Why Vin Diesel Is The Ultimate Actor

After seeing the trailer for XXX: Return of Xander Cage I'm excited for the new year of movies. Vin Diesel has definitely took his precious time creating art and preparing for this role. I fully expect him to deliver a jaw dropping performance as Xander Cage. Aren't you going to appreciate every minute?

Vin Diesel does an excellent job reprising roles. For instance, the Fast and Furious franchise is built around Vin Diesel's Dom character. You see the actor has an impressive filmography beyond the action genre. Now, I'm not saying he's Morgan Freeman but he is the quintessential actor.

His performance in Babylon A D was one for the ages (no pun intended). Have you seen the Last Witch Hunter? The movie is unlike anything else Vin Diesel has done. And who can forget about Furious 7? When it was all said and done, Furious 7 grossed over $1.5 billion at the box office.

His signature style and iconic look play a distinct part in his appeal. On the one hand, there's something calm and soothing about the Hollywood star. On the other hand, there's something exhilarating and breathtaking about him. Plus, Vin Diesel executes assignments and takes on an amazing approach.

Did you know he is the most liked actor on Facebook? That's right. Vin Diesel has amassed over 100 million fans.

Clearly, he has a genuine personality off camera or the fans wouldn't love him so much. Vin Diesel is a likable guy. Can you picture playing on his basketball or volleyball team? The 6'0” celebrity appears to have a perfect body for sports. Let's go golfing with the celebrity.

Who wants to play a game of Texas Hold 'Em with Vin Diesel? You won't be able to read his face, no matter how hard you try. Chances are high that you'll lose every hand. Vin Diesel has proven he is the ultimate actor.

Why Him? Movie Review

Why Him? Movie Review

If you want to laugh your ass off, then watch Why Him?. It is a must-see comedy movie. But let me warn you about the vulgar language. Goodie-twoshoes should stay away because James Franco curses up a storm. Nevertheless, the movie lives up to the hype.

Why Him? is about a smalltown girl named Stephanie from Michigan (played by Zoey Deutch) who falls in love with a wealthy wild California computer guy (played by James Franco), while she attends Stanford. Her parents have no idea who she's dating. All they know is that Christmas will be spent in California because their daughter invited them. And boy, does this young man have plans for their daughter.

James Franco plays the lead role (Laird). Laird isn't your stereotypical computer genius. He loves making video games and he loves making love. Laird lives in a mansion with a gatehouse. Buffalos walk around freely on his property. He's a straightarrow and that's why he is misunderstood.

He plans on marrying Stephanie, but he wants permission from her father first. Bryan Cranston plays the role of father (Ned). Cranston puts on a memorable performance. You'll love the climax when Ned finally has had it up to here with Laird.

You see Laird has won over everybody except Ned. First of all, he makes a bad first impression. Secondly, Laird makes a bad second impression. Ned doesn't like the multimillionaire for a variety of reasons. I won't discuss the main reason because I don't want to spoil it for you.

This may be the funniest movie I've seen all year. It is a 5 star comedy. James Franco and Zoey Deutch are a believable couple. You couldn't ask for a more perfect union.

The script was well-written. The acting was phenomenal. I would definitely watch it again. You should see it and laugh your ass off too.

Collateral Beauty Movie Review

Collateral Beauty Movie Review

Collateral Beauty starring Will Smithcaptivates the audience. The film takes you on a journey of discovery. You discover the characters one by one and the story is put together piece by piece. You're given all that you need from beginning to end. Not a word is wasted.

Collateral Beauty is about a man (Will Smith) coping with the death of his young daughter. Fortunately, he has built a thriving advertising business. But all the money in the world won't bring his daughter back to life.

To cope with the unthinkable (losing a child), Howard played by Smith writes and mails letters to 3 abstracts: Love, Time, and Death. A private investigator opens them and reveals the details to his colleagues. Howard is effectively ambushed by his colleagues who stage an intervention to question his competency.

The plot involves subplots such as a woman's biological clock, a man's fight with cancer, and a father's bond with his daughter. Actors literally play a key role in the movie, because the colleagues hire actors to play Love, Time, and Death. The movie has many twists and turns. I guarantee you'll love it.

