The Voice Recap: A Diamond in the Rough

The Voice may be bringing a bit of the same after 13 seasons on the air, but Jennifer Hudson is a welcome addition to the panel. She oozes positivity, and that’s something required when coaching many hopefuls through the various stages of the process.  It was Blind Auditions Night Two, and we had some very solid performances to run down.  Who made it through to the next round? Let’s run down the performances below … Keisha Renee  “I Can’t Stop Loving You” Keisha’s song choice was on point. At this stage, it’s important to show off your vocal range, and Keisha definitely accomplished that goal.  She was confident and knew exactly what she needed to do to get to where she wanted in her career. Blake Shelton was big on her and quickly snapped her up for his team.  Maharasyi – “Tell Me Something Good” While Keisha chose the perfect song, the same could not be said for Maharasyi. You would think with her already having a recording career, she would know which song to sing to show off her singing voice. Luckily for her, Jennifer saw the potential and turned her chair around, but we can’t help but think it was a mistake.  Dylan Gerard – “Say You Won’t Let Go” Dylan did not sound great, but Jennifer helped him out and told him to change some things. This helped him sound way better, and Adam noticed this.  So, Adam got another one to join him! Red Marlow – “Swingin'” Red had a great country voice, and he had the perfect song to go along with it. We could definitely imagine him as a recording artist, and the coaches thought so.  Ultimately, he joined Team Blake.  Ashland Craft – “You Are My Sunshine” Ashland was the best singer of the night. It was perhaps one of the best auditions ever, and that was partly down to her confidence about the whole thing.  The coaches took notice, and she ultimately joined Team Miley. Miley is the best place for Ashland because we could see them dueting together.  So, that’s a wrap on Night 2, you guys. Which performers did you like best? Hit the comments below!

Noose Hanging In Front Yard Of Georgia Home As Halloween Decoration

Go here to read the rest:

In Cobb County, Georgia neighbors are upset about body hanging from a noose in another neighbors front yard as part of Halloween decorations. The front yard is decorated with tombstones witches, skeletons and a hooded body with its hands and feet tied hanging from a noose. “I just feel like Halloween is not an excuse to use that kind of symbolism,” says a neighbor who asked to remain unknown. According to WSB-TV Atlanta , the woman noticed it while out for a walk on Monday, September 25, 2017. Shocked by the decoration, she took a picture and shared it, She was hoping to start a conversation about it as it’s a terrible reminder of lynching in America. Carl Willis a reporter for WSB-TV went up to the house to see if he could get an answer for the decorations. A man answered saying that it was his roommates. He gave information to contact his roommate but nobody answered any calls. The anonymous neighbor was afraid to go up and ask saying, “What’s even scarier is people are going to ask, ‘well, did you go up and ask them?’” She continued, “I felt scared to go to their front door because I don’t know what kind of people live in that household.” Other neighbors commented saying they didn’t see the problem with the decoration. “This is 2017. We need to change it, and if that is your typical Halloween decoration, then it’s absolutely not okay,” she said. “It was not okay when we did it back in the day, and it’s not okay now.” When Willis returned to the house for a response the decoration was taken down.

Olivia Holt Needs To Clean Up A Mess She Made

I don’t know if these pictures of Olivia Holt dressed up as a sexy maid is just some “clever” photoshoot costume or if the former Disney Channel actress-turned-wannabe pop star is testing out another career change, but all I know is, I could definitely use Olivia’s services to clean up a huge mess I just made over at Tuna HQ. …Get your minds out of the gutter, people. I’m talking about the Cheeto stains all over my mom’s basement. Call me, Olivia!

