Three 'Members'

Yay! I have three 'members' of my blog besides me. Thanks to "Pixel Punk", I have my sick website now - www.katherinegracejohnson.com and not the old boring http:/ site.... :) Thank you so much!! :)
And also, a big thank you to Jocelyn Porter, an AMAZING photographer, check her out! http:/jocelynporter.blogspot.com & www.jocelynporter.com :) SHE ROCKS ;-)
My last 'member' is Kiki! ;-) Thank you so much for the support! <3
YES. At last I am not the only one following my blog. (Which I only do to see my posts in "reader".) 
Haha.
So, I've accomplished more than I ever imagined on this blog. It hasn't even been a month yet, and I am so thrilled at the result of my posts. I have written less than 30. The way you guys read them, and you really respond to them, it just blows me away every time. Seeing that my page has had 118 page views makes me so happy! I was amazed. It's just outrageous. I am so so happy.
Thank you thank you. 13. 13. 13. 13. 13. 13. 13. 13. 13. 13. 13. 13. 13.
I love, love, love you

My Songwriting

Hi! First off, THANK YOU. I now have 118 page views, and 6 from Canada! Yay! :)
Anyway, I got a request to write a little about my songwriting. Thanks for the request, Kiki! ;)
I really like songwriting because it's a fun way to pass time, it's a creative process, it's writing and it gets your feelings out. Those are all good things! Right?! Haha. So, I write all the time. Being able to play guitar and piano is a plus, and I want a uke for my birthday as well as a 12-string guitar! (Christmas maybe?? :) ) 
Sooooo......
Songwriting is a plus because it's fun and sort of a therapy. It's just a really enjoyable thing. I know that Taylor Swift is my role model and I write songs like she does. It kind of helps to have a motivator when writing. Mine is always to share my music with other people. This is also what Taylor does.
So find a role model and a motivator. Pick up your favorite instrument. Ready, set...WRITE! ;)

Lyric Quotes

So, I just wanted to share some of my favorite lyrics from current songs. 
HERE YOU GO! :D 


Take each day/and make it last/cos you turn around and the future is the past/here and now/is all we have/the beginning and the end mean so little/what matters most is what's in the middle
(Lauren Alaina/The Middle)


But I took your matches before fire could catch me/so don't look now
(Taylor Swift/Dear John)


For all we know/we might not get tomorrow/let's do it tonight
(Give Me Everything/idk the singer :o)


Oh, she could've been mine/but we ran out of summertime
(Scotty McCreery/Out Of Summertime)


Just a shot/in the dark/that you just might/be the one/I've been waiting for/my whole life/so baby I'm alright/alright
(LadyA/Just A Kiss)


Any suggestions on a post topic? That's what the comment button is for...;)

Good Life - OneRepublic

Hi! So I actually do have more time than I thought. I'm going to do a quick review of OneRepublic's newest song "Good Life". I really liked this song at first, because it was kinda fun and "jungly" in the way that it reminded me of a journey/safari into Africa. Haha. I just got kind of sick of it after a while. It's getting too much air time, and it's getting old. But if you've never heard it, you'll like it...the first few times, anyway. Haha :)

Disney Channel - Music & Magic

I think I was around 7 when I was jamming out to Hannah Montana. Every little kid loved her back then. They would dance, and get all happy when her music played. At least I did. Her show played on Disney Channel, and Miley Cyrus portrayed a teenager/tween who was a secret pop star. And the soundtrack from that show led to concerts. Those concerts led to live CDs. Those CDs led to movies playing in theaters, and the movies led to "Epic Season Conclusions" like "Miley Says Goodbye??" Haha. I still remember how scared I was when I watched that preview. I didn't like her very much anymore, but the thought of losing that backup show on Disney Channel...was weird, I guess. It wasn't that season that ended it, though. It was Hannah Montana Forever, when Miley goes off to college with Lily, aka Emily Osment. That was the final episode played on Disney Channel.
So there ends a phase of something so radical, so fresh at the time. Now gone. But get ready, there's more. 
You might wonder why she was so popular. My guess is that her music had a big influence on gaining her fans. Because she was not only an actress, but a singer, she had a group of followers supporting her 101%. 
China Anne McClain of ANT Farm, a new series on Disney Channel, is also a singer, with a cover of Taio Cruz's "Dynamite" and her theme song. She also has a song called "Calling All The Monsters" which was featured on yet another show newer to Disney Channel called "Shake It Up". 
So, my point is, music is powerful. When Disney stars from shows are asked to sing, it is most likely because they want a powerful fan base, not because they are talented. These phases will come and go, but Disney will always add another. They won't stop.
I feel like sometimes it is not needed (Mitchell Musso, not naming names...) to make a star sing, because they are not especially talented, but they do it anyways, just because they know there are people out there that will listen.
Radio Disney is just that - people that will not only listen, but CONSTANTLY advertise, talk about, and play. They are like the outlet for any new stars, Disney or not.
So, now you know what I think of Disney Channel and the music they make. 
But here's a disclaimer:
THIS DOES NOT INCLUDE SELENA GOMEZ.
Selena and her band are signed to Hollywood Records. They are not Disney...so DON'T criticize. 
She IS talented.
_THE END_
Thanks for reading this very long article - like post. :)

American Idol Season 10!

