Okay, so you didn’t have the chance to buy a roundtrip plane ticket to Sao Paulo Brazil last week to catch the Justin Bieber concert.
No problem – the 50,000 seat stadium sold out instantly and you probably couldn’t have bought a ticket if you wanted to.
But for those that have never seen a Justin Bieber concert live before, the full concert video below will give you a good idea of what you’re missing.
The concert was recorded October 12th, 2011 in Sao Paulo Brazil as part of “Children’s Day” on TV GLOBO.
One thing we noticed was his opening song “Love Me”.
Now, either the TV station’s transmission was screwed up or JB was lip syncing to a backing track on the first song because the pitch was way too high.
Overall, this kid really knows how to put on a show.
He sings, dances, plays guitar, plays piano and drums, and can get an arena of 50,000 fans screaming, crying, and singing every word to his songs.
You know you have really hit it big in Hollywood when Victoria’s Secret asks you to model one of their sexy new fantasy bras.
And supermodel Miranda Kerr has certainly hit it big with Victoria’s Secret!
Kerr, who has hosted a television show for the sexy lingerie catalog since 2009, was asked to model one of the fancy underwear maker’s very very expensive new fantasy bras.
How expensive? Try $2.5 Million worth of bra! That’s $1.25 million per boob!
What makes this bra so special is NOT the model it's attached to, but rather the 3,400 precious gems, 142 carats of white and yellow diamonds, pearls, faceted citrines and aquamarines used to make this lady lump holder.
All these wonderful jewels are set in 18-karat white and yellow gold. The centerpiece features two eight carat white diamonds, and two 14-carat yellow diamonds.
“It’s such an honor to wear the bra, and it’s such a piece of artwork! It’s absolutely stunning — it kind of feels a little mermaid-like — but I can’t believe I’m wearing $2.5 million on my chest.”
So, for all you people out there who haven’t found a job yet, are still trying to sell your house, or have kids to put through school - it’s good to know that you have a good idea for your wife (or girlfriends) birthday this year!
Come on, what’s it going to take to put her in that bra today?
17-year-old Season 10 American Idol winner Scotty McCreery has given one of his best interviews to date when he sat down with the Wall Street Journal.
Scotty talks about his new album “Clear as Day” and his thoughts on not being just another country singer.
Scotty says,
“It’s got a good mixture of songs. I remember sitting down with my producer and saying I don’t want this to be one of those poppy country albums. I want it to be current and up to date.”
Most of the songs on Scotty’s album are original songs and several have a gospel influence.
McCreery also announced that after his summer tour and record deal with Mercury that he has decided to return to his home town of Garner and rejoin his friends in high school to finish out his education.
Even though he had security tag along with him to school Scotty says things slowly returned to normal.
McCreery’s album “Clear as Day” is available now at Amazon.com and on iTunes.
Even though Scotty has decided to return school you can still stay up to date with his career at his official web site at Scottymccreery-official.com
Sales reports indicate that “Clear as Day” has already sold over 200,000 copies which make Scotty the first Idol winner to achieve these sales levels since Ruben Studdard in 2003, and it puts him just ahead of Adam Lambert’s debut album first week sales.
Wow, what a cool guy.
Scotty seems to be very level headed and has set his expectations accordingly.
Pop singer Justin Bieber just gave his fans an early Christmas present.
Bieber has released a short video of behind the scenes footage called “Making of the video: Mistletoe” showing him hard at work putting his magic touch on film.
This was the same video shoot in Nashville a few weeks back where Bieber came out to say hello, and try to quite the crowd of fans that had gathered outside the sound stage.
Justin’s Christmas Album is just days from release and is expected to be certified as Gold by the end of the year.
For now, Bieber is in South America heading to Peru on the continuation of his “My World” tour IF he doesn’t get killed there!
Okay, we’ve been watching Austin Mahone for the last year - watching him slowly improve his covers and voice quality over time.
While we we’re impressed in the early days, he seemed a bit timid and a bit unwilling to totally let himself get lost in a song. He seemed a bit shy.
But a couple of months ago, Mahone started using either reverb, compression, or a delay with his video recordings and it stepped up his game by a mile.
A big fat Texas style mile…
There was a HUGE improvement over his earlier videos.
And tonight, Austin Mahone just released his latest cover which is “How to Love” by Lil Wayne – a song that’s been covered by a lot of singers including Justin Bieber.
And we got to say that Austin’s version just blew us away. In fact, we think that his version of “How to Love” may very well be the video that finally gets him noticed.
For those of you who aren’t musicians, “How to Love” is a very hard and somewhat technical song to play and sing.
It is NOT for the timid and shy – and he NAILED it.
Austin Mahone has grown up. He has improved. He now seems able to quickly learn any song he wants, and compile a very professional sounding video with just the right amount of effects to make it sound great.
That may not sound impressive until you realize he is NOT in a $10 million dollar digital studio with sound technicians and guru mixers.
He does it in his bedroom!
You have to listen to it to see what we mean….
As much as we hate to admit it, we like Austin’s version better than Lil Wayne’s.
Now, that brings us to Justin Bieber…
Justin also covered the song and it WAS in a $10 million dollar studio. While Justin’s version was powerful, we think Mahone’s was almost as good but in a more pleasurable, romantic, and “pure acoustic” way – without all the HIV drama and hip/hop rap that’s in Lil Wayne’s music video.
Anyway, we think that this cover is the one that some producer for Ellen, L.A. Reid, or some other Indy label or A/R person is going to hear – AND THEY’RE GOING TO TAKE NOTICE AND COME KNOCKING.
Did you hear that Austin?
You better sit down and take a deep breath because it may be awhile before you have a chance to rest those tired feet once they find you.
Get ready – we think you just recorded the video that’s going to make you famous.
We hope we’re right. We first wrote about Austin in in July when we we’re blown away by the fan following he had accumulated via social media sites like Facebook, Twitter, and his Blog.
Mahone seems to be hitting on all the right cylinders, and doing everything right in the social media world. He has a great voice and the ability to pick up various music styles quickly.
We’re afraid the only thing left to happen now is for his fans to help get him noticed by an important person or music label so he can get famous and start recording his own music.
Austin on the beach
Personally, we can’t wait.
And we know about 500,000 other people who will be beating down the doors of the record store to buy his first album.
Hear that L.A. Reid? Hear That Ellen? Hear that music industry people? Hear that A/R scouts?
We’re just saying – you better snap this kid up because he is going to leave you in the dust if you don’t get him a deal fast.
And Austin, when you hit it big - please don’t forget about us small, yet humble blogs that helped get your story out.