Watch: Cardi B Opens Up About Offset, Rumored Beef With Nicki Minaj & More

See the original post:

Source: Robin Marchant / Getty Cardi B has had a whirlwind of year and she shows no signs of stopping the fun anytime soon. Just a day after being the belle of Rihanna ‘s Diamond Ball event in NYC, the rapper stopped by Power 105.1’s Breakfast Club and dished on all things new with Cardi B. What fans want to hear most from the BX beauty is details about her now public relationship with Offset of Migos. Host Angela Yee delve right into Cardi and Offset’s love affair by asking the “Bodak Yellow” rapper if she feels competitive around her boyfriend, using their BET nominations as an example. Cardi gushed, “I think he would want me to win, to be honest with you.” Charlamagne Tha God couldn’t let the relationship talk die without asking the former Love & Hip Hop star if she’s in love, to which she answered, “Why you gotta use the L word for? You know I’m too gangsta to use those types of words, you know what I’m sayin’.” Since Cardi wouldn’t budge when it came to talking about her relationship, the hosts moved on to another hot topic that involved popular personality this summer — her rumored beef with Nicki Minaj . Cardi said of the alleged squabble, “We just conversated man. And that’s it. People don’t understand though, that I got like beef with like ten bitches in the hood, and I still be in the hood.” As for her highly anticipated album, Cardi revealed that the October released date has unfortunately been pushed back. She added, “I wanted to drop next month. Every single time I think, ‘I got all the 10 songs,’ I’m like, ‘I’m buggin’. These ain’t it.’ It’s just like, ‘Damn! I’m competing with myself. I’m competing with the goddamn No. 2 record and stuff.’” Sounds fishy. Despite the pint sized fake drama, Cardi B’s glow up is real! Congrats on all your success.

Here’s How Iggy Azalea Went From Potential Star To Past Tense

The rest is here:

Source: Scott Legato / Getty Iggy Azalea ‘s career could be likened to a celestial comet: nice to look at, only comes around every years and if you blink, you could miss it. Back in  2010, when Nicki Minaj was starting her tenure as reigning queen of rap, all anyone could talk about was he Australian-bred rapper being the hottest thing to hit hip hop in a long time. The fact that she’s not American and White added to her appeal, but what lead to her demise? Jezebel recently did an article entitled “The Making and Unmaking of Iggy Azalea” and touched on important points in her career that were pivotal to her success. The article points out that Polow Da Don was interested in Iggy ever since he met her in Atlanta in 2010 when she was just dropping mixtapes. The producer said of his first encounter with Iggy, “She just looked exotic. She looked like a star. If she was in entertainment, I wanted to work with her. If she wasn’t, I wanted to talk to her, try to take her out on a date or something.” Source: Kevin Mazur/AMA2014 / Getty After bouncing around from mentor to mentor, who tried to make her go pop, Polow says, “I told her, ‘Nobody’s gonna buy you being hood.’” Due to their creative differences, Iggy and Polow parted ways — then she moved on to another Atlanta great, T.I. Before officially working with Grand Hustle, Iggy continued to grind her way to hit records, and finally landed one by the end of 2014. “Fancy” set the charts on fire and became 2015’s summer anthem. From there, she took her talents to features and hopped on tracks with everyone from Ariana Grande to Britney Spea r s . She was basically the pop world’s go to rapper at the time. Iggy was so popular that she even landed a modeling contract with Wilhelmina. Then, according to Jezebel, “Iggy became a punchline and went from being hailed as a white rap savior to, three years later, being a digital-era Vanilla Ice.” Her social media beefs with everyone from Azelia Banks to Q-Tip, plus her tumultuous relationship with Nick Young, started to overshadow the music. In a June interview with The Guardian, singer Halsey , who is also White, summarized Iggy’s career in a nutshell, saying “She had a complete disregard for Black culture. F***ing moron. I watched her career dissolve and it fascinated me.” Halsey isn’t the only one who noticed her disregard for the culture, hip hop as a whole was demanding for her to stop mocking the art of hip hop. Last year and 2017 were ice-cold years for Iggy professionally, but her personal life has overshadowed her music — hence the reason she posted more about her five-minute long relationship with French Montana   than she did her sophomore album. Iggy Azalea Would Totally Yes’ If French Montana Proposed She … : https://t.co/W5gpie9iX2 …. pic.twitter.com/4xa9BYemHz — BINGBING Cocktail (@BINGBING_CKTAIL) February 19, 2017 Bottom line, after seven years in the game, we still haven’t gotten to the heart of who Iggy Azalea is besides a rapper from Australia. Maybe 2018 will see the rebirth of Iggy Iggs on the music charts? Check out the full Jezebel article here . [ione_media_gallery src=”https://globalgrind.cassiuslife.com” id=”4015610″ overlay=”true”]
