ONE REPUBLIC
Surgida da cidade de Colorado Springs, OneRepublic está na ativa desde 2006 e começou a ter destaque no MySpace, sendo considerada uma das melhores bandas da comunidade. A banda começou com a junção do compositor e produtor Ryan Tedder [Vocal, guitarra, piano] ao seu amigo da escola, Zach Filkins [Guitarra, vocal]. Eles se mudaram pra Los Angeles, tiveram um problema com a primeira gravadora, até conhecerem Timbaland, com quem eles gravaram “Apologize”, que inicialmente saiu no cd “Timbaland Presents Shock Value” e depois, foi usada como o primeiro single do primeiro álbum da banda, “Dreaming out Loud” (2007). A canção virou hit na internet, recebendo milhares de downloads e chegando ao topo da Billboard Hot 100. Neste ano, mas dois singles foram lançados: “Stop & Stare” e “Say (All I Need)”. Os outros membros da banda: Eddie Fisher [Bateria, percussão], Brent Kutzle [Baixo, cello, vocal], Drew Brown [Guitarra].
______________________________________________________________________
PARAMORE
Formada em Franklin, Tennessee em 2004. Mas na verdade, tudo começou dois anos antes, quando Hayley Williams [19 anos] acabara de se mudar pra cidade e tinha conhecido os irmãos Josh e Zac Farro. Ela já fazia aulas de canto, e até tinha outra banda. O Paramore começou com Josh Farro [21 anos] na guitarra e vocal, Zac Farro [18 anos] na bateria, Jeremy Davis [22 anos] no baixo e Hayley Williams nos vocais, depois entrou Jason Bynum na guitarra rítmica. O nome da banda é derivado do nome de um antigo baixista da banda, uma vez que o grupo descobriu o significado da palavra Paramour (”Amante secreto”), que soa idêntica ao nome escolhido, então eles decidiram adotar o nome, usando a ortografia Paramore. Fazim apresentações em concertos e festivais, até assinarem com gravadora em 2005 e lançaram “All We Know Is Falling”. A banda foi mudando, e em 2007 lançaram “Riot!”, que estourou o sucesso da banda. Os singles desse álbum: “Misery Business”, “Crushcrushcrush”, “That’s What You Get” e “Decode”. Esse ano ainda sai o cd/dvd ao vivo, “The Final Riot!”. Foram indicados ao Grammy, e ganharam o MTV Video Music Brasil, além do Teen Choice Award.

# Busta Rhymes & Linkin Park - “We Made It”
eu não conheço esse Busta Rhymes não, mas eu gosto mt do Linkin Park! Sempre gostei da mistura de rock pancada com som eletrônico, e desta vez, com um rapper, o som ficou mais relax, mas tbém arrasou, claro! A voz do Chester soube dar todo o contraste na música, que fala sobre alguém que lutou contra o preconceito, ou contra as críticas dos outros e conseguiu realizar seus sonhos.
“Together we made it. We made it even though we had our backs up against the wall. Forever we waited. And they told us we were never gunna get it. But we took it on the road, on the road…“
# Jordin Sparks & Chris Brown - “No Air”
como eu já disse, ao comentar sobre essa música que concorre como ‘balada do ano’, esses dois combinaram demais! Não só pela voz forte dela e o jeito mais calmo dele, mas tbém fisicamente. Tanto que eu pensava que eles eram namorados, antes de saber que ele já tinha a Rihanna… mas tudo bem, isso prova que a química pegou mesmo! A letra é super fofa, alguém fala para o outro que ama, que viver sem ele (a), seria como perder ficar sem respirar. óh, so cute!
