MUSIC VIDEO-POKER FACE
LADY GAGA

Ok, like the music video and great comparison with a poker face, but...don't like the repetition of P-p-p-poker face, p-p-poker face in the song. I don't know maybe it's just me. Nevertheless, I like Lady Gaga for her lyrics and the rhythm that she brings to the songs. It's great.




LYRICS-POKER FACE
LADY GAGA

Mum mum mum mah
Mum mum mum mah

I wanna hold em' like they do in Texas Plays
Fold em' let em' hit me raise it baby stay with me (I love it)
Luck and intuition play the cards with Spades to start
And after he's been hooked I'll play the one that's on his heart

Oh, oh, oh, oh, ohhhh, ohh-oh-e-ohh-oh-oh
I'll get him hot, show him what I've got
Oh, oh, oh, oh, ohhhh, ohh-oh-e-ohh-oh-oh,
I'll get him hot, show him what I've got

Can't read my,
Can't read my
No he can't read my poker face
(She's got to love nobody)
Can't read my
Can't read my
No he can't read my poker face
(She's got to love nobody)

P-p-p-poker face, p-p-poker face
(Mum mum mum mah)
P-p-p-poker face, p-p-poker face
(Mum mum mum mah)

I wanna roll with him a hard pair we will be
A little gambling is fun when you're with me I love it)
Russian Roulette is not the same without a gun
And baby when it's love if it's not rough it isn't fun, fun
Oh, oh, oh, oh, ohhhh, ohh-oh-e-ohh-oh-oh
I'll get him hot, show him what I've got
Oh, oh, oh, oh, ohhhh, ohh-oh-e-ohh-oh-oh,
I'll get him hot, show him what I've got

Can't read my,
Can't read my
No he can't read my poker face
(She's got to love nobody)
Can't read my
Can't read my
No he can't read my poker face
(She's got to love nobody)

P-p-p-poker face, p-p-poker face
(Mum mum mum mah)
P-p-p-poker face, p-p-poker face
(Mum mum mum mah)

I won't tell you that I love you
Kiss or hug you
Cause I'm bluffin' with my muffin
I'm not lying I'm just stunnin' with my love-glue-gunning
Just like a chick in the casino
Take your bank before I pay you out
I promise this, promise this
Check this hand cause I'm marvelous

Can't read my,
Can't read my
No he can't read my poker face
(She's got to love nobody)
Can't read my
Can't read my
No he can't read my poker face
(She's got to love nobody)

Can't read my,
Can't read my
No he can't read my poker face
(She's got to love nobody)
Can't read my
Can't read my
No he can't read my poker face
(She's got to love nobody)

Can't read my,
Can't read my
No he can't read my poker face
(She's got to love nobody)
Can't read my
Can't read my
No he can't read my poker face
(She's got to love nobody)

P-p-p-poker face, p-p-poker face
(Mum mum mum mah)
P-p-p-poker face, p-p-poker face
(Mum mum mum mah)

P-p-p-poker face, p-p-poker face
(Mum mum mum mah)
P-p-p-poker face, p-p-poker face
(Mum mum mum mah)

P-p-p-poker face, p-p-poker face
(Mum mum mum mah)
P-p-p-poker face, p-p-poker face
(Mum mum mum mah)

MARIAH CAREY

• Mariah Carey makes history by becoming only the second artist to claim 18 number one singles in the U.S.

• You can touch her body, but you can't wish Mariah Carey a happy birthday. She may look amazing for her age, but 37-year-old Mariah is so terrified of getting older she stopped acknowledging her birthdays. She says, "I'm eternally 12. And that 12-year-old inside me is an eternal optimist. Honestly, I don't even have birthdays.

• One would assume that someone as private as Mariah Carey would only date non-celebrities, but apparently it's the complete opposite. Mariah says that any future boyfriend of hers will have to be a celebrity so they can "understand" her and "take care" of her needs. Because non-celebrities aren't capable of 'understanding'?

• So it turns out the marriage we all thought was fake isn’t so fake afterall. People Magazine has pictures of the Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon wedding in the Bahamas. "We really do feel we are soulmates," Carey said after getting hitched. "I never felt a love like this was in the cards for me." Cannon added: "She is beautiful on the outside and 10 times as beautiful on the inside." You can visit People to see the pictures of the “happy” couple. It's still sorta weird putting the two in a sentence together and referring them as a "happy" couple.
  

• Mariah Carey is ready to give back as the global ambassador of a hunger relief charity. She'll be the front woman for the Yum! Foundation to raise money for the United Nations World Food Program. In her role, Mimi will appear in posters in more than 36,000 Pizza Huts, Taco Bells, and KFCs all over the country. But of course there's a twist! Mariah is asking people to donate to the cause by downloading her song Love Story at FromHungerToHope.com. 25 cents from each download will go to the foundation.

MUSIC VIDEO-BYE BYE
Mariah Carey

Very beautiful lyrics and the music video is nice also.

LYRICS-BYE BYE
Mariah Carey

Oh baby
Baby, I stay in love with you

Dying inside 'cause I can't stand it
Make or break up
Can't take this madness
We don't even really know why
All I know is baby
I try and try so hard
To keep our love alive

If you don't know me at this point
Then I highly doubt you ever will
I really need you to give me
That unconditional love I used to feel
It's a mistake if we just erase it
From our hearts and minds and I know

[Chorus:]
We said let go
But I kept on hanging on
Inside I know it's over
You're really gone
It's killing me
'cause there ain't nothing
That I can do
Baby, I stay in love with you
And I keep on telling myself
That you'll come back around
And I try to front like "Oh well"
Each time you let me down
See I can't get over you now
No matter what I do
But baby, baby
I stay in love with you

Na na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na na
Baby, I stay in love with you

It cuts so deep
It hurts down to my soul
My friends tell me
I ain't the same no more
We still need each other
When we stumble and fall
How we gonna act
Like what we had
Ain't nothin' at all now

Hey, what I wanna do is
Ride shotgun next to you
With the top down like we used to
Hit the block
Proud in the SUV
We both know our heart is breaking
Can we learn from our mistakes
I can't last one moment alone
Now go I know

[Chorus x2]

I stay in love
Love
Oh, I stay in love.

