Possessive

La vida esta llena de momentos, de esperas, de sueños, de alegrias, de lagrimas, de cuestas muy empinadas, de dias en los que el sol brilla con tanta intensidad que ni siquiera puedes abrir los ojos, y otros tan tristes que solo quieres abrirlos para poder ver ese sol que tanta luz da y asi poder secar mis lagrimas, de promesas, de sorpresas... y de canciones que puede que te cambien la vida. Y la verdad es que mi vida gira en torno a una cancion, una solamente, que siga alimentando mi imaginacion , porque con la imaginacion mis sueños que son tan mios se haran realidad, y llegan hasta tu corazon, como una estrella fugaz. No dejo de escuchar la cancion una y otra vez y en enero mas coescrituras y mas cerca de que el arbol que tanto he cuidado de sus frutios y los podais degustar.









Bueno si habeis mirado el curriculum de Billy Steinberg y de Shelly Peiken me imagino que Possessive os gustará lo mismo que a mi................ un beso enormeeeeeeee

Like a Virgin Madonna








Like a Virgin is the second studio album by American recording artist Madonna, released on November 12, 1984 by Sire Records. It was re-released worldwide in 1985, with the bonus track "Into the Groove". In 2001, Warner Bros. released a remastered version with two bonus remix tracks. After the release and the success of her self-titled debut album, Madonna wanted to solidify her future in the music business, by building on the success of the first album. However, she decided to become one of the record producers, feeling the need to control the various aspects of her music. Nile Rodgers was chosen as the primary producer of the album, due to his work with David Bowie.

The album was recorded at Power Station Studio in New York at a quick pace. Rodgers assisted the help of his former Chic band mates Bernard Edwards, who was the bassist, and Tony Thompson, who played drums; they appeared on several tracks of the album. Rodgers decided to be the guitarist, when Edwards requested him to do so, in exchange of their help. Jason Corsaro, the record's audio engineer, persuaded Rodgers to use digital recording, a new technique at the time which Corsaro believed was going to be the future of recording because test pressings always sounded consistent. Madonna was always present during the recordings, and believed that the songs on the album were stronger, compared to her debut album. The cover sleeve and images were shot by Steven Meisel. Madonna wanted the album title and the cover image to make provocative link between her own religious name Madonna, as the Roman Catholic title for Jesus' mother Mary, and the Christian concept of the virgin birth.

Like a Virgin is not that much of a musical departure from the first album, but the material is stronger. Along with Rodgers, Madonna also collaborated with her former boyfriend Steve Bray, who co-produced majority of the songs on the album. Consisting of dance-pop oriented music, the songs also incorporated synthpop and New Wave music. After its release, Like a Virgin received mixed reviews from the critics, but was a commercial success. It became Madonna's first number one album on the Billboard 200, while reaching the top of the album charts in Germany, Italy, Netherlands, New Zealand, Spain and the United Kingdom. The Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) certified it diamond, for shipment of ten million copies across the United States. Worldwide it has sold 21 million copies, becoming one of the best-selling albums of all time.

Five singles were released from the album, with the title track and "Material Girl" becoming worldwide hits and "Into the Groove" becoming her first number-one single in the United Kingdom. To promote Like a Virgin, Madonna embarked on her first concert tour—The Virgin Tour—which travelled in cities of North America only. Like a Virgin has attained significance as a cultural artifact of the Eighties. Madonna proved that she was not a one-hit wonder and was able to establish herself as a musical force to be reckoned with. Her songs became a lightning rod for both criticism by conservatives and imitation by the younger female population, especially "Material Girl" and "Like a Virgin". According to author J. Randy Taraborrelli, "Every important artist has at least one album in his or her career whose critical and commercial success becomes the artist's magic moment; for Madonna, Like a Virgin was just such a defining moment".


