#TheRoundUp By Enzer - No. 6
Yes, you clicked on the right link LOL. Here’s #TheRoundUp!
HOT ON TV
I’m happy! Why am I happy?
I am happy because The Voice USA on NBC had
a freaking AWESOME Season Seven finale!
The show was spectacular! The show was
out of this world - OMG! I haven’t been entertained that much since the American Idol Season Thirteen finale
back in May.
The performances by some of the top artists of the year were off
the hook. Jessie J (J’adore Jessie J), Ed Sheeran, Bruno Mars, Jennifer Hudson and Meghan Trainor all contributed to making the finale a night to
remember and probably the best episode in the history of The Voice USA (trust me, I’ve been watching the show since its
inception).
The people at American Idol
on FOX have a lot of work to do this
year because The Voice impressed, big
time. Overall, I’m glad the level of excitement was sky high because that is
what The Voice lacked.
Yes, American Idol has the very successful
winners, but it’s also exciting or excites viewers. I also hope that all the
four finalists (Craig Wayne Boyd, Matt McAndrew, Chris Jamison and Damien) get
to release full length albums not only because they were contestants on The Voice but because they are all
special (i.e I think they would sell millions of copies LOL).
Oh, and if you
haven’t listened to their new singles which they performed this week on night
one of the finale, what are you waiting for? The singles (accompanied by four
new music videos) are to die for! Enzer’s World will definitely be sharing the
music videos in the near future.
Still on The Voice Finale, one
moment that surprisingly stood out for most people was Bruno Mars’s “bad hair day” LOL. I don’t get the hype around all of
this. Why is it a headline? I thought whatever he had on was cool, trendy and
went well with his performance, nothing special, so why are we still talking
about it?
What we should be focusing on is Team Blake Shelton’s victory. Did you see Adam Levine’s face when Craig
Wayne Boyd was crowned The Voice of America? I really thought
Adam had this in the bag, heck even math was on Adam’s side!
Anyway,
congratulations to Team Blake’s Craig
Wayne Boyd and to The Voice for
an astounding season. I’m looking forward to another round of fun in 2015 and I
hope you won’t disappoint.
Moving on, in case you haven’t heard, the new Miss World 2014 is Rolene
Strauss! The medical student from South Africa was crowned in London and
unexpectedly beat out more than a hundred girls from around the world, good for
her. Enzer’s World truly believes that these beauty pageants are relevant in
our day and
On a lighter note, the live telecast of the Miss World 2014 final was obviously better than last year’s edition
which was broadcast live from Indonesia. The stage and lighting was on point, the
gowns worn by the girls would definitely fly off the shelves and the line-up
had me glued to my screen. I wasn’t surprised because whenever the finals are hosted
by London City the show is always up to scratch. I also envy the people of
London because they had two sets of exceptionally gorgeous women on the London
catwalks for major events (Miss World Finals
and The Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show),
twice in one year! Lucky you are Londoners!
Do you watch Grey’s Anatomy on ABC? If you don’t then you’re missing
out on a lot of DRAMA. I am happy to say that after eleven seasons (and a bevy
of characters LOL) the series still has a large following (I’m one of those
people) and captivating storylines that make me wish Grey’s Anatomy was a daily drama, airing even on weekends! Yes,
that’s how much I like it. On the other hand, The Queen Latifah Show got cancelled a few weeks ago! Well, if you
didn’t see that one coming then you are probably carrying dead brain cells.
Question is: Is Queen Latifah going
to do another talk show in the near future? I’ll give that one a MAYBE because
(clearly) she doesn’t give up easily.
Enzer’s World (E.W.) has this week decided to shine the light on one of TV’s most
celebrated personalities – Giuliana Rancic.
The Italian born mother of one and wife to Bill
Rancic is not only a pretty face (with an amazing figure) that anchors E! News on E! (she is one of the managers too) but she also co- hosts E! Live from the Red Carpet, has
in-depth conversations with some of our favorite celebs on her half hour talk
show called Beyond Candid with Giuliana
and she stars in her own reality show with hubby Bill titled Giuliana & Bill all on E!
In addition, she is also recognized by the E.W. Board as the Outstanding Hostess for a Reality TV Lifestyle Magazine Series 2013/14. If that is not a busy woman then I’m a sad camel in some desert near Egypt. Kudos to Giuliana for the hard work and dedication! She is undoubtedly the First Lady of E!

