SelenaGomez2011Wallpapers

Seems like a coming of age season for Selena Gomez with her music, acting career and personal growth. Seems like she has come to a place in her life where she loves where she’s at and completely contented in her own skin. That’s awesome. Role Models (for teen girls) still live, yeah. My prayers are with you Selena. Keep it up.

Love these two videos below. I think the lyrics are fun and carry positive messages, especially “Who Says.”

“Who Says” is a song that speaks about being comfortable in your own skin and loving yourself just as you are. It also notes that we are not the only ones that’s heard that you are not good enough, that’s the price of beauty (inside and out-my take). It is the most positive secular song I have come across for this year.

I love the musicality of “I Love you Like a Love Song,” I was singing it to my son, I think it could reflect any kind of relationship. I like that its not sexually hyped up, as a lot of these modern day love songs are, even the ones sang by boys and girls Selena’s age, who really shouldn’t be talking about these things.

I also very much like the creativity of the videos, especially the whimsicalness of “Love you like a Love Song.” Awesome stuff. What do you think?

Lyrics Below:

I Love You Like a Love Song

[Verse 1]
It’s been said and done
Every beautiful thought’s been already sung
And I guess right now here’s another one
So your melody will play on and on, with best of ‘em
You are beautiful, like a dream come alive, incredible
A centerfold miracle, lyrical
You’ve saved my life again
And I want you to know baby

[Chorus]
I, I love you like a love song, baby
I, I love you like a love song, baby
I, I love you like a love song, baby

And I keep hittin’ re-peat-peat-peat-peat-peat

I, I love you like a love song, baby
I, I love you like a love song, baby
I, I love you like a love song, baby

And I keep hittin’ re-peat-peat-peat-peat-peat

[Verse 2]
Constantly, boy you played through my mind like a symphony
There’s no way to describe what you do to me
You just do to me, what you do
And it feels like I’ve been rescued
I’ve been set free
I am hypnotized by your destiny
You are magical, lyrical, beautiful
You are…I want you to know baby

[Chorus]
I, I love you like a love song, baby
I, I love you like a love song, baby
I, I love you like a love song, baby

And I keep hittin’ re-peat-peat-peat-peat-peat

I, I love you like a love song, baby
I, I love you like a love song, baby
I, I love you like a love song, baby

And I keep hittin’ re-peat-peat-peat-peat-peat

[Bridge]
No one compares
You stand alone, to every record I own
Music to my hear that’s what you are
A song that goes on and on

[Chorus]
I, I love you like a love song, baby
I, I love you like a love song, baby
I, I love you like a love song, baby

And I keep hittin’ re-peat-peat-peat-peat-peat

I, I love you like a love song, baby
I, I love you like a love song, baby
I, I love you like a love song, baby

I love you…like a love song…

Who Says

You made me insecure,
Told me I wasn’t good enough.
But who are you to judge

When you’re a diamond in the rough.
I’m sure you got some things

You’d like to change about yourself.
But when it comes to me,
I wouldn’t wanna be anybody else.

Na na na na na na na na na na na na

Na na na na na na na na na na na na na
O

I’m just beautiful me

Na na na na na na na na na na na na na

You’ve got every right
To a beautiful life.
Come on!

Who says?
Who says you’re not perfect?
Who says
you’re not worth it?
Who says you’re the only one that’s heard it?
Trust
me,
That’s the curse of beauty.
Who says you’re not pretty?
Who says
you’re not beautiful?
Who says?

It’s such a funny thing
How nothing’s funny when it’s you.
You tell me whatcha mean,
But they keep
whiting out the truth.
It’s like a work of art
That never gets to see the light.
Keep you beneath the stars,
Won’t let you touch the sky.

Na

Na na na na na na na na na na na na

I’m no beauty queen.
I’m just beautiful me.

Lyrics:

“Hello Fear”

Hello Fear
Before you sit down there’s something I need to explain
Since you’re here
I think I should tell you since we last talked things have changed
See I’m tired of being broken-hearted
So I made a list and you’re on it
All my hopes and my dreams You took from me
I want those back before you leave

Hello Fear
I knew I would see you, You have a hard time letting go
See these tears,Take a good look cuz, soon they wont fall anymore
God’s healing my hurful places
That seat that was yours now is taken
I’m no longer afraid,See I’m better this way
And one more thing before you leave

[Chorus]
Never again will I love you
My heart it refuses to be your home
No longer your prisoner
Today I remember
Apart from you is where I belong

And never again will I trust you
I’m tired of fighting it’s been way too long
No longer your prisoner
Today I remember
Who I was and now it’s gone
They’re gone
Hello Fear
Da da da da da, da da da da da

