Ms. Latrice Can Do No WRONG!!!!
591538
Starting this book I had a few reservations. I honestly didn't think that Ms. Latrice could suck me back in and tie up all of the loose ends in a way that I would be completely satisfied.  Well once again I am pleased to say that I was WRONG!!!  Ms. Latrice began this book right where book 2 left off.  We were able to see that while Max was pretty close to perfect in books 1 & 2 he had a vulnerability that had remained hidden until he was hit with the ultimate betrayal.  I absolutely hate the way that he chose to deal with his emotions but it further underscored the realness of his character.  By showing him with his imperfections we were able to see that while everyone else on the outside may have viewed him as the perfect male specimen, he was in fact just human.  Namiko surprised me she grew as a woman and developed a backbone that was forged by steel and fire.  She loved Maximillian but she loved herself and her son more.  She was rightly devastated by Max's actions but she didn't allow that to derail her from forging ahead to complete her goals.  I think that it took a great deal of fortitude and resolve to stay in her marriage to Max and to completely forgive him.  I enjoyed watching Namiko evolve into the woman she ultimately became by book 3.  Kiyuki, Kiyuki, LAWD  this GIRL!!!!  I had a hate/hate relationship throughout the entire series.  To be honest I wasn't looking for her to redeem herself because I just didn't see anything that was redeemable about her character.  But what do I know.  Brilliantly Ms. Latrice was able to paint a picture of a young girl who had suffered physical and mental abuse at the hands of her father and instead of following the path of Namiko, she hurt herself and those closest to her.  All in all I actually saw the changes as if she was standing before my very eyes.  The author ingeniously allowed us to watch her emerge from her cocoon and launch into life as the beautiful butterfly she was always intended to become.  I'm a happy ending kind of girl while silently cheering that the "evil people" get their just desserts.  Normally I would feel a certain way if characters who were just horrible throughout a series and in the end are graced with forgiveness.  In many cases it doesn't come across as authentic.  This can't be said about this series.  We felt the pain of each character who committed heinous acts, this more than anything created an empathy in me that I normally am unable to attribute to the villains of the story. It further emphasizes that it doesn't matter how morally bankrupt a person may be perceived, change is always able to take place if the person is willing to put in the work.  We have excellent examples of this very real life phenomena occurring with Kiyuki, Konz, Deshawn, Cori, Max and even Evelyn.  This series was a delightful read and I highly recommend it.  I have come to realize that there really isn't a book that you can read by Ms. Shvonne Latrice and be disappointed.  She has been blessed with the gift to create stories that pull us from our everyday reality and catapult us into the lives of these fictitious characters.  KUDOS Ms. Latrice!!  Job WELL DONE!!!

My favorite songs on this album are "Too good to be true" and "Ex-Factor".  Lauryn's singing/rapping talents are amazing! (Not to mention her acting talents,too) I was impressed by her strong voice and  incredible rhythm.  This album definitly deserves the grammys it was  nominated for.  I can't wait for Lauryn's next album and would absolutly  love to see her perform live!!!

This concert DVD does leave out some of the other aspects that Beyonce has used in her past DVDs, but you cannot say that it was good, it was Phenomenal!!!! Her vocal prowess on the stage and her awe inspiring connection with her audience makes her who she is as performer and person. Never doubt Beyonce, because she will deliver 125% and this DVD proves that on multiple levels. Even if you are not a Beyonce fan, this DVD will either make you one or make you start humming or singing her famous hits. If you are skeptical about buying the DVD...do not be, because it will be and is one of the best purchases you can make.

When I first saw her pictures my heart started to POUND!!!  I knew instantly that She was the ONE!

She arrived in less than 24 hours after she was shipped..awesome service and packaging....EVERYTHING about her was PERFECT!!!

As I took her out of the box I just couldn't take my eyes off of her...SUCH smooth skin...GORGEOUS make-up...even her lipstick color was HOT!!!

She was complimented with a smooth and silky black wig which served to highlight the pink balconette bra, panty, and garter set that I dressed her in.....WOW!  Her legs were very easy to get her stockings on and the black patent leather stillettos slid onto her feet as if they were made for her!

 I ABSOLUTELY LUV and ADORE HER!

Charlie Angels rocked and I get really mad when people criticize it, saying it was jiggle tv. It wasn't meant to be Shakespeare,thank God!!! This show was pure mindless fun, with beautiful women that were strong, smart, and sexy. This show paved the way for female leads in the male dominated cop show genre. The packaging on this dvd set is excellent. The episodes are crisp with great sound quality.

My only complaint was it would have been nice to have included the Charlie's Angels documentary that ran on TV Land a couple of years ago. They interviewed all the angels from the series, except Farrah ofcourse(We all know her story).

