Weirdo Wednesday: Britney Spears

  This is the exact same face when I hear Britney Spears on X Factor.
  I have been a huge fan of X Factor this season, the singers and bands that come onto X Factor have been pretty good. I am a big Demi Lovato fan and Simon Cowell has been my favorite judge since his days on American Idol, but Britney Spears has to go.
  Britney Spears talks a lot and when she comments on someone's audition she is very slow and annoying. Britney Spears barely gives a reason for her not liking someone, when she says no it usually is two or three words.
  Throughout every episode I have seen she looks and sounds high, it definitely disappoints me because I was always a fan of her music.
  You don't hear anything these days about Britney Spears in the magazines or on the internet, I'm not sure if that's good and it means that she has finally become a good mom to her boys and has finally gotten her act together, or if it means that nobody cares anymore.
  Britney has talent, adorable children, and a fiance who is always around, at least longer then the last one. I hope that she changes a little bit because when she starts to talk on X Factor I just want to mute the TV. Anyone else agree?

Tunes Tuesday: Blow Me (One Last Kiss)

  I am not a fan of this song, Pink's voice sounds very awkward in this song. It goes super high and it gives me a headache. At parts of the new hit single I can't understand what Pink is saying, sounds foreign. I usually am a fan of Pink's music, but this one makes me sad because it's annoying and awful. 

  The music video is all in black in white with an occasional red color splash. The beginning of the video has credits that aren't in English which bothers me. 

  I'm not sure what this song is about besides the fact the Pink is having a really bad day. She is with a man until he takes a phone call, then that same man purposes to a different girl. Poor Pink can't catch a break, but just so you know walking around in lingerie isn't going to make anything better.

  I don't get the music video and the song is not my favorite. Do you like it?

Movie Monday: What to Expect When You're Expecting

  I'm just going to get straight to my opinion on this comedy. I did not like it, like I thought I would. It was stupid humor that I didn't find funny at all, and it was kind of disgusting.
  This movie is about a bunch of people who don't really know each other at all, getting pregnant and adopting and so forth. Some of the new mom's find being pregnant easy and remain beautiful, while other new mom's can't stand being pregnant any longer. Each couple in the movie represents a different type of couple, but they all have one thing in common, they are all going through a lot of ups and downs in this film.
  My favorite couple in the film would probably have to be Jennifer Lopez and Rodrigo Santoro, they are adopting a new child from Ethiopia. Throughout the movie they argue, have financial problems, and doubts about becoming new parents. Rodrigo Santoro's character, Alex joins a dad club. He meets other dad's and learns stories about what happened to their children when they are in charge. 
  The dad's club was my favorite part of the movie, featuring Chris Rock, Thomas Lennon, Rod Huebel, and Amir Talai. They were incredibly funny together and had some interested yet funny lines. Chris Rock's son Jordan is seen throughout the movie with something new broken every time. The first time he has a patch on his forehead, then it's a sling, and at the end a cast on his arm. Although the boy has no lines in the movie, he is one of my favorite characters.
  My least favorite character in the movie is Elizabeth Banks' character Wendy, while usually I am a huge Elizabeth Banks fan, this movie she plays a depressed and disgusting pregnant lady.
  The commercial show a much better movie then the film itself, but there are also some good points in the movie I enjoyed. The first part of the movie is about getting to know the characters and their stories, the middle of the movie is about the characters realizing pregnancy isn't as glamorous as you hope, but then at the end you see joy and happiness with all the new families. 
  I want your opinion on the film, who was your favorite and least favorite character.

