Justin Bieber: My World Review
Monday, November 23rd, 2009
I carefully unwrapped the packaging and took a breath. As I opened the CD, all my dreams were crushed as there was no golden ticket. It is a great marketing strategy as each hardcore Justin Bieber fan rushed out to buy as many CDs as they could in search of a golden ticket, which could score you a private concert in your backyard or a chance to be in one of his music videos.

My Top 3 Twitter Recommendations!
Monday, November 23rd, 2009
Just in case you need to add a little spice to your Twitter follow list, check out three of my faves:
3. Stephanie Pratt
She keeps you entertained with her random tweets, fun-filled days, and inspirational quotes. She never makes you feel like she’s some high-level celebrity who is too good to talk to you. She replies to people just like everyone else! She’s a great person, on and off screen, and her Twitter page proves it 100%!
2. Ms. Chris Crocker!
Inspirational, brave, hilarious and so much more! His tweets range from love advice, to telling off all the haters! For anyone who knows Chris Crocker, he is never – and I mean never – afraid to say what’s on his mind, and it makes for an incredible Twitter page.
And my number 1 Twitter recommendation is… Gregory Gorgeous!
His tweets are funny, cute, and can always put you in a better mood! And along with his super popular YouTube channel, Gregory is definitely on his way to something big!
I decided to contact Greg hoping to ask him some questions, and guess what!? I succeeded! So, here it is! A personal, one on one interview with the lovely Gregory Gorgeous!

Hedley & Cory Monteith on MOD!
Friday, November 20th, 2009
Hello, everyone! My name is Sydney, and I’m one of the new MuchMusic blog correspondents!
Yesterday, I got the awesome opportunity to go to MuchMusic HQ for a very special MuchOnDemand with Cory Monteith & Hedley! I, for one, am a huge fan of both Glee & Hedley, so I knew this was gonna be a great show!
My cousin Alex & I scored a perfect spot behind where the VJs do their interviews. Before we went live, the Floor Directors took us through a series of rehearsals & procedures, just to make sure everything was right. Once we went live, the energy from the audience tripled. You could tell we were all super stoked to see Cory & Hedley up close!

Okay, that’s not a fact, but it seemed like it at the time. So was anyone really surprised when Britain’s Got Talent answered back with Susan Boyle?
Earlier this year, 47-year old contestant Boyle stunned all those who sneered at her appearance during the audition. Her performance of “I Dreamed a Dream” from Les Miserables left everyone watching in a state of shock.

Stuff You Should Listen To!
Thursday, November 19th, 2009
Just in case your iPod is looking a little dry these days, might I recommend some tunes for you to spice things up again?
The Sunshine Underground is one of England’s rising musical talents, after capturing the attention of audiences all over Britain in 2005 when the lads won a BBC Battle of the Bands competition. This four-piece band from Leeds released their first album Raise The Alarm (2006) which contained the incredibly catchy songs, “Borders” and “Commerical Breakdown”. The Sunshine Underground has been M.I.A for the last couple of years much to fans’ disapproval, however are in the midst of making a comeback tour. They have recently released their new EP Everything, Right Now, with their feature track “Coming to Save You”. The full second album is anticipated to be released in February 2010. It’s well worth the wait, so don’t get your knickers in a twist!
Fact: The band named themselves after The Chemical Brothers’ song “The Sunshine Underground”, from the album Surrender.
Sounds like: Franz Ferdinand and the Chemical Brothers’ love-child. TSU produces a variety of punk, dance-rock, funk, and indie sounds.
