This is Me by Demi Lovato

She is best known as Mitchie Torres in the Disney Channel Original Movie, Camp Rock. Her real name is Demetria Devonne "Demi" Lovato and she was born last August 20, 1992. Her debut album Don’t Forget which was released September 23, 2008 hit the second spot on the Billboard 200 selling over 89, 000 copies for the first week.

Demi started acting at the age of six, when she played as Angela on Barney & Friends, there she met her best friend, Selena Gomez. As time went on Demi pursued her singing and instrumental career, and she guest starred on Prison Break, Split Ends (pilot) and Just Jordan. In January 2007 she landed a series regular role as Charlotte Adams on the Disney Channel original short series As the Bell Rings, which premiered on August 26, 2007 during Disney's Back-to-School special night. She will soon be starring in a new Disney Channel original series called Sonny With a Chance that began production in September 2008.

She is an excellent singer and a good songwriter as well as a musician, playing guitar and piano since the age of eleven. Demi is one of the most promising teen pop singer today. I love listening to her songs and reading write-ups about her, I also frequent her blog which really has a vast number of fans and followers. Featuring today is one of my favorite song of Demi which is “This Is Me". Below is a scene in Final Jam at the end of Camp Rock. I downloaded this one from Youtube and I think this full video came from the TheSawRemix.

LYRICS:

I've always been the kind of girl
That hid my face
So afraid to tell the world
What I've got to say
But I have this dream
Bright inside of me
I'm gonna let it show, it's time
To let you know
To let you know

This is real, this is me
I'm exactly where
I'm suppose to be, now
Gonna let the light, shine on me
Now I've found, who I am
There's no way to hold it in
No more hiding who I want to be
This is me

Do you know what it's like
To feel so in the dark
To dream about a life
Where you're the shining star
Even though it seems
Like it's too far away
I have to believe in myself
It's the only way

This is real, This is me
I'm exactly where I'm suppose to be, now
Gonna let the light, shine on me
Now I've found, who I am
There's no way to hold it in
No more hiding who I want to be
This is me

You're the voice I hear inside my head
The reason that I'm singing
I need to find you, I gotta find you
You're the missing piece I need
The song inside of me
I need to find you, I gotta find you

This is real, this is me
I'm exactly where I'm suppose to be, now
Gonna let the light, shine on me

Bubbly by Colbie Caillat

Her great songs will really lift your heart, warm your soul and make you feel good. Colbie Marie Caillat is her real name and she was born May 28, 1985 in Newbury Park, California.

Caillat grew up in the idyllic clime of Malibu, California with music all around her. Her father, Ken Caillat, co-produced Fleetwood Mac's "Rumours" and "Tusk" albums and later ran his own record label. As a child she recalls the likes of Mick Fleetwood and John McVie being around. "Of course I've learned a lot from them. You'd be a fool not to," she says. Yet she is totally her own woman.

She began singing with serious intent at the age of 11 after hearing Lauryn Hill's version of Killing Me Softly. "I think her voice is absolutely beautiful and it made me want to start singing so I entered a talent show and of course I sang a Lauryn Hill song." As she grew older, however, her father offered one crucial piece of advice. It was all very well having a great voice, he pointed out, the people who command real respect in the music business are the songwriters. "I thought about that for a long time", she says.

The popularity of Caillat's MySpace profile led her to become the number-one unsigned singer in her genre for four months. Her popularity on the social network was partially due to her song "Bubbly," and the songs on her profile have been played more than forty-six million times (as of May 31, 2008). For the week of July 17, 2007, "Bubbly" was featured on the iTunes Store as the free "Single of the Week". The promotion coincided with the release of Coco, her debut studio album. Caillat was also spotlighted by Rhapsody during the 2007 Black Friday Sale at Best Buy.

Giving you the hottest hit on my list of favorites , let's listen to her cool song Bubbly:

Thanks God I Found You by Mariah Carey

Another personal favorite, "Thank God I Found You" is a song written and produced by Ms. Mariah Carey, Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis for Mariah Carey's sixth album entitled Rainbow (1999). It features Joe, and boyband 98 Degrees, and was inspired by Carey's boyfriend at the time, Luis Miguel. The romantic ballad provides a metaphorical closure for Carey's album Rainbow, as it is the "rainbow" that comes after the "storm" . It was released with a remix as the second single from the album in 2000 (see 2000 in music) and reached number one in the United States, but was only moderately successful in other countries.

