Song of the Week (March 26th to April 1st)

I'll be nice this week and won't post anything to tease you guys for April's fool! I'm in a pretty good mood as I quite my job with my mean bastard of a boss and am now free to spend all my money and time with friends and impoverish myself by the mean time!

This week's pick of choice is pretty darn good! I actually think it'll be the hit joint of the summer. The song is performed by no one else than American sensation Nicki Minaj and is called Starships. I love the summer vibe, the easy-goingness and catchy lyrics of the songs! There's also a dubstep mix after the chorus which makes the song even more of a hot mess. Enjoy!



Song of the Week (February 6th to February 12th)

This week I chose the latest song by David Guetta featuring Nicki Minaj as the main vocalist. You guessed it right, the winner is "Turn Me On". I really like this song, I think the vocals sound almighty and involved instead of just sounding like any other Pop artist. I had heard Nicki Minaj's rap verse on the radio but thought the remaining vocals were performed by another singer but was stunned to learn that Minaj is actually performing both the rap and singing parts of the song. Seems like Minaj has a few tricks up her sleeve and more talent than other normal female rappers!

The video clip that supports the song is even more appealing than the song itself! I like the fact that they made it kind of like a futuristic utopia (it reminds me of the novels we had to read for our enriched English classes at High School!)! Anyways, enjoy!

Song of the Week (Jan 2nd to Jan 8th)

This article marks the first time I'm blogging in 2012! Curiously enough, it seems like the end of the world hasn't arrived yet! The proof is: Rodzilla is still there to write to you ;-)! I wanna start this year fresh and fun with a song that entails what I have in mind: don't let yoself be fooled by them people who claim that 2012 is the end of the world lol! That's right, it's cool 'cause I got it like that, I'm a player. And this week's winner is "2012 (It Ain't the End of the World)" by no one else but Nicki Minaj and the cute British baklava Jay Sean. Enjoy y'all!!!

Victoria's Secret Fashion Show

Backstage at Victorias Secret Fashion Show 2011 from Billy Rood on Vimeo.

Damn the 2011 Victoria's Secret Fashion will be aired this tuesday!!! Are you excited?! I am. I watch this show every year since 2007. I actually began watching it on an annual basis after mega Supermodel Gisele Bündchen dropped her contract with them (back in 2006). This year's show will probably be just as exciting as the previous years if not more. I'm just kind of sad that my ultimate favourite Ana Beatriz Barros won't be part of it. The list of featured models is long and goes as follows:

Lily Aldridge  · Alessandra Ambrósio  · Jessica Clarke  · Shannan Click  · Lily Donaldson  · Lindsay Ellingson  · Toni Garrn  · Izabel Goulart  · Sui He  · Erin Heatherton  · Bregje Heinen  · Elsa Hosk  · Chanel Iman  · Constance Jablonski  · Jacquelyn Jablonski  · Miranda Kerr  · Karlie Kloss  · Doutzen Kroes  · Ieva Lagūna  · Adriana Lima  · Maryna Linchuk  · Flavia de Oliveira  · Emanuela de Paula  · Karmen Pedaru  · Behati Prinsloo  · Laís Ribeiro  · Anja Rubik  · Cameron Russell  · Joan Smalls  · Shanina Shaik  · Julia Stegner  · Anais Mali  · Candice Swanepoel  · Anne Vyalitsyna  · Liu Wen  · Caroline Winberg

Some of these models' careers have sky-rocketed in the past and they're still there to team up as the "angels" of Victoria's Secret. This year's fantasy bra's value is estimated to be around $2.5 million and will be worn by Aussie beauty Miranda Kerr. Big artists such as Kanye West, Nicki Minaj and the Maroon 5 will be performing throughout the whole length of the show. Can't wait to see that! I was wondering what you guys thought of the models featured on the VS runway was eager to know which one was your favourite! My poll is posted below:

Mini Nicki Minaj Look-Alikes

Terrine sent me this video via Facebook this week and I'm oh-so thankful to her for having done that as it was a thousand times more entertaining than any cheesy American movie in theaters now. I mean what's more entertaining than overexcited, happy, cheerful and talented children?! You gotta love'em! This young girl was a fan of Nicki Minaj's summer hit "Super Bass" and got her mom to record her performance of the song accompanied by another young girl -is it her younger sister or just a friend? The video that got her "famous" is quite amateurish but the live performance she gave on tv alongside Nicki Minaj is one to be remembered!!! I mean Christ, this young girl has so much energy and goodwill! I found it so funny that she could rap, have some street cred and act like a black diva at such a tender age! I showed it to my mom and she was bedazzled! Thumbs up for Sophia Grace!

--> Here's the original recording of her version of the song:

Song of the Week (June 27th to July 3rd)

I'm posting this so late!!! I'm traveling y'all it's hard to post articles on time!!!

I chose this song as this week's anthem because it sounds fresh and is actually refreshing. These kinds of songs make each summer memorable and anchored in our souvenirs.

Of course I love Nicki Minaj; I think she's a fashionable chameleon capable of morphing into different genres and roles with no issue whatsoever. Not only is she one of a few female rappers that dress like classy women (that being said, she dressed up, unlike other female rappers that went to jail... We won't name names.. hu-uhm!)

Nicki is also a but more politically-correct and less vulgar than most rappers. I do believe she's genuinely passionate about music not just gangsta life. Nicki strives to maintain her street cred and while still trying her shot at high Fashion. Good combination if you ask me!

Make sure to not only listen to the song but also watch the clip; I think it's truly worth it, it's a piece of Art! It's a bit Lil' Kim reminiscent with a hint of Keshia Chanté and the end characters could be dubbed as "Barbarella meets Smurfette" lol. I love their choreography, Nicki's multiple outfits and the fluorescent hair and makeup! Solely black women could look good dressed like that! You skinny white bitches wouldn't work it any close as good as this!
