September is coming very fast and you know what that means? The X-Factor is coming. We get to see Simon and Paula bickering on screen again… Bliss!
First song we hear on the speakers while we wait for the show to start… Wild guess?
Lady Gaga Unleashes Her Giant Spider in Japan
The singer performed her current SIngle The Edge of Glory and the title track for her album Born This Way while in Japan, during the MTV Video Music Aid Japan at Chiba City. For some reason this is one of my favorite live Gaga performances, it seems to have a perfect balance of dance and acoustic of both songs, while including snippets of other songs, like Government Hooker. After starting tangled in a hair spiderweb while singing TEOG, Gaga went to a giant piano spider and did an acoustic intro to Born This Way.

The X-Factor: Dallas Auditions
September is coming very fast and you know what that means? The X-Factor is coming. We get to see Simon and Paula bickering on screen again… Bliss!
Tonight I’m at one of the Dallas audition shows. After nearly melting waiting in line, easily 100° degrees out there, I made it in.
First song we hear on the speakers while we wait for the show to start… Wild guess?
Jennifer Lopez – On The Floor.
Ironic, right? And now? Aerosmith’s Walk This Way! It’s a Fox show after all.
Got to see Simon and LA Reid while waiting, if Paula had gone out she would’ve clearly melted.
We are being told how things will work. The warm-up guy is telling us all about the audience being the fifth judge. We just sang Happy Birthday to one of the crew guys. Guy is telling us not to outright boo but show if someone sucks by saying other stuff. Interesting. Hard to not boo if someone sucks. The guy is doing pretty good, funny for the most part.
Host Steve Jones from the UK coming soon, then the Judges and finally the auditions.
There were some really great performers, especially forklift guy and rugby girl! Pretty sure we’ll see some of them on the show!
These two really impressed the judges and the audience was going nuts!
First Listen: Christina Aguilera + Adam Levine = Moves Like Jagger
Well, here we go! A few weeks back it was rumored that Xtina and Adam Levine were recording a song together and today we get the first listen of the song: Move like Jagger. Loving the sound of this! Their voices mesh very nicely and the beats are hot!
What do you think of the song from the superstar coaches of The Voice?
Beyoncé Covers Queen and Kings of Leon
Beyonce covered Queen’s Bohemian Rhapsody and Kings of Leon’s Sex on Fire during a Glastonbury warm up show in France. I really wish there was a high quality version of this, but watch the video below to see Sasha Fierce in action!
Ps. I really wish when people record singer in concert they would abstain from singing, so you can actually hear the singer better. 
Weird Al Yankovic presents Perform This Way – Lady Gaga Parody
It is finally here!
After a tiny amount of drama a few months back when Yankovic released a statement regarding Lady Gaga not allowing him to release a parody of her song Born This Way, which was then all cleared as a misunderstanding, we finally have a video to go along the wonderful lyrics.
I gotta say, Weird Al looks Fierce! Ha!

Quick Thoughts on X-Men:First Class
I am a little behind on watching this film, since I was waiting to see it when my brother came to visit from Puerto Rico. I finally got to see it with him yesterday and thanks to Groupon we got tickets to see it very cheap. I am a big fan of superhero movies, especially the ones from the Marvel Universe. I used to collect Marvel trading cards and knew pretty much all the heroes and villains, I’m a little rusty on my knowledge about them now. From DC Comics my favorite is Batman, he’s actually my favorite superhero. But enough of that, here are some quick impressions on the new X-Men movie.
- Loved the idea of a prequel. It really gave us a good grip on how it all started.
- I always love when they show the superheroes displaying their mutant powers, pretty sure it is my favorite part of the X-Men movies. Just seeing them and thinking “oh yeah, I remember him now”.
- The fact that they showed less known superheroes was great, I’m glad they showed people like Banshee, Havoc and Emma Frost.
- I wasn’t a big fan of Beast after his full transformation. His makeup reminded me of Mike Myers in Cat in the Hat or Jim Carrey in The Grinch. Beast was more badass on previous movies.
- One of my favorite story lines in the movie was Mystique’s, her struggle between living as her blue mutant self or fitting society’s image are struggles which viewers can identify with.
- Michael Fassbender did a pretty good job as Magneto, he really showcased the fight within between choosing right or wrong, a hero or a villain, and the agony he carried because of his past.
- The first many of us saw of James McAvoy was as Tumnus in Chronicles of Narnia but he did very well on this film. I also love him on Wanted.
- I enjoyed that the movie didn’t rely on explosions to just be “cool”, it had some good stories that can lend themselves to be further developed in more movies.
- The movie had less marketing and promotion behind it than previous X-Men movies which were everywhere. In my opinion it deserved to be promoted better because it is one of the most solid ones in the franchise. It even has an 87% Certified Fresh rating on RottenTomatoes.com.
Overall, X-Men: First Class was very enjoyable, a film that everyone in the family will like, even if you are not really into comic books.
Should you watch it? Yes!
