I really don’t have words for this! LOVE IT! LOVE IT! LOVE IT! Oh Lady Gaga you are so magical! Haven’t seen it?! Watch it in all it’s glory, almost ten minutes! AHHHHHHHHH!
Sorry that I’ve been rather busy with things and I have not been able to write to all my loyal friends and fans! Of course if you follow me on Twitter, you see that I never stop tweeting. It’s a new way of life for me, this micro blogging funhouse!
Anyways I’m sitting, waiting, and hoping that the Lady GaGa’s Bad Romance Video will come on at any moment via her website. No such luck! But I guess I shouldn’t worry since I subscribe to her Haus of GaGa Newsletters via text. I’m such a dork but I’m telling you, it’s been a long time since someone as original and crazy has been on this pop scene and I fucking love her!
In other news I uploaded my music video on to two other websites hoping to get a larger response than I have on YouTube. From my understanding these things can take time, but I’m not looking to make a quick buck, rather I want the experience of having a mass response, no matter the outcome. Video below:
I have decided to continue working on my next single and I hope to have that out for Christmas. It’ll be in the style of Google Me, but a more serious singing side, not so choral sounding. You’ll see!
I’m just now getting off my high from MTV’s 2009 VMAs and now it’s time to blog and vlog on Tuesday! The VMAs were exceptionally better this year because they decided it was time to welcome back the crowd or fans section during the show. In previous years, they had taken the fan section near the stage and just threw it out the window. Now they’ve brought it back and thus they have brought back the energy! What’s music without people to listen to it?
The VMA’s, controversial as always, had some memorable moments this year! From the opening monologue from Madonna, followed by the amazing performance with Michael(in spirit) and Janet. The Kanye West scene whore scene and wrecking Taylor Swift’s sweet moment. To an unforgettable performance by Lady GaGa. And Beyoncé: a lady of class, giving Taylor Swift her moment in the end! Russell Brand, naughty as ever and P!nk the deleted scenes of Cirque du Soleil!
Let’s back it up to Lady GaGa! She definitely had an evolution of wardrobe this evening, but let’s rewind back to her first outfit, on the red carpet with Kermit The Frog! How cool! Poor Miss Piggy. Let’s look at the outfit that she is wearing below:
Pretty sweet? But what am I getting at?
I was listening to Micheal Jackson’s Dangerous album and looked at the cover and then looked at Lady GaGa’s outfit and for whatever reason there is a slight resemblance! You have to be a little odd, but see for yourself:
There’s something going on there and I’m happy to say: Whatever it is! It’s fucking amazing! R.I.P. Michael Jackson! And long live Lady GaGa, “…for God and the Gays.” A to tha motha fuckin Men! You are my gurrl!
Above is the funniest thing I’ve seen since Penis Power with Alexyss K. Tylor. If you have not seen either of these I suggest you watch both. And if you still haven’t had enough of either of these girls, do some searching on YouTube and you’ll discover these videos put to music! Remix! Holla Holla!
I believe in having a good laugh and you should have them often.
In other news I’ve began the editing process of my music video and it is coming along greater and faster than I had thought. Nonetheless, I’m waiting until September 1, 2009 to release it on YouTube and other video channels. Right now the editing process is going well, but that doesn’t mean I won’t run into huge delays or God forbid, computer melt downs! Knock on wood!(No, really. Knock on wood for me!)
One thing I’ve learned as I’ve been going through my editing process is: I have a lot of wasted footage. But better lots of footage, than too little footage. I’m trying to give the video multiple looks, but at the same time I don’t want it to be too much for the audience. Although, I’m a firm believer that if you stuff a whole bunch a shit in it, people will just have to watch it again, to get the full effect.
I’ve also taken the time to watch a bunch of other music videos just so that I know I’m on the right track. A thing I notice most about music videos is the amount of lip syncing. Some videos hardly have the artist singing in them, they focus more on a concept or feelings. I feel that you should have a lot of shots of the artist actually singing the song because it translates better.
For instance, I watched The Little Mermaid last night and Poor Unfortunate Souls is quite a number. It may be a Disney cartoon, but it would serve as a great music video. There’s hardly a shot without Ursula belting those lyrics. Now of course as you become a more established artist like Madonna or Beyoncé, you have already earned your audience’s interest. But for a new artist it’s important that you see the lyrics flowing from his or her mouth at least 75% of the time. This way you are giving everyone a proper introduction of what you look like, who you are, and what you are all about.
Now I’m not going to get into the discussion of ‘looks are not important’, because that’s completely untrue! Image is everything, especially in Hollywood. The website HOTorNOT.com says it all: HOT OR NOT. Disagree with me? Then take it up with society and oh, I don’t know, the whole world!
Remember my music video is out: September 1, 2009 on YouTube. I’ll be posting it on my blog and if you follow me on Twitter, which some of you do, it’ll be on there too!

I love the character I’ve created, Shanikwa Jones. She is an amazing character and I love playing her. But lately my energy level and enthusiasm have grown numb. It takes a lot of my time and energy to portray this character and I’m not sure if I’m bored of her or if it has something to do with: supply and demand. She isn’t heavily wanted. I’ve been trying to get more and more hits on YouTube with no success. So I’m hoping I can change that.
Currently I have 28 videos on YouTube dedicated to her. And I know that one of the issues is people on YouTube have very short attention spans and they seem to hate everything. It’s very hard to put so much effort into something and then just be told, “this is stupid.” So my need to succeed is sometimes influenced by these random jerks on YouTube. But that comes with everything you do online. And trust me if you slam me, I slam you back and make a t-shirt with your face on it. They call that defaming someone, I call it, “Go fuck yourself.”
Of course on the other hand Shanikwa has a pretty big fan base on Myspace. People send her messages all the time and say really sweet things and that definitely makes it all worthwhile. But sometimes trying to come up with new and exciting material can be difficult. Hence the prolonging of my Shanikwa movie. OMFG! Talk about doing it all yourself. First I’d like to thank all the talent that I was able to manage getting in this film, but the EDITING is killing me. I want the movie to be an A+ movie, but I do not have the computer power or producers or any film gurus to help me with this. But with the same token this is suppose to look like one of those really bad films, that is sort of the charm of Shanikwa.
Now about new episodes and the future of The Shanikwa Shanikwa Show.
The Shanikwa Shanikwa Show
With Shanikwa it has always been about what’s really raunchy and shocking. Also she flourishes more when she has an audience to interact with. For instance when she’s with a few students from a local high school she becomes this thing that words cannot express. Her looks alone are shocking. I mean, you don’t see people who look like her every day. But on a personal note I have no friends who have Tuesdays and Thursdays off, like I do. If there is a friend out there who for sure wants to be my camera person, LET ME KNOW RIGHT NOW! All you have to do is stand by the tripod and hit record, we’re not a fancy film production, yet.
Now I’ve been toying with the idea of having Shanikwa do a new series called: News With Flavor with Shanikwa Jones. Now of course this isn’t even original at all, but I think I can incorporate Shanikwa’s style into a news show to make it stand out. My troubles I’m having right away are, of course, I have run out of room to shoot such a show. My office, where I shoot, is filled. It has all been done before and I’m trying really hard to figure out how to make it look like a real news show. I know I need a few more lights and a router speed controller, for variable lighting. Then I can properly light a green screen. Green screen is easy when you have the allotted room for one. Otherwise you have what is called green spill: this is where it gets all over the actors face and then you are royally fucked.
Either way you can see that I clearly have a passion for this character because I’ve already dedicated a few years of my life to her and look how much I can write about an Africasion Queen Bitch. I love everything about Shanikwa right down to the platinum lip stick and black eye liner. When I portray her I have so much fun and I hope I can expand this character into the success that she deserves. So I will make a plan right here, right now!
