She has taken a lot of help from the R&B hit makers like Timbaland and Jay-Z. Rihanna has projected herself as a fresh faced teen and now has moved straight to the point where she is known as a superstar. It’s quite clear from her sound and image that image of Rihanna has been molded very carefully. At her age, where the image is considered everything, her unique style statement is compared to that of Diana Ross.

“Good girl gone bad” is a very stylish CD consisting of 12 tracks features up-tempo songs. All these songs are written very clearly and produced mainly for the dance floor. “Umbrella” is considered as the most powerful track of her album featuring Jay-Z. It’s a very strong, and a memorable track having pounding rhythm. This track has become a major hit in almost all the dance clubs throughout the world. This song has been produced very beautifully and is arranged very carefully. It has mixing of Jay-Z’s rap along with Rihanna’s voice.

There is another famous track in the album called “Shut up & Drive”. This is another number that is perfect for all the dance floors. Though this song, like other songs in the album has never topped the charts, but still it can be seen as a nice blend of music.

Besides above two there are other popular numbers in album like “Push Up” and “Don’t stop music”. “Push up” has used some pieces of the “Running With Night” featured by Lionel Richie while “Don’t Stop Music” has included some bits of “Wanna be starting something” of Michael Jackson.

Through her album Rihanna has paid a small homage to all the greats of the past. She has made a smart move by using some big stars of today like Ne Yo, in her sweet song called “That I Love You”. In her album Rihanna has tried to show the things that she can actually try to do musically. Her new album is perfect blend of different music compositions. If you are a party lover then you must go for this one.

He had made his Atlantic City debut on a casino hotel and it is part of his summer tour this year, which he promoted his latest solo album, otherwise a studi CD, the “Blacksummers Night”. I was able to go there since my friend told me about the latest concert happen in Atlantic City, New Jersey.

Since I am familiar of Borgata Hotel Casino and  Spa, I was able to buy ticket there with my friend, and it was exclusive which we are being reserved through dining seats, as we watched Maxwell doing his R & B thing, we were eating and enjoyed his songs. His album is currently ranked second in the Billboard chart, especially the two songs that I loved which are the “Cold” and “Bad Habits”.

Once the song has just been sung, the crowd immediately applauded and they are so much excited when he sang that song, especially me, who was one of the crowd. He also invited his special guest Chrisette Michele, which he thanked her for his opening act. I conclude that this concert of Maxwell is one of the best, and I would not forget about it.

During that day, I was told by a friend that there would be a concert held at the U.S. Capitol, in Washington D.C., as part of the celebration of the U.S. Independence Day, located at the West Lawn, and with the special participation of star-studded artists like Vanessa Williams, known as the “Queen of Soul”, a Grammy and Emmy award nominated singer and actress , whom we all know about her popularity since she won in a pageant in her early years.

So I joined with my friend watching the concert all day long. Also, those who were present during the 4th of July concert were Michael Feinstein, a multi-Grammy award nominee, Aretha Franklin,  and one of the world’s famous pianist Andrew von Ouyen with the National Symphony Orchestra.

They were so incredible and the concert was filled with thousands of people who witness and celebrate this very special day for our country with the presence of our famous artists which interests a lot of fans out there. Another thing that I enjoyed myself with the fans are the presence of the well-known characters from Sesame Street and the Muppets like Elmo, Big Bird, Kermit the Frog and many more companions. We have enjoyed this amazing concert not only for the country, but for all of us who enjoyed this special concert and I would never forget this special day.

I remember waking up a few weeks ago to the sound of my mailbox closing on the front door. I had been eagerly awaiting the tickets for the Dave Matthews Band concert. To my surprise I had finally got them in. I was absolutely thrilled that I would be hearing a band like DMB play in a live setting.

When I got to the venue, which was actually rather small, I didn’t know for sure what to expect. This was the first time I was at this particular place. I had got my tickets so late, I had to opt for seats that were further away from the stage. However, when I walked in and found my seats I was actually very satisfied with them. They were close enough to the stage that I could still see them easily and still feel the impact of the music. All at the same time, I knew in my head I had paid much less for my tickets than those sitting on the floor.

The opening band, whom I can’t even remember their name, were particularly not the best. They were okay, but you could tell that the crowd was just waiting for DMB to come on stage. Many were up walking around and buying t-shirts at the time that the opening band was playing. It was slightly rude, but not much different than most concerts.

When DMB came out to play, everyone went absolutely crazy. It really shocked me at how many people were there were such passionate fans. You could tell in their screams, hollering, and loud singing along with the songs that they absolutely loved them. DMB did not disappoint either. Their stage lighting was awesome which flickered along with the songs. DMB really brought the house down and was a lot of fun to see.
