
Kylie minogue y para muchos su retorno a la musica con Spinning around en el año 2000.
Despues de unos viajes de auto-descubrimiento volvió con un album magnifico, llamado light years.
Para mi lo mas europop que ha echo, y marca las bases de Fever que un año mas tarde le proporcionaria la fama mundial que tanto merecia, el primer single fue esta cancion, con un aire dance magnifico y una letra de autorenovación que cautivó a toda europa y australia, recuperó lo que habia perdido en 1990. Reconocimiento profesional total, y un numero 1 en uk y australia a la vez.
Si este album no se hubiera publicado puede que ahora mismo yo no estaria escribiendo esto, porque no sabria que esta chica ni siquiera existe.
El video es muy divertido, os lo dejo a continuación.
Por el aniversario de este magnifico album cada dia os dejare un poco de historia de cada uno de los 5 singles.
Erotica inauguró el catálogo discográfico de Maverick Entertainment, la compañia a la que madonna dió vida en 1992. Es pues el primer single del discutido album homónimo. La publicación del single y el libro Sex casi al mismo tiempo hizo que muchos pensaran que el contenido de el album Erotica fuera una mera colección de canciones-porno. La propia madonna indicño que Erotica era un disco para todos los públicos y Sex un libro sólo para adultos.
Existe una rara version no publicada de Erotica, se trata de la version de madonna junto a Junior Vasquez antes de que decidiera hacer el proyecto de Erotica con Shep Pettibone y Andre Betts. El nombre de esta versión es Love Hurts y es bastante diferente salvo en algunas estrofas, que son las mismas que aparecen en Erotic (version de erotica que viene junto con el libro sex) Erotica continua con el mismo estilo de Justify my love, en las que apennas cantaba y solo se dedicaba a hablar entre susurros y jadeos.
Erotica contiene un par de samples, uno de ellos proviene de una canción arabe del año 1962 compuesta por un grupo llamado Fayrouz titulada El Yom Ollika y trata sobre la crucifixión de Cristo. Por lo visto, fue utilizado sin autorización.
El video fue rodado en Nueva York por Fabie Baron incluyendo imagenes en formato super 8, que le dan un aspecto borroso. En el aparaece madonna en el papel de dita parlo, acompañada de un antifaz y una fusta, rubia, con el pelo corto y una funda dorada en uno de sus dientes.
En el videoclip hacen aparicines gente como Vanilla Ice o Naomi Campbell, ingrid casares y Udo kier (tiene el record de la eprsona que en mas videoclips de madonna ha aparecido).
Muchos se preguntaban si madonna habia ido demasiado lejos con este videoclip, que se habia ido de su trayectoria original, por lo que fue censurado en mtv usa, solo se mostro 3 veces y despues de la media noche, tened en cuenta que fue lanzado en q992.
Existen tres versiones del video, la censurada, la sin censurar y una tercera que continua siendo demasiado explicita para mostrar llamada X-rATED vERSION.
Tiene el trsite record de ser el primer album desde el 83, que no alcanza el numero 1, de todas formas llego al numero 3 en USA y UK, gracias a las millonarias ventas del single, que tuvo que ser adelantado y reeditado, se considera el mayor debut en las listas de radios americanas de toda la historia. Felicidades por esta controvertida canción.
Os dejo la version x-rated porque es extremadamente dificil de encontrar. Solo os aviso que es el video mas explicito de la historia y a madonna se le ve todo y mas, creo que jamás tendrian que haberlo grabado...., juzgad vosotros
Pregunta que hoy tenia en mente..., a la vista de los nuevos discos prefabricados que estan surgiendo (no me refiero a grupos como las pussycat dolls que su talento radica en su fisico y las voces de alguna),me refiero a estrellas de la noche como paris hilton o lindsay lohan, ¿es justo que lleguen a la puerta de los estudios de SONY y paguen 3 millones de dolares para que les hagan una traquiotomia que les deja una voz espectacular dentro de un cd, pero después no pueden ni hacer una presentación en directo sin quedar en ridículo?.
y que a canvio miles de buenos grupos no tengan dinero ni para promocionar una maqueta, supongo que esto siempre existirá pero los resultados son visibles en las ventas, mientras hilton ha caido en picado, lohan ha perdido su contrato con sony. ¿Són estos contratos verdaderamente rentables? para que engañarnos, desde Spears no sale nada prefabricado decente, todas sus copias baratas no llegarán a nada a golpe de talonario, yo sinceramente tengo los discos de ambas descargados y pienso que hasta cierto punto son buenas LETRAS Y RITMOS, pero las voces dejan mucho que desear, sobretodo en el caso de lohan. No se dan cuenta que queremos gente con talento o con la suficiente personalidad como para escribir un tema de temática importante. Os dejo una actuacion de lindsay para que observeis su vox, y de paris no he encontrado nada, por algo será. Pobre lindsay parece que valla a morir por falta de aire
tengo un amigo al que le encanta my chemical romance y siempre me esta hablando de su nuevo cd, yo no he oido casi nada de ellos y kiero saber que os parece a vosotros,
T.A.T.U the best.
Las ex-lesbianas (de momento) tatu, publican su grandes exitos, y la verdad es que nunca habia sentido gran predilección por su música, cuando salieron sus hit singles como all the things she said o all about us me encantaron pero de eso a comprar un cd va mucho.
Con el universo de la musica pirata pues me descargué el grandes exitos y no me ha dejado indiferente.
Polemico video el que os dejo, con escenas que en algunos paises fueron censuradas, pero seguro que si hubeiran sido un tio y una tia no hubiera pasado asñi, pero en fin, las tatu no son un buen ejemplo
