#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!