Fashion Friday: Fall Scents from Bath and Body Works

  My favorite place to shop for lotion and perfume is Bath and Body Works. I love the scents that the body spray has and I love the way the lotion feels. 
  Right now I'm using the Dreamy Vanilla Woods it's a limited edition fall scent. To be honest I like the scent, but to an extent. The spray is good, but I'm not sure how much I like it. The lotion is nice, but the body wash has a weird punch to it I am not a fan of. I wouldn't recommend this fragrance to anyone, it smelt better at the store. It's a subtle scent when your smelling it in the bottle, but once your applying it you can't stop smelling it and then after that you can't smell it anymore. 
  I want to try the Sweet Cinnamon Pumpkin and the Honey Autumn Apple. I feel like the Brown Sugar Fin will be the same type of thing as the Dreamy Vanilla Woods. 
  Lets just say I'm slightly disappointed and I really want a refund, next time I think I'll try the small bottles first. 
  Tell me what your favorite Fall Bath and Body Works scent is, because I need new recommendations?

Theme Thursday: All American Girl

  All American Girl is my favorite Carrie Underwood music video. Carrie Underwood wears 26 different outfits including the same leather look that she wears in before he cheats.
  I like this music video because of all the different looks she wears, she is singing about an All American Girl and she is looking like one too.
  The twenty six looks that Carrie Underwood wears in the music video are: American olympic swimmer, an artist/painter, a nurse, a photographer, a cowgirl, a waitress, a ballerina, a chef, a cheerleader, a veterinarian, a beauty queen, a mother, a football player, a police officer, a teacher, a graduate, a college student, a bride, a flight attendant, a news anchor, an astronaut, a firefighter, a soldier, a surgeon, the President of the United States, and her Before He Cheats character.
  My favorite look would probably be the Veterinarian. I like that one best because it shows a side of Carrie Underwood that is real, no she's not a vet but she loves animals. Specially her dog Ace who wore a pink tux to the country star's wedding in 2009 to hockey hunk Mike Fisher.
  Carrie Underwood not only wore a wedding dress to her wedding, but also in the music videos for Just a Dream, All American Girl, and Mama's song.
  What is your favorite Carrie Underwood music video?

Weirdo Wednesday: Amanda Bynes

  This post is probably the saddest one I have written. What I Like About You is one of my favorite shows ever, and I am big fans of She's the Man and Sydney White. I am a huge Amanda Bynes fan, but the All That star has got to get her stuff together. 

  It started with a DUI, then two hit and run accidents, and the new rumor is she is using drugs. The star's car was repossessed over the weekend and now talk is she is going to rehab sometime this week.

  Amanda Bynes starred in two of her own shows, comedy movies, and the hit show All That. Her last movie was Easy A and that was a couple years ago.  

  Last year Amanda Bynes came out with a tweet saying she has retired from acting and then not much later she  took that back and now with all this car trouble I'm worried for her health. 

  Maybe it's attention Amanda Bynes wants or maybe she is slipping just like the rest of those older childhood stars, like Britney Spears and Lindsey Lohan.
  I really hope that she gets the help she needs and hopefully stars in a new comedy. 
  Are you an Amanda Bynes fan? Do you think she will get better or end up as another Lindsey Lohan? Let me know.

Tunes Tuesday: Michael Castro

  Michael Castro is a past American Idol contestant, unfortunately Michael Castro didn't make it to the live shows. On a bright side to things he has done very well for himself he has 3 albums out, a popular YouTube account and an amazing voice.
  I first heard Michael Castro's music from my brother who has all of his albums and is also a big fan.
  My all time favorite Michael Castro song would have to be Fly Away. It is on his Fly Away EP which you should listen to right now. Fly Away is my favorite because it gives me two totally different emotions, the first it makes me smile and then the other makes me sad and sometimes a little teary eyed. If you listen to the song you can hear that it is a sad song so that emotion makes sense, but the other is probably there because I love his voice, I'm basically obsessed.
  There are a couple other favorites of mine which are, Against the Grain and Be With You. Both of those songs are on the My Way EP.
  Now Michael Castro has a YouTube account called TheMichaelCastro where he puts up cover songs regularly. My favorite is a recent video he uploaded of him singing Justin Bieber's new song As Long As You Love Me.
  Now go check out Michael Castro and then come back and tell me what you think of him, also what your favorite song is.
