Taylor Swift- Mine (Single & Official Video)


Picture
     So, I'm sure you've all heard the amazingly talented Taylor Swift, right? Well, if you haven't, you'd better get out of that rock your living under! Taylor Swift has a new single- which I know you've heard- called "Mine". It is a very... cute song about a girl (Taylor) who falls in love with a boy (Toby Hemingway). It tells the story of how young love can make it.
     The music video is heavily based on the lyrics. It's very detailed- like he works at a diner, they sit by the water, they put some of her stuff at his place, so on and so forth. Throughout the video, there are many cute clips of them in love, doing loving things. My favorite part was i the scene when they are in the canoe, he asks her to marry him and, of course, she happily says yes! Then they get into a fight, just like her parents did. In the end she runs out of the house, and he follows her, letting her know he'll "never leave her alone". Then they get married, and have a wonderful family, including two adorable boys! 
    The music video is indescribably heartwarming and just like her! If you have not heard this song or have not seen this awesome video you should get on the internet NOW and go to mtv.com, hover over the big label that says music and click video premieres! Enjoy!

Adam Lambert: For Your Entertainment

Picture


Dance! Sing! Cry! 


Adam Lambert's headlining CD "For Your Entertainment" is sweeping the nation as people of all ages dance along to this glam rock CD! People all over the world have bought and loved Adam's album.


His first song on the radio, Whataya Want From Me, sky-rocketed to the top of the charts. It topped at #2 on the U.S. Billboards Hot Adult Top 40 Tracks. It also ranked the big #1 in several countries, including Argentina, Poland, Slovenia, and South Africa. The rock ballad contained heart-felt lyrics, begging for said-person to let him know "What do you want from me?" 


His next hit song was "If I had You". This party tune didn't do as well as "Whataya Want From Me", but still hit #3 on the U.S. Billboards 200. A piece of magic you're glad to have stuck in your head, rocking along is nearly irresistible. The video shows Adam and his friends partying in the forest wearing wacky outfits and crazy makeup, the scene complete with strobe lights and and huge Chinese New Year dragon heads (?!).


Other anthems include "For Your Entertainment", "Strut", and "Sleepwalker", electrifying tunes that make the world stop spinning. The sweet, soft ballads that are "A Loaded Smile" and "Broken Open" are haunting enough to shake your soul. When one of my closest friends heard "Broken Open", it nearly brought tears to her eyes.


Whether you are an Adam fan or not, there is no denying that his music is, well, the closest thing to magic we've got. Next to love, that is. But, then again, they're pretty close!