The song continuously captures my heart everytime I hear it and I won't mind listening to the song and watching the video all day long. I hope you'll enjoy it too....

[MC:]
Ahhhm
Mhhh
[98 Degrees & Joe:]
Oh yeah

[MC:]
I would give up everything
Before I'd seperate myself from you
After so much suffering
I finally found unvarnished truth
I was all by myself for the longest time
So cold inside
And the hurt from the heartache would not subside
I felt like dying
Until you saved my life

[all:]
Thank God I found you
(Yeah yeah)
I was lost without you
(I was lost)
My every wish and every dream
(Mmmmh)
Somehow became reality
When you brought the sunlight
Completed my whole life
I'm overwhelmed with graditude
'Cause baby I'm so thankful I found you

[MC & Joe:]
Mmmh
Oh yeah
Whoaaaaaa
Oh yeah

[98 Degrees & Joe:]
I will give you everything (everything)
There's nothing in this world I wouldn't do (oh no)
To ensure your happiness
I'll cherish every part of you
'Cause without you beside me I can't survive
Don't wanna try
(I don't wanna try)
If you keeping me warm each and every night
I'll be allright (be allright)
'Cause I need you in my life

[all:]
Ooooh
Thank God I found you
(I'm thanking you)
I was lost without you
(So lost without you)
My every wish and every dream
(Every wish, every dream)
Somehow became reality
When you brought the sunlight (brought the sunlight)
Completed my whole life (completed)
I'm overwhelmed with graditude (overwhelmed with graditude)
('Cause baby I'm so thankful I found you)
And I'm so thankful I found you

[MC & Joe:]
Oooooh
(See)
See I was so desolate before you came to me
Looking back (looking back)
I guess it shows that we were destined
To shine over the rain to appreciate
The gift of what we have
And I'd go through it all over again
To be able to feel
This way
(This way)

[all:]
Thank God I found you
(Yeah yeah)
I was lost without you
(Lost without you baby)
My every wish and every dream
(And every dream)
Somehow became reality
Oooooooh
When you brought the sunlight
(Brought the light)
Completed my whole life
(My whole life)
I'm overwhelmed with graditude
See baby I'm so thankful I found you
Oooooooh
Thank God I found you
I was lost without you
I'm overwhelmed with graditude
(So overwhelmed)
My baby I'm so thankful I found
You
You
I'm overwhelmed with graditude
My baby I'm so thankful I found
(I found you)
You

Alice Cooper- I Never Cry

Rock songs , personally speaking , has never been my favorite. But it's noticeable that rock singers and artists are really amazing in creating love songs. To name a few , there's Bon Jovi , Aerosmith and Mr. Big . Our next artists pic doesn't seems to fit on a blog decorated by a butterfly , but who says that we have a limitation on posting an artist's picture or song here? As long as the song touches the soul, there's always a place for that here.

Alice Cooper (born Vincent Damon Furnier; February 4, 1948) is an American rock singer, songwriter and a musician. With a stage show that features guillotines, electric chairs, fake blood, and boa constrictors, Cooper has drawn equally from horror movies, vaudeville, heavy metal, and garage rock to create a theatrical brand of rock music that would come to be known as shock rock.

Without Alice Cooper, there might never have been the NY Dolls, KISS, Marilyn Manson, Nine Inch Nails, Motley Crue, Slipknot or Rob Zombie ... maybe not even David Bowie, or at least not Ziggy Stardust. The iconic hard rocker, who literally invented the concept of the rock concert as theater, returns to what he does best on Along Came a Spider (SPV Records), the 25th studio album of a long and illustrious career which began in 1969 with the release of Pretties for You on Frank Zappa's Straight label.

Alice Cooper is known for his social and witty persona offstage, The Rolling Stone Album Guide going so far as to refer to him as the world's most "beloved heavy metal entertainer". He helped to shape the sound and look of heavy metal, and is seen as being the person who "first introduced horror imagery to rock'n'roll, and whose stagecraft and showmanship have permanently transformed the genre". Away from music, Cooper is a film actor, a golfing celebrity, a restaurateur and, since 2004, a popular radio DJ with his classic rock shows Nights with Alice Cooper.

You may visit his website, actually one of the weirdest I’ve seen, at http://www.alicecooper.com/, for more information. Our featured song is a personal favorite of a very best friend of my boyfriend who will be graduating at De La Salle University this coming October 11, 2008. A tribute for Mr. Alberto Mangahas, I Never Cry by Alice Cooper. (Reference: http://www.alicecooper.com/ and wikipedia)
