Sexing it Up

Saturday, August 7th, 2010

Lately there has been a lot of talk about sexing it up so to say, it was even mentioned on here before. In most cases the subject is Miley Cyrus or Taylor Momsen and the impression is given that they are the only one who use their womanly assets. You know what? I don’t think that’s true.

There is no real way around it, Taylor and Miley don’t exactly wear a lot on stage. So yes, they are trying to be sexy. To what level and why they do it is something only they can truly answer, doesn’t mean we can’t make an eduction guess from observations. As it seems to me, Taylor Momsen is mainly trying to shock people, it’s not so much about being sexy but more about what will get people to criticize her more. That is what she seems to want and it’s working, people are talking about it.

Miley isn’t that way I think. Yes of course she’s also trying to be sexy but as I’ve stated before I think it’s more a case of her being a bit too confident about her body at times. I don’t think it is something that is actually thought out by image people, mainly because of her casual outfits. At the moment she is in Detroit and there are no paparazzi around, however when there are fan pictures around the internet she dresses exactly the same way as she does in Los Angeles. If it was all an image issue she wouldn’t need to be doing that there, so to me that theory is debunked. (more…)

This whole Disney star thing

Thursday, July 29th, 2010

Selena Gomez just finished a big run of promotional activities for her movie Ramona and Beezus and through all of that something very annoying popped up again. While it seemed like the age old “Selena Gomez is replacing Miley Cyrus as a Disney star” was dying down a bit, it started up again. While I’ve said things about that in the past all those new statements about it made me think a bit.

It’s probably not a secret that I prefer Miley Cyrus over Selena Gomez. I won’t say that one is the better actor because I just haven’t seen enough of either of them to make that final judgment. Miley has done The Last Song yes and to me that shows that she has potential but that she also has a lot to learn. What I’ve seen of Selena’s acting is DVD and TV stuff and there she’s only really played the same character over and over again. Will have to see how she does in tougher roles.

Though I would have to add, if we ever get to see her in tougher roles. Right now Selena just seems a bit too safe in her career choices for my liking. That’s always been my main gripe with Selena anyway, it’s all a bit too sweet. Also when I look at her music, it’s all safe standard pop, there is no message behind the music. Can’t say that I take her music career that serious, also when I see her performing live there just seems to be this little bit of stage presence missing. That’s besides using backing tracks which to me is a no no for a singer, especially when you go on a nationwide talent show to perform. Which Selena did while performing on the America’s Got Talent results show, I actually expected the buzzers to go off at one point. (more…)

I don’t get Disney

Tuesday, June 29th, 2010

I don’t get Disney. Well, mainly I don’t get the Disney Channel. So yeah, I don’t work in the business or do I have inside sources, I’m only an outside observer. I’m a consumer though, I see what they do and what they release and I get an impression of the company through that. Impressions can be important for a company image and whether a company will be or will remain successful. Going by the programming of Disney Channel right now I actually think that their ratings can only go down right now.

Here is the thing, Hannah Montana as a show is winding down as everyone knows, the last season has been wrapped and now all that remains is to air the remaining episodes. That’s already the first problem, the fourth season of Hannah Montana only has something like fourteen episodes which will start airing in July. The last episode however won’t be aired until well into 2011, how does that work? Like always really, erratic airing schedules. Something that Disney does to all their shows but none as bad as Hannah Montana.

Hannah Montana has done a lot for Disney, it has made them a lot of money, got them a lot of viewers. So the show is something that should be treated with respect, let it end in a proper way. I don’t know what the season will be like but there is only one real way to end it properly, give the show a solid last run. Just get it over with and air the episodes in a nice steady pace, best even once a week. I know I’m not the only one who feels that way, a lot of people do. Disney however wants to milk the product as long as possible and will drag it on forever. That’s not how to keep viewers interested and that’s how you’re supposed to end a show that has done so much for you. (more…)

Who is the Biggest Disney Star?

Saturday, January 30th, 2010

It’s in the media, around the internet, it’s everywhere. The constant debate of who is the bigger and better Disney star, is it Miley Cyrus, Selena Gomez or Demi Lovato? Lets find out.

What can we compare them on? All three of them are active in the same segments of entertainment really, they each have their own Disney Channel show, they have a record deal with Hollywood Records and they do movies. So it should be quite easy to compare them on things, also included will be things like awards of course seeing that is everything the entertainment industry revolves around. We’ll even include some less obvious categories towards the end but we have to be thorough. Points will be awarded, 5 points for a victory, 3 points for a second place and 1 point for the last place.

Rising Starlets 2009

Sunday, December 27th, 2009

So I have this opinion on all sorts of lists that keep showing up around the internet. They are all pointless, who is best? That is something people usually make up for themselves, you can’t exactly be told who is best by some random person. That still is a personal opinion from that single person. Here I’m talking about all the blogs and sites that make random lists, usually not consulting any kind of vote though those are quite pointless as well. So what to do, those lists will keep showing up around the internet.

Simple enough solution, here is the annual list of rising starlets so now the 2009 edition. So young actresses and musicians in Hollywood who I feel have done the most improvement in their career rated by projects, popularity etc. Yes, it is full of my opinion so no one can tell me I’m wrong. Here we go. (more…)