Will Smith delivers a powerful performance. His part alone makes the movie an eye opening experience. Give credit to amazing direction and incredible cinematography. No doubt the screenwriting is brilliant. Overall, I give the movie an A.

Plus, the movie showcases a dynamic cast. Edward Norton, Kate Winslet, and Michael Pena were excellent additions. Let's not forget about Keira Knightley, who never looks a day over 25. They say she always gets her beauty sleep.

Collateral Beauty is about recognizing Death and staring her in the face. Accept the things you can't change. And change what you can. What is more, come to grips that death is a natural part of life. Live your life abudantly, so that you can die peacefully. In the event, something unexpected happens, realize the collateral beauty.

Country music fans were treated to awesomeness in 2016. This year couldn't have been better for country. There were literally dozens of great releases. What beats Blake Shelton's She's Got A Way With Words? Keep reading and find out. In this edition, I will name the top 5 country music songs of 2016. Without further ado, let's start the countdown.

5. Setting the World on Fire By: Kenny Chesney Featuring Pink

Can Kenny Chesney make a hit or what? The man never swings at balls. What is more, he hits homeruns on music's diamond. Setting the World on Fire starts the countdown because it's my theme music. When you don't know what to do, set the world on fire. Find someone special to do it with and you're all set. Chesney smartly picked Pink to feature. Who are you picking?

4. Dirty Laundry By: Carrie Underwood

The perfect 10 singerdoesn't mind doing dirty laundry. She'll just have to hang you out to dry. Dirty Laundry is my favorite 2016 single by Carrie Underwood. She sings with a lot of passion.

Don't you love Carrie? She knows how to please fans. Her vocals are on another scale. I encourage you to listen to Dirty Laundry.

3. May We All By: Florida Georgia Line Featuring Tim McGraw

Florida Georgia Line is making waves in country music. They understand their fans and vice versa. Teaming up with Tim McGraw was an intelligent move. Moreover, May We All contains a strong message. You see life is a race and sometimes you got to pull your foot off the gas and put it on the break. I can't think of many more 2016 songs as awesome as May We All.

2. She's Got A Way With Words By: Blake Shelton

2^nd on my list is She's Got A Way With Words By: Blake Shelton. The Voice coach has trained his voice to reach higher degrees. There's something chilly and hot about She's Got A Way With Words. This could have easily been the number one song. Blake belts out this ballad with fire on his tongue. You'd think he were a dragon.

1. Middle of A Memory By: Cole Swindell

The number one country song of 2016 is Cole Swindell's Middle of A Memory. I believe this is Cole Swindell at his absolute best. Even William Shakespeare couldn't have written more eloquent lyrics. Plus, the instrumental tells a story of its own. If you have ever been in love, you want to play Middle of a Memory right now.

This is it for the Top 5 country music songs of 2016. Thank you for reading. I hope you enjoyed.

Top 5 Pop Songs of 2016

2016 was an awesome year in music history. Everyone from casual listeners to music buffs were clearly entertained. Beyonce and Justin Timberlake both have demonstrated why they are still on top of the pop charts. On this special day, I will countdown my top 5 favorite pop songs this year. Enjoy!

5. 24 K Magic By: Bruno Mars

When I first heard this song, I didn't like it that much. However, something magical happened the second time. I saw Bruno Mars perform 24 K Magic live on Saturday Night Live and my mind changed instantly. This song easily makes my top list now, because Bruno's techniques are legendary. Nothing beats the singer's vocals at their best.

24 K Magic gets the party started better than the Black Eyed Peas Let's Get It Started. I like it more than Uptown Funk. You see Bruno Mars is a dangerous man with some money in his pocket and you gotta keep up or you'll get lost. Moreover, the lyrics are exciting.

4. Starboy By: The Weeknd

I can't say anything bad about the Weeknd. Starboy shows why The Weeknd is a star. Did you catch his Victoria's Secret Fashion Show performance? He stole the spotlight from supermodels. The Weeknd doesn't hold anything back. He's a dangerous man with some money in his pocket too. Check out Bruno Mars Vs. The Weeknd for an interesting comparison.