The title track "Like a Virgin" was written by Billy Steinberg and Tom Kelly and produced by Rodgers.[15] Steinberg said that the song was inspired by his personal experiences of romance. It was chosen for Madonna by Michael Ostin of Warner Bros. Records, after listening to a demo sung by Kelly. However, Rodgers initially felt that the song did not have a good enough hook and was not suitable for Madonna, but subsequently changed his opinion after the hook was stuck in his mind.[15] He credits Madonna with recognizing the song's potential, he later said: "I handed my apology to Madonna and said, 'you know... if it's so catchy that it stayed in my head for four days, it must be something. So let's do it.'" Hence the song was finally recorded.[15][3] Musically, "Like a Virgin" is a dance-oriented song, composed of two hooks.
Espero ponerla a lo largo de la mañana de aqui, antes de subirme al arbol.
Un besoteeeee

Eminem Ft Rihanna Love the way you lie



Holaaa aqui estoy con otra cover y cada día más contenta!!!
Esta canción era complicada!! rapear, cantar y tocar la guitarra sin parar.... menos mal que tengo un profesor de Bootcamp Koreano que me machaca y me tiene preparada.........el proximo reto será cantar debajo del agua jejejejeje Lo retiro!!Lo de debajo lo dejo para las sirenas.

Bueno como siempre me levanto leyendo vuestras historias de cada día y me encanta saber que estais haciendo. Aqui os dejo un poco la información de la canción que venía en wikipedia.

Love the Way You Lie es una canción del rapero estadounidense Eminem, publicada en su séptimo álbum de estudio Recovery. La canción cuenta con vocales de la cantante barbadense de R&B Rihanna, y fue producida por Alex da Kid y Makeba Riddick. En MTV fue confirmada para ser lanzada como segundo sencillo del disco, con un video musical próximo a estrenarse. La canción trata sobre una pareja que vive un amor enfermizo, posiblemente basado en la violencia doméstica.

La canción se convirtió en la primera colaboración en conjunto de Eminem y Rihanna. Alex da Kid declaró que la canción fue grabada por Eminem en dos días, junto a Rihanna como vocalista invitada.[1] El rapero comentó: "La canción que hice con Rihanna es una de las pistas con las que sentía que sólo ella podía llevarla a cabo, sólo ella podía hacerla".[2] La canción fue enviada al equipo de la cantante, estando de acuerdo en su colaboración.

"Llegaron a nosotros directamente diciendo: Tenemos esta canción y sólo pensamos que Rihanna estaría perfecta para cantarla. Y, por supuesto, yo estaba como, 'OK, me encanta, definitivamente voy a hacerlo porque me encanta Eminem. Y me encantó la canción. Es realmente hermosa, y realmente es destacable. Es un disco realmente único. Estoy muy emocionada por ello."
Rihanna también se refirió a esta colaboración con Eminem en una entrevista con "Access Hollywood": "Es algo que, sabes, Eminem y yo, ambos con la misma experiencia, usted sabe, en diferentes lados, diferentes extremos de la mesa... Era creíble para nosotros hacer un disco así, pero también era algo que había que hacer y la manera en que lo hizo fue tan inteligente.

Bueno pues nada ahora esperando que os guste.
Un beso muy grande de viernes!!!

Alejandro





"Alejandro" is a song by American recording artist Lady Gaga. It is the third single from her second studio album, The Fame Monster (2009). Co-written and produced by RedOne, it is composed as a mid-tempo Europop song with an uplifting melody, where Gaga sings about bidding farewell to her lovers. It was inspired by Gaga's "Fear of Sex Monster". Critics noted it to be heavily influenced by ABBA and Ace of Base, and predominantly gave positive reviews for it.

Holaaaaaa Bueno en breve grabo el cover y os lo pongo, espero que os guste la versión acústica. Muchas gracias a todos los que dais vida a este blog, me encanta leeros y saber como estais.

Aqui va un poco de wikipedia.