YAY! I'm kinda excited to write this. Because, since Season 7, I've loved this show.
American Idol, hosted by Ryan Seacrest, began Season 1 when Kelly Clarkson took home the title of American Idol Champion. She is still famous today, proving that the show has a big impact on today's culture. So Season 10 excited me as a new season always does. But when I watched Hollywood Week, then the Top 36, and then Top 10, and Top 5, I got really, really excited. I found out there was someone for every group, or every genre. My favorites were Lauren, #2, and Haley, #3 or #4...I can't remember :P
Haha. But anyways, when Scotty McCreery won, at first I was sad. But as time went on, I came to realize that he was AMAZING. And seeing him on the American Idols Live! Tour was amazing. The crowd was just crazy, and that was a wonderful night. My charm bracelet, hat, and glossy photo of Haley are standing reminders of that lovely day. I also got the opportunity to meet the Top 2 contestants. They were very nice, friendly people, and it was such an amazing day. I was so happy to be seeing them live after meeting them. They were really, really nice and friendly! :) 
The concert was just amazing. This season really pleased me with the great variety of contestants. I really liked Casey Abrams, the one who the "save" was used on, because of his sense of humor. He doesn't tend to dress up ;)
He's Casey...and he plays the bassy. Haha. :)
Well, this concludes my blog about this year's AI. Thank you for reading it! Also, a shout out to my readers who are starting to read my every post...yay! You make my day. Seeing constant page views makes me way happier than you'd ever know.
Thank you thank you.

Foster The People

Hello! Foster The People has a song on the radio right now called Pumped Up Kicks. It's kinda silly. The chorus says "All the other kids with the pumped up kicks better run better run, outrun my gun, all the other kids with the pumped up kicks you better run better run, faster than my bullet."
The verses are hardly verses at all...they sound like ba da da mumble mumble...haha. But this song seems like it belongs in a comedy movie....
Thanks for reading :)

Good Morning!

The 13th Post!

Ready for bed, but I just noticed that I had 12 posts. And I'm sitting here, like, Taylor Swift would want me to post one more time. Because this is my.....
13th Post!!!!!!!!!!!!
YAY! If you guys didn't know, 
Taylor Swift's lucky number is 13. She says that it shows up in her life before good things happen. I have actually always liked the number, but when I found out it was her favorite, too, I got even more excited about it. So, I tend to write it on the back of my hand in Sharpie like she does before every concert, as well as lyrics down her arm. (Speak Now Tour and Fearless Tour)
That's all for now. I had to make this post short because I'm tired. Tomorrow I have school, so I won't be posting as much, but you can definitely expect some posts from me. I'm kind of obsessed with this right now, and I have a feeling this obsession will start to fade, but I know I'll never COMPLETELY stop posting, until I'm way older. Because I really like it. 
So yay. My 13th post in one day. My very first day on my music blog.
Thank you to anyone who read this on it's first day. I am really happy. Really happy because of you. So thanks. 13

Train - a group with lots of hits like "Hey Soul Sister" and "Drops of Jupiter", you can find them on pop music stations. They sing awesome songs!


Selena Gomez & The Scene - my all-time favorite band. I just love Selena. Can be found on pop stations, with hits like "Who Says". 


Cobra Starship - Sings "You Make Me Feel". Can be found on pop stations. A "two-hit" wonder so far. 


The Band Perry - Sometimes called "TBP", they can be found on both country and pop radio stations. They have hits like "If I Die Young" and "You Lie". They have a current single called "All Your Life". The lead singer is Kimberly Perry. The other two members are her brothers.


Lady Antebellum - can be found on both pop and country stations. Commonly heard on the radio are the songs "Just A Kiss" and "I Run To You". Those are just a few of their many hit songs.

Katy Perry

Hi! So Katy Perry is a good singer. She was only allowed to listen to religious music when she was young! Can you believe it? :O 
Anyways, her song Last Friday Night (TGIF) is #4 on Ryan Seacrest Top 40 this week! Pretty cool right? 
She sings pop music, and some of her hits include Teenage Dream, I Kissed A Girl, Hot N Cold, and Firework.
She tends to wear crazy outfits and she likes to dye her hair crazy colors. I really like some of her music. Her songs are always SO catchy! :)
Thanks for reading!

Nicki Minaj!