3. This Is What You Came For By: Calvin Harris Featuring Rihanna

I listen to This Is What You Came For every other day because Calvin Harris generates electric music. You need this celebrity like you need electricity. Boldly, I dare say that Calvin Harris is a modern day Elton John. Plus, his collaborations are always genius. Calvin finds the right vocals and mixes it with the right instruments. His calculations are never off a fraction.

2. Work By: Rihanna Featuring Drake

Does everybody love listening to Work By: Rihanna or what? The repetition, the beat, and the rhythm are 3 things that make this song worth it's weight in gold. It is a priceless masterpiece of a song. Rihanna is obviously one of my favorite pop singers. And this is my favorite song by her. Rihanna is someone else I can't speak a bad word about. Work is amazing!

1. Perfect Illusion By: Lady Gaga

Lady Gaga earns the number one spot on my countdown. Perfect Illusion came out at the perfect time. Gaga has shown throughout the years she isn't a one hit wonder. What is more, Perfect Illusion broke the Internet. Apparently, YouTube crashed as a result of this video's release. I choose Perfect Illusion By: Lady Gaga because the song has a certain intrinsic value. Only Lady Gaga could do it.

Honorable Mentions: Formation By: Beyonce and Can't Stop the Feeling By: Justin Timberlake

This concludes my top 5 pop songs of 2016. What are yours?

The Longevity of Willie Nelson and Tony Bennett

BY: GURU JAY

The Longevity of Willie Nelson and Tony Bennett

I like Willie Nelson because of his longevity. The man is 83 and performs as if he were still 33. We've got to respect the legends while they're still here. It's just like giving grandpa his respect during the Holidays. Now, wouldn't it be cool if Willie were your grandpa? Did you know Willie was raised by his grandparents?

Imagine snow sledding with Willie on a November night in Aspen, Colorado. We would visit Dolly Parton and paint the town red together. Just because he's an outlaw doesn't mean we'll get into trouble. The outlaw might get us into a lot of fun.

I'm getting older myself and I've been noticing things, you know. I've seen singers turn into legends and legends die. Rest in peace David Bowie. Moreover, I've seen legends live also. Tony Bennett just turned 90 in August. This guy was around with Frank Sinatra.

Photos By: Wikimedia Commons

Bennett is one of the oldest active entertainers alive. I want to be 100 years old and still blogging. Plus, I want to be rocking hard like Mick Jagger. Right now, I've got them moves like Jagger.

Willie Nelson and Tony Bennett are living legends. When Tony Bennett walks in a room he's supposed to receive a standing ovation automatically. Willie Nelson shouldn't have to go to jury duty or court, even if he shot the sheriff; because in the words of Bob Marley it was self defense.

All I am saying is we must honor the elders of music. They opened the doors yesterday for today's celebrities. Where would Garth Brooks be without Willie Nelson? Doesn't Blake Shelton echo Willie's sound? And don't you see Michael Buble and Harry Connick Jr. bowing down to Tony?

Tony Bennett and Willie Nelson came a long way. Bennett almost died from a cocaine overdose. Nelson has been arrested more than a handful of times. At the end of the day, everybody makes mistakes. The key is to learn from them and to keep making them. Just don't keep making the same ones.

Can Jason Derulo Compete With Chris Brown?

Can Jason Derulo compete with Chris Brown?

Why isn't Jason Derulo a bigger name? Thankfully, New Year's Rockin' Eve has recognized his greatness. Jason Derulo and Panic! at the Disco are scheduled to perform on the annual special according to Billboard.

Now, maybe Jason Derulo isn't a bigger name because he hasn't dated Rihanna. Or you could say he isn't as talented as Chris Brown; but I don't think that's the case. I believe Jason is a bonafide entertainer, who doesn't rely on luck.

Although Derulo doesn't have as many collaborations with superstars like Chris Brown, he's still a superstar. The entertainment industry requires patience. What is more, greatness takes time to develop. In due time, Jason's name will light up in big words on Usher's level. You see his style and career compares favorably with Usher.

Jason Derulo already has a big name at 27 years old. And it's only going to get bigger in 2017. Landing a major contract deal with New Year's Rockin' Eve means the world, believe me.

I learned about Jason Derulo because I'm a huge Jordin Sparks fan. Now although their relationship didn't work out, I won't penalize Jason for it. You see, the entertainment business will break your heart if you let it. Celebrities date celebrities because coworkers date coworkers. And they breakup for the same reasons.

