Let It Go - Frozen - Alex Boyé (Africanized Tribal Cover) Ft. One Voice Children's Choir

Last March I posted an amazing dubstep video by violinst, Lindsey Stirling and the venue she used was absolutely breathtaking.  Well this time around another artist, Alex Boyé has used the same venue.  

Well....... not exactly.  Alex used the Ice Castles in Utah, whereas Lindsey used the Ice Castles in Colorado.

And what's the song? 

"Let It Go" from the Disney movie, Frozen of course.  Check it out, it's pretty darn cool.

Also if you're interested in finding out where this was filmed, you can check out The ICE CASTLES AT SILVERTHORNE.  They are an unparalleled creation of walkways, illuminated ice formations, tunnels, and arches – made entirely out of ice and designed with the visitor in mind. These massive and dynamic ice structures are nearly 30 feet high, and collectively measure over 10,000 tons.

On a recent blog entry, Oprah.com described the Silverthorne Ice Castles as “magical...twinkling and sense-defying and straight out of fairy tales.” The post went on to say, “of all the gorgeous pictures on the internet of incredible structures made of ice (and to be sure there are many.), I'm most moved by Brent Christensen's Silverthorne Ice Castle, a cavernous, surreal-looking place that looks as if it were constructed by an army of icy elves, or else appeared on its own in an enchanted forest.”

This is definitely another great place added to mine and Ryan's wishlist of places to visit.  A-ma-zing.

Cosplay Piano: The Walking Dead, Batman, Superman, Game of Thrones

If you're a fan of The Walking Dead, Game of Thrones, Batman, or Superman - you'll truly enjoy these videos.  Award winning pianist, Sonya Belousova and Director Tom Grey are the geniuses behind these musical arrangements.  While The Walking Dead and Game of Thrones vids are a bit more elaborate, they're all great nonetheless.  The Game of Thrones piece is my favorite.

Back In The Day - Judy Garland and The Supremes

$1, really?  Hell, even the 2, 3, 4 and 5 dollar ticket prices sound amazing.  Talk about a deal.  

Ironically enough, the vintage ad is for a concert at the old Astrodome here in Houston.  

If only the ticket prices still existed. LOL.  As for the Astrodome, it's still standing; for now.

Make You Feel My Love by Sean Rumsey

I first heard Sean Rumsey's cover of Adele's "Make You Feel My Love" over a year ago, and I still can't put it down.  I absolutely love his rendition of the song.

I learned today he was actually a contestant on The Voice currently airing in the UK.  According to the Mirror "he is on the verge of being signed by a "host of record labels"".

 

A Song About Immigration, Fiats and Sexy People

I was about to watch a video on you-tube when an advertisement pops up.  My first thought was to skip it, as I normally do, but after letting it play for a minute I got dragged into it.  I'm assuming all you club-goers have heard of the song.  It's titled "Sexy People (The Fiat Song)" featuring Pitbull.

Italian singer-songwriter and actress, Arianna Bergamaschi, better known as Arianna, released the song earlier this year.  She spoke to Artist Direct as to why she made the track: 

I'd made a track for a friend who does music for commercials. I was at home and they called me asking to suggest a song that's like the dance song "Tu Vuò Fà L'Americano". That's a Neapolitan song from Naples. They wanted a song like that because the commercial was about immigration. They wanted to speak about Italian immigration in L.A. I knew the Italian song very well, and they just asked for a suggestion. I said, "Torna a Surriento" is one of the best because it speaks about immigration. I sang it for a little bit since the commercial was 30-seconds. I didn't imagine it would get four million views on YouTube, and we'd do a song [Laughs]. I'm a singer in Italy, and I've done so many things including theater and musicals. It's like a dream for me to be here. I wanted to do a single in the U.S., but I didn't expect it. Everything feels like an unexpected dream."

Check it out, it'll make you dance.

Sunday Funday: Sebastian Castro in Bubble

Just in case you gay boys never heard of the Peruvian-Japanese actor-singer known as Sebastian Castro.  On Valentine's Day he released a video for his single, "Bubble".  And yeah, it's a little gay. LOL.  

Sebastian says, “I tried to recreate the feeling of losing my virginity… I just wanted to make something so visually, musically, impulsive that would give anyone and everyone a glimpse to what it felt like.”

Um, you explained it alright.  This video is not meant for the straight or faint of heart, and definitely NSFW.   Watch at your own risk, LOL.

Just Sayn'

Douglas Booth as 80's Pop Icon, Boy George in the made-for-tv movie, Worried About The Boy.  And he looks remarkably just like him.  Just Sayn'.

Sunday Funday: I'm Not Gay

Today' second Sunday Funday video uses a different genre, but is just as hilarious as the video I posted earlier.

The song titled,  "I'm Not Gay" features an up-and-coming artist, by the name of Jesse Pepe.  I couldn't find much on him, but I did find his Kickstarter page, where he states his "goal as an artist is not to be another flame-out mainstream performer."  But as one guy put it, "Grabbing guys’ crotches, stroking poles and asking for a good drilling at Home Depot probably isn’t the best way to show you’re not gay."  LOL. "That’s exactly what Jesse P’s alter ego J Pee does in this parody clip titled, guess what… “I’m Not Gay.” The homo-bro rap track was written by Pepe himself and features lots of gratuitous shirtless shots and inappropriate touching."

Once again, be warned - it is NSFW, but it is good, clean fun. Absolutely hilarious! 
 

Saturday Morning Coffee Break: Define Me

I'm going out of the norm for today's issue of Saturday Morning Coffee Break.  I'm featuring a music video by singer/ songwriter, Ryan Amador that is absolutely amazing.  He sings alongside Jo Lampert in a duet that is both powerful and moving.  The song is titled, "Define Me".   