"Alejandro" charted on the UK Singles Chart prior to its official release, and reached the top-five on the Hungarian Singles Chart due to download sales from the album. It has also charted in Australia, Canada, New Zealand, Sweden and the United States—where it became her seventh successive single to reach the top-ten of the Billboard Hot 100, and also topped the Finnish, Polish and Russian charts. Gaga performed the song on both legs of The Monster Ball Tour, portraying a sexual innuendo scene with her dancers. The song was also performed on the ninth season of American Idol on May 5, 2010.

A music video for the single, which was directed by photographer Steven Klein, was released on June 8, 2010. It was inspired by Gaga's love for her gay friends and admiration of gay love—"her envy of the courage and bravery they require to be together". The music video portrays Gaga with a group of soldiers in a cabaret, dancing to the song. It is interspersed with scenes of Gaga as a nun swallowing a rosary and near-naked men, holding machine guns. The music video received from mixed to positive reviews, with critics complimenting its idea and dark nature, while the Catholic League attacked Gaga for her use of blasphemy, despite Klein dismissing the idea and claiming the scene in question (the swallowing of the Rosary beads) was Gaga's "desire to take in the Holy".

Y nada estad atentos................ besotessssssssssssssssssssssssssssss

Y orgullosa de haber nacido un 18 de julio como el y en un año que acaba en 8 igual que yo. Me encanta el titular que he leido hoy sobre el "Ésta es la historia de una vida de obstáculos, castigos, sueños y logros" en su 92 cumpleaños.

Y aqui va la información de la canción como siempre en inglés y según wikipedia:

"All the Lovers" is a song by Australian recording artist Kylie Minogue. It is the first single from her eleventh studio album, Aphrodite. "All the Lovers" was written by English electropop duo Kish Mauve and was one of the last songs to be recorded for the album. Minogue chose the song as the first single since she felt it was reflective of the euphoric mood of Aphrodite. "All the Lovers" is a midtempo electropop song with prominent synthesizers, that has been compared to Minogue's 2004 single "I Believe in You". Its lyrics are an invitation to the dancefloor, while comparing previous relationships to one's current lover. "All the Lovers" was positively received by contemporary critics, who praised its dance anthem nature and deemed it as a classic Minogue single.

The song became a commercial success particularly in Europe, reaching the top ten in countries such as Belgium, Germany, Ireland and Italy, and peaking inside the top five in France, Slovakia and the United Kingdom. The accompanying music video was inspired by the installations of Spencer Tunick, and portrays Minogue on top of a flash mob of people wearing white underwear, surrounded by different white floating objects. Minogue explained that the video was an expression of her view on sexuality and sensuality. It received positive reviews, with critics complimenting its aesthetic and imagery. "All the Lovers" has been performed by Minogue in a number of live appearances, including the fifth's season finale of Germany's Next Topmodel.

I still haven't found what I'm looking for new cover






Aqui va un poco de wikipedia

I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For" is a song by rock band U2. It is the second track from their 1987 album The Joshua Tree and was released as the album's second single in May 1987. The song was a hit, becoming the band's second consecutive number-one single on the US Billboard Hot 100 after "With or Without You", while peaking at number six on the UK Singles Chart.
Like much of The Joshua Tree, the song was inspired by the group's interest in American music. "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For" exhibits influences from gospel music and its lyrics describe spiritual yearning. Lead vocalist Bono's vocals are in high register and guitarist The Edge plays a chiming arpeggio. The song originated from a demo the group used to develop a unique drum pattern played by drummer Larry Mullen, Jr.
"I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For" was well-received by critics. It has subsequently become one of the group's most well-known songs and has been performed on many of their concert tours. The track has appeared on several of their compilations and concert films. In 2004, it was named the 93rd greatest song by Rolling Stone on their list of "The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time".

