Weekly Music Video

Today's video is Where I Belong by American rapper Busta Rhymes and featuring my favourite singer Mariah Carey. It's from Busta's 9th studio album Extinction Level: Event 2: The Wrath of God (The Deluxe Edition) which was released back in October. Extinction Level: Event 2 is a sequel to the 1998 album E.L.E (Extinction Level Event): The Final World Front.

The music video is actually a follow on to the one from I Know What You Want, Busta's 2003 single with Mariah and Busta's group Flipmode Squad.  It gives me nostalgic vibes! lol. If you want to watch the I Know What You Want video first, you can find it in my Top 10 Mariah Carey Songs post (No. 9): https://starsparklex.blogspot.com/2013/01/top-10-mariah-carey-songs.html

Or watch it directly on YouTube here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WDaNJW_jEBo&t=1s

P.S. Italian band MÃ¥neskin won Eurovision on Saturday, with the song Zitti E Buoni. The UK came last with zero points which was a shame. :( To be honest I don't think our song was that great, but no one deserves zero points, unless it was a really bad performance! Well done anyway James! :)

Sometimes it is also political and/or to do with how much a country is liked, but I haven't been keen on our entries for the past few years! I ended up voting for Azerbajian on the night which I hadn't previously heard/seen.  (I voted for Serbia in the 2nd Semi-Final.)

Anyway, I was glad to see it back and hopefully next year we can have a better song and result! :)

New Unexpected

We're finally getting the new season of the reality TV series Unexpected in the UK! Season 3 was shown in the US last summer , and I wondered when we'd get it here. I don't have any online streaming services so thought I'd just watch clips on YouTube, lol. However it's now starting here in early March. Similar to the popular MTV franchise Teen Mom , Unexpected focuses on teen parents. The first series featured 3 couples expecting babies- Lily Bennett and her boyfriend James Kennedy who have daughter Aaliyah, now 2;  Mckayla Adkins and partner Caelan Morrison who have son Timothy, also known as Timmy (and now daughter Gracelynn , born in January 2019), and  Lexus Scheller and boyfriend Shayden Massey who have daughter Scarlett. Season 2 saw the departure of Lilly and the addition of 3 new pregnant girls and their partners- Laura Barron and her boyfriend (now husband) Tylor Stawmyor who have son Lucas (and have since had another baby , a 2nd son, who is named Leo), ...

South Indian Videos

I've written several Bollywood posts this year but I don't feature South Indian music/films as much. So today I'm sharing some music and dance videos from Tollywood ( the Telugu language film industry) and Kollywood (the Tamil language film industry). :) Oo Antava Mawa- Pushpa- Dance Cover by Sonali First up is a dance cover of the song Oo Antava Mawa..Oo Oo Antava from the 2021 Tollywood film Pushpa: The Rise- Part 1 . I previously featured a dance cover of Oo Antava Mawa in a Dance Videos post in August last year. That one is by Rang De and you can see it here: https://starsparklex.blogspot.com/2023/08/dance-videos.html This cover is by Indian choreographer Sonali Bhaduria, from LiveToDance with Sonali and was uploaded in January 2022. It's a shorter video.   For more on Pushpa and to watch the official Oo Antava Mawa video, check out my Tollywood Videos Round-up 2 post from September 2023: https://starsparklex.blogspot.com/2023/09/tollywood-videos-round-up-2.html ...

20th Anniversary of Mariah's The Emancipation of Mimi Album- Part 1

My favourite singer Mariah Carey is celebrating the 20th Anniversary of her 10th studio album The Emancipation of Mimi. It was released back in April 2005. I'd planned to write just one post about the album but it was turning into a really long one, so I've decided to divide it into two parts! Here is Part 1. :) The Emancipation of Mimi (or TEOM for short!) was considered Mariah's "comeback album" at the time, following on from her previous two albums, Glitter (2001) which was accompanied by the film of the same name and Charmbracelet (2002). Neither the Glitter movie or album were very well received and after going through a difficult time in general, Mariah had an emotional and physical breakdown and checked into hospital that summer. She was diagnosed with bipolar II disorder , although didn't feel ready to speak about it pubicly until several years later .  Although Charmbracelet (MC's first release after leaving Virgin Records America and singing w...
