Broken Hearts Heal - Janet Jackson

"Broken Hearts Heal" wonderful tribute to Janet Jackson's brother Michael from her "Unbreakable" album.

     

 

It was a long long time ago
But I remember it like yesterday
Amazing times while we were growing
Round all the brightest stars the world had seen
We made-up songs to do our chores to
And harmonized while we all did our part
Danced and sang our way through most anything
Always felt safe in each others' love

It was in summer that you left me
The fall and winter never felt so cold
And Lord knows words can never express it
Life feels so empty I miss you much
Painful tears like never before
We can't laugh together till we cry
But our love's ain't no material thing
Inshaallah, see you in the next life

Broken hearts heal
Stronger
Broken hearts last
Longer
Broken hearts heal
Stronger
Ooh ooh ooh
La da da da la la

But our love ain't no material thing
Inshaallah, see you in the next life
It was a long long time ago
But yet it seems just like yesterday
Such amazing times while growing up
Always felt safe in each others' love
It was a long long time ago
The fall and winter felt so cold
But our love ain't no material thing
Inshaallah, see you in the next life
But our love is so much more than just material
Til the next life.

Shoulda Known Better - Janet Jackson

"Shoulda Known Better" from Janet Jackson's "Unbreakable" album has quickly become one of my favourites.

A baby girl without a home
Tragedy's reign left her alone
I guess I shoulda known better
But she's a citizen of the world
A right to life her cry's unheard
I guess I shoulda known better
Why why why why

Part of the revolution
Ready for real solutions
We won't accept excuses
We tolerate no abuses
Cause I don't want my face to be
That poster child for being naive
Why why why why
I guess I shoulda known better

Headlines are real or just the news
Between the lines there's human truth
I guess I shoulda known better
Each day I'm faced with irony but
Just can't feel casual about casualties no
I guess I shoulda known better
I guess I shoulda known better
Why why why why

Part of the revolution
Ready for real solutions
We won't accept excuses
We tolerate no abuses
Cause I don't want my face to be
That poster child for being naive
Why why why why
I guess I shoulda known better

It's never the critic that counts
Cause critics only wanna talk
While enlightened minds and open hearts
Together make this world a better place

Awakening a better choice
It only starts if you lift your voice
And say I shoulda known better
And so next time I'll know better
Why why why why

Part of the revolution
Ready for real solutions
We won't accept excuses
We tolerate no abuses
Cause I don't want my face to be
That poster child for being naive
Why why why why
I guess I shoulda known better
Why why why why
I guess I shoulda known better

I had this great epiphany
And rhythm nation was the dream
I guess next time I'll know better

Fame U.K.Tour Plea!

 

Fame Fan Gina Iliffe sent this to the BBC to try and get them interested Fame Cast U.K. Reunion tour:

In 1982 the biggest story of the year was the tv show ‘ The Kids from Fame’. It was the year of the all singing and dancing show hitting the UK after the massive success of the global 1980 Fame movie produced by David De Silva and directed by Alan Parker and staring Irene Cara, Debbie Allen and Lee Curreri.

Every Thursday night a whole generation sat beside their tv in ant...icipation to see what life was like in the performing school of the arts in NYC with Leroy and Coco (Erica Gimple) the dancers, curly headed musician Bruno (Lee Curreri) and the old music teacher Mr Shrofsky. ‘Starmaker’ the song was high in the UK top 40 charts and the Kids from Fame came to England twice to do sell out concerts – packing out the Albert Hall. Tickets were the hottest thing in town and the Kids from Fame were literally mobbed wherever they went. On the front of all newspapers, whilst we the real kids wore our leg warmers to school and wanted to be just like them.

The tv show was based on the motion picture of the same name and ended in 1987.
Fast forward and here we are in 2015 and they are holding their first ever reunion of all 7 members of the cast. This will be held in Northern Italy on Saturday 5th December in the aid of an Italian children’s charity to give support to disadvantaged children. Actors and singers from the original cast will perform in a show of poetry, music and theatre. The show will be unique and original, written especially for this once in a life time occasion. It is a combination of dance, music and song which mingle on stage to create an artistic union of all the arts.
Jesse Borrego, Lee Curreri, Cynthia Gibb, Erica Gimpel, Carlo Imperato, Valerie Landsburg and Nia Peeples will perform together for the first time in decades. In the years following the amazing wonderful Fame success the cast have been very successful in tv work. Motion movies, writing music and scores, singing and empowering the next generations to ‘live the dream’.

The above cast are very close with fans in the UK and we are shocked to know they are not coming to the UK as they do not have a promoter to run the equivalent charity project here. I have been in touch weekly with Lee Curreri who said the cast would be more than happy to perform in the UK once again, knowing there is a generation dying to relive their childhood dreams. All we need is a promoter and this could be REALLY big.
Gina Iliffe.

The Italian fans have shown us that Dreams can Come True.

Contact the BBC to have your say.

Janet Jackson "Burn It Up" lyrics

Whooo, I'ma shut this down

When the DJ play this we gon' dance like no one's watching
Hey Mr DJ bump the track and won't you turn it up
I'ma dance all night and I don't care who's out there watching us

Hurt your body, burn it up more
Burn it up and burn it up more
Hurt your body, burn it up more
That's how I burn it up

Ain't no sittin' down, gotta keep it up
Me and Missy got the whole room jumpin' up (that's right)
It's that motion from the second it drop
We get ahead with the beat is so hot, hot

So tell me what you wanna do? Louder
But don't do nothin' stupid
What is happening in front of you
All it is is love in the booth

Hey Mr DJ bump the track and won't you turn it up
I'ma dance all night and I don't care who's out there watching us
