Als das Video zum Song “Wide Awake” in der Spread the Musiq Redaktion eintrudelte, lag Spannung in der Luft. Sasha, der soulig gebügelte Mann aus Deutschland und die poppige Maria Mena mit der wunderschönen Balladen-Stimme. Da ist man sehr gespannt was aus so einem Duett wird.

Der Song beginnt mit einem gefühlvollen Part von Sasha, er zeigt sich von Anfang an von seiner romantischsten Seite. Man mag meinen, dieser Part sei zu lang geraten, bis dann Maria los legt. Power Stimme, super emotional mit einem wunderschönen Text. Anschließend treffen sich die beiden in der Mitte und vereinen sich mit ihren wirklich toll wirkenden Stimmen. Wie das ganze seinen Lauf nimmt, könnte ihr euch weiter unten im Beitrag selber anhören.

Das Video, welches bald öffentlich für alle im Netz zugänglich ist, zeigt sich mit abwechselnd warmen und kalten Farben. Grundsätzlich ist das ganze auf ein sehr romantisches Video getrimmt, mit einzelnen Parts der Künstler und zwischendurch treffenden Geschichten. Abgerundet wird das Video durch Ausschnitte des neuen Kinofilms “Lila,Lila“, das Duett ist der dazugehörigeSoundtrack. Und damit ihr schonmal einen Einblick ins Musikvideo bekommt, haben wir hier das Cover der Single mit Videostills für euch: >> weiter zum Singlecover © Warner Music Group

Der Kinofilm “Lila,Lila” kommt am 17. Dezember in alle deutschen Kinos, der Soundtrack “Wide Awake” ist ab Freitag, den 27. November 2009 in allen Läden erhältlich.

Den kompletten Song könnt ihr euch auf YouTube.com anschaun

Tipp: Die Single gibt es für nur 5,99€, enthalten sind Duett Version sowie Sashas Album Version des Songs, dazu das ganze noch Instrumental und mit Video, als Besonderheit gibts dann auch noch einen weiteren Song der sich “Ain’t My Kind” nennt (Amazon.de)

• Mary Mary featuring Kierra (KiKi) Sheard – “God In Me”
• Trey Songz featuring Drake – “Successful” (People like this dude Drake right now and Trey finally got some hits out this year beyond New York and ATL…This was a good second place mention)

ENTERTAINER OF THE YEAR

• Michael Jackson

Since there weren’t any choices, it goes to Michael. It goes to him not because he was the best this year but because he died this year, let’s keep it real. This music industry is so politically inclined they couldn’t just say we are giving MJ the accolades we haven’t given out of guilt…maybe if more of us were supportive and loving toward one of the greatest to ever do it then maybe the people closer to him would have done more to protect and take care of him.

Looking forward to seeing who actually wins! Maybe the industry can take notes from the AMAs by giving awards based on sales and not politics since sales mean PEOPLE chose the winners! *Pardon me Grammys* but the voters are not necessarily in tune with the music…I’ll get on their case in another blog coming soon!

I am so disappointed with the second delay in the screening of A Christmas Carol. It has been rescheduled for 25 November 2009 (Wednesday) here in the Philippines. At least, it’s this week, but these continued delays just get on my nerves. Alternatively, This Is It, the Michael Jackson movie tribute, has been showing for quite some time and has actually raked in an admirable sum in gross revenue. The problem is, I’m not really a Michael Jackson fan. Thankfully, a film that is categorized within one of my favorite movie genres has been released: 2012.

I'm glad I got to watch this.

Despite being screened simultaneously with The Twilight Saga: New Moon, I am glad that there are sensible people who have opted to watch 2012 instead. Believe me, instead of mulling over the love life of a desperate girl named Bella, go for the latest end-of-the-world flick. It has convincing premises, unprecedented intellect, and a showcase of more realistic human emotion. And, it’s got a great score and soundtrack.

The earth's crust will "shift," causing chaos on the globe's surface.

The movie (2012) talks of a prophecy from the Mayan civilization that the world will end on December 21, 2012 (12.21.12). This is termed as the 2012 Phenomenon. After the said date, nothing else follows; so naturally, everything will end. Scientists have dug into the accuracy of this premise and decided that the earth won’t necessarily be annihilated—the crust would just “shift.” This is described as Earth Crustal Displacement. In this phenomenon, the earth’s crust will move as a result of an overheating core. An extremely hot core will melt the interior layers of the earth, making the crust movable since the underlying supporting ground is liquefied. So, North and South America can literally “shift” to the South Pole, while Asia relocates to the North Pole. Sounds simple. NOT! This process would involve earthquakes, lava explosions, humongous tidal waves, and ash booms. So every life on the earth’s surface is in danger of total eradication. Unless humanity decides to build modern-day arks to carry representatives of every nationality, and every plant and animal species there is.

For Jackson Curtis (John Cusack), family is very important.

Like in other disaster of doomsday flicks, 2012 focuses on a single family that fights for survival, with occasional diversions to other families and individuals who would be significant to the protagonist family’s survival. Of course, the meat of every film of these genres is the blow-by-blow account of the destruction of the environment, places, and popular landmarks. This film showcases new scenes for a disaster flick; and, everything is detailed, messy, and chaotic—just exactly what you might expect in a disaster scenario. I wish they rendered this film in 3D—it would very much be entertaining in that format—cars flying, explosions here and there, tsunamis moving in towards you, and the works! I wouldn’t want to be one of the characters fighting for their lives like in the film though. I figured that if I was in a doomsday situation, my mind would go blank and I would just stop and watch it happen. By watching this film, I learned that in such cases, the best thing to do is run until something stops you; if you ever get stopped, try to resume your running fast!

For Adrian Helmsley (Chiwetel Ejiofor), every bit of life is very important.

I think that 2012 has the potential to become a very entertaining video game either in the PC, Xbox 360, PS3, or Wii consoles. So you are trapped in a doomsday event and the only way to survive is to travel half-way across the globe to China, where the arks are located. You utilize every vehicle available to your disposal—public cars, small planes, big planes, ships, cruises, whatever—just to get to the arks. You go through earthquakes, eruptions, falling boulders, tsunamis and every natural disaster possible and somehow, manage to live through all these—narrowly escaping death. It’s a great game—if the producers and developers would get it right.

I am glad that despite being panned by critics, this film has done well worldwide. I guess it’s been quite some time since a worthwhile disaster movie has been released. Since this movie has been on its second or third week of showing here in the Philippines (not to mention the hype over New Moon), I expected the cinema to have less or virtually no one in it. I was pleasantly surprised that the cinema was about one-third full, and after my showing time, more people came in, rendering it almost full! This reaffirms my faith that society is not easily swayed by ridiculous vampire love stories.

Yeah, I don’t appreciate the Twilight series. I think it’s because I perceive Edward Cullen and Jacob Black as a threat to us other males. I mean, almost every girl we know swoon over them! Duh! They’re fictional! I remember the hype over The Lord of the Rings back in the early 2000s. Girls lined theaters not to watch this great epic, but to ogle Legolas! Mind you, I love The Lord of the Rings series, but if you watch it just to lust over a single fictional character, something is wrong with you. The same goes to female Twilighters wanting to be the desperate Bella.

Save you money. Watch 2012 instead. You might be disappointed with New Moon. I am so glad I did. I cried, I laughed, I was exhilaratingly entertained. Oh, and I’ve been treated to trailers of next year’s flicks that I am definitely going to look forward to: Prince of Persia, Salt, and Legion.

Αλλά εμείς μόνο με τον Σάσα!

Και για να ακριβολογούμε με τον Johann Urb που παίζει στο 2012 το ρόλο του super duper wow hot ρώσου μπράβου – πιλότου Sasha που κακό χρόνο να χουν οι σεναριογράφοι πεθαίνει άδοξα πριν προλάβουμε να δούμε κάτι από όλα αυτα που φανταζόμαστε ότι εχει. Δυστυχώς ο 32χρονος Εσθονός με καταγωγή από το όχι και τόσο, αν και για πάρτη του αναθεωρώ, Ταλίν είναι παντρεμένος από το 2007 με μια καμήλα επ’ ονόματι Erin Axtell η οποία προφανώς και χαίρεται τη βαρβατίλα και την καύλα που αναδύει ο σύζυγος. Και στα δικά σας παληκάρια…μ’ ένα καλό παιδί σαν τον Johann.

This one, coming from probably one of the best electronic music albums ever made in the history of this genre. The good days of Sasha and a tremendous tune. In contradiction with the peeps out there believing that drum&bass and dubstep are the backbone of electronic dance music today: get to know! This is where it all started.