“Tell me how I’m supposed to breathe with no air. Can’t live, can’t breathe with no air. That’s how I feel whenever you ain’t there. It’s no air, no air“
# Madonna & Justin Timberlake - “4 Minutes”
ela, por incrível que pareça, tem idade pra ser mãe dele, construíram suas carreiras de formas diferentes e em momentos completamente distintos, mesmo assim, eles tem o que chamamos de: a mesma ‘pegada’. Sei lá, os dois adoraram ’sexualizar’ (essa palavra existe?) suas canções e performances e agora, se uniram e tiveram uma ótima sintonia. Que diga só de ver a coreografia! Muito bacana! A letra é meio doida, talvez sem pé nem cabeça. Ela quer alguma coisa, ele quer ajudar, mas só tem quatro minutos pra salvar o mundo, e se ele morrer, já teve o que queria. Hum, isso deve ter vários sentidos…
“If you want it, You already got it. If you thought it, it better be what you want. If you feel it, It must be real. Just say the word and I’ll give you what you want. Time is waiting… We only got 4 minutes to save the world. No hesitating…“
# Rihanna & Ne-Yo - “Hate That I Love You”
eu não fui a maior fã dessa música, nem do clipe, que eles quiseram mais apelar pra Rihanna de trajes menores… e o Ne-yo tava com banca de gangster, ficou estranho. Mas tirando isso, a melodia e a sincronia entre os dois, faz a música ser tão envolvente, que é impossível não querer puxar alguém pra dançar… ainda mais se for quem você gosta, claro. Na letra, a garota é tão apaixonada, que apesar dos defeitos do amado, não consegue desgrudar dele e odeia o quanto o ama. Já pra no caso dele, o fato dela fazer ele se sentir cada vez mais enamorado, faz ele odiar amá-la tbém. É bem legal, até.
“And I hate how much I love you boy. I can’t stand how much I need you. And I hate how much I love you boy. But I just can’t let you go. And I hate that I love you so“
# OneRepublic & Timbaland - “Apologize”
a música sem a batida do Timbaland já é bem lindinha, com ela, fica tão interessante quanto a original. Eu já adoro um piano+voz… o remix só ajuda a criar um clima mais, sei lá, gostoso, talvez. Na letra, os papéis se invertem e é o cara que não quer perdoar alguma coisa que a namorada fez pra ele, por medo de se enganar de novo. Tão sensível…oh!
“That it’s too late to apologize, it’s too late. I said it’s too late to apologize, it’s too late“
# Natasha Bedingfield & Sean Kingston - “Love Like This”
não conhecia ainda o trabalho dela, e não gosto nada dele e daquela música-grude dele, mas essa reunião entre os dois até que fez uma música bem fofa e gostosa de ouvir. A letra parece que fala sobre um casal juntos desde o colegial e que apesar de todas as complicações de uma relação, permanecem unidos e cada vez mais apaixonados.
“You’re the only one that knows me. Love it when you hold me. I’d never find a love like this. Let me hear you say. Now I’ll never be lonely. Look at what you’ve shown me. I’d never find a love like this“
# Maroon 5 & Rihanna - “If I Never See Your Face Again”
engraçado como os dois combinaram bem no vídeo! ela é magrela alta e ele é magro e com aquele pescoço fino, sei lá, combinaram bem. As vozes tbém se encaixaram bem, e a música é bem legal tbém. Quanto a letra, parece que o casal em questão: ou teve um affair, ou então tiveram uma noite só juntos, talvez. Apesar de parecerem querer ficar juntos, ela tá com outro cara, e ele a questiona se o dito cujo é tão bom quanto ele foi… por aí.
“‘Cause you keep me coming back for more. And I feel a little better than I did before. And if I never see your face again, I don’t mind. ‘Cause we got much further than I thought we’d get tonight“
# Estelle & Kanye West - “American Boy”
quando eu ouço essa música, fico pensando naqueles tempos de discoteca, sei lá, o ritmo é bem contagioso! No clipe, basicão, tudo braco, e é mais a Estelle que aparece. Já a letra da música, é meio confusa, ela diz que quer viajar e conhecer vários lugares com o garoto americano. Pow, sei lá. Mas é legalzinha e a dupla funcionou.
