Best Singers Ranked According to Vocal Range: Who’s the Greatest of All Time?!

Posted on May 22, 2014 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

A recent study of past and present pop music sought to rank the greatest singers of all time on the basis of their vocal range. We think it’s safe to say the results are… surprising. 17 Great Singers Ranked By Vocal Range! 1. Taylor Swift – #77 Taylor glammed up for the red carpet. Photos like this remind us why she’s had so many boyfriends. For example, if you can predict ahead of time which two crooners tied for the top spot, well then you, sir or madam, have quite the ear for music. You should probably replace all three judges on American Idol and produce Caleb Johnson ‘s first number one record. In other words, you can’t predict this list. No one can. We’ve all got our ideas of what constitutes good and bad music and this list throws concepts like creative ingenuity, songwriting ability and stage presence right out the window and judges artists solely by the highest and lowest notes they can hit. So there is a world in which Miley Cyrus and Bob Dylan are ranked side-by-side and you can’t even argue against it because, hey…it’s science. Check out the gallery above for some of the more jaw-dropping entries on the list. Bear in mind, this isn’t a comprehensive study of every singer that ever recorded, just a sampling of the top pop singers of the past 50 years, and the way they stack up against one another is sometimes unbelievable. Surprising revelations include: Katy Perry is a better singer than Taylor Swift? John Lennon and Elvis Presley have the exact same vocal range? Eminem is considered a singer?! So while John Kaufman won the big prize last night, this list answers the question of who is really The Voice. The answer(s) are certainly unexpected. As is this pretty decent cover of Dylan’s “You’re Gonna Make Me Lonesome When You Go” by Miley. Maybe they’re not so different after all! Miley Cyrus ft. Johnzo West – You’re Gonna Make Me Lonesome When You Go

The Bachelorette Preview: Will Andi Dorfman Find Love … or Losers?

Posted on May 22, 2014 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Andi Dorfman, The Bachelorette, is ready to find love after kicking Juan Pablo Galavis to the curb following a night in the Fantasy Suite that was anything but fantastic. We recently met her 25 men (plus party-crasher Chris Bukowski ) and now the race is on to find out if she’ll find the man of her dreams among these contestants. The Bachelorette spoilers break it down for us, but where’s the fun in that? Isn’t it much more fun to watch a three-minute preview to see if we can guess whether or not this season of The Bachelorette will be a success? Of course it is. Let’s do it! The Bachelorette Season 10 Preview Some of The Bachelorette Season 10 highlights include: Repeated mentioning that this is a “once in a lifetime opportunity” because it’s totally not possible to fall in love with someone unless you travel around the world while doing so. Someone stating that this is “what life’s all about.” And here we thought it was about the Hokey Pokey. It gets better. Much better. We can look forward to: One “I’m 100% crazy about you” and at least three “I’m falling in love with you” proclamations Insane jealousy and possessive feels Booze Testosterone, preening like male peacocks to win Andi’s affections, and the promise of testing another guy’s manhood More booze and what appears to be puking over a balcony Andi having a complete meltdown from exhaustion and uttering the phrases: “this is so real to me,” “my head is freaking spinning,” and “I just want to leave.” Alcohol may or may not be involved. Man tears And finally, the p ièce de résistance … Andi Dorfman declares fairy tales to be false when she says “it’s a fairy tale for a reason because it doesn’t happen.” SUPER. Here’s a look at the 25 men we’ll see participating in this dramatic attempt to find love on The Bachelorette Season 10. The Bachelorette Season 10 Cast 1. Eric Eric Hill is the The Bachelorette contestant who passed away after the season, which has been dedicated to his memory.

