Merry Merry Christmas

Hey there my lovely readers!! (That's if I still have some)


I know I havent posted in awhile. But I'm back just in time for the Holidays!!

Now what type of Music Blogger would I be if I didnt share some of my FAVORITE Christmas songs!

So if you would like to hear them........HERE THEY GO!!!


Vanessa Williams- WHAT CHILD IS THIS



I love this song! The smooth jazzy feel goes great with the original arrangement of the song. Vanessa Williams voice just glides over the melody it always puts me in the Christmas mood!


Donny Hathaway
- THIS CHRISTMAS



Now YOU KNOW! I couldnt list Christmas songs without mentioning this CLASSIC soul song by the ILLUSTRIOUS Donny himself! There have been MANY covers from Gospel to Country but there is only one version that gets me going at Christmas and thats this one!!


Stevie Wonder
- SOME DAY AT CHRISTMAS



Ah Stevie Wonder, he always makes such inspirational songs and this one is no different. Whenever I hear this song I get a little choked up. I mean don't we all want to live in the world he describes in this song?

The Jackson 5
- GIVE LOVE ON CHRISTMAS DAY



R.I.P. Micheal Jackson! This was the Jackson 5 at their FINEST! Their Christmas album was a household staple when I was growing up. There have been many covers of this song, but Michael's voice is always the one that moves me : )

Mary Mary- O Come All Ye Faithful



Now I have had trouble finding the actual recording of this song, but when I saw this performance years ago I knew I loved this version. Me and my sister even came up with our own rendition at home based off this video LOL! Anyway I just love the way they sound together

The Temptations- SILENT NIGHT



The Temptations! This song was another household staple. I love their Merry Christmas to All of You harmony at the intro and the end! That part always does it for me!

Boys 2 Men feat Brian McKnight- LET IT SNOW



Had a problem finding the original video that was of good quality. But anyway this one here is a classic for me and my generation I'm sure. This will be the song we play in our households for our children. I just love this song, its so pretty and romantical! LOL


Well thats my list folks! I'm sure there is a lil bit of something in there for anyone. But we all have our favorite Christmas songs. So What's Yours?

Oh and a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all my readers!

Chickens Coming Home to Roost



In light of all the news surrounding Tiger Woods, I thought I would give my opinion on the situation.

Well initially I could have cared less about the situation. Then I heard about his public apology.

I have let my family down and I regret those transgressions with all of my heart. I have not been true to my values and the behaviour my family deserves. I am not without faults and I am far short of perfect. I am dealing with my behaviour and personal failings behind closed doors with my family. Those feelings should be shared by us alone.
Although I am a well-known person and have made my career as a professional athlete, I have been dismayed to realise the full extent of what tabloid scrutiny really means.
For the last week, my family and I have been hounded to expose intimate details of our personal lives. The stories in particular that physical violence played any role in the car accident were utterly false and malicious. Elin [pictured below with Woods] has always done more to support our family and shown more grace than anyone could possibly expect.
But no matter how intense curiosity about public figures can be, there is an important and deep principle at stake which is the right to some simple, human measure of privacy. I realise there are some who don't share my view on that.
But for me, the virtue of privacy is one that must be protected in matters that are intimate and within one's own family. Personal sins should not require press releases and problems within a family shouldn't have to mean public confessions.
Whatever regrets I have about letting my family down have been shared with and felt by us alone. I have given this a lot of reflection and thought and I believe that there is a point at which I must stick to that principle even though it's difficult.
I will strive to be a better person and the husband and father that my family deserves. For all of those who have supported me over the years, I offer my profound apology.

While on the surface it seems like a genuine attempt to address his fans and the media alike. I couldn't help but smell bullshit. Not to mention the fact that when TMZ intially reported that the car accident was related to a domestic dispute due to infidelty he vehemently denied the accusations. Now that the mistress has come forward, he's sorry and this situation is off limits to the press.

NEGRO (Yes NEGRO) PLEASE!

You can't make a career off of public opinion, with enough endorsement deals to keep you and your grandkids set for life, live in the public eye, and then when things get rocky start whining about how your privacy has been invaded. How about you do this?

First, if you know you are not meant to be faitful dont get married. If you do in fact, get married and are going to be unfaithful dont leave stupid ass voicemails like this.... ON YOUR MISTRESSE'S CELL PHONE!
(Although I must say I laughed hysterically when I first listened to this)

Point blank Tiger once you're a celebrity, you can't pick and choose which aspects of your life are on or off limits, it would have behooved you to put on some act right seeing as how you have so much at stake, but instead you are experiencing what many people call your Chickens Coming Home to Roost.

I have to say that this guy is clearly disturbed. Now it's being said that at least 7other women have come forward to say that they have had sexual relations with Tiger Woods since he has been married and there is even talk of a sex tape!

All that glitters isnt gold.

Tiger Woods would have liked all of us to believe that he is someone like this

- A Family Man. Passionate about being a loving, honorable and doting husband and father.

Now it comes out that he is more of this

A man who is hell bent on getting his jollies off with as many women as he pleases, at the expense of the embarrassment it will cause his family and his career.

Guess he's not as clean cut as many of us would like to think.

I hate to jump to conclusions and jump on the man without hearing both sides of the story. But if it looks like a duck...You know the rest. I have to say that I never was nor will I ever be a Tiger Woods fan. But as a man he has some serious flaws and his true character is showing, and I must say I DO NOT like what I see.
