This is a clip from the movie Annie that came out in 2014. This feature starred Jamie Foxx and Quvenzhane Wallis. This version of Annie was indeed a remake of the original broadway musical of Annie. This movie received two Golden Globe Award nominations.
The video is a short clip of one of the songs, Hard Knock Life. It shows the girls singing, dancing and acting simultaneously.
I picked this video because I have loved this song since I was a kid. I recently watched the movie and it reminded me of plays I enjoyed watching when I was a kid.
This spoken poetry was written by Brandon Wellington in 2007 when he was approximately 18 years old. Brandon was raised in Indianopolis, IN where he was recognized for his amazing talent in spoken poetry. Throughout his teenage years, he has performed and competed in state competitions. Later in life, he joined the Navy where he continued to participate in poetry competitions. By doing so, he was awarded a scholarship from a competition where he ranked 2nd out of 100,000 participants. After he departed from the military, he moved to New York and pursued an acting career. He starred in a Travel Channel show called 'Paranormal Paparazzi' and a film titled 'Real Talk'.
This poem was written by him in aspect of how America is viewed and how we benefit from it despite the cultural differences but from the social and political aspect of it. He wrote this to inspire people to achieve success and take pride in accomplishments.
I thought this spoken poetry was inspiring and makes me think about the goals I have currently achieved and the goals that I am continuing to pursue. I feel blessed and thankful to say I have accomplished something in my life despite the challenges and/or besides the color of my skin and gender. We are all here to make a difference/change in our lives, continue to do so.
Maxwell is a 41 year old singer, song-writer, producer and actor whom was born in Brooklyn, New York. Maxwell was not serious about music until he reached the age of 17.
This is a remake of Kate Bush's song, This Woman's Work, which was featured in a movie titled 'She's Having a Baby' in 1988. The remake that Maxwell did charted at 58 on the Billboard Hot 100 and number 16 on the Hot R&B/Hip Hop songs chart. This song has many voices from the piano, guitar and backup vocals. In a few parts of the song, you can hear Maxwell's pitch change from high to low. For example, you can hear the voice change at 2:43 to 2:50 and then from 2:58 to 3:10.
I absolutely fell in love with this song from the first time I heard it back in 2001. The melody is beautiful and his voice has so much power that I can feel his pain. This song expresses the pain and anger from unexpected events that may involved the one you love so dear. In this video, it shows how Maxwell is grieving the loss of his love and how hard it is to cope and move forward. I believe the change in pitch from his voice ranging from high to low expresses hurt then to anger. Overall, this is one of my favorite songs.
Yes, this is a toilet bowl seat. This is a toilet shaped house located in South Korea. This home was designed in appreciation of the World's Toilet Association. The World's Toilet Association is an organization that promotes sanitary restrooms worldwide.
The owner and designer of this 4,000 square foot home is a native of South Korea who was reportedly born in a restroom. He became known as the "Mayor Toilet". Sim Jae-Duck built this structure by using glass and concrete. Inside the center of the home, there is a glass walled bathroom. The rooftop resembles a toilet drain that is accessible by a staircase and equipped with technology that produces mist.
This architectural structure is fascinating. The thought of designing a structure that is designed to resemble a toilet bowl is unbelievable. From the lid to the opening is a true resemblance of a toilet. I am assure that Sim Jae-Duck was satisfied and amazed at his accomplishments.
Here is a short video of the construction of the toilet house:
