THE KNOWLEDGE OF LAURYN HILL AND THE WRATH OF WYCLEF JEAN

It's been since 1995, the master Fugees have been on the scene braking and changing the charts. With the mind of Wyclef Jean, The heart that is Lauryn Hill and the touch of Pras. Fugees killed mc's with THE SCORE a bargain with the devil critics say after the major flop of "blunted with reality". The Score gripped everyone by the throat and made them get into the "fugeela".

With the success of "The Score". Wyclef became ring leader of "The Carnival" bringing his touch to the massive growth of Hip-Hop and bringing Celia Cruz for a spanish classic song mixed with Hip Hop flavor on "Guantanemera" and the anthem to summer of 97 "staying alive"

Then there is Lauryn Hill with a little album "The miseducation of Lauryn Hill" became the massive soundtrack to 1998, the winner of 8 grammies, making Lauryn become the new queen of Hip Hop and R&B. Pras with "ghetto superstar" made a corny country song done by Dolly Parton remade it and made it the song that is catchy

The fugees a force that is unstoppable and that is why there are the angels of the poets

TORI AMOS ( THE HUMAN SATELLITE )

The only person that deserves to be written twice is the one and only Tori Amos.

Since the last time I wrote about Tori I have gotten this image of her as a satellite There is a comparison between Tori and the movie Pump up the volume ( starring Christian Slater ) at the movie is about this teenage kid that has a racy illegal radio show the people that listen to him is teenage kids that need to have a voice to follow and parents, teachers and the FCC want Christian's character arrested cause it gives the kids a bad influence.In a way Tori is like the Christian Slater character all the kids go to her cause she is the voice we need

So what I am trying to say is this is what Tori is telling us. Some do websites based on her name,some of us write poetry because of her inspiration, and some paint or draw because of her truthfullness and her out pouring heart she has given us through the years. So as you know Tori is like a satellite and we are just here getting her reception that is why Tori is a full time Angel of the poets

DAVE GROHL THE FOO FIGHTER

The myth, the legend and the new Nirvana and that is just for starters. Dave Grohl the guy behind the drum set of one of the most innovative rock groups in our time is now as innovative as the person that put him here in the first place

Kurt Cobain the person that you have inspired look at him now pleasing us in a way that we could only think of it was you behind the microphone. Dave Grohl has inspired others by his work on movie soundtrack ( A soundtrack he did for a movie call Touch all song were his ), he was on T.V ( X files ) and an innovative rock darling.

Dave has come a long way from being that guy behind the drum set and for all he has done and for all he is planning to do that is why Dave Grohl is considered an Angel Of the Poets

LET'S TALK ABOUT CELINE DION

What to say about the woman other than if you do a movie call upon Celine to make the movie and soundtrack into an explosive amount of popularity. Beauty and the beast, Sleepless in Seattle, up close and personal and the pain of other movie directors the gigantic Titanic. The fever is running out of control with a number one soundtrack and number one movie

you probably might hate her or you might adore her, but the one thing you can't do is ignore her Celine Dion is a force that is unstoppable cause of the one thing that other singers lack of and that one thing is passion and without passion the emotion of that song that is intended to the listener to feel won't feel it if the singer has no passion and that my friends is why Celine Dion is consider as angel of the poets.

THE SECOND COMING OF MADONNA

Through out the years that we have know Madonna we have either grown to love her or hate her. I began to get into Madonna when she came out with Erotica I love the sound of the song. I dont remenber how old I was but I know that I told my Mom if she could buy it for me when I told her she said to me why I want to buy that filth I told her that I liked it so she bought it for me.


Thinking of Madonna pops up the words nasty, slut, controversy and other things but Madonna is the culture icon of the century. A woman that has changed pop culture single handly needs a standing ovation. Through the changes that she has made Madonna has always stayed in the top being in movies, selling out albums and concerts, having a successful recording label ( MAVERICK which stars include Prodigy and Alanis Morrisitte ) and now a mother.


On March 3 1998 Madonna's new album came out and sold out in the first week being the second album on the chart. Ray of Light is a new look and a new change in her life with electronic and spiritual chantings Madonna for me is in the top of my list and as I ended Madonna is an angel of the poets.

WHY TORI AMOS RULES

You have to be a fan of tori amos to understand the music and the words that Tori produces. If you are not a fan you would just go this music sucks and it makes me wanna go to sleep. To understand Tori is like trying to understand one of those colorful cubes that you have to put the blue in one side the red in the other. Tori is the enigma cause of the words she sings we could interpret it and many ways that is what makes Tori special. If you told a tori fan what do you see in her and in her music the person would not give you the answer except for hear it for yourself give it a chance soak in the energy that she gives.