"I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For" originated from a demo variously titled "The Weather Girls" and "Under the Weather" that the band recorded in a jam session. Bassist Adam Clayton called the demo's melody "a bit of a one-note groove", while an unconvinced The Edge, the band's guitarist, compared it to "'Eye of the Tiger' played by a reggae band". However, the band liked the drum part played by drummer Larry Mullen, Jr.Co-producer Daniel Lanois said, "It was a very original beat from Larry. We always look for those beats that would qualify as a signature for the song. And that certainly was one of those. It had this tom-tom thing that he does and nobody ever understands. And we just didn't want to let go of that beat, it was so unique." Lanois encouraged Mullen to continue developing the weird drum pattern beyond the demo.[4] Mullen said the beat became even more unusual, and although Lanois eventually mixed most of the pattern out to just keep the basics, the rhythm became the root of "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For"

The group worked on the track at the studio they had set up at the Danesmoate mansion in Dublin. Lanois compared the creation of the song to constructing a building, first laying down the drums as the foundation, then adding additional layers piece by piece, before finally "putting in furniture".Lead vocalist Bono was interested in the theme of spiritual doubt, which was fostered by Eno's love for gospel music, and by Bono's listening to songs by The Swan Silvertones, The Staple Singers, and Blind Willie Johnson. After The Edge wrote a chord sequence and played it on acoustic guitar "with a lot of power in the strumming", the group attempted to compose a suitable vocal melody, trying out a variety of ideas. During a jam session, Bono began singing a "classic soul" melody, and it was this addition that made The Edge hear the song's potential.At that point, he remembered a phrase he had written in a notebook that morning as a possible song title, "I still haven't found what I'm looking for". He suggests it was influenced by a line from the Bob Dylan song "Idiot Wind": "You'll find out when you reach the top you're on the bottom". He wrote the phrase on a piece of paper and handed it to Bono while he was singing. The Edge called the phrase's fit with the song "like hand in glove". It became the song's refrain and title. From that point on, the song was the first piece played to visitors during the recording sessions.
As recording continued, a number of guitar overdubs were added, including an auto-pan effect and a chiming arpeggio to modernise the old-style "gospel song". While The Edge was improvising guitar parts one day, Bono spotted a "chrome bells" guitar hook that he liked. It was added as a counter-melody to the song's "muddy shoes" guitar part, and it is this hook that The Edge plays during live performances of the song. Bono sang in the upper register of his range to add to the feeling of spiritual yearning; in the verses he hits a B note, and an A in the chorus.Background vocals were provided by The Edge, Lanois, and co-producer Brian Eno, their voices being multi-tracked. Lanois suggests that his and Eno's involvement in the track's creation aided in their background vocals. He stated, "You're not going to get that sound of, 'Oh they brought in some soul singers' if you know what I mean. Our hearts and souls are already there. If we sing it'll sound more real." The song's writing was completed relatively early during the band's time at Danesmoate. The mix was worked on for a while, though, with most of the production team contributing. The final mix was completed by Lanois and The Edge in a home studio set up at Melbeach, a house purchased by The Edge. They mixed it on top of a previous Steve Lillywhite mix, which gave the song a phasing sound.
Lanois says he is very attached to "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For" and has, on occasion, joined U2 on stage to perform it. The original "Weather Girls" demo, re-titled "Desert of Our Love", was included with the 2007 remastered version of The Joshua Tree on a bonus disc of outtakes and B-sides.

B-sides

"Spanish Eyes" was created early during The Joshua Tree sessions. It began as a recording made in Adam Clayton's house of Clayton, The Edge, and Larry Mullen Jr. playing around with several different elements.The piece evolved substantially over the course of an afternoon, but the casette and its recording was subsequently lost and forgotten. The Edge found the cassette towards the end of the album sessions and played it to the rest of the group. The band realised that it was a good track, but did not have enough time to complete it prior to The Joshua Tree's release.
"Deep in the Heart" stemmed from a three-chord piano piece Bono composed on the piano about the last time he had been in the family home on Cedarwood Road in Dublin, which his father had just sold.The memories of his time living there gave rise to many of the lyrical ideas on the song. The Edge and Adam Clayton reworked the piece extensively, with Bono later describing the finished result as "an almost jazz-like improvisation on three chords", also noting that "the rhythm section turned it into a very special piece of music." The song was recorded in a similar manner to the song "4th of July" from U2's 1984 album, The Unforgettable Fire; The Edge and Clayton were playing together in a room and unaware that they were being recorded on a 4-track cassette machine by the band's assistant, Marc Coleman.

