TV Thursday - The Wanted's Hollywood Reality Show Home #WantedWednesday

I'm currently very much into the British-Irish boyband, The Wanted.

They're now in the United States to start filming their reality show, which will be aired on E! this June.

Nathan Sykes, 19, Siva Kaneswaran, 24, Jay McGuiness, 24, Max George, 24, and Tom Parker, 22, will be residing on their temporary home for the reality show, which is a $50,000 a month Hollywood mansion.

It's massive, with seven bedrooms and nine bathrooms, and to top it off, a heated swimming pool. Life's going on pretty good for the lads, I think. More photos of the mansion here.

Since it's TV Thursday, I'll leave you with the boys' #WantedWednesday clip from last week. I just love them and their silly antics. Enjoy!

Last Friday Night by One Buck Short (Live, Smash Project 2012)

One Buck Short was recently in Manila for the Smash Project 2012. I found out that they did a cover of Katy Perry's Last Friday Night (TGIF) there, and I was dying to listen to it. I took my chance on YouTube today, and I'm so happy that I found this video. Sure, it's not mine, but yay for the uploader for sharing it.

One Buck Short will be opening for Sum 41 Live in Malaysia on 14 April 2012. :)

To Narmi fans, yep you can catch glimpses of him in the vid. Enjoy!

Do follow One Buck Short on Twitter, Facebook or their website!

Set Fire To The Rain - Adele (Live at The Royal Albert Hall 2011)

I don't know anyone who's sick of Adele. I mean, she's brilliant. To call her a legend in the making would be an understatement.

Adele has won 2 awards at the Brit Awards 2012, and a whopping 6 awards at the recent Grammy Awards as well. I read that she's taking a long break after this, and although she'll definitely be missed, I'd say good for her.

Here's one of my favourite Adele song, Set Fire To The Rain. She performed it live at The Royal Albert Hall in London on 22 September 2011. The concert was recorded and the DVD was released on 28 November 2011 in the UK.

Love, love her, her performance, her voice, and this song. Love her dress too! Bravo Adele!

Whirl by Narmi (The Wknd Sessions)

I've never heard of Narmi until I watched What Men Want two weeks ago. What Men Want is a reality show on our local tv channel, NTV7. It's pretty entertaining, actually.

Anyway, Narmi is probably best known as Imran, the drummer from the band One Buck Short. 28-year old Narmi is planning a release for his EP entitled Whirl sometime this month, while his band One Buck Short is said to be going to The Phillipines in March.

Narmi was also the opening act for Zee Avi's Homecoming Concert in Kuching, Sarawak last year.

This song is called Whirl. I may be biased but I love Narmi's soothing voice and relaxed performance. The video is taken from The Wknd Sessions #31. Ooh the haters! Man, if you've got hate comments, that means you're good. Good luck, Narmi!

Enjoy the song!

Whirl Lyrics – Narmi

I’ve been staring at my screen
Thinking of you and all our dreams
My cheeks hurt from smiling
Could it be because your eyes – mesmerize me

And I don’t mind at all
Because I’m enjoying this free fall

Oh how you make me whirl, twist and turn and twirl
And when you bite ur lip girl, twist and turn and twirl
And when you smile, it carries on for miles
Oh girl, you drive me wild

In real-time we sing
In real-time we’re laughing
And you don’t miss a beat
Cuz you’ve got front row seats

I love the way you smell
Inhale, deep breath, i’m in your spell
I love the way you kiss
So soft and warm, deep in this bliss

According to You by Orianthi

26-year old Orianthi Panagaris is a Greek Australian musician. She's best known for being picked as the lead guitarist for Michael Jackson's This Is It concerts.

Orianthi has recently released a 5-song EP called Fire, which was released as an iTunes download.

This song is called According to You, taken from Orianthi's 2009 debut album, Believe. This song has also been used in several music games, and in CSI: Crime Scene Investigation and in Dancing with the Stars season 11.

I can totally relate to this song, especially after my recent break-up. This is dedicated to him. The one who said that I have a bad attitude, and that I always act like a smartass. Thank you for that, for giving me so many reasons to leave you, even after all the years we've spent together.

These verses are perfect for our sad, pathetic love story:

According to you
I’m difficult,
hard to please,
forever changing my mind.


According to you
I’m boring,
I’m moody,
you can’t take me any place.


According to me
you’re stupid,
you’re useless,
you can’t do anything right.

Enjoy the music video!

When I'm With You by Faber Drive (Hellcats S01E16)

Faber Drive is a Canadian pop punk band from Mission, British Columbia. The band was discovered by Nickelback's frontman, Chad Kroeger, and consists of 4 members; Dave Faber on lead vocals and rhythm guitar, Jeremy Liddle on bass, Jordan Pritchett on lead guitar, and Andrew Stricko on drums.

 I kind of miss Hellcats; I thought it was a good show, which deserves more than just one season. It just needed a good storyline, and perhaps a better director. This song is called When I'm With You, taken from Faber drive's debut album, Seven Second Surgery (2007).

 The band has since released a second album in 2009, called Can't Keep A Secret. They had 2 more songs featured in Hellcats S01E16: Fancy Dan, which are Honky Tonk Women, Second Chance, and You and I Tonight.

 I fell in love with this song the first time I listened to it. I'm a sucker for love songs and bands with cute guys. Oh well, happy listening and happy Monday!

 

Who is Candyman 187?

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Virool. All opinions are 100% mine.

I've never heard of the musician called Candyman 187, until today. Candyman 187 is a talented LA hip hop artiste, being mentored by legendary rapper and musician Tupac Shakur, to name a few. Candyman 187's music represents the East Coast lyricism and West Coast bravado. Listen to his music and lyrics and you'll find out that his music has no boundaries.

This super versatile musician is always looking for new sounds to satisfy his fans. Candyman 187 lives by his mantra, "I live hard, love hard, fight hard and can't give up." Now that's a mantra I'd like to live by as well. This street poet cum gangster rapper is determined to change the world's negative perception on the black sheeps of the street, that everyone on the street aren't as bad as they seem.

Candyman 187 has won Artist of the Year and Album of the Year at the Los Angeles Music Awards, proving that old school hip hop is still going on strong and powerful in the music industry. Candyman 187 and team of musicians and music producers, The Havenotz, will be seen and listened to for a long time.

Check out Candyman 187's music video for his first single of his newest project due this fall, called "Show 'Em All":
