Up To The Mountain
Up To The Mountain, beautiful day, beautiful day lyrics, black velvet, black velvet lyrics, crystal bowersox, everybody hurts, everybody hurts lyrics, rem, up to the mountain, up to the mountain lyrics
Up To The Mountain,Beautiful Day Lyrics:American Idol 2010 fans got their first true taste of what kind of recording artist Crystal Bowersox might be, as she performed the single she’ll release if she ends up winning the competition On Tuesday (May 25) night.
The song is called “Up to the Mountain (MLK Song),” originally written by Patty Griffin, and MamaSox absolutely killed it. Sitting on a stool with her guitar, the song started slowly and, from the first note, perfectly fit the singer’s style. Her raw vocal power was on full display, a soul- and gospel- and folk-tinged vibe that establishes her as a sort of combination of Janis Joplin and Tracy Chapman for the 21st century. Her connection to the lyrics — inspired by Martin Luther King, Jr.’s iconic 1968 “I’ve Been to the Mountaintop” speech — was unmistakable as she sang, “Sometimes I feel like I’ve been nothing but tired/ And I’ll be working till the day I expire.”
This wasn’t the first time the song was performed on the “Idol” stage. Back in 2007, Kelly Clarkson and Jeff Beck busted out the tune during the “Idol Gives Back” charity effort. Susan Boyle also recorded the song for her debut album, I Dreamed a Dream. And after Bowersox’s take on the track, the judges had a hard time avoiding a sort of coronation moment.

24 Movie
24 movie is definitely in the works but no date has been pick for shooting to begin as yet. This evening, one of the most famous secret agents since James Bond said good bye for now.
We saw Jack Bauer one last time played by Kiefer Sutherland on the run from his enemies and former friends on the FOX channel.
But according to various media outlets this is not the end of Jack Bauer because a movie project is underway and the producers are longing to torment him on the big screen.

Madrasapattinam Music Review
Music Director : G.V.Prakash Kumar
Vocals : Roop Kumar Rathod, Harini, Andrea Jeremiah, G.V.Prakash Kumar, Udit Narayan, V.M.C.Haneefa, Amy Jackson, M.S.Viswanathan, ‘Chiyaan ‘Vikram, Nasser, Na.Muthukumar, Ajayan Bala, Sonu Nigam, Saindavi, Hariharan, Zia, Augustin Choir
Lyrics : Na.Muthukumar
Produced by Kalpathi S.Agoram and directed by Vijay (remember his ‘Kireedam’ and ‘Poi Solla Porom’?), this period piece, set in the Madras of the 1940s (more specifically Vannarappet area), speaks about the love that blossoms between a young dhobi who is also a trained wrestler and the lovely daughter of the Madras Governor. The stars include Arya (who has really struggled to tone up his physique) Amy Jackson (he British actress who won the ‘Miss Teen Princess award’), Nasser, VMC Haneefa, Alex O’Neill, M.S.Bhaskar and many others. G.V.Prakash who did a neat job in the offbeat movie ‘Aayirathil Oruvan’, is the music composer for this film. The entire crew seems to have taken a lot of effort to bring out the feel of Madras as it was then.

Music Director : AR Rahman
Vocals : Vijay Prakash, Mustafa Kutoane, Keerthi Sagathia, Karthik, Benny Dayal, Shankar Mahadevan, Anuradha Sriram, Shreya Goshal, Bhagyaraj, Rayhanah, Tanvi Shah.
Lyrics : Vairamuthu
Produced by Madras Talkies, this long-awaited movie brings together so many talents - Mani Ratnam directs, Suhasini Mani Ratnam pens the dialogues, Santosh Sivan cranks the camera, Vairamuthu handles the lyrics and Sabyasachi Mukherji designs the costumes. To top it all, our own A.R. Rahman takes charge of the music section. Explosive, isn’t it? The title itself suggests that ‘abduction’ could be the central theme of the story. By the way, the actors are Vikram, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Prithviraj, Karthik, Prabhu and Priya Mani. All lyrics are by Vairamuthu.

Ram Gopal Varma is a happy man
Director Ram Gopal Varma is a happy man today, thanks to Suriya. When the director approached him to begin the shooting of Raktha Charithra, the actor asked for a month’s time to tone up his body. RGV was sceptical about it because Suriya already had a fabulous body but decided to honour his wishes. A month later, when the actor presented himself before the director, he was surprised at the changes
Nayanthara is Happy
Nayanthara is happy that Elektra came her way. The movie is being directed by Shyam Prasad, the ace director. Nayan says that she always wanted to act under Shyam’s direction ever since she watched his Ore Kadal.
The lady is happy that the role offered to her in Elektra is woman-centric. Nayan plays Elektra Alexander in it and is happy to carry the title role. And what more! She gets to team up with Prakash Raj and Manisha Koirala in the film.
The actress rued that though it was her desire to act in meaningful films that offered her scope to act, she just got glam roles in Tamil and Telugu film industries.

Kites Movie Review
Starring: Hrithik Roshan, Kangna Ranaut, Barbara Mori, Kabir Bedi, Nick Brown.
Direction: Anurag Basu
Music: Rajesh Roshan
Production: Filmkraft Productions (I) Pvt Ltd
The movie starts off with a wounded Jai(Hrithik Roshan), in Mexico who is in-search of his true love who had gone missing. Jai's story then shifts to a flash back mode to know who he is and why is he in Mexico in such a horrible state? As the entire movie rests on a wafer thin story, let’s get straight to the analysis.
Hrithik Roshan is too good an actor to make mistakes and he is flawless as usual. He dances, looks and emotes like a star. Barbara Mori looks hot and has also come out with a touching performance. The scene in which she slaps Hrithik and the subsequent dialogues rendered are powerful and her eyes speaks volumes. Kangana Ranaut is just a show piece, she looks a million bucks and after a sensational dance sequence, she is hardly covered in a close up. She is there just to add to the glamour and star power. Nick Brown, over does his role but still is convincing enough as a baddie. Kabir Bedi is efficient.

Bret Michaels rushed into emergency
Poison frontman Bret Michaels remains in critical condition after suffering a braon hemorrhage last Thursday while recovering at his home in Texas after an emergency operation to remove his appendix. Michaels was put in intensive care to allow medics to determine the cause of the internal bleeding. His doctors are currently trying to find the starting point of his brain hemorrhage.
Bret Michaels’ official website posted a new message on Sunday: “Everyone at Michaels Entertainment would like to thank all fans and friends for their continued thoughts and prayers through this difficult time. After several CAT scans, MRIs, and an angiogram, doctors decided to keep Michaels in the ICU and are running several tests to determine the cause. It will be touch and go for the next few days while he is under intense observation.
Fans were thrilled when online reports suggested the star was in good spirits and talking just a day after the scare, but a spokesperson for the musician insists Michaels is still in a vulnerable state.