Everything is a learning process. And Jason Derulo has learned the definitions of patience and greatness. Every time, he takes the stage you'll notice the purpose in his eyes. Nothing about this guy is mediocre.

Moreover, the Want to Want Me singer is on every woman's Christmas list. You should see this singer rehearse. He sings with passion and that's the bottom line. Somebody told me if you do what you love to do, you will never work a day in your life. Jason Derulo is living the good life.

He can compete with Chris Brown or anybody for that matter.

What Are the Top 10 Christmas Songs?

What Are the Top 10 Christmas Songs?

Feliz Navidad

Jose Feliciano wants to wish you a Merry Christmas from the bottom of his heart. Feliz Navidad is one of my favorite Christmas songs because Jose Feliciano sings his heart out. You must admire passionate people. There aren't many more passionate songs Christmas or otherwise than Feliz Navidad.

Jingle Bell Rock

I came to love Jingle Bell Rock from a widely popular Christmas movie called Home Alone. Who remembers the classic scene starring Macaulay Culkin? Nothing beats Bobby Helms' original version.

Walking In A Winter Wonderland

Michael Buble's version transforms sound. I highly recommend listening to his entire Christmas album. Check out why Michael Buble is a supermoon.

This Christmas

You haven't fully enjoyed This Christmas without hearing from Chris Brown. Chris Brown takes Christmas to another level with his one of a kind voice.

Chestnuts Roasting On an Open Fire

Nat King Cole- Chestnuts Roasting On an Open Fire remains a popular Christmas carol inside millions of households. Families everywhere love listening to Cole's classically deep voice. Are you roasting chestnuts on an open fire this Christmas?

All I Want For Christmas Is You

All I want for Christmas is to listen to All I Want For Christmas Is You By: Mariah Carey. This is considered to be the #1 Christmas song by experts and fans the same. Congrats to Mariah Carey on Mariah's World.

I Wish It Was Christmas Today

After many years of watching Saturday Night Live, I discovered I Wish It Was Christmas Today. It's one of the coolest Christmas songs to date. The song by Julian Casablancas is modern and fun. Sometimes I sing this song in January, in anticipation for Christmas; because in all honesty I want Christmas everyday.

Silent Night

Silent Night might be old-fashioned but this captures what Christmas truly means. What is Christmas without love? When you're fretting over what to give that special one on Christmas, why don't you try giving love. What is more lovely than Silent Night sang by Kelly Clarkson and Reba McIntire?

O Holy Night

Here's another song with timeless lyrics. This Christmas carol sets the mood right during the Holidays. I particularly love the YouTube version by Celine Dion, Whitney Houston, and Mariah Carey.

Joy to the World

Finally, Joy to the World completes my list of Top 10 Christmas songs. In this cruel world, people need to smile. There are many choices of Joy to the World. What's your favorite?

Bringing Spice Girls Back Into Our Lives

BY: GURU JAY

It's an emergency. We're in the E.R. Room right now. Guru Jay is about to resuscitate the Spice girls. Call it a reunion if you will.

I know what I'm doing. I spent time studying under the best doctors, although I don't have a medical degree; I'm a Guru damn it. I'm the greatest one you know in fact. I've mediated to the music of Dr. Dre. I'm sure you seen some of my Tweets #GuruJay.

Let's not digress from the matter at hand. I've got lives to save. I'll start with Mel B (Scary Spice) first because she's a judge on America's Got Talent; and you know, I scout talent with an eagle eye .

Mel B has 1.06 million Twitter followers, along with 265,000 Facebook likes. She's made a name for herself ever since the Spice Girls broke up in early 2000. Do you follow her on Twitter and like her on Facebook?

Next up is Mel C (Sporty Spice). Did you know she sold over 500,000 copies of her Reason album? She's one of my favorites because her voice melts my heart. Nowadays, the Capricorn is keeping a low profile but I expect this to change pretty soon.

The third Spice girl I will resuscitate is Emma Bunton (Baby Spice). I think she's a wonderful actress. Emma delivers amazing performances in some of Bollywood's best movies. You should check them out. Moreover, she has the voice for radio and the face for TV. She has hosted the Saturday Show since 2009. Plus Emma presents Breakfast with Jamie Theakston.

