Owl City

As you know I detest mainstream Disney songs, but that doesn't mean I'm obsessed with heavy metal rock. No, I prefer the happy, electronic Owl City. Owl City rocks, and I'm not saying that from the point of view of a one time listener, no, I AM THE TRUE FAN!!!!!!!!!! I discovered them almost a year ago, before his popularity took off and all that. I own almost all the music and know all the lyrics, so I guess you know how I feel about it! Owl City's music is fun, happy light and cheery. Adam Young has a real touch that makes the the music the just right mix of everything. This 23 year old isn't a billboard pop singer with just enough talent not to get booted out, but a really talented guy. His songs show a creative happy side to life that is sometimes hard to see. Another great thing about Owl City is the variety. He's got strings, piano, drums, and of course vocals. I give Owl City an A++++++ for the fun and sun of the music. Check it out on iTunes or other places you get music.

Disney

Instead of churning out several blogs about the epic failure of Disney I choose to make one blog, pulling all of it together. Don't get me wrong, the Disney classics, like Toy Story, Cinderella, and Sleeping Beauty, are great. What annoys me is the new Disney that seems to need to force all of their kids to sing. And the shows, well they've only got one good show. Phineas and Ferb's crazy antics are sure to give you a laugh, but other than that the only laughs I get from Disney Channel is laughing at the creepy shows and the crazy fans screaming as The Jonas Brothers screech their demented lyrics. Then there is Hannah Montana. She is the alter-ego of Miley Cyrus who is annoying, but Hannah Montana really gets on my nerves. She sounds awful, not to mention her horrifying t.v. show. And I know they're the same people blah-blah-blah. At least the music Miley Cyrus produces as her self is at least a bit more mature, while Hannah Montana focuses on little kids, while singing about relationships, it's really stupid! So, I'm sorry if I hurt your feelings in this post, but it's my honest opinion! I give Disney a C+. I would give it more were I not including Hannah Montana, The Jonas Brothers, and Demi Lavato. For younger kids it seems like it focuses to much on relationships and stuff like that, but a lot of kids like it, so, I guess I can't stop them!

Glee!

By now I assume you've heard of Glee, you know, the t.v. show? Of course you do! It's the one with the crazy singing high school kids! WRONG!!!!!!!!! Glee is not only about crazy singing high school kids, but about finding who you are. And no it's not cheesy!!!! The show is really quite funny! The cheer leading captain Sue is, in my opinion, one of the most hilarious characters ever! not to mention Kurt, my favorite character. The music varys from Madonna to The Beatles to rap. And all the songs get there own unique Glee twist. Unfortunately for you I won't tell you anything about it except that it's funny, sweet, and totally awesome! Fortunately for you, that means you have to watch it!!!!!!! Channel 12, 9 o'clock, Tuesdays, or check it out on wherever you watch t.v. on-line. I give it an A+++++++++ DON'T MISS IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Harry Potter

For my first blog I'm going to go for an old classic, and my personal favorite. HARRY POTTER! Okay so we've all seen the movies, but the books are really much better. In general the books are about dark vs. light, and saving the world. During the books Harry really grows, and learns. He learns about his past his future, and the ominous Lord Voldemort. He gets wonderful friends and even falls in love. J.K. Rowlings writing really brings the story to life,even though it's magical. I give this book an A++++++ It's great series for all ages and is a wonderful series. But remember, READ THE BOOKS FIRST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