DAILY INSPIRATION
Happiness comes in relaxed simplicity, living in present awareness, and
contentment with each precious moment of this life that is granted. Awakened
awareness is not dependent on any particular circumstance. We are each endowed
with clear perception that becomes dormant or obscured through the conditioning
of fear, loss and belief. When we deeply relax in silence, our awareness
effortlessly shines with a transforming brilliance. We live with passion, with
a twinkle in our eyes, aware that we are living in a grand mystery; feeling the
radiance of its presence everywhere, energizing us to take care of the tasks at
hand in a sensible and practical fashion.

#TheRoundUp By Enzer - No. 5
Boom! No the ship hasn’t sailed, it just docked. Here’s #TheRoundUp
MUSIC SPOT
Let’s talk Simon Cowell: The mastermind behind some of our favorite acts
including Leona Lewis, Ella Henderson and Olly Murs keeps on keeping on, and
giving (the hurtful truth that is). I don’t think there is a word in English
that could describe or define Simon Cowell. Some may call him mean, rude,
immature, narcissistic, etc (I could go on for decades LOL) but I think that if
you’re lucky enough to work with him, get signed under his label or even get
mentored by him whilst contesting in some singing competition, then you’re on
the right path, on your way up and above all you are going to make MAD dollar.
Keeping up with the magic of Simon Cowell, two groups that are rocking the
charts and are so relevant in our circles are Fifth
One Direction’s latest music is also good and worth buying. Not as good as
Fifth Harmonys’ (if you ask me) but obviously better than whatever The Voice
USA winner is going to release (prove me wrong The Voice, please!). I don’t
like the name of the album though. I mean, who names their album ‘Four’ or any
number or letter of the alphabet for that matter. Whoever names these albums
needs to start taking their job and fans seriously and I’m talking to you too
Beyonce (3) and Maroon 5 (V), LOL. You’re artists, thinkers, visionaries,
poets, writers – I’m sure you can come up with something way more intelligent.
HOT ON TV
The X-Factor UK on ITV has a good reputation. The singing competition has
(for over a decade) paved the way for many talented people and has unearthed
some of the greatest voices of our day (some of which are mentioned above) but
the eleventh season of the series didn’t really do justice for me. Though the
judging panel (Simon Cowell, Cheryl, Mel B and Louis Walsh) is a great
combination and the chosen contestants are truly gifted and deserving of their
spots in the competition, the content of the series is rather slow, boring and
dated. The eleventh season of this show reminded me of American Idol’s dark
days. You remember the seasons when American Idol was close to getting
cancelled? The X-Factor UK seems stuck in that mud pool. The themes are
dreadful, the road to the live shows was excruciating (especially when Cheryl
was unnecessarily mean to some contestants) and the lip-synching is so obvious.
Conclusion: The X-Factor UK needs help A.S.A.P. Oh, but Dermot O’Leary can call
at any time…LOL.
Moving on, Are You The One? (AYTO) on MTV had an epic first season. The
first season of AYTO had The Bachelor and The Bachelorette both on ABC take a
back seat in the dating series bus. AYTO Season One was the answer to a proper
dating series on TV. Sadly, the second season of AYTO makes me want to puke in
a thousand buckets. It’s not only a load of rubbish; it’s a load of decomposed
rubbish! Don’t get me wrong, the contestants are good-looking and full of life
but other than that the season is a disappointment and a waste of MTV airtime.
Please step up! Another flop in MTV’s stable is the dating series Ex on the
Beach. The show is ridiculous and is full of confused people. I don’t even get
how it was renewed for a second season.
IN THE NEWS
Onto even more horrifying stories, the killings of civilians by terrorists
seem to be on the rise. I think the only way to solve this problem is to talk
at the same level. If either one of the parties involved feels like the other
is provocative, condescending or even selfish then these attacks or killings
will never end. I am very much concerned (amongst other concerns) about the
Nigerian girls that were kidnapped in Chibok. I can’t even begin to imagine
what it feels like to be one of those girls. Why does it have to be them? Why?
Those girls should be left alone! If you are the bigger person then ‘talk’ to
the adults that make our world go round. #BringBackOurGirls and #TalkToTheBoss.
Another African-American man was murdered by a police officer in New York.