Fourth is Geri Halliwell (Ginger Spice). She's enjoying the Spice of her life- Christian Horner. They married in 2015.

Last but not least, I will resuscitate Victoria Beckham (Posh Spice). Can you believe she's still married to David Beckham? She's built a name as a major fashion designer.

Now that they're all resuscitated they can go on their reunion tour.

Who Does It Better Than Bon Jovi?

Who Does It Better Than Bon Jovi?

Photo By:Wikimedia Commons

Who does it better than Bon Jovi? Born in 1983, the group outflanks all competitors. Bon Jovi knows how to put their best foot forward.

What's on your playlist? I listen to You Give Love A Bad Name all the time. I also have Livin' on a Prayer added on there. After all, in this cruel world isn't everybody livin' on a prayer. “Take my hand we'll make it I swear.”

Bon Jovi speaks to the soul. The members are like priests performing exorcisms with their music. These celebrities take the time to put their blood, sweat, and tears into their songs.

The I'll Be There For You band has constantly topped the charts. With 2.35 million Twitter followers and counting, they sell records from Johannesburg to New England. They also put up big numbers at shows.

You see Bon Jovi's performances spark wonders. You can count on Jon Bon Jovi to stretch his voice to the seventh heaven. David Bryan may not be as famous as Luke Bryan but he can pick the keys one by one. And don't get me started on Tico Torres. Saying that Tico Torres bangs the drum better than most is an understatement. Hugh Mcdonald doesn't make a mistake on the bass. Finally, the blazing guitar of Phil X completes the recipe that is all of Bon Jovi.

To answer my question, no one does it better than Bon Jovi.

Bruno Mars Vs. The Weeknd

BY: GURU JAY

Bruno Mars Vs. The Weeknd

CBS aired the annual Victoria's Secret Fashion Show last night at 10 PM. All eyes were watching the models strut the stage. And all ears were listening to the lullabies of Lady Gaga, Bruno Mars, and The Weeknd.

Overall, I enjoyed seeing the sights from Paris on my HD TV screen. I can only imagine how nice it would be to see the show in 3D or going to the show live in person. Many celebrities were in attendance. It was great entertainment. Bruno Mars and The Weeknd showed up big time.

The question I want to know is Bruno Mars still better than The Weeknd. I believe The Weeknd may have usurp Bruno Mars in popularity. For the record, I consider Bruno to be the best singer in the entertainment business. Who can deny his vocal ability?

Bruno is even a better entertainer than the Weeknd. However, the Weeknd wins right now because of his undeniable style. Plus, his lyrics from his latest album are better than Bruno's 24 K magic. Side to side, I would rather listen to the Weeknd's Starboy album simply for the well-written verses. Still, they have both created hot beats with their new sounds.

The Weeknd currently holds 2 Guinness World Records. He has the most streamed album on Spotify in 1 year. Plus, he holds the record for most consecutive weeks in the Top 10 of Billboard's Hot 100 by a Solo Male Artist.

Do you doubt that the famous Canadian and Hawaiian will be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame one day? Who will get a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame first? The Bruno Mars/ The Weeknd rivalry is real. They probably dream about each other.

Can you picture Bruno Mars leading a marching band? What if the Weeknd played the electric guitar? All I'm saying is that anything is possible.

2016 AMAs Recap

BY: GURU JAY

2016 AMAs Recap

Last year's AMAs may have been the best ever. What's better than the best? This year the AMAs tried to do the impossible and succeeded.

Hats off to Gigi Hadid and Jay Pharaoh for hosting. Hadid was hot as ever and Pharaoh was funny as hell. It was an interesting combination.

Plus, let's acknowledge Bruno Mars' grand entrance. Bruno Mars displayed master showmanship. You must have loved those incredible dance moves he stuck. He didn't miss a beat. And he didn't miss a note singing either.

Fans were treated to an amazing show. Fifth Harmony immediately grabbed everybody's attention. They showed the world why they are the fabulous five last night.

The Weeknd made his triumph return. And it seemed like Drake took home every award imaginable. It was nice seeing fellow Canadians Justin Bieber (via Europe tour) and Shawn Mendes perform.