Release

Initially, "Red Hill Mining Town" was planned for release as the second single. However, Bono was unable to sing the song during pre-tour rehearsals and the band were reportedly unhappy with the video shot by Neil Jordan, so "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For" became a late choice for the second single.The single was released in May 1987. On the US Billboard Hot 100, the song debuted at number 51 on 13 June 1987. After nearly 2 months on the chart, the song reached number one on 8 August 1987, becoming the band's second consecutive number-one hit in the United States. The song spent two weeks in the top spot, and remained on the chart for 17 weeks.On other Billboard charts, the song peaked at number 16 on the Adult Contemporary chart, and number two on the Album Rock Tracks chart.The song also topped the Irish Singles Chart,while peaking at number six on the on the Canadian RPM Top 100 and the UK Singles Chart.In New Zealand, the song peaked at number two on the RIANZ Top 40 Singles Chart, while reaching number six on the Dutch Top 40 and number 11 on the Swedish Singles Chart.

Music video

The music video for the song was filmed on Fremont Street in Las Vegas on 12 April 1987 following their Joshua Tree Tour concert in that city. It features the band members wandering around while The Edge played an acoustic guitar. The music video was later re-released on the U2 18 Videos compilation DVD. Pat Christenson, president of Las Vegas' official event organization, credits the group's video with improving the city's image amongst musicians. "The whole perception of Vegas changed with that video," Christenson said, adding, "Now all the big names come here, some of them five, six times a year.

Live performances

Island Records commissioned New York choir director, Dennis Bell, to a record a gospel version of the song, and Island intended to release it after U2's single. However, Island boss Chris Blackwell vetoed the plan saying that a second single would look like a money grab. Bell subsequently formed his own label and found a distributor for the song. While in Glasgow in late July 1987 during The Joshua Tree Tour, Rob Partridge of Island Records played the demo that Bell and his choir, The New Voices of Freedom, had made.In late September, U2 rehearsed with Bell's choir in Greater Calvary Baptist Church in Harlem for a performance together in a few days at U2's Madison Square Garden concert. The Edge's guitar was the only instrument that U2 brought to the church although Mullen borrowed a conga drum. The rehearsal was done with the church's audio system and footage was used in the Rattle and Hum motion picture. Several performances were made with a piano player; however, the version used in the film includes only Bono, The Edge, Mullen, and the choir. Audio from the the Madison Square Garden performance appears on the accompanying album.
A live performance of the song appears in the concert films PopMart: Live from Mexico City and Vertigo 05: Live from Milan, while another live version is also included in the track listing for the band's upcoming U2 360° at the Rose Bowl concert film. The versions on the Mexico City and Milan concert films comprise of just Bono's voice and The Edge's guitar until after the first chorus where the drum and bass parts kick in. Digital live versions were released through iTunes on the Love: Live from the Point Depot and U2.COMmunication albums.

Reception

"I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For" received praise from many critics. Hot Press journalist Bill Graham described the song as on the one-hand as a "smart job of pop handwork, pretty standard American radio rock-ballad fare" but that "the band's rhythms are far more supple and cultivated than your average bouffant HM band of that period".The Sunday Independent suggested that the song was proof the band could be commercially accessible, yet not resort to rock clichés. NME remarked that the song showed that the band cared about something, which made them "special". The Rocket noted that Bono's lyrics about needing personal spirituality resulted in a "unique marriage of American gospel and Gaelic soul" and that the "human perspective he brings to this sentiment rings far truer than the rantings of, say, the born-again Bob Dylan". Several publications, including The Bergen Record and The Boston Globe, called the track "hypnotic" and interpreted it as depicting the band on a spiritual quest.
In 2004, Rolling Stone magazine placed the song at #93 of its list of "The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time". In the same year, Los Angeles Times critic Robert Hilburn said it was U2's "Let It Be". The staff of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame selected "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For" as one of 500 Songs that Shaped Rock and Roll.