V. Stiviano: Who the Heck is She?

Posted on April 28, 2014 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

By now, even non-sports fans know who Donald Sterling is: He’s the bigoted billionaire who owns the Los Angeles Clippers and who doesn’t believe a respectable white person should be seen in public with an African-American . But what about V. Stiviano, the woman who taped many conversations with Sterling and who is at the center of this race-based scandal? Who the heck is this person?!? Only 31, Stiviano was born Maria Vanessa Perez. She spent years telling folks that she served as Sterling’s “archivist,” denying talk that she was the 80-year old’s girlfriend. But TMZ has obtained court documents – filed this month in conjunction with a lawsuit against Stiviano, in which Sterling’s wife accuses her of duping the owner out of millions of dollars – that tell a different story. Donald Sterling Racist Recording In these legal papers, Stiviano admits that she’s been involved personally with Sterling for years. The relationship is undefined, but Stiviano says it was “neither [a] hidden, closeted, nor a clandestine ‘affair’ at any time,” adding it was “open notorious, obvious and long standing.” V. Stiviano also refers to herself as a prop to show off Sterling’s “sexual prowess.” And, in the end apparently, also a prop to show off his extreme racism. Sterling and Stiviano are reportedly working on a settlement that will stop the leaking of these damaging recordings. Insiders say Stiviano is in possession of hundreds of hours worth of tapes, each depicting Donald Sterling as an awful human being, and that she’s willing to accept money in exchange for keeping the rest quiet.

Race Matters: African Clinic Advises Dark-Skinned Couples To Have Biracial Babies “To Make The Country Better”

Posted on February 1, 2014 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

African Fertility Clinic Advises Dark Skinned Couples To Have Biracial Babies One would assume that beautiful dark skin is most appreciated in Africa, but one fertility clinic in Ghana seems to think otherwise and is advising black couples to think that way also. via Kulture Kritic Skin complexion is an issue for people of color all over the world and in Ghana, there’s a new business that is on a mission to breed what they call “half-caste” babies for a better Africa. In Ghana, the fairer skinned people are often placed on a higher pedestal and are in greater demand for dates. Some refer to them as hotcakes because of their lighter skin color. Modern science, namely artificial insemination, is credited with having the ability to breed mixed-raced or half-caste babies without the need to marry or be intimate with a person of another race. In Accra, Ghana, there’s a gallant effort being made to create a new society in Africa referred to as a “Half-Caste World” through artificial insemination which it believes will position Africa for a better future. “Half-caste World is founded to transform Africa into the land of riches and beauty, the land of every man’s dream. We believe life began in African and will end in Africa,” the advocates posted on their Facebook page. This is shameful and ridiculous. Hopefully these couples aren’t buying into this bullisht… Shutterstock

Shook Ones: Steve Harvey Scared Wife Majorie Would Divorce Him Over $20 Million Tax Lien

Posted on January 12, 2014 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Steve Harvey Almost Divorced Over $20 Million Tax Lien Considering how he dogged his ex-wife Mary out, it’s surprising karma didn’t bite him in his azz. According to Sister 2 Sister: There was a time when Steve Harvey’s people thought his marriage might not work out. Steve seemingly can’t say enough great things about his wife Marjorie Harvey whenever the topic of relationships come up. However, not everyone in his circle has always been so complimentary. He revealed to Essence that not long after their wedding the comedian-turned-talk show host was slammed with a $20 million tax lien. The lien came after it was discovered that Steve’s accountant had been holding onto years worth of the funny man’s tax returns without filing them. At the time, the people in Steve’s camp advised him to keep the devastating news from Marjorie. “She’ll leave you,” Steve recalled them saying. “This is the happiest we’ve ever seen you. …Nobody is going to stick around with this kind of mess.” Ignoring their advice, Steve decided to be honest with Marjorie about the financial situation because he was confident in her dedication to him. “I said, ‘If this woman leaves me over this, I will be the most surprised man on planet Earth,’” Steve shared. “ Marjorie stayed.” No one could be more thankful about that than he is because he doesn’t know that he’d be where he is today if she’d left. “Every great man has a woman… I didn’t say successful man, I said great man,” said Steve. “Do you think Dr. Martin Luther King was anything without Coretta? You take Michelle out of Barack Obama’s equation, and he is a whole other dude out there. Two thumbs up for strong black matrimony-dom. WENN