Poor Farrah! She was the most beautiful angel in many people's opinion, but Lord! Farrah has not aged well at all. She should have did what Betty Page did when her beauty  faded,by completey dropping out of the spotlight, so we had the pleasure of remembering her the way she was. When I saw a glimpse of Farrah on her reality show "Chasing Farrah I was horrified at how old she looked!!! I immediately thought perhaps TV Land was just plain desperate to milk what little was left of Farrah Fawcetts past glory, because this broad looked as old as Aaron Spelling!!!

Well, it's nice to see that the other angels have held up very nicely. Jaclyn Smith still looks fantastic!!!! I look forward to purchasing the second season, considering Cheryl Ladd was the perfect replacement for Farrah, and in my opinion the storylines were even better!!!!

Meghan Trainor is just so uplifting in every genre she performs! Last night my 4 year old grandson and 6 year old granddaughter sang "No" song at dinner..he kept saying no to everything so I started singing this, and to my surprise he knew every word, and even corrected me!!!! Meghan is such a versatile and inspirational artist, she inspires happiness and joy in every song!

"~~~~THAT IS WHAT YOU CALL GIRL POWER AND SHE'S NOT AFRAID TO LET THE WORLD KNOW! ~~~lol  I can't wait for her debut cd releasing and hitting all the stores (write this down!) on March 22, 2004!

I have been lucky enough to hear Ms. Travis sing live in Los Angeles, and was absolutely blown aways by her talent. I have seen many artists perform in LA but I have never seen anything like this before. She can hit notes as high as Celine Dion, and she even writes her own music. You will be deeply moved by her words which are so poetic and mesmarizing. My favorite songs are "Sunset" and "Woman in Me" However they are all fantastic. I encourage all of you to purchase this album, and watch this unbelievably talented woman become a household name....

if you are familliar with gabby la la thru the frog brigade album "purple onion", the C2B3 album "the big eye ball in the sky", the recent les claypool album "of whales and woe" and the DVD that goes along with it "Fancy". you realize la la is a gem! she is a sitar virtuoso, with a hpnotic voice! i can listen to "be careful what you wish for..." over and over without getting bored and always finding something new. la la covers multiple genres including ones she probably invented, and having lyrics that are actually worth listening and are as original as les claypool's. on the album, la la plays sitar, thymene, ukelele, toy piano, and accordian! les claypool supplies incredible bass (of course) along with great percussion unlike the holy mackeral album. songs include fast-paced poppy ukelele songs such as the title song and backpack. songs also include mellow, light-heated songs like walkie walkie walkie, twins, little fortune cookie, and elf. songs also include the really funny and catchy songs such as boogie woogie man in a black dress, and butter and eggs. there are als deep, imaginative, and mezmerizing songs like golden flea, in dreams, and in and out of dreaming. the album is flawless. gabby la la is a true artist. original, smart, and promising. i look foreward to what she does next because one album is not enough!!!!!!

When I saw the "Live from the Met in HD" broadcast of La Fille du Regiment, I just couldn't wait to get it in DVD so I could share it with friends.

Was I disappointed, was it an inferior production?
Definitely not!

This DVD features the same brilliant singing and acting from Dessay, Florez, and the other principals, and the same costumes and sets.  It is simply the best Daughter of the Regiment I can imagine.  You won't believe the amount of energy, talent, and "bounce" that Natalie Dessay displays.  Please, you won't be disappointed!  Get it to share the fun and great singing with your friends.

She is utterly fantastic.  I don't think she can do anything wrong.  What a wonderful find - she was meant to be a star.

All I can say, is anyone who is a true Teena Marie Fan should have this cd in their collection. Every last song on this cd is fantastic. Wild Horses, Climb The Walls, Passion Play, Breakfast In Bed, the spanish guitar song which is done so beautifully  and spoken in spanish, Pretty Man and The Air I Breathe, should be put on a New CD with her other greatest songs. Let's not forget her awesome re-make of Linda Jones' Hypnotized.

Her last cd, La Donna has a lot of this cd's flavor in, but this cd has so much more passion, and is full of her deepest thoughts on love and Needs To Be Re-released!!!

Teena, I thank you for being such a Passionate, Indepth and Soulful Entertainer, not to mention a great poetress.

Keep putting out your Passion in the music you make and you will always hold your own in the music industry.

One Luv

The best tracks on this CD in my opinion are 'I Forgive You" & "I Can Explain". I will not be able to describe the vocal prowess and utter talent that exudes from this womans' brains, throat, fingers and toenails when I here her sing these two songs. Ms. Ferrell sings extremely well. She is what most would like to be....A VOCALIST! If you have never heard her sing, make sure you purchase this CD. She is smooth, mellow, funky, soulful and sweet.

 I will get the opportunity to witness "The Voice" in person in NYC tomorrow. I do not care what she sings ....as long as she sings "I Can Explain" !!!! I LOVE HER!!!

 BUY THIS CD, DAMN IT!! :)
