Fashionably Late. Honor Society

Honor Society

Hopefully, you've heard them. If you've been reading over the past few months, they're a favorite to write about. This amazing band just officially released their debut album on Tuesday. It's aptly named "Fashionably Late." Their EP "A Tale of Risky Business" was released in May of last year. They said an album would come.. and the time kept getting changed.. but at long last.. with Excellent timing.. everything was set.


Click the picture to buy the album at their official merch store. You can also buy a copy at Target & get the bonus DVD of their Irving Plaza show earlier this year. and of course, you can use iTunes and purchase when you Search "Honor Society."



Recently, KiisFM's Kidd Kraddic radio show (around the nation) aired "Over You," Honor Society's new single from the album. Be sure to request it on your local KissFM!

Best Moments of the 2009 VMAs

WOW! That's what I said after I got done watching the 2009 VMA's! All of a sudden I get a text from the boss here at Music Forecast telling me to post about it. Imagine how happy I was to find out I get to post all the most talked about moments. From Kanye West's big and embarrassing outburst, to Janet's tribute to her big bro, to Jay-Z's big performance with Alicia Keys that literally made me fall in love with New York...and I'm from Chicago. I was blown away first of all at Kanye West. I'm am a big fan of his and last night...he made it hard to be his fan. That was just mean and uncalled for. Taylor Swift was just about left speechless and Beyonce seem mortified. Of course being the classy woman she is, after coming to pick up her award for video of the year, she told Taylor Swift to come on stage so she could finally have her moment. (Claps for Beyonce and Taylor Swift...smacks the hell outta Kanye.) However, after the VMA's, Kanye West did apologize to Taylor, her fans, and her mom. Not sure I would be forgiving though.

Of course we can't forget about the tear jerker speech Madonna gave and the very well put together and awesome tribute to Michael Jackson. Amazing dancers rocked it out to a medley featuring MJ's well known songs, "Thriller", "Bad", "Smooth Criminal", and Janet Jackson bursts through joining them on the song she made with her big bro, "Scream". It touched my heart to see her dancing while watching her brother on the screen. (It was as though they were dancing together.)

Among some of the best performances, Lady Gaga performed a performance that made you wonder if she was channeling Madonna from her Vogue days and Pink of course didn't disappoint. Pink belted out her single "Sober" while literally doing a trapeze act! How she was able to keep singing while doing that I will never know. Beyonce of course made all the single ladies shout "Where my ring at?!" as she and what seemed like an army of women tore the place up with her single "Single Ladies".

After all that...I got to find out that I get to bring it all to you! If you missed it...just scroll down and watch all the best moments from the 2009 VMAs!! Enjoy.

































Holla!

Gospel Sunday

Hey all,

As my close family and friends know, I jumped the broom 2 weeks ago. Thanks again for their presence as well as their presents, :-p. Anyway, after this transition, it is good to know that Jesus is My Help through all things. So take it away, Hezekiah.