Niall Horan did his number. Lady Gaga did her thing. Robert Downey Jr. did a tribute to Sting.

You had all the Hollywood stars there.

One could argue Sunday night belonged to Green Day. Other big winners included Twenty One Pilots, Selena Gomez, Ariana Grande and the Chainsmokers. Talk about sensational. Twenty One Pilots turned the stage into an airplane.

What were your favorite moments from last night's AMAs? Do you think Jennifer Lopez set the bar to high for the new hosts? Were you highly entertained or did you snooze away? What didn't you like?

I think Shawn Mendes Treat You Better could have been better. It was just okay if I'm being honest. However, his Mercy performance was above average border lining great. I believe he was a bit nervous.

Overall, you can't underestimate the entertainment value of the AMAs. From Lady Gaga to Sting, every performance had exceptional merit. We may not have liked everything but we can agree on some things. For one thing the AMAs were very entertaining.

Why Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson Is On Top Of The World

BY: GURU JAY

Photo By: Wikimedia Commons

2016 has been a great year for Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson so far. According to Forbes, he is the highest paid actor- racking in a grand total of $64.5 million. It sounds like he hit the jackpot, doesn't it? Plus, People magazine named him Sexiest Man Alive.

Right now, The Rock is on top of the world. His new movie Moana hits theaters on November 23^rd. Credit his “old” movie San Andreas for bringing home most of the bacon last year. Without a doubt, Dwayne Johnson shakes things up whenever possible and slices matters with his muscles for an added bonus.

He's capable of starring in action, drama, and comedy. Action movie Furious 7 is one of my favorite films. Rest in peace Paul Walker. His chemistry with Vin Diesel is amazing. Who remembers the dramatic Gridiron Gang featuring Xzibit? Have you seen the very funny Central Intelligence?

Dwayne Johnson has a long road behind and in front of him. He's come a long way since his World Wrestling Entertainment days. On a side note, who could forget: If you smell what the Rock is cooking? What is more, the 44 year old is only scratching the surface of his potential greatness.

I highly recommend watching Hercules. Hercules showcases The Rock's strengths, literally. Indeed, the celebrity is physically fit but let's not forget his acting strength as well. It takes a certain degree of skill in order to consistently score big and win fans over at the box office.

Maybe, 2017 may be an even better year for Dwayne Johnson than 2016. Fast 8, Baywatch, and Jumanji are highly anticipated movies debuting next year. I hope you stick around for more fun at Guru Jay. If you enjoyed reading this post, check out How Dwayne Johnson and Will Smith Made Their Names Famous.

Should Camila Cabello Launch Solo Career?

Should Camila Cabello Launch Solo Career?

Photo By: Wikimedia Commons

Right now, the best thing about Fifth Harmony is Camila Cabello. She is the talk of the town. Everyone wants to know if the songstress will start a solo career. I believe a Fifth Harmony breakup is inevitable. The real question is when will Camila gear up her launching pads.

For the record, I urge Fifth Harmony to stay the course because the female group could be bigger than both Destiny's Child and the Spice Girls. However, I understand logistics and the music industry. Managing 1 ego in showbiz opposed to 5 is a lot simpler, don't you agree? Plus, the record label would have an easier time splitting the money 4 ways.

Can you imagine Fifth Harmony without Camila Cabello though? What would they sound and look like without the lead singer? Who would takeover as the new face of the team? Clearly, this young entertainer has made a major name for herself in a short span of time.

I'm also on record saying if the celebrity can become another Beyonce then by all means let's break them up. Let's not stay together for the sake of an Al Green song. Jokes aside, Guru Jay is all about promoting the crème de la crème in entertainment. Senorita Cabello has proven she's worth it.

Now we can blame Shawn Mendes or Machine Gun Kelly. We can point fingers at Taylor Swift and others. But what good would that do?

We can compare the 5'2” Latina with Zayn. If Zayn hadn't left One Direction, then Pillowtalk would have never been a smashing hit. Aren't you interested in what this Cubana can do on her own?

We've seen Selena (Mexico), Shakira (Colombia). Maybe, it's time for Camila *Cuba.

After spending time reading the tea leaves, I've determined Camila Cabello is determined to leave Fifth Harmony and launch a solo career for the betterment of entertainment.

