Jhene Aiko Mixtape- Sailing Souls

Beautiful songstress Jhene Aiko dropped her mixtape entitled Sailing Souls on her birthday March 16th. For those who aren't familiar with Jhene, she may be recognized from the B2K era, being featured in their videos; as well as having her own song and video for the 2001 hit No L.O.V.E, while being part of the then popular T.U.G Ent. Since then she has had underground hits such as Wait No More and the summer hit July featuring rapper Drake.

This mixtape showcases her smooth melodic voice as well as her laid back "hippie" style, in these r&b and neo-soul reminiscent tunes. Tracks such as H.O.E. featuring singer Miguel showcase her now grown up demeanor, much different from her former teenie songs.

Overall, Sailing Souls showcases Jhene's pure talent through this independent project. Having features from artists such as Drake and Kanye is sure to draw attention and produce more mainstream exposure for the singer; though her die hard fans will agree that whatever she produces is gold.

Idol Eye Candy DeAndre Brackensick

Now, like a lot of people, i enjoy watching the audition episodes of American Idol, always good for a laugh. Through as the competition moves on I usually lose interest and stop watching. I just so happen to catch the episode last night which was the group week episode, there was a lot of drama going on so i decided to sit and watch lol. When the segment came on about the group of mothers who sat front row judging the contestants and who were smack talking about how their kids were much better I just HAD to see what their kids could do if they really were all that.

Well the group of teens performed and did an excellent job, i really liked the second girl who sang and the song melody and such, when suddenly the screen flashed to the cutest face Ive sen in a while. He was so cute he hit an incredible high note when he was singing, I became a fan insatnly lol.

His name is DeAndre Brackensickm he's 16 from San Jose, California. Being that I wasn't really into the show I didn't catch his audition, maybe I can YouTube it. I think he's very talented and stood out among his group mates, i hope he goes far in the competition, I can see him being the next CB or someone on that level. Least now I have a reason to tune in to Idol. Geesh if only he wasn't so young lol

Model Spotlight: Jasmine Sanders

Hey boos, k you know I SORTA had an interest in modeling, still debating if this is the summer I decide to jump head first into taking it seriously...but hey thats another blog post lol. Anyway, there are a number of certain models that I really like, this model I have seen but I just could never find out her name, turns out she is Jasmine Sanders, who recently gained more public notice for dating Chris Brown. When I saw her I was like hey thats her lol, but any way, Im gonna start showing some of the models I most admire the work of, I'll start with her. I really like the photos she takes, she has a classic beauty look which is hard to find these days with all the vixens and booty girls lol, I LOVE her hair, it makes me wanna go back blond, only for a moment though. She's 19 currently signed to Boss Models in New York, I wish her much more continued success, go girl!!

Heres a music video actually called Dear Jasmine that she starred in, werk girl!!

OMG TREYYYYY!

OMG so I literally just finished watching Trey Songz video for Yo Side Of The Bed!!! And all I can say is OMG WOOOOOW. There had been a lot of hype about it but I thought it would have been a dud because I also saw Sex Room this morning and that was a #FAIL lol, but this video omg!!! It was so good, story wise and Trey sexy ass did his thing!!! He should really start getting offered movie roles, that was touching as hell. It wasn't corny or over the top, but it captured everything PERFECTLY and Im not just saying that because I Heart Trey. Miss Keri Baby did her do as well, kudos girl! They were such a cute couple. I have to put this as one of my fav Trey videos.

Check it out and please tell me what you guys think

Blue Martian Mixtape

Yall know Weezy is in jail, this mixtape was released a couple weeks ago, and I really like it. I think that most artists who have mixtapes music is way better than their actual studio released alubums, the best example is Trey Songz. Anyway this mixtape features most of Young Money as well as others. Some classic Weezy nastiness hehehe, as well as some hot lines. I love Shanell's voice, she can blow, I hope she has an album when Wayne gets out. I downloaded this from datpiff.com they have free mixtapes, thats where I get all my underground Trey from.

This was the only video i could find of a song from the mixtape, this is Drake's Find Your Love, Im so diggin this song and the video is hot, the girl featured is Maliah his alleged gf, and female that has all the Drake heads mad. Lol stop hating on that girl she got her man, shes prettyful.

Beyonce- Halo (ORIGINAL Version)

WOW! Ok so Beyonce is my #1 fav female artist, BUT like alot of other people I felt that the videos for I Am...Sasha Fierce were less that what Beyonce usually brings. I thought they all were sorta boring especially the 3 girl format. I suppose this was the original version, I LOVED it, it was way more raw and exciting that the one played on TV. This is probably why it wasn't used, perhaps it was too graphic for TV, I think the storyline was better and Bey looked beautiful. I hope her upcoming album has more vids like this, "Why Don't You Love Me" was cute.