MUSIC VIDEO-KEEPS GETTING BETTER
CHRISTINA AGUILERA

Well...I know that Christina for every album she tends to have a different look and all, which is good and I like that, but....I don't feel the same energy that you would see come out of Christina in her videos. Love the sci-fi, futuristic feel to the video, but again feel as though the energy is not completely there.


LYRICS-KEEPS GETTING BETTER
CHRISTINA AGUILERA

Step back gonna come at ya fast
I'm driving out of control
And getting ready to crash
Won't stop shaking up what I can
I serve it up in a shot
So suck it down like a man
So baby yes I know what I am
And no I don't give a damn
And you'll be loving it

Some days I'm a super bitch
Up to my old tricks
But it won't last forever
Next day I'm your super girl
Out to save the world
And it keeps gettin' better

Kiss kiss gonna tell you right now
I'll make it sweet on the lips i'll simply knock you out
Shut up I don't care what you say
Cuz when we both in the ring you're gonna like it my way
Yeah baby there's a villain in me so sexy sour and sweet
And you'll be loving it

Some days I'm a super bitch
Up to my old tricks
But it won't last forever
Next day I'm your super girl
Out to save the world
And it keeps gettin' better

Hold on
Keeps gettin' better
Hold on
Keeps gettin' better

In the blink of an eye
In the speed of the light
I'll hold the universe up
And make your planets collide
When I strap on my boots
And I slip on my suit
You see the vixen in me
Becomes an angel for you

Some days I'm a super bitch
Up to my old tricks
But it won't last forever
Next day I'm your super girl
Out to save the world
And it keeps gettin' better

Some days I'm a super bitch
Up to my old tricks
But it won't last forever
Next day I'm your super girl
Out to save the world
And it keeps gettin' better

Hold on
Keeps gettin' better
Hold on
Keeps gettin' better

LUIS FONSI

• Initially molded as a traditional Latin balladeer, one who sings romantic songs with much dramatic flair over sweeping string arrangements, Luis Fonsi enjoyed much success as such, though he began to break from that mold steadily, beginning with Paso a Paso in 2005, and enjoyed even greater success and more critical acclaim as a result. Born in Puerto Rico and raised in Orlando, FL, Fonsi dove into show business at a young age.

• Luis Fonsi really experienced a true love story. Why you may ask? Well it all started when he gave Adamaris Lopez, an actress, a call in 2001 to ask her to get to know her, but when she came to visit she was with her boyfriend of that moment. This broke Fonsis' heart. Two years later, Adamaris was in the audience of one of his shows, by the which he considered to be the best one of his life. Afterward they got to know each other, little by little fell in love. Sadly to say by 2005 the doctors found out that Adamaris had breast cancer and you might think that any other man would up and go, but not Fonsi. He stayed by her side through thick and thin. Later on by early 2006, thanks to God, Adamaris announced that she was able to fight the cancer completely. Then finally by June they got married and sincerely since they got together in 2001 you would be able to see that they have so much love for each other. It's just a wonderful sight.

• On his sixth album, Palabras del Silencio, Luis Fonsi continues to establish himself as one of Latin pop's most accomplished vocalists, one who is not only popular but creative.
  

• Tour for "Palabras del Silencio" will start with Puerto Rico on February 13 and 14 of 2009.
  

MUSIC VIDEO-PALABRAS DEL SILENCIO
LUIS FONSI

This music video is absolutely beautiful. It's in Spanish, I know, but what the lyrics say it's absolutely beautiful and loving. He's just saying that no matter what, he's not giving up. That's exactly what he did with Adamaris the year that she was battling cancer. They didn't give up in no way, and they were able to get through the situation. I know I'm not the only only that this song made cry, it was so sweet.



LYRICS-PALABRAS DEL SILENCIO
LUIS FONSI

Me quedo callado
Soy como un niño dormido
Que puede despertarse
Con apenas sólo un ruido
Cuando menos te lo esperas
Cuando menos lo imagino
Sé que un día no me aguanto y voy y te miro

Y te lo digo a los gritos
Y te ríes y me tomas por un loco atrevido
Pues no sabes cuanto tiempo, en mis sueños has vivido
Ni sospechas cuando te nombré

Yo, yo no me doy por vencido
Yo quiero un mundo contigo
Juro que vale la pena esperar, y esperar y esperar un suspiro
Una señal del destino
No me canso, no me rindo, no me doy por vencido

Tengo una flor de bolsillo,
Marchita de buscar a una mujer que me quiera
Y reciba su perfume hasta traer la primavera
Y me enseñe lo que no aprendí de la vida

Que brilla más cada día,
Porque estoy tan sólo a un paso de ganarme la alegría
Porque el corazón levanta una tormenta enfurecida
Desde aquel momento en que te ví…

Yo, yo no me doy por vencido
Yo quiero un mundo contigo
Juro que vale la pena esperar, y esperar y esperar un suspiro
Una señal del destino
No me canso, no me rindo, no me doy por vencido

Este silencio esconde demasiadas palabras
No me detengo, pase lo que pase seguiré

Yo, yo no me doy por vencido
Yo quiero un mundo contigo
Juro que vale la pena esperar, y esperar y esperar un suspiro
Una señal del destino
No me canso, no me rindo, no me doy por vencido