Is Michael Bublé Music's Supermoon?

Is Michael Bublé music's supermoon?

Michael Bublémay be the best Christmas season singer of all time. He compares favorably with the likes of Frank Sinatra, Nat King Cole, and Mariah Carey. Without question, his Christmas album makes Guru Jay's top 5. What more does Michael Bubléhave left to prove?

Plus, as a singer/celebrity his star power shines/glows like a supermoon. For some reason, whenever it snows I think about Bublé. Does he build a compelling case for mother nature and environmental lovers to consume or what? You must love how much the I Believe In You celebrity believes in you all- his fans.

Additionally, The Nobody But Me singer understands how to be himself in front of many others. He doesn't mind being selfish sometimes, which is a good thing. Now, arrogance is another thing all together. He doesn't currently lead 2.43 million Twitter followers by accident.

Moreover, this talented Canadian born musician has won 4 Grammys. Did you know Bubléis a naturalized Italian citizen as well? In other words, his music literally has international reach and global appeal.

“Don't know what the country's coming to. But in Rome do as the Romans do. Will you on an evening in Roma.” Dean Martin said it best: Sott'er Celo De Roma, but Michael Bublé's version is still great.

According to NASA, skywatchers haven't seen a supermoon this close since 1948. Likewise, music enthusiasts won't hear of another Michael Bubléfor generations. Maybe, Michael Bublé really is music's supermoon.

Harry Connick Jr. and the New Orleans Connection

BY: GURU JAY

Photo By: Wikimedia Commons

Have you seen Harry Connick Jr.'s new talk show? The former American Idol judge hosts the self-titled Harry show. It's a fun and upbeat show similar to Ellen DeGeneres's The Ellen Show.

I've seen Harry multiple times. I watched him today right before TMZ Live. Maureen McCormick from the Brady Bunch was his main guest. Everybody in attendance had a good time. Plus, the viewers at home (including me) were pleased.

Near the end of the recording, Harry performed a beautiful song and played the piano. Few people in TV and showbiz are multitalented. What is more, no one can deny his masterful skills.

Born and bred in New Orleans, this celebrity's calling card is his likability. Everybody loves Raymond and Harry too. Connick Jr. possesses the pizzazz. Like Bradley Cooper, he mixes up the gumbo. The secret ingredient is charisma.

Good Morning America's Michael Strahan was bestowed the same gift. I call this the Like Factor. All Harry has to do is smile a little. That's all. And, he'll possibly replace Billy Bush on the Today show.

Millions of people all around the world want entertainment value with their viewership. They need personalities to latch unto, identify with, and support. Now that Oprah's retired, fans crave evermore.

I feel Harry Connick Jr.'s talk show might not last 5 seasons, but his brand will last 5 more decades. They will compare him to Tony Bennett. The question is who will be his Lady Gaga.

How It Ends

You hardly ever see someone making strides, leaps, and bounds in both music and TV. Without question, his name belongs on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. He's too talented to be put on the back burner.

You see, Harry Connick Jr. succeeds because he's well connected. Harry Connick Jr. succeeds because of the New Orleans connection. Ellen, Lil Wayne, and all the money makers were born and bred there.

The 1-2-3 of Music: Elvis, Michael Jackson, and Prince

BY: GURU JAY

1.

Music makes the world go 'round. Hear what I'm saying, now. Everything can potentially become music to your ears. The way she speaks to you in that special tone is music. The way our car engine rumbles is music.

Guru Jay thinks he has figured out the world. Let me elaborate some more. Let's start the show!

Today's blog is all about music and greatness. Who is the greatest music artist? Maybe, Elvis, Michael Jackson, and Prince in that order.

A better question is who's music makes the world go 'round the most. I feel that's a difficult question to answer because first of all what defines the world? Are we living under the same sun but in two different worlds?

I've climbed a different mountain than you. I've seen Hollywood stars through a different set of lens. Did you know I wear glasses? Not prescription but sunglasses because I'm cool. And you ladies and gents are the coolest fans on the Planet Earth. I know I've got some cool fans on Mars by now. Shout out to Elon Musk and Google.

Put it to you this way. Like Elvis, I can't help falling in love with you and some things are meant to be. You're meant to read GuruJay.com right now.