Farewell Goodbye So long [3X]

Hello Grace
It feels like forever, I thought my chance with you was gone
See your face, it reminds me of mercy
And please let me say I was wrong
Never knew your touch was endless
How you never run dry of forgiveness
Didn’t know how bad it was, was afraid just because
Sorry fear, grace took your place

[Chorus]

Farewell Goodbye So long [8X]

Hello Fear
Before you sit down there’s something I need to explain

I love all kinds of music; Hip-Hop, R & B; Alternative; Soft Rock; Latin, etc. I am not really a fan of much of today’s music; most artist produce very catchy and addicting lyrical nonsense; which in my opinion is how the devil communicates with our young people and alter the way they live their life.

Most young musical artist don’t want to take responsibility for that, but whether they choose to acknowledge it or not, they are doing so much more than just using the gifts God blessed them with to produce fun music you can groove to, but they are also a huge influence in our kid’s lives. Most of them selfishly choose to do, sing and perform what and how they want; ignoring the fact that their music encourages sexual immorality, negative thinking; addictive behavior and ruins lives. Yes, parents share the blame for allowing their small children to even listen to or watch the likes of Lady Gaga, Beyonce, Rihanna, the new Miley Cyrus and others who glamorize these things.

I loved secular music once. In fact, I remember thinking I’d have to give up the music I loved for HIM made me take a little longer to put both feet into my Christian walk. Now I am a woman after God’s own heart but I still love music. However, I hate the crap they call music these days; we are downloading ignorance that doesn’t teach or encourage in to our minds. I personally believe it is possible to produce a quality product that both teaches and is fun. It seems most (of today’s talented artist) just want to be famous, not taking into consideration the weight of the content of their music and how they carry themselves in the public eye.

Anyway, I stopped listening to music (not completely but mostly) for a while, because I haven’t found music to love again, until now. I finally decided to stop complaining and do something about it. So I downloaded legally some good Christian music I can do housework, exercise; bounce and meditate to. I downloaded some Kirk Franklin, Barlow Girls; Ron Kenoly; Michael W. Smith; Mary Mary; Nicole C.Mullen; Bebe and Cece Winans; Steven Curtis Chapman (my favorite); and more.

I have fallen in love with music again and now my step has more pep. After all music is a universal language.

Here are some of my favorites, check ‘em out:

Cinderella- Steven Curtis Chapman
Lift HIM up- Ron Kenoly
I need you to love me- Barlow Girl
Get Up-Mary Mary
Thank You- Mary Mary
When I Call on Jesus- Nicole C.Mullen
I Believe in Love-Barlow Girl
Miracle of the Moment-Steven Curtis Chapman
My Life is in your Hands-Kirk Franklyn
In the morning- Mary Mary
Draw Me Close to You- Michael W.Smith
I Know my Redeemer Lives- Nicole C.Mullen
One Heartbeat at Time- Steven Curtis Chapman
More to this Life-Steven Curtis Chapman
It’s the God in me-Mary Mary
God has Smiled on me-Mary Mary

Wow, I’m almost at a lost for words. How many of you actually liked this video?

To all Lady Gaga and Beyonce fans, my apologies for stepping on any toes here, but I really don’t think this was a very good video.

This is a perfect example of how the media is Satan’s best device to corrupt human society. Maybe all those involved considers this video artistic expression, but I consider it another notch on Satan’s belt in his pursuit of the destruction of God’s beautiful creations, human beings and this world.

We are heading for an ugly place, our children are in deep trouble, and today’s very talented top selling music artistes are taking us there. Intense I know, but the truth is intense sometimes.

Now, about the actual video, what does this music video have to do with the lyrics of the song?

I have no clue.

This video seems completely Gaga-style, but it didn’t fit naturally on Beyonce to me. Actually it looked God awful on her. I’m not saying Beyonce is any better a role model than Gaga, well, she’s not. I just thought she had a little more class than that.

Beyonce and Lady Gaga’s wardrobe was a bit kooky, and some of Gaga’s looks reminded me of Madonna from her “Who’s That Girl” (movie-1987) days. They had some attention-grabbing, scary looking chicks in this video. The ending was weird, dumb and unnecessary. Okay, the whole video was like that.

All and all this video stands for everything Christianity and God’s word stands against, it is sinful and awful (not because it’s sinful but because it’s just awful in my opinion). Seriously, if this video won an award, could anyone start off by saying; “I’d like to thank God first and formost…” I guess they wouldn’t do that anyway.

It is not worth a moment of your time. So why am I writing about it? Not very smart!

Anyway, you can waste your time and watch it below:
