Music Video: Lady Gaga – “The Edge of Glory”

The latest music video from Lady Gaga was released yesterday! Check out the video for “The Edge of Glory” below!

There’s something very old school Madonna/Cher-esque about this video, and I like it! I am a fan of simple, well done videos. For me, this is great. 

 You know, I’m not a huge fan of her new album, this is one of maybe two-three songs that I actually like, and I’m happy she made it a single.

What do y’all think of Lady Gaga’s new video?

Sneak Preview: Moneyball

Last summer, Moneyball was shooting in Oakland, and I had the unique opportunity to take part one evening as an extra. Brad Pitt, Jonah Hill, Philip Seymour Hoffman, and Chris Pratt were all on set that night at different times. It was pretty awesome. It was the longest & coldest eight hours of my life spent out at Oakland Coliseum, but it’s something I’ll always remember. Especially those five seconds where I got to say hi to Brad Pitt and get his autograph.

Moneyball is slated to be released this September, and you can check out the trailer below!

The Voice: Team Adam Takeover

Honestly, I’ve been sitting here trying to come up with a title for this blog post, and yeah, I think this one is fitting, because Team Adam basically stole the show on The Voice last night.

Before I talk about last night’s performances, let’s talk about the Top 8 results. America saved Beverly McClellan (Team Xtina)and Dia Frampton (Team Blake). Christina Aguilera saved Frenchie Davis, and Blake Shelton chose to save Xenia.

Maybe it’s just me, but I do not understand how people are “shocked” over Blake choosing Xenia over Jared Blake and Patrick Thomas.

Jared Blake’s voice is just average, at best. There are a handful of lead singers that sound just like him on the radio. Nothing about his voice stood out to me, personally. With Patrick Thomas, I don’t think he should have gone past the battle round. Tyler Robinson completely outsang him. Plus, his performance last week was just okay.

From the begining, it’s been fairly obvious that Blake has a soft soft for Xenia’s voice. Their rehearsal footage is always charming and endearing. I figured he would pick her if America didn’t save her. I think as soon as Xenia gets over her stage fright, she will just soar.

Moving on to last night’s show. It was Team Adam (Casey Weston, Devon Barley, Jeff Jenkins, and Javier Colon) and Team Cee Lo’s (Thompson Sisters, Nakia, Curtis Grimes, and Vicci Martinez) turn to get their singin’ on.

Alison Haislip, The Voice’s Social Media Correspondent spoke with the press last week about how her role on the show is changing now that The Voice has gone live, how important it is for the contestants to connect with their fans via social media, and what she thinks about the reports on the lack of critiquing from coaches Adam Levine, Christina Aguilera, Blake Shelton, and Cee Lo Green. 

Haislip has a unique opportunity as the show’s Social Media Correspondent to connect with fans through Twitter and other social media outlets as a way to encourage their participation in building The Voice contestants’ individual fan bases, connecting with the contestants, and most importantly, voting. Haislip feels like the excitement to participate has grown, since fans realize that they can get their questions/comments shown on the air.

Music Video: Katy Perry – “Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F)”

Katy Perry released her new music video for her latest single, “Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.),” which features cameos from Glee’s Darren Criss & Kevin McHale, Rebecca Black, Hanson, Kenny G, plus Corey Feldman and Debbie Gibson. Can you spot them all?

This video is hilarious! I love Kathy Beth Terry and her character of friends.

I think Katy Perry picked a great song to kick off summer with; I have no doubts  about “Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.)” becoming a huge hit. It’s a great song, and having a fantastic video can only be a plus!

What do y’all think about the video for “Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.)” and all the cameos?