Hey! I'm REALLY excited to write this blog...haha. Because I am just some random girl, it wouldn't be thought that I could rap part of Super Bass...but I can. Haha. So I really just wanted to say that I think Nicki Minaj's song Super Bass is awesome...haha :) She actually sang it with Taylor Swift on the Speak Now Tour, and Taylor spoke about it in an interview and even rapped it while Nicki had the mic! She really likes the song, and so does Selena Gomez! There's a video on her YouTube channel, selenagomez, of her rapping it! She also raps part of it after the 1st verse and chorus of her song Intuition every night on her "We Own The Night" tour with her band, the Scene! :)
Even though her song Fly doesn't really "FLY" with me...haha....I really think she's awesome. Please listen to Super Bass...haha. :) Thank you! :)

I think it's titled "Make A Request" or something. I don't remember, but I don't have that many posts. Thank you!

Christina Grimmie

Hi! Right now you're going to read a little bit about rising star Christina Grimmie. When zeldaxlove64 (Christina) registered herself on YouTube and uploaded her first cover song with her keyboard for a track behind her voice, she had no idea that hundreds of people would be viewing her minute each day. She also had no idea that she'd be touring with Selena Gomez & the Scene in 2011. Yet she accomplished both of these things. She uploaded some videos of her and her keyboard, and they became very popular on the YouTube sites. She soon was asked to be a part of Selena's tour lineup, with Allstar Weekend, who couldn't finish the tour because one of the members of the band quit (rumor, he may only be taking a break).
But, Christina is very talented. You can only pick up her CD (hard copy) at Selena's concerts, but you can get it on digital download via iTunes. You can also find her covers on YouTube. Just search zeldaxlove64. She's really talented! Her songs Advice and Liar Liar are played a lot on Radio Disney! So go out and search her online! She wants you to go on and listen! ;)
Thanks for reading!

Hit Songs

Hi everyone! Right now, I'm going to write a little bit about what I think of some of the songs I hear on the radio. I'm going to be reviewing five. Enjoy.

1. You Make Me Feel - Cobra Starship feat. Sabi
I really like this song! Cobra Starship had a song really popular a while ago called "Good Girls Go Bad" or something like that, and I liked it, but it got old fast. I was excited to hear a new song from them. The lyrics are pretty good, and you can't get the song out of your head. It's a worthwhile song to be playing right now.

2. Someone Like You - Adele
I like this song okay, but I think personally it is overplayed, at least by my local stations. To be honest, XM plays it a lot too....haha. But it's actually a pretty good song, and I like the track behind it....I just wasn't a big fan in the first place and with the air time it's getting right now, I'm kind of annoyed by it. I do like Adele though! :)

3. Sparks Fly - Taylor Swift
I really, really, really like this song. The melody and lyrics are awesome. It's super catchy. The only problem is that I never hear it! I hear it hardly at all, and usually her songs do so well! I'm hoping it will only become more popular!

4. Stereo Hearts - Gym Class Heroes feat. Adam Levine
A really good, catchy pop song. It features the lead singer of Maroon 5, and it's just really happy and fun. I kind of freak out every time it comes on because I just love it.

5. Fly - Nicki Minaj feat. Rihanna
I have to say, Super Bass is my guilty pleasure song.  I can rap parts of it flawlessly (just ask my friends) and I really just love it. But I was kinda dissapointed to hear this second popular song of hers. Not to be negative, but Super Bass just is a better song. Fly is okay, and Rihanna's part of singing the chorus makes it sound a little bit better, but all in all I don't think it's the best song playing.

That's my review of some popular songs. I hope you enjoyed reading it! Thank you!

Taylor Swift

Taylor Swift is my FAVORITE singer. I met her June 21, 2011 and went to her Speak Now Tour. I also went to the Keith Urban concert when she opened for him. I don't remember that date though - it was a while ago!
Anyways, Taylor Swift is awesome. She was born December 13 and has always loved to sing. But this isn't an autobiography, this is all about her music.
Her first single is called "Tim McGraw". It is really good, and very country. It was released when she was 16. Her CD was released later that year, titled "Taylor Swift" and had hits including "Teardrops on My Guitar" and "Our Song" included in its track list.
It was succesful, but didn't do nearly as well as her second release, "Fearless". Her second CD was VERY succesful, and at this point in her career she was ready for her first headlining tour. She sold out shows in many different places. She sang on a stage that she helped to design each night for about a year.
And a while later came SPEAK NOW! :)
Speak Now is her current release, and she is still on her tour for this CD. With opener NEEDTOBREATHE, her tour is a huge production, with similarities to a Broadway show in that it includes dancers, music, and much, much more. The sets are amazing, and must have taken FOREVER!
So, all in all, Taylor Swift is amazing.
I hope you enjoyed hearing a little bit about Tay. Now go out and listen to her music!
