Paparazzi Lady GaGa

This is a fun song that has a REALLY catchy tune, but can seem sad to some people in a way. I thought Gaga did a good job of singing this song, making her reputation as a singer even more popular. Lady Gaga's other hit song " Bad Romance" is currently on the top ten most downloaded songs of the week, at number 2.

A few of Gaga's other songs, "poker face" and " love Game" also made GaGa's popularity sky rocket over the summer. This song is really catchy, but the thing that really catches your eye is the music video for this song. GaGa in the video plays a disabled person who does practically the same things as everyone else does. It is pretty strange, but the song is still fun.

I give this song 4 stars!

Fireflies by Owl City

This is another amazing song, one of my favorites, called " fireflies" by Owl City. This song has an excellent message to it, and the melody makes everyone want to listen to it.

The first time I heard this song, I didn't like it that much. But once i listened to it a few times, i learned to LOVE it, and quickly downloaded it on my ipod. As a matter of fact, two weeks ago fireflies ranked number 1 on the top ten most downloaded songs of the week, and this week it ranked number 2. like kesha's " tik Tok" this is a great start for the band to get more known by the public. And to make things better, the music video for this song is amazing, just like the song.

I give this song 4 stars!

Tik tok By Kesha

In my opinion this is one of the best songs of the year, aside from party in the USA and down, and a few other great songs that make you addicted to hearing them. These are some songs that DJs on radios will play a thousand times a day.
The song doesn't necessarily have a good message to it, but who really needs that when it sounds so great???? The different parts to the song almost make it seem like its a whole medley of great songs instead of one. My personal favorite parts of the song are the "pedicure on my toes" part, "I wake up in the morning feeling like p-diddy" part, and the " o-e-o-e-o-o" part. the music video part is cool too, although it can't compare to the catchy rhythm of the song.
This song was a great start to Kesha's career as a singer, so i give good luck to Kesha in her music future!!!!! :)

I give this song 4 stars!

The Beatles

Everyone knows the Beatles- John Lennon, Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, and George Harrison. From all their great songs, over 250 songs to be exact-starting with 'love me do' and "p.s i love you' in the the early sixties and ending the band the early seventies, but do you really know some of the details?
Paul McCartney and John Lennon met in 1957 at a church fair in Woolton England, a suburb of Liverpool. John was 16 at the time and had another band at the time, called the "Quarry men" and Paul had just turned 15. They quickly became friends and Paul joined John's band within 2 weeks.
In 1958, Paul saw talent in his friend George Harrison, so George joined the band also. George, Paul, and John all played the guitar, and they needed a bassist and or a drummer. This is where Stu Sutcliffe came in, as the bass player.
In 1960, Stu came up with a name for the new name for the band, "the beetles" after Buddy holly's band "the crickets". John liked the name, changing the name ever so slightly to "The Beatles" with the pun as the "beat" as in rock n roll.
In 1961 Stu quit the band to study art, so the Beatles now had 4 members in the band, making Paul become the new bassist.
In late 1961, the Beatles got a manager, Brian Epstein. The band aslo got a new studio drummer, Ringo Starr.
In 1962 the band recorded their first single, "Love me do". Later their second song "please please me" became their first hit single.
The beatles quickly became popular, with Britain and The USA. In 1963 the beatles showing on the ed sullivan show was a sure sign that the beatles were a new popular band.
Over the next years the beatles became one of the most popular bands in the USA and Britain, and the pressure overwhelmed the band, causing the band to play it's last recording on august 20, 1969. The band was no more by 1970.
Later George died from throat cancer in 2001, and John was shot dead by a crazy fan in 1980.
Even though the beatles aren't together anymore, their music will be loved forever by millions of people over the world.

Walk Two Moons by Sharon Creech

The book Walk two moons, by sharon creech, was a mostly good book, but some parts can be a litle confusing- especially if you don't read between the lines.
The story is of a girl, Salamanca tree hiddle, whos mom died two years ago in a bus crash, when Sal ( who salamanca is known as ) was 11. now sal is 13, and life is hard without her mom, but she learns to get over it with braveness.
As Sal is on a road trip with her grandparents, Gram and Gramps, traveling all over the USA to famous landmarks in the northern most states, Sal entertains gram and Gramps with a story about Sal's time living in Euclid Ohio, after moving from Bybanks, Kentucky, after her mom dies.
When Sal goes to school in Ohio she meets a very worrisome, 13-year old girl by the name of Phoebe Winterbottom. The two Quickly become good friends, doing almost everything together by the time they meet. So, when Phoebe's mother mysteriously disappears from the Winterbottom household not saying where she was going, but still staying in touch with her family, Sal is with Phoebe the whole time trying to solve the problem.
Phoebe's neighbor, Mrs. Partridge sends notes to Phoebe's family as advice to help them, even before Mrs. Winterbottem's leaving, leaving herself unknown as the writer of the notes. This is why WALK TWO MOONS is called this title, because of one of the important lessons Mrs. partridge involved in one of her notes to the winter bottom family, " don't judge a man until you've walked two moons in his moccasins" meaning, don't judge a person until you really know them and no what there life is like.
Since her moms leaving, Phoebe starts to get really nervous, annoying people to help her get her mom back.So, Mrs partridges note, " each man has his own agenda" means everyone has their own problems to worry about.
In the end, Phoebe's mom did come back, and it turns out she was visiting a secret son she had had 18 years ago that the Winterbottom family had not known about. The family was furious, but they were still happy to have their mother back.
As Gram and Gramps and Sal were still telling the story of phoebe, they decided to take a swim in the Mississippi river. While doing this, Gram got bitten by a water snake and had to go to the emergency room.
Gram (after she was healed), gramps, and Sal went to a few other places. While driving, gram had a heart attack, having to go to the hospital once again. Even though Sal was only 13, Gramps gave Sal the car keys to drive away from the hospital.
Sal drove for hours, where she finally stopped at the setting of the car crash where her mother died. While there, Sal realizes that Phoebe's own story brought back memories with her own mother, and also that she can never have her mother back, like Phoebe did. Her mom was dead, and Sal would just have to remember the good times they had together.
In the end, Gram died from the heart attack. gramps and Sal were devistated, but they soon started to get over it like they had with Sal's mother. And, matter of factly, they made a game where they would try to see what it would be like to walk in someone else's moccasins for a change.
I give this book 3 stars!