Cover Whitesnake Here I Go Again





Bienvenidos al blog, a partir de ahora si no se arregla el otro este será el blog oficial. Bueno han sido tantas cosas chulas en el de msn que da pena y más de 2.000.000 de visitas, las estadísticas de los comentarios no se, pero he disfrutado cada dia leyéndolos, era como leer el periódico diario de lo que haceis vosotros y me encanta. Bueno vamos con este.

Otra cover este viernes y aqui os dejo un poquito de wiki en inglés:

"Here I Go Again" is a song recorded by Whitesnake. Originally released on their 1982 album, Saints & Sinners, the song was re-recorded for their eponymous 1987 album Whitesnake. The song was re-recorded yet another time in 1987 in a new "radio" version. The 1987 version hit number one on the Billboard Hot 100 chart on October 10, 1987, and number nine on the UK Singles Chart on November 28, 1987. The 1987 version also hit number one on the Canadian Singles Chart on October 24, 1987. In 2006, the 1987 version was named the 17th Greatest Song of the 1980s by VH1.

The song was written by lead singer, David Coverdale, and former Whitesnake guitarist, Bernie Marsden. The most notable differences between the original and revamped version are the style of the music (blues-rock versus hard rock) and a slight change in the lyrics. The chorus of the original version features the lines:

"An' here I go again on my own
Goin' down the only road I've ever known
Like a hobo I was born to walk alone"
Whereas the newer version is:

"Like a drifter I was born to walk alone"
Whitesnake's Here I go again was featured as one of the greatest songs of the 80's on VH1

Y aqui la letra para que os la aprendais

don't know where I'm goin
but I sure know where I've been
hanging on the promises in songs of yesterday.
An' I've made up my mind, I ain't wasting no more time
but here I go again, here I go again.

Tho' I keep searching for an answer
I never seem to find what I'm looking for.
Oh Lord, I pray you give me strength to carry on
'cos I know what it means to walk along the lonely street of dreams.

Here I go again on my own
goin' down the only road I've ever known.
Like a drifter I was born to walk alone.
An' I've made up my mind, I ain't wasting no more time.

Just another heart in need of rescue
waiting on love's sweet charity
an' I'm gonna hold on for the rest of my days
'cos I know what it means to walk along the lonely street of dreams.

Here I go again on my own
goin' down the only road I've ever known.
Like a hobo I was born to walk alone.
An' I've made up my mind, I ain't wasting no more time
but here I go again, here I go again,
here I go again, here I go.

An' I've made up my mind, I ain't wasting no more time.

Here I go again on my own
goin' down the only road I've ever known.
Like a drifter I was born to walk alone
'cos I know what it means to walk along the lonely street of dreams.

Here I go again on my own
goin' down the only road I've ever known.
Like a drifter I was born to walk alone.
An' I've made up my mind, I ain't wasting no more time
but here I go again, here I go again,
here I go again, here I go,
here I go again

En breve todos cantandola juntos.
Un besoteeeeeeeeeeeeee

Premios ASCAP Latinos en Beverly Hill



Holaaaaaaaaaa la verdad estoy muy contenta en la entrega de los premios LAtin ASCAP en el sitio donde se celebran los Golden Globe Awards y disfrutando con otros escritores y compositores.
Ya he leido "Don't look away" esto era parte de la bio, pero la verdad esta interesante, me gusta porque además es muy importante no perder la mirada o mirar a otro lugar y enfrentar la vida, la realidad, los problemas, las alegrias, todo....me ha gustado y nunca se sabe. Bueno me da mucha alegria escuchar los nuevos bebes cuando salen a la luz, aunque es en forma de demo o de acústico, la verdad es que tengo una guardería entera y me encanta como canta (lo he puesto para que rimara, tanta composición jejejejejej).
Bueno en breve el cover que se está haciendo de rogar, pero una oración lleva su tiempo para que salga bien.
Os quiero muchooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
