THE SOUND-MARY MARY

I remember when Mary Mary first came out with thier first Gopsel Cd in 1998 or was it 1999. "Shackles" was the hit back then with Televison stations showing the video and also it became a church entertainment dance in most churches. It is really impressing to know that they have grown so much and even gotten so much better over the years. In between their career, they got married and now have children.

I think their driving force is the passion for what they do. They are talented gospel singers and i can't but help to grimace at thier hairdo's once in a while especially on the covers of thier cd's. In 2008, they came out with a new cd which is really hip. I love the cd and my favorite tracks are "Seattle" "Boom", "Dirt",Get Up" and "Superfriend". They have done "R&B", Classical music" "Hip Hop' and "rap" on all their other cd's but this new cd also has followed the revolution of music in the first decade of the 21st century. I sometimes bump to the "crank that stuff" music from "Superfriend" that was done with David Banner. I also find "God in Me' with Kiki sheard nice. I think it is a good Cd and it is worth buying. I am a Mary Mary fan. When is the next CD coming out.

JENIFA-THE MOVIE

I was encouraged to watch this nigerian movie for the longest. finally i did and it is the most hilarious movie i have ever watched.

It is about a young college freshman who was a nobody and wanted to become somebody. She ended up meeting some wayward young ladies and started living a very reckless lifestyle. Having sex with diferent men for money to look good and impress people.

I think the movie actualy reveals people's inner insecurities. Suliat came from a very poor background but she was really smart. She got to the campus and under the influence of her bad friends she changed her name to Jeniffer (Jenifa). I think Jenifa really didn't care about the way she looked or dressed until she was embarrassed several times. It was just like giving Eve the apple to eat and her eyes opened. Other girls made her feel insecure. It was sad the way one of their roomamtes died and her family realised that she was not even a student of that institution until after her death.

It is a movie for young girls to watch and realise that AIDS is real. I know a lot of youths are trying to make ends meet. Money is not everything, selling your bodies to make money to impress people that do not like you is not worth it. Sle fvalue is very necessary. I think Suliat was under intense peer pressure. All of a sudden she did not have a mind of her own and eventually ended up gaining nothing.

Some the words she used in the movie would always stick in my head such as "Ousshhhhhhhhh" "DFO" "my badday pariiiiiiiiiiiiiii" "Big gelz"