Trust me, making you cry is not something I want to do, but this will be especially emotional for those who have ever been bullied or blasted with gay slurs growing up.  And this will be emotional for those straight folks with a heart and soul, who may have contemplated saying these things once, and regret ever doing so. But finally, this is for those Christians who know loving your fellow brother is something Jesus asked them to do, and yet, don't understand why their fellow worshipers are so full of hate and contempt for those who wish them no harm.

The video features Amador and Lampert stripping down to their underwear revealing gay slurs and negative stereotypes across their arms, legs, and chest.  It ends with them washing away the words and sharing a smile.  

Once again, it is absolutely amazing; I just love it.  And this why it is today's Saturday Morning Coffee Break.  And rightly so.

Grab your java, sit down and enjoy.

Boybander Duncan James Does The Gay Times

I think I've come to the conclusion that every boy band has a gay member.  New Kids On The Block has Jon Knight, NSYNC has Lance Bass, Westlife had Stephen Gately, and BLUE has Duncan James.  Sorry to burst your bubble, One Direction fans, but I'm thinking there's a couple in that boyband as well. LOL.

Duncan landed himself on the cover of the June 2013 issue of Gay Times magazine, and well, I have no complaints.  The actor, singer, model, and TV personality came out in 2009 and has since been doing really well.  Can't you tell?

PENTATONIX - Evolution of Music

The Season 3 winners of NBC's The Sing-Off, Pentatonix, recorded a medley of their favorite songs throughout history.  It's pretty cool.

They take on music from the 11th century, 1600's, 1800's, 1910-1990's and yes, even music from the years 2000 - 2013.  Check it out.

Blade's Box of Jams: Track #17 - Gentleman

Currently listening to

PSY

I haven't posted a jam in over a year, so I figured why not let you join in on "Gentleman" from your favorite Korean artist, PSY.

I never understood the craze behind his previous song, "Gangnam Style," but since it surpassed Justin Bieber's single, "Baby" on April 1st, he must be doing something right. lol.

Here's the video and song for your enjoyment; And yes, while I don't understand what he's saying, I'm still listening to it.

Bieber Strips For Poland - FOR FREE!

So apparently when it's -10 degrees outside and you arrive at an airport, you're supposed to strip until you're half-naked.  At least that's what Justin Bieber thinks one should do.  Poor kid, what is up with him lately.  Granted, he's cute and all, but c'mon.

A spokesman for the airport said, “He wasn’t told to take off his clothes. He had no metal objects on him... He’s quite skinny so I assume he was probably freezing."

I think he's just one of those boys that doesn't like wearing much clothes.  And he loves the attention.  Full story at the NY Daily News.

Blood Stained Glasses

Look, I know the whole spiel, "people kill people - guns don't kill people", blah, blah, blah.  But does Yoko Ono really have to show us her husband's blood-stained glasses to let us know that "Over 1,057,000 people have been killed by guns in the U.S.A. since John Lennon was shot and killed on December 8, 1980."

The answer is yes, and I'm glad she did.

Yoko Ono recently tweeted this Image

Another Britney???

What the hell is going on with the Biebs lately?  Is he going through a celebrity breakdown or something.  Oh-Oh, not another Britney!!!  Poor Justin, he was sick, he wasn't allowed into a club - geez  -- Things are just not well with him.

This Boy Is A Bottom (NSFW)

The following video was released a few days ago by drag superstar, Willam Belli and it's absolultely hilarious!  I loved it so much, I had to download it.  You may remember, Willam was eliminated for breaking the rules in Season 4 of RuPaul's Drag Race, where he went on to say he wasn't going to "RuPaulogize" for breaking the rules.

As with most videos by Belli, it is NSFW so make sure to have some headphones on or wait to play it at home.

The video parodies the song, "Girl is on Fire" by Alicia Keys.

 

Quoted: One Direction's Louis Tomlinson on Gay Rumors

“This is a subject that was funny at first but now is actually hard to deal with as I am in a relationship.... Me and Harry are best friends, people look into our every move...  it is actually affecting the way me and Harry are in public. We want to joke around but there seems to be a different rumor every time we do anything.” - Louis Tomlinson in an interview with MTV

Seriously though, if you don't want the rumors floating around, stop kissing and loving all over each other in public. Geez. LOL. Remember these photos?

Is Your 'Gaydar' Working?

I always get asked from co-workers and friends to find out if a person is gay or not.  Some are even brave enough to say, "I know he's gay." And one of the ways they derive at this answer is by their persona - how the person acts in front of them.

So can you tell if someone is gay just by looking at them?  That's my question to all of you.

In the meantime check out these 12 gif images of Joe Jonas.  Gay. So gay! LOL.

 

 

 

Oh and by the way, The New York Times has already solved it - The Science of 'Gaydar'.

Album Cover Parodies

What if comic book characters were used as famous album covers? Well, they would probably look something like this..

X-Force Queen

Cyclops Bowie

German artist Uwe de Witt over at Deviant Art, created these pretty fabulous parodies.  He also has a great blog, Spacelord, you can check out as well.  I especially love Dr. Strange Pink Floyd

Must Watch - Must Listen: Tarzan Rain

You may remember or you may not, but in one of my flashbacks (that I haven't done in a while), I featured a song titled Tarzan and Boy by Baltimora.  It was actually a club song from the late 80's, early 90's - a one hit wonder to say the least.  Well today I came across an odd mashup..

Adele vs. Tarzan.  I know, I know, my thoughts exactly.  But it does sound pretty good.  The Reborn Identity mashed up Set Fire to the Rain with the 80s New Wave dance hit.  Take a look, and listen.
