Whitney Houston's 'I Look To You'

After seven years, and a multitude of personal problems, Whitney Houston, released her come back album, 'I Look To You', this past Monday. The album is expected to sell over 200,000 copies in its first week of release in America!



Songs on the album
1. Million Dollar Bill
2. Nothin' But Love
3. Call You Tonight
4. I Look To You
5. Like I Never Left
6. A Song For You
7. I Didn't Know My Own Strength
8. Worth It
9. For The Lovers
10. I Got You
11. Salute

Her last album, Just Whitney, was a little disappointing, so expectations aren't particularly high for I Look To You, although a lot of people I've spoken to about this new album have had only positive things to say.

I haven't heard any of the songs...have you? If you have, what would you rate it?

And do you think this come back album will re-establish her as the greatest living singer, or turn out to be a disappointment?

News of the day
Gunmen kill 17 people at a drug rehab in Mexico
Gunmen broke into a drug rehabilitation centre and shot 17 people dead in a northern Mexican border city, an official said.

The attackers on Wednesday broke down the door of El Aliviane center in Ciudad Juarez, lined up their victims against a wall and opened fire, said Arturo Sandoval, a spokesman for the regional prosecutors' office. At least five people were injured.

Authorities had no immediate suspects or information on the victims. Ciudad Juarez, across the border from El Paso, Texas, is Mexico's most violent city, with at least 1,400 people killed this year alone. Most of the homicides are tied to drug gang violence.

Dozens of sobbing relatives rushed to the center to find out if their loved ones were among the dead. Soldiers and federal agents patrolled the streets surrounding the center in the Bellavista neighborhood.

President Felipe Calderon sent thousands more troops and federal police to Ciudad Juarez earlier this year, but the surge has done little to stem the raging violence. The city is home to the Juarez drug cartel, which is battling other gangs for trafficking and dealing turf.
Really sad...

Is it a romance or a bromance? + Celebrity Bromance

They were best friends...or so I thought, until I saw one whispering into the ears of the other...

There was something about that moment that got me suspicious, especially the way the other one giggled...lol

Now I'm wondering: are they just best friends or is there something else going on between them? Like a romance perhaps...???

Some guys are very close, share secrets, spend a lot of time together. Most times they are just best friends, but sometimes it’s more than that...

How can you tell it's a romance not a bromance?

Bromance: There is no romance that goes on between then. It's just friend friendly love for each other. They're good friends, They're best friends. They care for each other. They look out for each other. They are completely into girls, they don’t even share girls. Bromance don’t share.


Signs it’s a romance not a bromance ...(Not in most cases though!)
1. They co-ordinate clothes... when going out together, they co-ordinate their outfits.
2. Three's a crowd...they hardly accommodate a third person in their circle.

3. Sleep overs...They don't live together but they are always sleeping over at each other's cribs

4. Gifts...They are always giving each other expensive gifts, treats...etc

5. ???


What other signs do you know?

Nico Gravity VS Timaya

I didn't even know of the existence of this song until I went to my youngest sister's room and saw this piece of paper with the lyrics to a song I found out after reading to be a diss song by an artist called Nico Gravity to Timaya.

My sis, Benita, sat down for almost an hour to get down the lyrics of the song...amebo runs in my family...lol. Fortunately my younger brother had the song in his collection and I listened to it...loved it!

And like a true amebo myself, I thought to share :-)

Check out the lyrics of the song...




I wan answer Timaya - Nico Gravity

I wan pieces the maga
I wan enter the small boy wey tell everybody say im be egberi papa
The thing wey dey vex me be say nowadays children dem no dey get respect
If you give them microphone make them sing wetin dem sabi na to dey praise themselves
During our time, I say no be like this
Musician dey blow, musician dey fade
If you never blow, my brother wait for your turn
If you don blow, make you no use am dey pose
No use an dey brag, no use am dey show off o

See Timaya, e too dey pose
See Timaya, e too dey brag
Anywhere he enter na so e go dey pose
Scatter im face, carry shoulder up
He buy motor, he go take am sing
He f**k t*t*, he go take am sing
He smoke I**o, he go take am sing
He rent flat, he go take am sing

Me I take am say na lack of education
He no sabi handle fame and fortune
He no ever believe say he go get money
When small money come, e come enter im head
Come scatter im brain, come make am dey feel like egbe
Original egbe the papa

Chorus
I wan finish Timaya
I wan pieces the maga
I wan scatter the mugu
I wan enter the small boy wey tell every body say im be egberi papa

Well right now today today Naija dey gbadun your style
Thank God for your life, I happy say you dey shine
But I hope say no be only motor you just dey buy
I hope you dey put some money for bank
Because I hear you dey talk of Camry 2.2
And I hear you dey talk about Toyota Spider
Small thing you for tell us say you buy helicopter

See, I get small advice eh, I hope say you dey plan for your future well
I get one secret to tell you, no musician go reign forever
I get one koko to yarn you, one day Naija go bone your face o
Remember say na only one style you dey use
Remember say na *** dem dey use for your voice
One day your juju go clear from people eyes
That time if you sing, e go be dem like say na noise

Remember say you never reign reach Kimono
Remember say you never reign reach Baba Fryo
Remember say you never reign reach Daddy Showkey
Remember say you never reign reach Daniel Wilson
Remember say you never reign reach Blackky
Remember say you never reign reach Danfo Drivers
Remember say you never reign reach Shina Peters
Remember say you never reign reach Tuface Idibia

All these people dem reign, dem let person hear word
E don reach your turn, everyday na to dey pose
You don forget say to reign na luck, no be sabi and no be by work
So my paddy make you no come here dey start to dey pamurogo, carry shoulder up just like a tolotolo
Blah blah blah....
*The End*

So what do ya say? Wise words or just words from a player hater?