The whole incident was caught on camera, it was clear that the victim was
innocent but the police officer/s involved was/were let go. This sparked
protests in major American cities and another racial debate. I don’t know why
this is happening but I think all these reports are further tarnishing
America’s image and are making Russian and Chinease arguments stronger: Maybe
America isn’t a good world leader after all.
There is a film in the works about the early days of Barack and Michele
Obama’s exemplary relationship. I’m excited because I adore these two and
because Tika Sumpter has been cast as Michele Obama! I think the casting
directors made the right decision. She might not look much like Michele but she
will do a good job. It might be difficult to associate her with a good and
clean character (her character on Tyler Perry’s The Haves And The Have Nots has
some villainous tendencies) but then again the mark of a great actress is
rising above your challenges, which she’ll do. 
There’s a story that trended a few days ago about a twelve year old boy
that committed suicide because he had been bullied continuously for being gay.
I didn’t even know that twelve year old kids knew what suicide was. Another sad
fact is that the schools that are entrusted to protect these children only
offer a letter of apology and speak out against bullying after a child is hurt
or (as in this case) dead. I think the lack of LGBTI+ education is the problem. If more work was
put into educating society about the Lesbian, Bisexual, Gay, Transgender, Intersex+ (LGBTI+) community then most of these tragedies wouldn’t occur. Did you know that
there are laws in some countries that prohibit "normal" people from having sex
with Transgender people? It also starts at home. This boy was pushed to the
edge by other kids, meaning the parents of the perpetrators were to blame. Wise
men say “Charity begins at Home”, maybe homophobic parents whose kids were to
blame for this tragedy should take a minute or two to think about those wise
words.
DAILY INSPIRATION
It is essential to balance one’s life roles holistically. Every person
plays many roles in life. The most important are: family, personal relationships,
spiritual, social, career, financial, education, and physical. Compromise of
any one of these will eventually compromise the others.

#TheRoundUp By Enzer - No. 4
Happy December!
THE EXPLORER
If you are a frequent traveler or planning a long distance trip then listen
up, (or in this case continue reading – LOL) Turkish Airlines is the way to go.
Oh what an experience! Though the interior, services, etc are similar to other
Star Alliance members, the Turkish touch on Turkish Airlines places this world
class airline ahead of the rest. I’m talking about the incredible in-house chefs,
the diverse entertainment line-up, the swanky top-class services and the
friendly, good-looking staff will all make you fall in love with long haul
flights. It’s worth every cent especially if you’re flying between North
America and Eurasia.
On the other hand, if you’re traveling in economy make sure your plane is a
Boeing not an Airbus plane (if possible) because Airbus sucks. I don’t even
know why Airbus is in business. Yes, economy is not meant to be too comfortable
but Boeing seems to have made it comfortable regardless of what is expected in
general. It’s as if the creators of Airbus planes wanted to punish less “ambitious”
people for not choosing or affording first-class in advance. LOL. Geez, they
really need to step up their game or move out.
IN THE NEWS
The Obamas are in the news again and this time it’s not Father Obama
headlining. Nope, it’s his daughters – Sasha and Malia. Lol. They have been
criticized for not being classy enough for the White House by a Republican
staffer named Elizabeth Lauten who resigned shortly after posting the
derogatory remarks on FACEBOOK. A lot of people are saying that the remarks
were unsurprisingly one of the many insults hurled at the Democrats by the
Republicans and that the Obama girls are just teenagers that must not be
dragged into politics. Honestly, if Lauten hadn’t posted those remarks on Facebook
and if the post hadn’t gone viral I would have never cared. I still don’t. I
didn’t even notice the girls’ outfits and behavior because I was so focused on
what President Obama was saying and doing.
However, Lauten’s decision to resign proves to many that her remarks
were a personal attack. If she really had a problem with Obama’s daughters then
she should have spoken about it in private (you know, the appropriate channel).
Her actions and the consequences that followed have exposed her and made her
the girl she was talking about, the girl that deserves the spot at the bar.
LOL.
MUSIC SPOT
What do Ariana Grande, Meghan Trainor and Ella Henderson have in common?
They are young, they have hit singles doing the rounds for days and Enzer loves
them so much! LOL.
If you dislike these girls’ music, please relocate to
Planet Mars as soon as possible because if you stick around they are going to be in your face all
year long and you're not going to enjoy your Christmas. LOL.