Where are my Michael Jackson fans? You all are the most precious on the globe. Happy Belated Halloween! Because this is “Thriller, Thriller, Night. You're fighting for your life!”

Maybe, Prince was the greatest because he owned all his work. The artist known by a symbol was a true businessman. He left behind wealth in terms of financial and musical.

Maybe, nobody can be better than Elvis. In total, Elvis sold approximately 1 billion records. So it's safe to say if alive he would be a billionaire. What is more, he has nearly 1 billion fans. It seems like there a billion Presley impersonators. Plus,the Blue Suede shoe salesman leads a quarter million Twitter followers.

Michael Jackson has 76 million Facebook likes. Prince made Purple Rain and the rest is history. To conclude, I've come to a conclusion that Elvis, Michael Jackson and Prince made the world go 'round with their music.

Amy Winehouse: Music Industry's Angel

Amy Winehouse: Music Industry's Angel

Amy Winehouse was England's Janis Joplin. Without question, Amy is singing with the angels now. Winehouse and Joplin may very well be recording duets produced by Saint Peter himself.

The legendary songstress established a legacy of greatness. This celebrity was one of a kind in a full house of Hollywood stars. You see the spotlight shined on her everyday. Also, no one can question her amazing abilities.

I highly recommend Amy (2015) because the documentary film showcases the entertainer's originality. You'll like how the music artist became unique. Plus, you'll appreciate her vocals much better after seeing this expert performer go to work.

At her peak, she wasn't more popular than Britney Spears; but that didn't matter. All that matters is the music she gave to the world. And the music she gave was a life of empathy and kindness.

In a sense, Amy's name is synonymous with music. Scratch that. Amy means music in every language!Plus, like Lady Gaga the young lady was fearless and she made bold moves.

Winehouse passionately crooned. Maybe, she was best known for Back to Black or back to Rehab. So the story goes...In her own words to paraphrase a bit “Yes I been black but when I come back...they tried to make me go to rehab. I won't go.” She said NO NO to celebrity rehab.

What Chuck Berry is to Rock and Roll, what Bono is to U2, Amy Winehouse was to Neo Soul. She developed new sounds in the studio booth and on the concert stage. Who can deny Amy Winehouse her legendary status? She rightfully claimed her throne in England like Janis did in America.

In a nutshell, Amy meant the world to the music industry because she pioneered a creative sound. Her vocal chords stretch toward the heavens. It is my honor and privilege to write this tribute to a great soul.

Keeping Up with the Joneses Movie Review

Keeping Up with the Joneses Movie Review

Where's Guru Jay been you say? I was on vacation because everybody is entitled to a break. Thank you for giving me one.

Well do I have a blog for you today or what. This is my Keeping Up with the Joneses movie review. For starters,I feel the writing is phenomenal.

It's like a full course meal in every way. Zach Galifianakis performs above expectation. And that guy...ahem from Mad Men Jon Hamm delivers the good and services on a silver platter.

You must love the cool soundtrack. I sure do. Here's a movie about change. We all go through changes. I had to change a tire the other day.

Plus, it is a movie filled with laughter from start to finish. The comedy is absurd at times. You'll love rich scenes and suspenseful moments. I thoroughly enjoy the plot, especially the tongue teaser. There are Snakes BUT not on a plane.

To put things in perspective, I saw it today. Yes the day of the World Series. If you've been following my Twitter @IamGuruJay you know I love baseball by now.

Anyway, the movie stars shine bright lights. The acting is great. Overall, I liked my day at the theaters. There were many thespians there in my audience.

And it's the audience's response that makes a movie or a blog or a website fantastic. While I'm on the word fantastic, the director did a fantastic job. And the producers made the most out of their budget.

If you want to see a crowd-pleaser, then Keeping Up with the Joneses is your movie. After careful consideration, I give the film editing an A-. It is truly excellent entertainment. There are bad actors and some I assume good.

This is well executed and lively. Here's something I would watch with my family for a second time. Give it three stars out of five.

Rotten Tomatoes got it wrong. Keeping Up with the Joneses should make $100 million in a fair world. Will it make it that far? I don't have an answer for you. I'm only a Guru,who knows one thing and one thing only and that is...question everything.
