Weekly Music Video

Today's video is Crush by Bella Poarch and Lauv. Bella (real name Denarie Bautista Taylor) is a Filipino American social media influencer and singer. She was born in the Philippines, adopted by an American and Filipina couple aged 3 and later moved to America. Bella sadly had a difficult childhood, growing up in an abusive home. She has said that working on her first EP Dolls helped her to confront the trauma from her past.

Bella joined the US military in 2015, aged 17. After leaving, she entered the public eye in 2020 when she started posting gaming, cosplay and lip syncing on the social media platform TikTok. She went on to join YouTube and Twitter.

In May 2021, Bella launched her music career with the release of the single Build a B*tch, having signed a record deal with Warner Records. She released her debut EP Dolls in August 2022. Her other singles are Inferno with American singer Sub Urban, Dolls, Living Hell and Crush. 

Lauv (real name Ari Staprans Leff) is an American singer who has also built a career as a songwriter for other artists. The first song of his to gain attention (as a singer) was The Other, released in 2015 , which he co-wrote. He went on to release his debut EP Lost in the Light in September 2015. 

His breakthrough single was I Like Me Better, released in May 2017. A year later he brought out the compilation album/playlist I Met You When I Was 18 (The Playlist) and his debut album How I'm Feeling was released in March 2020.

To date Lauv has released 9 more EPs (the most recent being 2020's Without You), two remix albums and one more studio album, All 4 Nothing (2022). Artists he's worked with include American singer and songwriter Julia Michaels (who he also dated at one time) Australian singer Troye Sivan, British singer Anne-Marie, American band LANY and Korean boy band BTS.

Crush was released on 15th September. It's a lighthearted  pop song about how it's fun to have a crush rather than getting involved in a relationship. Please note that the song contains swearing. :)

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...