With hit songs like “Love Me Harder” by Ariana Grande featuring The Weeknd, “Lips Are Movin" by Meghan Trainor and “Glow” by The X-Factor UK's Ella Henderson on repeat, my holiday season is sorted.
Thumbs up girls!

#TheRoundUp By Enzer - No. 3
Did you miss out on anything interesting this week? Don’t worry, Enzer has
got you covered. Here’s #TheRoundUp
MUSIC SPOT
The American Music Awards (AMAs) versus The MTV Europe Music Awards (EMAs):
The AMAs win all day, every day. I enjoyed every minute of the show. The
performances by some of the biggest artists of the year were off the hook and
kept me wanting more. However, Pitbull as host was not a good idea. The AMA
stage was busy and would’ve been fine without Pitbull in the mix. I hope they
don’t have a host/hostess at the next AMAs unless the stage is not as busy as
it was on Sunday night.
Iggy Azalea shined on the night. I’m glad she walked away with awards. She
has had an exceptional year with top charting hits like Fancy featuring Charlie XCX and Black Widow featuring Rita Ora and
hopefully she’ll continue to rule the rap world. She already rules our Hip-Hop/Rap world as she is RECOGNIZED
by the EW Board as Enzer’s Worlds’ Favorite Female Hip-Hop/Rap
Act of 2013/14.
On the other side, I’m still mad
at Snoop Dogg for what he did to Iggy Azalea a few weeks back and I still can’t
believe that Snoop Dogg walked free. When Donald Sterling was “exposed” as a
racist, he got humiliated and yet Snoop Dogg gets to only apologize? Really? If
that was a publicity stunt, WELL DONE.
Australasia in on fire! Bands like Sheppard and 5 Seconds of Summer are
dominating the charts and can be heard on almost every radio station. Another
band worth mentioning is the All-American Band Maroon 5. Their latest album V (Five) is so refreshing, so cool, so
worth it.
HOT ON TV
If you missed out on Satisfaction
on USA Network this year then you are living under a rock on planet
mars. Where are you? This fictional series is MUST SEE TV. It’s simply a classy
portrayal of a troubled marriage that will force you (LOL) to question your
spouse or special friend. Another series to look out for is The Millers on CBS. Sean Hayes has a
lead role in the sitcom this season and (you guessed it!) he is portraying a
gay man, another gay man. I don’t get his character’s purpose or how he fits in
with The Miller Family but perhaps that will be clearer later on.
Which television show is the best at celebrity coverage? It’s too early to
tell but what I can say for sure is that all of them have a home on TV. I like E! News’s style: it’s fun, it’s glossy
and sometimes quirky (good quirky). The hosts speak & dress well and the
set defines elegance. Entertainment
Tonight (ET) is more on the serious side with a more conservative format and
the advantage of having Nancy O’Dell on their team. Nancy is the Queen of Celeb
Coverage and I really hope she keeps doing her thing until the end of day. I
also like the ET set and the new guy
that began co-hosting with Nancy. Thumbs up! I wonder what would happen if she
left ET? Another lifestyle magazine
series to lookout for is Entertainment Week on Sky News UK. Who knew a News channel could be fun? LOL.
The EYE CANDY on the sets of Enzer’s favourite Lifestyle Magazine Series
couldn’t get sweeter. I’m talking about Jesse Giddings, Catt Sadler, Ali
Fedotowsky and Terrence J all on E! News as
well as the King of Sexy himself, Mario Lopez on Extra to name a few. Please keep them on-the-air. Oh, I also like how
the E! News personalities are so comfortable around each other, like really
comfortable, like most likely to be banging each other kinda comfortable. Yes
guys, we see you…
IN THE NEWS
Bill Cosby is still trending. A number of women have spoken out against
Cosby accusing him of rape including supermodel Janice Dickinson. I have a
question for her - why now? She is a very influential and successful woman who
I never expected to keep quiet about such. Her keeping quiet about this will
give Cosby’s camp more reasons to ridicule all these allegations and will send
the wrong message to young girls. However, I am also beginning to believe that
Bill Cosby did in fact abuse all those women. I’ve read a lot about women that
keep quiet about abuse so there’s nothing new. If he’s not going to say
anything anytime soon and if he keeps hiding then he’s guilty.
