My Top 5 Songs of 2010

Well 2010 is basically done and 2011 is a hop, skip and a jump away. So let's recap on my Top 5 favorite songs of 2010 that make me whip my hair, burn the roof, dream, be myself and live is a beautiful dark twisted fantasy. You know what's surprising, I didn't put Lady GaGa on my list.......SHOCKER

#5. Whip My Hair - Willow Smith

Well the Smiths just added another arsenal to their showbiz family and that's Willow Smith. This song was so great that everytime it played, it made me feel like I had long hair. This song made everyone dance whether you had long or short hair. Just remember to rest your neck the next day

#4. Love The Way You Lie - Eminem and Rihanna
 
Now, I'm not really a fan of either one but I can't deny that this song is still stuck in my head till today. Eminem's verses and Rihanna's chorus made this song one of the best song of 2010

#3. Cosmic Love - Florence and the Machine

 
I first heard this song on So You Think You Can Dance during a contemporary piece with Ashley and Ade and it was the BEST performance of the season (look it up). I listen to this song almost every night before I sleep. I even give Florence and the Machine the BEST breakthrough artists of the year.

2. We R Who We R - Ke$ha

When I tell everyone I love Ke$ha, people still ask me why would you like trash? But you know what, I'm known to love fun and trashy music. If I loved Kim Zolciak's Google Me song, then damnit I love trashy music. However, this song is number one on my playlist. If you listen to the words closely, it basically tells you to just be yourself and enjoy life.

1. Monster - Kanye West feat. Jay-Z, Rick Ross, Nicki Minaj and Bon Iver

Now I hate Kanye as a person and the shit he has done, but damnit his music is AMAZING!!!!!! Also, My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy is the Best Album of the Year (and it's only been out for a month lol). Nicki's verse was the best IMO (well Roman as she calls her alter-ego).

ANTM Winner Ann Ward's Vogue Italia Pictures Leaked and CYCLE 16 NEWS!!!!

This is my real first post so comments and suggestions are definitely suggested and please for the grammatical errors. Writing is not my forte.

So this is for my ANTM fans!!

As we all know, Ann Ward, was crowned the winner of ANTM Cycle 15 a few weeks ago beating out runner-up Chelsey Hersley.

Since Ann was the winner, she received a $100,000 contract with Covergirl Cosmetics, a contract with IMG Models (who represent TOP models such as Naomi Campbell, Heidi Klum, Gisele Bundchen and Alek Wek), the cover if Beauty in Vogue Magazine, fashion spreads in VOGUE ITALIA and Beauty in Vogue, and a feature in Vogue Italia's website. Basically a top model's wet dream/Christmas list. Now since it's Christmas and I'm feeling generous, here is a sneak peek of Ann Ward's Vogue Italia pictures



Ann was the clear favorite to win from the start. She had a record-breaking 5 consecutive first call-outs and an overall record of 6 FCO's, a new ANTM Record (Joanie from Cycle 6 and Anya from Cycle 10 each had 5 FCOs). Here are some of the ANTM pictures I loved from Ann....






Now, even though she was the best in pictures, her physical appearance...well, it was not really great. She has a small waist for a tall body (6'2") and she's not considered one of the prettiest girls we've ever seen on ANTM. Her runway walk....I don't even want to talk about that...let's just say it was a step-up from Lauren (Cycle 10).When she speaks, she was very monotone and couldn't even muster up the courage to sell Covergirl cosmetics properly during a challenge. Her horrendous H2T commercial even landed her in the bottom 2 (during Final 7 week).

Now here's my opinion.....I love Ann, I think she is probably the BEST winner of ANTM. To me, any of the final four girls (Chelsey, Jane and Kayla - who I was rooting for from the start) could have won this competition and I would have been happy. This season overall had alot of amazing girls (Rhianna, Kendal, Chris) and some amazing photoshoots with amazing photographers (Pactrick Demarchelier, Matthew Rolston). There was minimal amounts of drama (thank god) with only Kacey (she was actually good but only commercial) and Chelsey. This was a step up from last cycle (still can't believe Krista won last cycle when Angelea or Jessica should have won). I think Tyra definitely brought her A-Game this cycle and this was a cycle to enjoy.

Now Ann's Vogue Photos: LOOOOOOOVE IT!!!! she is high fashion from the roots of her hair to the arch of her foot. She is definitely going places and I can't wait to get the Vogue Italia issue (January 2011)

BIG NEWS: America's Next Top Model Cycle 16!!!! will be premiering on February 23rd, 2011!!!!!!! no news on the girls yet or where their international location will be, but you know....I'll always have an opinion. I think since they've done the High-Fashion cycle and the Petite Model cycle (Cycle 13), when will they do an all-Plus Size cycle....that will actually be very interesting, TYRA!!!

Well, it's going on 2am here on Christmas Day and I need to get ready for Santa to come so HAPPY HOLIDAYS EVERYONE!!!!

First Post

Since I have alot of time on my hands now, I decided to make a blog

*HALLELUJAH*

........but it's mostly not going to be about my life (shocker).

This blog is more of a mixed bag. Mostly, I'll talk about my opinions on my favorite shows, new shows and things I find on Youtube. Also, I'll blog about places I go to, fashion, music, just things that are interesting. I'll also will be starting a YouTube Channel starting in 2011 recapping TV shows (So You Think You Can Dance, ANTM, American Idol, Dancing With The Stars, ABDC, RuPaul's Drag Race), new music and emerging artists and issues that are in my head at the moment

So for now, let's get the party started!!!

and welcome....to Clenny's World
