#TheRoundUp by Enzer - No. 21

MUSIC SPOT

Is Britney Spears still the Princess of Pop? Has that question ever crossed your mind? 

I hope it has, because in this week’s edition of #TheRoundUp, I’m going to try to convince you to jump the fence and join me on the other side, LOL. You’re probably laughing in your seat thinking:

“Who could possibly beat Britney Spears?”

How about young star Demi Lovato? You know her, right? Ever thought of that one? She is adorable, isn’t she? If you think she is adorable now, in her twenties, then you should have seen her when she started off on popular children’s musical program Barney & Friends which she starred in alongside another pop sensation, Selena Gomez. Ah, the cutest. Oh, but that was just the beginning…

Her transition into television catered for tweens and teens was so impressive; I doubt there’s another Hollywood star out there that holds the same record. Her roles on Disney’s Sonny with a Chance and the Camp Rock films paved the way for her success in the music business including her very important job at Fox’s X-Factor USA where she shared the judging table with some of Hollywood’s finest (including Uncle Simon Cowell). 
Are we ever going to see Demi and Simon in one show ever again? They were one of the few reasons many switched to Fox when the X-Factor was on, I’m sure.

BACK TO THE MUSIC: Demi’s music has a lot to offer in the sense that it covers a wide range of topics. It’s all pop music, but it carries so many different meanings or messages, get it? She sings about love, boys, life, partying, success, failure and so much more, I’m typing this wondering why she hasn’t been given a worthy title yet. 
If she has to fight with Britney Spears to become the next Princess of Pop, I’d advise her to GOT FOR IT! 
If she ever loses the battle (LOL), she can at least count on the Enzer’s World (E.W.) Board’s Recognition
Yes, she is E.W.’s Top Female Pop Act for the 2nd E.W. Year (2013/2014).
The 2nd E.W. Year was her year; I’ll save the details for later.

HOT ON TV

On Sunday night, The 2015 MTV Movie Awards aired live from the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles to a global audience on MTV. The ceremony was hosted by comedienne Amy Schumer (I’m still not sure why she is famous, LOL) and was attended by some of Hollywood’s coolest celebrities. 

I enjoyed every bit of the live telecast and by the end of it all; I was satisfied and happy with the crew behind the scenes. The stage was EPIC! I have never seen anything like it! The music performances could’ve have been better and the jokes delivered by host Amy Schumer had me in stitches throughout. She should do this again! She is it!

AMERICAN IDOL ROUND-UP

When it was announced that the theme for this week was American Classics; I felt like burying myself in the sand or hanging out with my buddies, instead of watching Wednesday night’s broadcast. Thank God I decided to stay home and watch this week’s episode of American Idol because (surprisingly) I loved it! Some of the contestants struggled with the songs but the contestants that sang well, really sang well.

Jax finally had her big night! She was the best performer by far! She modernized the songs that she sang and brought out that edgy side of hers that we all had missed. The songs she sang sounded so current, I won’t be surprised if at least one of them topped some billboard chart. She belongs on a bigger stage.

BOTTOM TWO: - Nick and Quentin