There’s ongoing protest around the U.S. against the Grand Jury’s decision
to not indict the officer that killed teenager Mike Brown in Ferguson,
Missouri. There are two sides to this story: either Officer Wilson shot at Mike
Brown to protect himself after he felt endangered during the altercation or the
officer shot at Mike Brown without mercy because the teen was African-American.
I’m confused but if I take all the race related issues that America suffers
from into account I’d conclude that Americans need to talk, serious talk.
Still on protests, Hong Kongers are continuing with their Pro-Democracy
protests. One thing I liked about these protests in Hong Kong was the mellow
attitude (well, at least in the beginning). Many, if not all, revolutionary
protests in history were violent. If a population can make it happen without
making noise then I’m there. I was also surprised by how unhappy the people of
Hong Kong, especially the young people, are with their government. Hong Kong is
one of those places that might not be the best but was or is definitely better.
I am all for equality, freedom and universal suffrage so I really hope they get
what they want regardless of what China or The West thinks. Fingers crossed.

#TheRoundUp by Enzer - No. 2
We are not cattle. You do, we talk. LOL. Here's #TheRoundUp
MUSIC SPOT
Taylor Swift finally released a new music video for another hit song
from her latest album. She gave me a lot of reasons to stop worrying about Shake
It Off being the only hit on her latest album. A lot of people are saying
that they want Taylor to remain a country artist, singing about boys and all
but I think she made the right decision by switching to pop 100%. I really do
and I don't think it's because she wants to been seen as a grown up or anything
like that, I just think it was a smart business decision. Well done Taylor and
crew.
The 2014 MTV Europe Music Awards (EMAs) went down last week (November 9th).
Two words: The Worst. The opening performance
by Ariana Grande was, well, so so. Ariana sounds great on radio, not LIVE. A lot of the top artists of the
year were absent which was really a bummer for Glasgow. The excitement was not
really there. I don't know if it's because the people of Glasgow were hoping
that they would be a city in an independent Scotland by now (SIDE NOTE: Glasgow
voted YES to Scottish Independence) or they just didn't want the awards to be
there in the first place, puzzles me. On a lighter note, a few performances
stood out for me: Enrique Iglesias's performance of Bailando, Keisza’s performance
of Hideaway and of course Alicia Key's performance of We Are Here. I
love that song! It carries a very important message and is well written. Alicia
is definitely on my One to Watch list for this year.
Nicki Minaj blew it! Twice in one week (LOL). Early last week she was the
host of the EMAs and, like the live event itself was the equivalent of a
skunk's waste. I understand why the producers of the show wanted her to host
but sadly I don't think it really worked out. She's funny, she pushes the
boundaries, she's secure, she's a great rapper but she's just not a good EMA
hostess. Nicki also released a very offensive Nazi inspired music video last
week. Well at least she gave a great performance at the EMAs so it wasn't all
bad. Right?
If you are not listening to Gwen Stefani's new music this fall/winter then
you need a prescription from your doctor because she is back with a bang. Don’t
you dare write her off! Another act to look out for is Australasian rock band
The Griswolds: they are the epitome of awesomeness.
HOT ON TV
About A Boy on NBC has really stepped it up this season except for Benjamin
Stockham's character (Marcus Bowa). I'm not sure if the producers wanted the
character to take a chill pill this season (he was all over the place in season
one) or if Benjamin Stockham is having bad days, every day. I'm also excited to
see how Marcus will transition to teenage hood considering how fast Benjamin is
growing up.
Late Night TV has never been better. Though I miss Chelsea and wish she had
never left E! I think Fallon, Kimmel, O'Brien, Meyers, Stewart, Letterman,
Colbert, Oliver and the rest of the colony have got us all covered (LOL). It's
sad that they don't air on weekends because THE PEOPLE AT SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE (SNL)
ARE NOT DOING THEIR JOB PROPERLY! Season 40 of SNL on NBC kicked off on a low
and it seems like it's going to stay that way for the rest of the fall/winter
season. Most of the jokes are pathetic, some are borderline offensive (don't
get me wrong, they are just so close to taking it TOO FAR) and none of the
hosts have impressed me so far. If the bosses fired someone they need to get
them back A.S.A.P (with a raise, of course).