2006 Kış Olimpiyatları ikincisi Sasha Cohen, Ocak ayından düzenlenen 2010 ABD Şampiyonasına hazır olacağına düşünüyor.

Sakatlık nedeniyle 2009 Trophée Eric Bompard ve 2009 Skate America yarışmalarından çekilen Cohen, “Yarışmalara girmemekle iyi ettim. Artık ağrım-sızım ya da başka bir sıkıntım yok. Şimdi kaybolan zamanı telâfi etmekle meşgulüm” dedi.

2006 Dünya Şampiyonasından sonra yarışmalara girmeye ara veren Cohen, 2010 Kış Olimpiytalarına katılabilmek amacıyla üç buçuk yıllık aradan sonra pistlere geri dönmeye karar vermişti.

Bu amaçla yazın yoğun bir hazırlık dönemi geçiren Sasha Cohen, ISU Grand Prix yarışmalarından Trophée Bompard ve Skate America’da yarışacaktı. Paris’teki yarışmadan birkaç gün önce sağ baldırında tendon iltihaplanmasına bağlı sakatlık nedeniyle yarışmadan çekildiğini açıklayan Cohen, Skate America öncesinde de bir açıklama yaparak satatlığının devam ettiğini ve bu yarışmadan da çekildiğini duyurmuştu.

Skate America’ya Cohen’in Emily Hughes katılmıştı.

25 yaşındaki Cohen, “ABD Şampiyonasında en iyi şekilde kaymak için iki ayın yeterli olacağına inanıyorum” dedi.

Cohen, katıldığı son yarışma olan 206 Dünya Şampiyonasında bronz madalya kazanmıştı.

ABD, 2010 Kış Olimpiyatlarında Bayanlrda iki patenciyle temsil edecek. Bu iki patenci, ABD Şampiyonasında belirlenecek.

New video from Beyonce- ‘Video Phone’ I’m blown away by how much Beyonce is truly a chameleon…her look changes dramatically throughout this video and throughout her successful and lucrative career. I admire her for her bodaciousness, boldness and towering confidence. She comes to entertain even if it requires her to play different characters..I’m in awe…she’s more than just a singer..

Check out Lady Gaga getting all bootylicious and fierce in true Bey-like style… On another Swagger Note ..I absolutely  love the ending of this song!!!

A Helena (Taís Araújo) de Viver a Vida, da Globo, vem enfrentando uma certa resistência, não só com relação à personagem da trama (ela é responsabilizada pelo acidente de Luciana), como por parte do público. Personagens como o de Lília Cabral, que vive Tereza, parece ter caído bem mais no gosto dos noveleiros. E para saber a opinião do autor Manoel Carlos sobre essa rejeição, o jornalista Daniel Castro, do portal R7, o entrevistou. O novelista saiu em defesa da Helena e sua intérprete, Taís Araújo, que têm sido alvo de críticas de telespectadores, que a consideram ‘superficial, egoísta e chata, entre outros adjetivos negativos’.

Maneco não rejeita na tese de preconceito racial pelo fato de a protagonista ser negra:

“Não acredito. Somos um país de negros, e todos muito talentosos, sempre aplaudidos no teatro, cinema, TV e música”, afirmou ele ao portal.

Para ele, o problema está no preconceito à moda:

“Gosto muito da Taís como Helena. Sei de alguns focos de resistência, mas acho que isso é normal, em se tratando de um personagem que durante dez novelas foi interpretada por atrizes mais maduras, entre 50 e 60 anos, exceção da Maytê [Proença], mas foi há muito tempo, e as Helenas ainda não eram bastante conhecidas. De repente, coloco uma atriz descolada, moderna, jovem. E entendo que haja um ruído. A Helena não é superficial mais do que qualquer modelo. O mundo da moda é visto com preconceito. A própria Helena diz: todos nos consideram bonitas, magras e vazias. O personagem cumpre esse papel”.

O sofrimento de Helena, segundo o autor, poderá fazer o com que o público passe a vê-la diferente, já que ela se sente culpada pelo acidente que deixou Luciana (Alinne Moraes) tetraplégica.

“Talvez, com a virada, essas pessoas percebam que estou no caminho certo”, concluiu Maneco.