“Take me on a trip. I’d like to go some day. Take me to New York. I’d love to see LA. I really want. To come kick it with you. You’ll be my american boy, american boy“

And girl no one else would do [E, garota, ninguém mais serve]
With every kiss and every hug you make me fall in love [Porque a cada beijo e cada abraço você me faz ficar apaixonado]
And now I know I can’t be the only one [E agora eu sei que não posso ser o único]
I bet there’s hearts all over the world tonight [Eu aposto que o coração está acima de tudo esta noite]
With the love of their life who feel [Com o amor de suas vidas que sente]
What I feel when I’m with you [o que eu sinto quando eu estou, com você]
# “Bleeding Love” - Leona Lewis
But I don’t care what they say, I’m in love with you [Mas eu não me importo com o que dizem, eu estou apaixonada por você]
They try to pull me away but they don’t know the truth [Eles tentam me afastar, mas eles não sabem a verdade]
My heart’s crippled by the vain that I keep on closing [Meu coração está danificado na veia que eu continuo fechando]
You cut me open and I [Você me corta e eu]
Keep bleeding, keep keep bleeding love [Sangro, fico, fico sangrando de amor] 3x You cut me open [Você me corta]
# “Like You’ll Never See Me Again” - Alicia Keys
So every time you hold me [Então toda vez que você me abraçar]
Hold me like this is the last time [Abrace-me como se fosse a última vez]
Every time you kiss me [Toda vez que você me beijar]
Kiss me like you’ll never see me again [Beije-me como se você nunca fosse me ver de novo]
Every time you touch me [Toda vez que você me tocar]
Touch me like this is the last time [Toque-me como se fosse a última vez]
Promise that you’ll love me [Prometa que me amará]
Love me like you’ll never see me again [Amar como se você nunca fosse me ver de novo]
# “Whatever It Takes” - Lifehouse
A strangled smile fell from your face [Um sorriso estranho saiu do seu rosto]
It kills me that I hurt you this way [O que me mata é ter te machucado desse jeito]
The worst part is that I didn’t even know [A pior parte é que eu nem sabia]
Now there’s a million reasons for you to go [Agora, há um milhão de motivos pra você ir]
But if you can find a reason to stay [Mas se você puder achar um motivo para ficar]
I’ll do whatever it takes to turn this around [Eu farei o que for preciso para mudar tudo isso]
I know what’s at stake [Eu sei o que está em jogo]
I know that I’ve let you down [Eu sei que te decepcionei]
And if you give me a chance [E se você me der uma chance]
Believe that I can change [Acredite que posso mudar]
I’ll keep us together whatever it takes [Eu vou nos manter juntos custe o que custar]
# “I Won’t Go Home Without You” - Maroon 5
Every night you cry yourself to sleep [Toda noite você chora até dormir]
Thinking why does this happen to me [Pensando "Por que isso acontece comigo?]
Why does every moment have to be so hard [Por que todo momento tem que ser tão difícil?"]. Hard to believe that [Difícil acreditar nisso]
It’s not over tonight [Não acabou hoje à noite]
Just give me one more chance to make it right [Apenas me dê mais uma chance para fazer isso certo]
I may not make it through the night [Eu posso não sobreviver durante a noite]
I won’t go home without you [Eu não irei para casa sem você]
# “I’ll Be Waiting” - Lenny Kravitz
You need some time to be alone [Você precisa de algum tempo, para ficar sozinha]. Then you will find what you always know [Então você vai achar o que você sempre soube]
I’m the one who really loves you baby [Que sou eu quem realmente te ama, meu bem]. I’ve been knocking at your door [Eu estive batendo na sua porta]
As long as I’m living, I’ll be waiting [Enquanto eu viver, eu estarei esperando]
As long as I’m breathing, I’ll be there [Enquanto eu respirar, estarei do seu lado]
Whenever you call me, I’ll be waiting [Sempre que você me chamar, eu estarei aqui]
Whenever you need me, I’ll be there [Sempre que você precisar de mim, eu estarei do seu lado]
# “No Air” - Jordin Sparks & Chris Brown
But how do you expect me [Mas como você espera que eu]
To live alone with just me [Viva sozinha? Entenda-me]
‘Cause my world revolves around you [Porque meu mundo gira ao seu redor]
It’s so hard for me to breathe [É tão difícil para mim respirar]
Tell me how I’m supposed to breathe with no air [Me diga como eu vou respirar sem ar]
Can’t live, can’t breathe with no air [Não posso viver, não posso respirar sem ar]
That’s how I feel whenever you ain’t there [É assim como eu me sinto quando você não está aqui]
It’s no air, no air [fico sem ar, sem ar]
Got me out here in the water, so deep [Eu estava em águas profundas]
Tell me how you gon’ be without me [Me diga, como você vai ser sem mim?]
