Lady GaGa & Beyonce New Music Video Is Banned


The most discussed singer of the last years is none other than Lady GaGa. She knows how to shock the audience with her extravagant outfits, eccentric songs and impressive music video clips. The latest fruit of the eccentric singer is “Telephone” performed together with Beyonce.

The “Telephone” was directed by Jonas Akerlund. Lady GaGa has already worked with him on the video for “Paparazzi”. The clip is a mixture of stunning actions: girl fights, GaGa goodness, poisoned food, and so on and so forth. In fact this story goes about Lady GaGa’s arrest and imprisonment, which end up by a prison break of the singer. Then appears Beyonce who helps her to make revenge. You can watch the video “Telephone” right now and right here. Enjoy it!

The video, made in Tarantino style, appeared to be so impressive that even such modern TV channels as MTG refused to broadcast it. I wonder that Britain rejected to broadcast the video on TV. They say that it is due to obscenity in the video. At the same time, such a reaction does not prevent the music video clip to beat all records and surpass all expectations.
“Telephone” video is full of extravagant constructions and make-ups, architectural sunglasses and outfits, unusual approach and the video in general. But that is what we tend to think about when we see Lady GaGa. Suffice it to mention this year’s Grammy Awards. No doubt, the singer is the brightest godsend for show business of these days.
But we perfectly know, if the thing is banned, it becomes desirable. And the video ban is not an exception. In the result within the first 24 hours the clip appeared on the Internet, several million people watched it. I would say, it is impossible to stop popularity and public opinion.

Actually, I love making out Top lists such as Top 10 Irritating Commercial Videos or Top 10 Sports Movies Ever. Today I have Top 5 Celebrity Appearances in Music Video Clips. Here we go.
•    Let’s start from a world known band “Fatboy Slim”. One of their best music videos s by right considered “Weapon of Choice”. In the video stars Christopher Walken. Genius collaboration, I would say.
•    The next singer to remember is Michael Jackson. As far as I know, the singer himself directed the video to “Remember the Time” song. The budget of the clip impresses the imagination, still more impressive seems that three celebrities at a time stared in it. Thanks to Eddie Murphy, Magic Johnson, Iman, and, of course, Michael Jackson, for a gorgeous video.
•    Another star heavy music video clip presented Jamie Foxx. His “Blame it on the Alcohol” video gathered together Samual L. Jackson, Jake Gyllenhaal, Forest Whitaker, and Ron Howard.

Among his stars there were Elizabeth Taylor, Mandy Moore, Justin Timberlake. The most populat video from this album appeared to be “I Want Love” with Robert Downey Jr. in the post rehab period.

YouTube Video: Invisible Man Mystery


I suggest that we step aside from nature topic with Dangerous & Charming: Video of Venus Flytrap. Now I would prefer to discuss and watch something more romantic and classic. Surfing the Internet, I came across a good video of The Invisible Man. So that is what I offer to watch now.

You know, The Invisible Man is not only a science fiction novella written by H. G. Wells and filmed later on. If you type in the words in Google searching line, you will find a dozen of Invisible Man titles. Let’s take, for example, a British and U.S. television series that are both based on the original story. Even an animated television series named The Invisible Man appeared. The only thing is indubitable, the plot of the story has become one of the most popular of all times. Taking into consideration that the story was written as early as 1897, it seems surprising and amazing that the story about an invisible man lives till these days. I think that an incredible success of The Invisible Man is hidden in its plot that reveals an unusual man with dramatic yet charming life story. What is more, it is based on the mystery, which has always driven a lot of attention.

By the way, not only filmmaking industry was attracted by The Invisible Man. Several pop and rock bands performed songs under this title. Among these bands there is, for example, Queen, 98 degrees, Theory of a Deadman. In the last century another two novels with The Invisible Man title were published – a novel by Ralph Ellison and a novel by Geza Gardonyi. I wonder if the story of an invisible man still inspires novelists, filmmakers and singers. I suppose we will see it in the future. And now let’s enjoy what we already have.

Praise You in the Storm Oficial Video


I suggest that we continue health topic passing from physical perfection of Svaroopa Yoga Video to spiritual influence of music. It is common knowledge that every music style is different and unique, and each one has its multiple followers. We have got used to following the news of rock, hip hop or pop music, meanwhile other music styles are often left without proper attention. So today I would like to find some time for one of the most successful Christian bands employing soft rock style. I am talking about Casting Crowns and enjoy some video clips.

The history of Casting Crowns started in the year 1999 when Mark Hall created the project. And beginning from then the band’s popularity has been growing. Now they are owners of a Dove Award and a Grammy Award, which means that Casting Crowns’ work is necessary for lots of people. Their each song is worth mentioning. But it is impossible to do in a short period of time so I offer to watch and to listen to Praise You in the Storm video clip.

Casting Crowns has a rich discography, starting from the year 2001 they have released a new disc every year. Meanwhile, the band’s leader Mark Hall has written two books Lifestories and Your Own Jesus. A very fruitful career, I would say.

By the way, Billboard Magazine announced Casting Crowns the best selling music band performing Christian music. According to such success, the style is flourishing and has every chance to become even more popular in course of time. And one more time it is up to us to make a choice. It depends on what do we listen to music for? What does it give us? There are a lot of questions to answer, and many people believe that spiritual music can give a response.

Jeff Baxter Video - Guitar vs Politics


Let’s put aside risky and dangerous moments enjoyed with Megawoosh Video: Fake or Truth and talk about more pleasant and relaxing things. What about guitar, for example? You know exploring YouTube I came across multiple guitar lessons from Jeff Baxter. That made me remember about magnificent and fascinating sounding of this instrument. Unfortunately, I never managed to learn playing the guitar, but I feel so inspired when I listen to his excellent guitar performance.

Just some additional information: Jeff Baxter is a famous American guitarist. The most renowned moments in his career were in 1970s when he used to play in The Doobie Brothers and Steely Dan rock bands. By the way, Jeff has a funny nickname of “Skunk”. Origin of the nickname is not known, and Jeff prefers not to talk about it.

But the most surprising fact is that Jeff chairs Congressional Advisory Board on missile defence and has been working recently as a defence consultant. To tell the truth, I have always imagined rock musicians being rather peculiar and indifferent to social life, and all the more to politics. Well, that is what exceptions exist for – so that to confirm existence of a rule.

So, Jeff Baxter has a diverse career. He made his appearance in a psychedelic pop band Ultimate Spinach, later on he played with the rock bands I mentioned above, and finally in the year of 2001 he took up politic career as a defence analyst. I would describe him as a gifted person that is successful both in politics and music. By the way, he has 8 platinum albums, 17 gold ones, and 2 Grammy awards.

In spite of Jeff’s outstanding personality and magnificent guitar performance, his online presence is very small. Neither sites nor blogs are dedicated to the musician, only online video clips and tapes are available. So, let’s enjoy them.
