Michael Jackson

Michael Joseph Jackson, i really don’t think that this man needs any introduction. He is the “King of the Pop”. The most successful singer, performer and entertainer, that this world has ever known. Unfortunately he died few months back, but his magical music and dance still beholds millions of MJ fans across the world.

I still remember that as a kid, i used to follow Michael Jackson religiously. I used to imitate his style of singing,  although i was a terrible singer. But i wasn’t a bad dancer and i soon started following his footsteps. I learned the famous “Moon Walk” and i still enjoy doing it after so many years. I have been a crazy fan of his dance and singing, since last 15 years. I guess i have all his songs including the ones from Jackson 5. And i was really looking forward to his last tour “This Is It” which unfortunately could not be commenced.

Anyways, MJ’s unique contribution to the music industry and dance is unforgettable. He had been ruling the world for almost four decades. 13 Grammy Awards and 17 number one singles speaks all about his talent and popularity. “Billie Jean”, “Beat It” and “Thriller” are probably the most popular songs ever. He truly was a genius.

Anyways, Michael Jackson was born on 29th August 1958. Today, it would have been his 51st birthday. So i guess it’s a good time to remember Michael Jackson and cherish each enjoyable moment that he has brought into our lives whether by singing or dancing.

Happy Birthday Michael Joseph Jackson!!!

I though for a while as to what MJ song should i embed in with this post. It wasn’t a difficult choice as this song titled “You Are Not Alone” is one of my favorite song. The one particular song that i like to hear when i am feeling low, depressed, upset or sad. This song always seemed to cheer me up somehow. If you haven’t heard it before, then i hope you love the song as much as i do.

Sorry, i couldn’t post the original video because it is not allowed to embed it. Some copyrights issues and stuff. You can watch it on YouTube though.
By the way, if you really want to see a crazy fan, checkout this video “You Are Not Alone Live In Munich“. The girl actually turned out to be very lucky. She even made Michael Jackson cry because of her love for him. Must watch i guess!

I am a big fan of music. It’s what i do most of the time. I listen to music like 10-12 hours a day. Although i have my favorites with the likes of Lenny Kravitz, Def Leppard, Creed, Michael Jackson and many more but that doesn’t stop me to constantly look forward to hear new artists who are making their presence felt in music industry. Few months back, Susan Boyle came to the big arena of “Britain Got Talent” and she created a sensation world over with her voice. Unfortunately she bagged second position in the grand finale of the show, but her voice still beats in many hearts. There was another guy whose singing talent was much appreciated. His name is Shaun Smith and he sang “Ain’t No Sunshine” by “Bill Withers“. I am mentioning him here, as “Ain’t No Sunshine” is my one of the favorite songs and has already been re-sung by 100 plus known artists including Akon, Michael Jackson and Lenny Kravitz. Shaun Smith too created a little sensation on the web.

But Oh My God! Susan Boyle’s craze was still all around the web when this young fellow named “Danyl Johnson” came to the music arena in auditions of The X Factor. Danyl not only sang but performed on the song titled “With a Little Help from My Friends” which is written by John Lennon and Paul McCartney and was “The Beatles” song. It was the auditions and his first attempt ever. It was such an impressive performance, i literally felt goosebumps all over my body. He truly performed like a rockstar out there and everyone is crazy about his performance.

Danyl Johnson is being compared to Susan Boyle already. All for the obvious singing talent reasons. I am already a fan of his voice. All judges really appreciated his voice and performance. In particular, Simon Cowell said that “It’s the best first audition he’s ever heard in almost nine years of doing judging“. Wow!!! That’s a pretty huge comment for someone who has just stepped into auditions of X Factor.

Here is an online video of Danyl Johnson performing and rocking the X Factor auditions. Do leave your comments on the performance

Ishmeet Singh

This comes as a shocking news.

The recently chosen voice of India, Ishmeet Singh is no more.

This 19 year old singer, with such great talent won the Voice of India in November’2007. At the tender age of 19, he became famous all over India because of his lovely melodious voice. He was a true star!

He was in Maldives on a promotional event with some music company. He was swimming in the hotel pool of Male, Maldives, when under unknown mysterious circumstances, he died. News channels says he drowned in the swimming pool but no one knows the exact reason.

Ishmeet Singh, such a young boy with such great talent was truly a gem. He was so much soft spoken, honest, courteous and a handsome boy. He will be truly missed. Rest in peace dear Ishmeet

I have never been much satisfied with Adsense for celebrity sites anyways. Since last 5-6 months Google Adsense has been paying a cent or two for every click i get on my celebrity sites network. Believe me, i have lot of traffic on those sites and i really do get lot of clicks there. An average 100 clicks give me $2.00 only. I mean, this really is insane. Isn’t it? Is that what the advertisers at adwords are really paying for celebrity sites? I feel totally looted here!

Anyways, recently i was browsing my Adsense account and there in those green highlighted pointers it was written that verifying your website via Google Webmaster Tools will help us serve you better. Well, i thought this is it. Much targeted ads, much more money and much better revenue for the celebrity sites. So i readily added and verified all my celebrity websites. So what do you think? Problem solved? Am i earning more now?

Lol Not really. It’s even worse! Now an average 100 clicks give me $0.50 to $0.75. There you are Google Adsense. You really are brilliant with getting much more targeted ads.

My Dear God. Who in the world pays less than 1 cent per click to any advertiser program in the whole wide world?

I checked the ads running on my sites. Just reading the url and opening them in new windows. Each and every site is Made for Adsense (MFA). And they look worse. With absolutely no content. For God sake even blogspot blogs are being advertised by Adsense! Where is the Google TOS of “good landing page” being applied? I just want to ask, why is Google so dumb with their advertisers? And yet they come out brave and merciless when it comes to paid advertising on other sites which we have, by deindexing and banning and PR ripping things. What is it with you Google? Why don’t you get a life? Why can’t you live your own life and let live others their own?

Fact is, Google won’t let you sell advertising on your sites and blah blah blah, because they want people to use Adsense instead. But hey, they will not let you earn with Adsense either. Because they can’t filter MFA’s from their advertiser program.

So there you have it. Google Adsense vs. Celebrity Sites. You clearly know who the winner is! Don’t ruin your life. Get some better publisher advertisement programs on your celebrity sites.
