So literally I'm changing this blog one-more-gain.
But I think this time, I will make it last.
I know that I say that every time I change it around but I feel like this time it will be different. How? It's going to be centered around the one thing that I love most: Music.
I've never done that! Why? I have no idea! I LOVE music! I mean, I've posted videos of myself on YouTube singing but I don't see that as the same thing. I feel like that's YouTube, not blogging. I've always wanted to keep a blog and I have before when I was in high school, but I've never kept going with it. Hopefully, this will break that.
What I'm planning to do with this blog is transform it to basically my legacy. Everything that I do, everything that I say, everything that I think about music will be on here. Experiences that will lead to songs, albums, covers, art, poetry, etc... will all be on here for you guys to see.
A lot has been going on in my life and I'm so excited to start sharing them with you. I've gone back to school. I started taking voice lessons from an amazing vocal coach. I've made amazing relationships with beautiful people. It's gonna be such an exciting journey for both me and you.
Right now, I'm planning a playlist for the weekend. I'm going to be posting one every Friday for the weekend. Now it's not going to just be playlists of Dance/Techno/EDM/Funk/R&B/Trap music... it's gonna be an emotional journey for the weekend, it'll have everything in it. It's gonna be called "Faded Friday Playlist" and will feature a theme.
I also plan on making a video every week as well. I can't decide if it's going to coincide with the playlist or not. Not sure if it will be a talking video, or a cover. We will see.
I'm just so excited that I'm going to begin doing something that I love.
We will see you Friday for the first installment!!!

So inspired by the beauty of success
Wow. I just saw that my friend and fellow singer-songwriter Christian St. Croix from SaintsCrossing.Com just finished his album "Rebel Yells (And Other Tales)" and is now on iTunes!
He is such an inspiration to me because our friendship grew from... somewhere, I don't even remember how but somehow we became friends over the web space and I've known him for quite sometime now, and even before he completed this milestone in life. It's such a sight to see when someone you know becomes successful. Don't get me wrong, he just completed his album and is currently on the market for performing, but he is actually doing something out there with his talent. It's something that makes him happy, and something that will get him by, and something he is working hard to achieve. To me, that means you are successful. It's not just about money in your pocket, it's about loving what you do, being good at it, and making a living off of it.
I am so envious of him. I mean I could be doing that as well but I just haven't had the heart or inspiration to do it. I'm one of those people who doesn't get inspiration off a whim, it has to come to me in a state of utter emotional instability, when I'm completely vulnerable is when I pull songs out of me.
So now that he's completed his first milestone, I can resume mine. I am inspired to get mine done by the end of the year. Finally finish and complete a part of me that has been a long time coming that will show case my talents, my mind and the deepest part of me! Get ready because I'm making it!

NEW SONG: Lady Gaga's "Born This Way"
Hey guys! Have you heard the new lead single off of Lady Gaga's upcoming album? It's called "Born This Way" and it came out yesterday! It's a great song. It's very madonna-esque. People say that it reminds them of Express Yourself... in which, yes it does but it I feel it's a tribute to Madonna. Because Madonna was the first to really break rules, and tell people it's okay to be who you are and Lady Gaga is just taking that and putting her own spin on it.
Everything Lady Gaga touches is gold. She is like a Modern Monster Queen Midas. This song has hit #1 on iTunes in 20 countries! And it just came out today! Wow! What an accomplishment for Lady Gaga, and she totally deserves it with this song.
It has a FANTASTIC beat to it that just makes you wanna dance to it. The message is so sincere and inspiring! It's another anthem for people who are different to just be happy with who you are. Just like Katy Perry's "Firework" and Ke$ha's "We R Who We R" in that sense. But Lady Gaga really does it in with this song because she calls out the races, and orientation and just everyone in general so most people can say it applies to them, if not all.
I love her little homage to Vogue in the bridge of the song. It's really cool. Then there's the little a capella section at the end in which she harmonizes with and it just ends the song on a happy note.
I am in love with this song so much and I AM gonna be putting up a cover on YouTube so watch out for that this weekend! It's gonna be amazing!

NEW COVER: Hold It Against Me - Britney Spears
Hey guys! How are y'all? So I just definitely spent around an hour recording my new cover! It's "Hold It Against Me" by Britney Spears. Such a great song. Fun to dance too and a kinda techno beat with a hard bass to it. I like it a lot and I hope you guys enjoy my cover of it!
Lyrics:
Hey over there
Please forgive me
If I'm coming on too strong
Hate to stare
But you're winning
And they're playing my favorite song
So come here
'Little closer
Wanna whisper in your ear
Make it clear
Little question
Wanna know just how you feel
If I said my heart was beating loud
If we could escape the crowd somehow
If I said I want your body now
Would you hold it against me
Cause you feel like paradise
And I need a vacation tonight
So if I said I want your body now
Would you hold it against me
Hey you might think
That I'm crazy
But you know I'm just your type
I might be 'little hazy
But you just cannot deny
There's a spark inbetween us
When we're dancing on the floor
I want more
Wanna see it
So I'm asking you tonight
If I said my heart was beating loud
If we could escape the crowd somehow
If I said I want your body now
Would you hold it against me
Cause you feel like paradise
And I need a vacation tonight
So if I said I want your body now
Would you hold it against me
[Spoken]
If I said I want your body
Would you hold It against me?
(Yeah) (Uh huh) (Oh)
Gimme something good
Don't wanna wait I want It now (na-na-now)
Pop It like a hood
And show me how you work It out
(Alright)
If I said my heart was beating loud
If I said I want your body now
Would you hold it against me
If I said my heart was beating loud
If we could escape the crowd somehow
If I said I want your body now
Would you hold it against me
Cause you feel like paradise
And I need a vacation tonight
So if I said I want your body now
Would you hold it against me

