Transform Ya

Ok, Chris Brown is hot.  He is an amazing dancer and has a great voice too.  I can’t get enough of this video.  In this song Lil’ Wayne is doing what he does best, cameo vocals.  Whoever thought to let this guy record his own music is an idiot, not to mention his rock album.  But when he throws some lines into other people’s music, it works.  Thanks Lil’ Wayne for your weird annoying voice that I love in small doses.  And thank you Chris Brown for being so attractive that it makes me almost forget about what you did to Rihanna.

and this one is to illustrate the fact that he can actually sing.  And Cassie’s hair in this video is amazing.

Christmas at the Yuma House

This is what I stay up late at night to do…and then complain about all the time I don’t have to do the important stuff I need to get done.

I like my roommates.

LXD

LXD stands for the Legion of Extraordinary Dancers.  They performed last week on the results show of So You Think You Can Dance.  They were incredible!  So my brother and I looked them up and the preview for the online “dance adventure” looks so incredibly beautiful.  It is a web series that is starting in 2010.  ”The 10-week Volume One of LXD, set to launch early this summer, will chronicle the formation of “the most elite dance crew in the world,” tracing the origins of the seven schools of dance that make up the famed crew. Chu blends comic-book style characters with a fictional cinematic narrative. The story begins with the modern day regrouping of a 1930’s era dance troupe birthed out of the traveling circus circuit.”  Sounds exciting and fantastic.  Can’t wait.

Here is the video of their performance on SYTYCD and the two trailers for the show.  Get ready to be amazed.
