Album Review: Who You Are by Jessie J
Description:
From start to finish, this is a great pop CD that touches on love, dance and themes of women's empowerment. Some lyrics are great for a pause and thought as she questions the entertainment business that parallels personal lives. Pop music is a streaming descent into one hit wonders which can be a great song. Times have not changed but what has become the extreme is artists on pedestals. Jessie J takes a look at where the music icons really are with an underwritten jab at those that wheeled the money. B. o. B. drops some reggae flows streaming through the first track, "Price Tag." The lyrics are at times on some serious levels but the music keeps it light so your subconscious will be taking in the lyrics while the conscience is rocking to the beat. "Big White Room" is a blow away song that lyrically and vocally challenges some of the fake slow songs on top 40 radio. Chills will run through the listener's body as Jessie dares to push her voice, bringing about the best track on the CD. Her style is a bit of all the best pop artists of the past 40 years. No matter if it was dance or songwriting greats, she brings it all together on this release. The more spins on the MP3 the bigger the feel and the more quickly the lyrics will roll off the tongue. "Casualty of Love" has a soulful base that explores some of the 80's best radio and MTV pop rotation hits. So many songs could have inspired this track that touching on one would be almost impossible. Coming from the European dance beat music that jams in the clubs is less drawn from than American pop musicTangga Lagu. "Rainbow" reminds everyone that we are all born equal and as human beings stay that way no matter of our place on the financial ladder. This could go hand in hand with bullying, giving a lesson to those who think it is OK to harass those who may be different. This song leads right into the Missy Elliott inspired track, "Who's Laughing Now", which is an immediate anti-bullying song that should inspire everyone who feels the effects to know that life will get better as you get older. Oh, so you think you know me now/Have you forgotten how/You would make me feel/When you drag my spirit down/But thank you for the pain/It made me raise my game/And I'm still rising, I'm still rising/Yeah/So make your jokes/Go for broke/Blow your smoke/You're not alone/But who's laughing now." So know this, kids, it will get better and someday your differences can be the wish of those younger than you.

I remember slides. I've even taken slides in the early 1990s. They were all a tad underexposed, but I took them with a manual everything SLR.

The last time I went to a movie theater was Jan 1, 2000. My husband and I are having a "date night" with the Backyardigans "Legend of the Volcano Sisters." We're swiping it from Alex's Christmas stash. He hasn't even seen it yet.

Yep, that's a date night, Viv. Movies sure are an expensive outing. We're alot cheaper here in Charters Towers than the city though we don't have the range of movies.
I'm wondering what Michael and I are going to do with ourselves next year with the empty nest.
 

Let's Keep in Touch!
