Weekly Music Video

This week the video is Çatı Katı by Turkish singer Gökhan Türkmen . I can't find information on him in English but according to the Turkish Wikipedia (Vikipedi) and his official Facebook page he has released 3 albums, Biraz Ayrılık (2012)   Büyük Ä°nsan (2013) and En BaÅŸtan (2014) and an EP, Ara (2012) . (Click the link on Gökhan's name for his Vikipedi entry). Çatı Katı was uploaded on 7th February, so I'm guessing it was released round about then. En BaÅŸtan came out on 13th February. Update 30/4/19: Had to replace the video.

Dance Videos

Recently I came across a dance video on YouTube (in my recommendations) of a girl called Kaycee Rice. I found this other video of Kaycee dancing with her partner Gabe De Guzman. It's called Monster and it's an interesting dance, it seemed a bit strange to me at first (lol) but it's good. Kaycee and Gabe are in the 11 year old age category  in this video and the dance style is hip hop. Kaycee became an internet sensation at 10, when the video of her doing a solo called Werk (the one I was recommended) was posted on Twitter by singer Katy Perry. You can read the article and watch the video here: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-2345230/EXCLUSIVE-Katy-Perrys-Tiny-Dancer-How-superstar-turned-little-girl-internet-sensation.html Kaycee is from Simi Valley in California and dances at Studio 13 Dance , which is owned by her mum Laura Rice. She does a variety of dance styles including hip hop, lyrical and jazz. Some of Kaycee's routines were choreographed by Tric...

Top 10 Songs

I've been thinking of doing a post of my my Top 10 favourite songs for ages and I finally got round to it! lol. It wasn't really an easy task to narrow it down because I like a lot of songs, but I decided on the list in the end. So here they are. :) Update 12/9/18: Had to replace a couple of these videos because they'd been deleted. 1. Mariah Carey- Honey This is my favourite Mariah song. :) It was the first single from her 1997 album Butterfly. I included Honey in my Top 10 Mariah Songs post which you can read here: https://starsparklex.blogspot.com/2013/01/top-10-mariah-carey-songs.html                                        2.