If you ain’t here, I just can’t breathe [Se você não está aqui, eu não posso respirar]
It’s no air, no air [fico sem ar, sem ar]
# “Take a Bow” - Rihanna
Don’t tell me you’re sorry ’cause you’re not [Não diga que se arrepende porque é mentira]
Baby, when I know you’re only sorry you got caught [Baby, você só se arrepende de ter sido flagrado]
But you put on quite a show you [Mas você interpreta muito bem]
Really had me going [Eu entrei na sua onda]
But now it’s time to go, curtain’s finally closing [Agora é hora de ir, as cortinas estão se fechando]
That was quite a show, very entertaining [O show foi ótimo, muito divertido]
But it’s over now, go on and take a bow [Mas agora acabou, pode agradecer e se retirar]
E o prêmio de Melhor Mentiroso vai para você [And the award for the best lier goes to you]. Por ter me feito acreditar que um dia você seria fiel a mim [For making me believe that you could be faithful to me]
Quero ouvir seu discurso [Let's hear your speech out]
Quer uma salva de palmas? Uma aclamação pública? [How about a round of applause? A standing ovation?]

You’re confused, you got it all figured out
Everything that you always wished for
Could be yours, should be yours, would be yours
If they only knew
You wanna show the world, but no one knows your name yet
Wonder when and where and how you’re gonna make it
You know you can if you get the chance
In your face as the door keeps slamming
Now you’re feeling more and more frustrated
And you’re getting all kind of impatient waiting
[Chorus]
When you can’t wait any longer
But there’s no end in sight
when you need to find the strength
It’s the faith that makes you stronger
The only way you get there
Is one step at a time
[Chorus x2]

MISS
The Pussycat Dolls all wore an original design by Project Runway winner Christian Siriano. Love the look for all 5 ladies. HIT
To see more AMA red carpet coverage…..
Miley Cyrus, who had a lot to celebrate that night, including her 16th birthday, looked fabulous as all hell in this strapless Marchesa dress and Giuseppe Zanotti shoes. She gets best dressed of the night from me. HIT
Good girl Jordin Sparks rocked a Dolce & Gabbana dress and Nicole Khristine jewels. Not loving the fit of the dress, the shoes, the red streaks in the hair or the makeup. MISS, completely.
High School Musical star Ashley Tisdale looked grrrreat in an Alberta Ferietti by Philosophy dress, Burberry shoes and Jimmy Choo bag. If Miley Cyrus had a runner-up to best dressed, it would be Ashley. HIT
The Jonas Brothers all looked dapper in their Ralph Lauren suits. Loves it. HIT
Kanye West rocked his own design on the carpet. His jacket was by Pastelle, which is his long overdue clothing line. It was simple and he was a little under dressed for the event, but I really do think the outfit is fly. HIT (don’t shoot me)
Pink looked fab in a body hugging Vivienne Westwood dress from the Fall 2007 collection. Loves the look. HIT
Teen sweetheart Demi Lovato looked stunning in a white tiered lace Gustavo Cadile dress, with a black sash. Love the look, and ya’lls know I’m all about being age appropriate. HIT
Leona Lewis looked annoyingly simple in a Jenny Packham dress. Although it doesn’t quite qualify as a MISS, I still don’t like it. Because I’M not her stylist, I’ll give her the benefit of the doubt. HIT
Queen Latifah looked great in a stretched metallic dress and Jimmy Choo pewter shoes. HIT
Chris Brown gets best dressed male from me. Love this look. The dapper-edgy look, which has almost become his signature. Who else can pull off a leather jacket and a bow tie? HIT
Ne-Yo always brings it. ALWAYS brings it. And this time was no different. HIT
Colbie Cailat wore a dress made completely out of fresh flowers! What a fashion risk. I would have been all for it, had the fit been right. Well, I guess it would be impossible to tailor flowers. MISS
Jamie Foxx also took a risk with those damn boots. Can’t say I like it. MISS
Well there you go. My HIT’s and MISSES, keep checking back for more coverage.
