Because I Can't Get Enough of Her
She makes me smile. I read somewhere Beyonce said listening to Adele is like hearing an angel. I agree with her completely.

Two Wrongs Make a Right
Hadn't heard this song in a long time. I LOVE this video. It was actually directed by Kerry Washington. Love the feel and look of it. Not to mention the song. This video makes you want to get dressed and hope to be invited to a party as cool as this. Kanye, Alicia Keys, guy who plays Antwon Fisher, Serena Williams, Common, best cocktail party ever! (Minus the stalker ex in your bedroom.)
I love Adele, more like obsessed with, and I simply adore everything about John Legend. Making this clip amazing!

Goodbye to an Icon
Credit: Everett |
I am a fan of older movies, so I can appreciate her acting accomplishments, but she was also an original diva. She was old Hollywood. The glitz and the glamour and...the husbands. Eight men called her their wife. She was obviously an amazing woman. She was the first actor (male or female) to be paid $1 million for their work. She changed the way business was being done in Hollywood.
As I went through the dozens of pictures of Liz Taylor online this morning, I was able to see the history of her life, so were photos from her films or red carpets, but many were of her with the men in her life. She definitely faced some tragedy, like the death of her husband Mike Todd, but she also seems to live a pretty carefree life.
The influence she had on style is beyond anyone else. She was fabulous for 60+ years!! Flipping through the pictures of her fashion style through the years says it all because she did it all! You don't even have to be someone who knows much about jewelry to know that this woman's collection was unmatched. Mostly given to her by her twice married husband, Richard Burton. That man knew how to pick out (and sometimes, even design) some jewelry. Men everywhere should take notice!
The was truly an icon, a legend. She will live on forever!
Rest in Peace Elizabeth Taylor.

Top Albums
Can't give much explanation for why I love them, just do. These are the albums that will always be in heavy rotation in my house.
The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill: Wish it was one of many solo albums from her. But if this is all she could give us, we should just say thank you and run. She is amazing.
Jagged Little Pill: Every single song on this album is amazing. Loved this album in 1995 when it was released, love it even more now that I have a little life experience under my belt and her lyrics are SPOT. ON.
Back to Black: Amy Winehouse is amazing, she is on the list because she is amazing. But, like many artistic geniuses, she is tragic. God gives them a gift that is almost too big for this world or for one soul to handle. So, many of them become self-destructive and eventually, well, destruct. I love her and I think she has serious talent and just hope she doesn't leave us too soon like, Jimi Hendrix, Kurt Cobain, Janis Joplin, and many others.
Greatest Hits: Lenny Kravitz is always on my list, strictly out of principle. But I had to choose Lenny's Greatest Hits because I love all of his albums. I became the obsessed fan I am today when he released the 5 album, but it is impossible for me to choose between, Let Love Rule, Mama Said, and Are Your Gonna Go My Way. Impossible. So, I love them all.
Thriller: This is the GREATEST album ever recorded. Michael Jackson is the greatest artist that ever lived. He not only shaped pop music, but music itself, period.