Tori I consider as my fairy godmother people tell me why and I say it because she gave me the talent to write poetry, to feel inspired of the sorroundings that is life. Many others would tell you the same thing. she inspires people to have a voice for themselves and for those people to inspire others and make others find a voice for themselves. When I first heard Tori sing Silent all these years I just got the single because I thought getting the album would be bad so when Under the pink came out I bought the album I loved all the songs and once I got tired of it I had to get me Little earthquakes I heard over and over again I needed more Tori songs I bought me the singles I felt and I still do like a junkie looking for drugs I cant get enough of her so what I do now is find a singer during Tori's four years haitus that could fill in the void for those four years that is how I found Sarah Mclachalan, Fiona Apple,portishead,Jewel and even Kate bush and Joni Michelle cause they say Tori sounds like them they lied about Kate bush but Joni is ok.

The people that met Tori they all say that she is the perfect human that ever walked the earth. I dont know I have never met her but if I do I could say the same thing I saw this interview that she did for her R.A.I.N.N concert in the lifetime channel she was talking about this girl that told her that she gets raped every time at night by her father Tori wanted to take the girl with her but her manager told her that she couldnt cause that would be agaisnt the law and she would be considered as a kidnapper so through that, that is how the R.A.I.N.N idea came from. Tori would had risked in taking this girl and gotten arrested for kidnapping charges that is the perfect human that walked this earth. Tori has an effect in people she is like an angel that touches someone that could be deppresed,sad or lonely and give them a sense of hope through her music. the spice girls come out all the time saying girl power and they dont show anything positive and their music doesnt even carry a message but when in reality the one that shows girl power is the one and only Tori Amos she is who I consider the angel of the poets.

A FIONA TRIBUTE

My fiona tribute begins with how I fell in love with her in the first place first time I ever heard "shadowboxer" I said to myself I have to get this album I got the album heard it one or three times and that was the end with that c.d I wanted to return it cause the c.d made me wanna go to sleep the record store wouldnt accept the c.d so I kept it. Just recently when Fiona began getting awards and the " sleep to dream " and " criminal" videos started playing and fiona was all over the place then I started getting in to the hype and you know I love all the songs.

What Fiona is to a lot of her fans is someone that wont get involve on the bullshit. Just recently Fiona did the Spin magazine and in it she said something about Tori calling the poster girl of rape. Now being a fan of both I didnt get into that, but on a tori website it said that Tori and Fiona worked it out. Since Fiona came out I always had the idea that Fiona and Tori should join to sing "never is a promise" and "caught a lite sneeze".

The effect of her music is enchanting to whoever listens to it her music rejoices the times when Billy Holiday,Nina Simone and Ella Fitzgerald were alive for little known Fiona could fit up there with the legends of Jazz she is not trying to be cool,she is not trying to change things and we as her fans don't expect her to change for the media or for us just to deliver her music,her thoughts and herself for that is why Fiona is also an angel of the poets

THE ONE AND ONLY SARAH MCLACHALAN

Sarah has always been a mystical experience for me. She is what defines the poetic and rhythm. I fell in love with her when she came out with "possession" for " Fumbling towards ecxtasy ". The song possession what it did for me the first time I heard it I had to get the album right away and all of the songs where great. Just recently Sarah gave the reason why she wrote the song "possession" and it was taken from the letters of a stalker, the stalker sued her but lost and the end was a tragedy cause the stalker killed himself.

I have been surprised that her new album "surfacing" has been getting a lot of people hooked. I have a friend that wasn't into Sarah before now he is hooked on it. I see why she called it " surfacing " cause all of her struggles through her carreer she has kept on and like Tori. She has made a dent in the musical industry when she launched the first ever women tour " lilith fair" the tour was a surprise to everyone and it makes me think why this idea wasnt thought up before.

Sarah sure has come a long way and she is a legend in the making and for all that she has done. Through insperations and all she is also considered an angel of the poets

NOBODY CAN'T BEAT RADIOHEAD

when I first heard of Radiohead was when they came out with the song " creep " I loved the song and when I heard " fake plastic trees " I said to myself I have to buy an album from Radiohead well I did but that was after I saw " clueless " cause it has been a month that I heard " fake plastic trees " so hearing it in the movie brought me that feeling that I had when I first heard it. I bought " the bends " Radiohead's second album, all of the songs were terrific " street spirit ( fade out),Just, high and dry, etc..." and I loved that they dedicated that album ot one of the greatest comics of this lifetime Bill Hicks (which tool also dedicated their album to him too ).

This went through my mind when I got this album " why Radiohead never got recognized with this album " I knew that this band was good What new band comes out and leaves you with an impact such as the song " creep" 'till this I am still singing it. When Radiohead came out with " OK Computer " I thought this album wont be recognized cause of the silly name, but like that saying says " dont judge a book by it's cover " this album has finally given the recognition that they deserve with outstanding grammy nominitions and making every critics top ten list the sun has shed a light to this group and in my opinion " karma police " is the soft and quiet side to what " creep " was. and so I leave you with the talent and the unstoppable force that is Radiohead these boys can outdo Beck anyday dont get me wrong I love Beck to but stop and think who has more creativity in their heads so with the last thing I consider Radiohead to be Angels of the poets.