Day 13 - Favorite Musician and why???
My favorite Musician is Mariah Carey... Why? Because she is amazing. She has the voice of an angel. 5-octave range. She is bi-racial and writes her own music. She is the artist of the millenium. Best selling female artist. More number one hits than any solo act. Need I say more?
She has inspired a lot of musics top artists and singers and even today she is relevant in the music industry. She can belt she socks off of anyone. I don't know. She just has that star power that makes her music so relatable and amazing.
Her song 'All I Want For Christmas Is You' is number 1 on the Holiday charts every year since 1996! And will be for more years to come. She never has to reinvent herself and always comes back... I mean, she never left! and I don't think she will go either.
She also has her acting career which I love. I love her movies, all of them are really good too! Well I think that they are. Her movie Precious was really good.
I don't know what I would do without her. I don't even think that I would be singing if it wasn't for her!

My Top 5 Favorite Movies
Hey guys, guess what? I'm sitting here watching Prince of Egypt and crocheting. It's exciting huh? LOL. Well anyways, I wanted to share with you guys my top 5 Favorite movies. Here is goes!
5. Deep Impact
I absolutely love this movie. Every time I see it I bawl my eyes out. Elijah Wood was such a cute kid. He looks the same after all these years. Lee Lee is also beautiful as well. I'm jealous. This movie is like Armageddon but for some reason I like this movie more. It's about a kid who sees what looks like a star, I think? or a comet or planet or something and then they find out that it's a huge rock plummeting to Earth. The part that gets me is the part where the blind guy talk to his girlfriend and little baby for the first time and they are crying to each other. I start crying so hard at that part! Such a touching movie! I recommend it if your staying in on a cold and rainy day.
4. Glitter
A lot of you guys thought this was gonna be number one huh? NOT!!! I love this movie too. I know, a lot of you guys are like... WTF? Why is this on there? This was such a horrible movie! I beg to differ. I absolutely love Mariah Carey and I think she does a decent job of acting in this. It's not too bad. The music in this movie is fantastic, especially her ballads. I love stories of people becoming famous and the troubles they go through. The romance could have been better but I still like it. Never Too Far melts my heart and she has an amazing voice. Two thumbs up for me. Another plus is I have a memory about this movie in which a friend of mine and I looked all around town trying to find this movie because we loved it so much, LOL.
3. The Harry Potter Movies
I love these movies. I know I said 5 movies and in this series there already 7 with one more coming out, but I love these movies. I love watching these movies and seeing the characters grow up. For me, I'm a visual person so I like the movies, but I have read the books and they are very good. These are very epic movies and I could sit around and watch them all day. Also, Daniel Radcliffe and Rupert Grint are super majorly hott and should make out sometime.
2. Dirty Love
This is one of the funniest movies ever. I love it a lot. Jenny McCarthy's humor is so odd and matches mine a lot as well. Carmen Electra plays a black girl and does it really well, it's so funny. The story is funny too. It's about a girl who finds her cheating boyfriend with another woman and looks for a one night stand. I can quote this entire movie from memory, it's sick. My friends and I used to have so many inside jokes about this movie and we would watch it everyday.
1. The Litte Mermaid
Now if you are a friend of mine, then you should know that this is my absolute favorite movie ever. It was my first movie I ever remember watching and I actually have this really embarrassing story about this movie. My cousins and aunts and whatnot would actually put a towel around my legs and put me in a bathtub and I would sing the songs from the little mermaid. I remembered all of the songs and would always sing them everywhere. My cousins said that it was my favorite thing to do. Even to this day I love watching that movie.
Well thats it's these are my favorite movies. I hope you guys liked them. Tell me what your favorite movies are and let me know. My husband is calling me (literally) and telling me to come to bed. So i'll talk to you guys later! =]

Mariah Carey is coming to Dallas!
Yes ma'am! I'm super excited! That's right, my IDOL Mariah Carey is coming to the Nokia Theater in Dallas, TX on February 18th, 2010! Tickets go on sale on December 18th, 2009. I'm definitely marking my calendar and hopefully saving up to buy tickets for Josh and I to go see her. I haven't seen her since her Charmbracelet Tour in 2006 and it was amazing! I went with my friend Alyse and we had one of the most amazing experiences ever! It was a Christmas present from Alyse's parents and it was the best. I cannot wait to go see her again. So it's time to put up my donations button for PayPal, saving from work, searching parking lots and jeans for extra change and putting up a fund for these tickets!