IN THE NEWS
Oscar Pistorius was allegedly raped in prison! I don't have all the facts
but this could be true for obvious reasons. On the other hand it might just be
his way of trying to get the "system" to be more lenient on him (we
all know he has a clever legal team backing him). Still on rape, Bill Cosby
(same as Stephen Collins) is being accused of assaulting multiple women. I am going to
be on the fence as usual because I believe that when you are successful in the
public eye you are a target. Times are tough and some people want to make a
quick buck. On the other hand, Bill and Stephen might have abused all those
women knowing very well that they could get away with it. Rape is a serious
problem in our day and the perpetrators are usually the last people on our
minds.
President Obama recently visited China. I never thought the day would come.
It did but I also feel like it was a waste of time. I know that there's a lot
of business between China and the U.S but besides that these two powers are
polar opposites. Thanks to the United Nations we don't have to study World War
3. I'm still trying to figure out if both countries' intentions were genuine (I
hear President Putin was also in the mix) or if President Obama was just trying
to ruffle the Republican feathers. Only God knows.
New Zealand wants to change its flag. Good for them. At the end of the day
it's up to them to decide whether they want to move on in that sense or keep
the Union Jack. Oh, but that's not the reason why they want to change it. Some
Zealanders want to change the flag because it looks like the Australian flag. SIDENOTE:
If you are not clued up on world flags please do not be late to the party by
simply visiting wikipedia.com (LOL). Well, Canadians have the same status as
New Zealand in the Commonwealth, they don't have the Union Jack on their flag
and they seem to have succeeded in creating an identity that's independent of
the United Kingdom. So Dear Zealanders: It's Possible.
Moving on to what Britain considers a "problem", there's been rumors
that Africa's longest serving leader, President Mugabe, was almost assassinated.
Guess who's been accused of plotting his assassination? His deputy, Joyce
Mujuru. Guess whose adding fire to the rumors? His wife, Grace Mugabe. I have
only one thing to say: Hollywood please make a series out of all this drama
because it sounds like one of your creations (LOL).

#TheRoundUp By Enzer - No. 1
Hello Guys!
Thank you for visiting the blog and I hope you are having a good week. So much
has been happening giving me enough to blog about today. So without further ado
here’s #TheRoundUp:
HOT ON TV
It hit me
this week that Glee on FOX is ending next year. I am a Gleek but I am also on
the fence. On one side I feel like the world is going to end because Glee was a
messiah to millions of people around the world. The storylines made us happy
and gave us hope, but on the other hand the show was beginning to get lost.
Cory’s
death really affected Ryan Murphy’s camp, the show had a not so amazing fourth
season and the new characters were not really marrying well with the rest of
the cast. So I guess us Gleeks are left with no option but to move on. It’s not
going to be easy but I’m sure Ryan Murphy and his team made a smart decision.
I’m excited to watch his new series which he describes as a horror/musical.
Kind of like a Glee meets American Horror Story.
American
Horror Story on FX disappointed me. I enjoyed Coven (Season 3) so much that I
expected Freak Show (Season 4) to be bigger than Miley’s twerking at the 2013
VMAs. However, the characters are FREAKING awesome! The creators are geniuses
and deserve all the awards in the world.
Other
fictional series worth mentioning are Stalker on CBS and A to Z on NBC. These
shows are on fire! #ABreathOfFreshAir. Gotham on FOX is a mess if you ask me. I
enjoyed the first episode and then BOOM they had me confused. The only good
thing there is Jada Pinkett-Smith’s character. The Flash on The CW is sadly
rowing in the same boat. I am simply failing to focus on the storylines. The cast is good looking though.
The Queen
Latifah Show is slowly becoming a nightmare. There are even times when Queen
Latifah will crack a joke and no one in the studio audience laughs. If that’s
not the worst that could happen to a talk show host then a Zebra has no
stripes. I loved her first season but at the same time I felt like she was
trying too hard to be the next Ellen DeGeneres. I hope the show improves
because it undoubtedly carries something special.
Ellen is
doing well. Her show is addictive and makes my day. I am just a little worried
about the nudity and naughty stuff that goes on there. The producers or whoever
is in charge should either tone it down or move the show to late night. Wendy
has a big mouth! I love her hosting style because she makes me interested in
the person she’s talking about (no other host does it well) but sometimes she
takes it too far ( e.g . the mean stuff she says about Kris Jenner). If she’s
saying all those things to entertain then well done but if she’s being real
then that might be a problem.
Steve
Harvey is awesome but it seems like the show is only for women. He focuses a
lot on women’s issues such that I’m beginning to think he’s GAY. LOL. The Talk
on CBS is still the king of the roundtable. The View, The Real and others (no
offence) can learn a thing or two from the ladies of The Talk. First lesson: Be
Friends! Or at least pretend to like each other. What happened to faking it
‘til you make it?
A few shows
have already been cancelled. My favorite: Manhattan Love Story on ABC. All I
can say is GONE TOO SOON. Witches of East End on Lifetime (one of Enzer’s top
shows) also got cancelled this week. Someone has to do something about all
these cancellations! SERIOUSLY, this is no joke. Some of these shows are really
good and deserve to be on-the-air for at least three years! The executive producers
shouldn’t just give up; they should make a plan, look for another channel or
something. I wish they all could learn from The Game on BET. Those guys made a
plan and it worked out.
Moving on,
The Voice on NBC is getting better. Hallelujah! The new coaches have added so
much value and they’ve rejuvenated the show. I’m not so sure about the
contestants but then again The Voice is not really known for producing people
like Kelly Clarkson and Carrie Underwood. Yes, I like The Voice but it seems
like it’s more about the coaches and their new releases, just saying. I’m
sad that Gwen Stefani is not returning for the next season. I was hoping
Pharrell would skip a season and make way for Usher who I heard isn’t having a
good year.
MUSIC SPOT
Can we
please move on from Taylor Swift’s #ShakeItOff. It’s a good song, I loved it
when it was fresh but it’s getting old. I also hope that #ShakeItOff will not
be the only hit on Taylor’s 1989 album. Please, God.
There’s so
much good music circulating this fall/winter. Nick Jonas is flying solo and I
think he will make it. I love his new songs. They are so funky and I can tell
he took his time. George Ezra is also freaking amazing. He has this unique voice
that I have never heard before and his music is deep.
Jessie J is (of course) worth mentioning. J’adore Jessie
J. Besides the fact that the songs on her new album are too racy, I like the
sound. They are definitely club bangers and she will obviously be successful
this year because (in case you haven’t heard) SEX SALES.
IN THE NEWS
The
Canadian Government has decided to stop issuing visas to citizens from some
parts of the world. I think it’s a dumb idea. Most of the people that are
travelling to The Americas from the Ebola affected countries are
American/Canadian health care workers. Some of them even refuse to be
quarantined. So if they really want to stop the spread of Ebola to North
America they need to wake up and stop acting as if they issue out visas like
they are Halloween candy because we all know they don’t. How is it even possible
that other parts of Africa are Ebola free and yet North America is battling
with the disease? There must be some kind of magnet in North America that pulls
in all that West Africa has to offer.
In other
news the Democrats lost the U.S. mid-term elections. Experts are saying that
these results will make Obama’s last two years in office an unbearable hell.
There really isn’t anything new. What
America needs is a new party. The Democrats and Republicans have failed. The
Americans are not happy about anything: healthcare is a mess, the economy is
not up to standard and THE TERORRIST ATTACKS just won’t stop. What does a
population do? Sponsor a new party. Done.
Angela
Merkel, the German Chancellor, is threatening to kick the UK out of the EU if
they change their immigration laws. Before I comment on anything else, I didn’t
even know that Germany had that much power in the EU. The reason why I’m
excited about this is because I never thought that Germany had the guts to tell
the UK where to kiss. LOL. For me it’s not news it’s entertainment.
Okay, so
back to UK Immigration. What’s interesting about this whole issue is that the
UK is getting fed up of EU to UK migration. It’s weird because most people
including myself would expect Non-EU to UK migration to be the problem. I don’t
blame the British though because one of the reasons why you open up borders or
integrate with neighboring countries is so that you progress as a bloc:
economically, militarily, etc. If “smaller” countries or states in the bloc
begin to switch to dependent mode then there’s no point in working together
because you are no longer equal. Right? On the other hand important sectors
like the NHS might be in jeopardy if they decide to cut down on immigration. I
guess this is similar to what happened during the colonial era when the British
had to let go of their colonies in order to save their economy. Good Luck David
Cameron.
