Maranjyan) was born  in Dilijan, a small green town of northern Armenia. Lilya started  showing interest in the arts at a very early age. As a child she  demonstrated multiple skills in music, poetry, theater, drawing and  languages. &lt;br /&gt;Lilya’s musical abilities developed very quickly. At the age of six  Lilya insisted on joining her elder sister in piano classes. Lilya was  one of the very active pupils at school. She was always selected to  participate in school concerts and choir performances.  &lt;br /&gt;Lilya began writing music almost as soon as she could read it. At  the age of 13 she has already written more than 30 songs, both in  Armenian and English. That same year she finished public school and  entered Yerevan State Musical College after Romanos Melikyan. During  these years of study Lilya combined her piano classes and concerts with  her real passion: singing.  &lt;br /&gt;Durign the years of economic crisis in Armenia her family’s needs  necessitated her taking work as a linguist (her other specialty).  &lt;br /&gt;But those years of performance hiatus were not wasted. She continued  writing new songs and improving her voice. Finally, after six years of  helping to support her family, Lilya managed to record her first song.  Her appearance at the recording studio opened new doors for  collaboration. Lilya met a brilliant musician, composer and a pianist  Vardan Sardaryan known as V-Sard, who had a great influence on her  musical outlook. Soon, Lilya appeared with her new stage name: Lilya  Barak. She had performed in both live and televised concerts, recorded  her first album and several music videos to showcase her songs. The  video based on the song “Wandering in Foreign Lands” was voted third  overall in popularity in Armenia in 2007. The song has also been played  on almost all Armenian radio stations. In 2008 the song "Temptation" was  included in "Armenian Hits" Collection.  Lilya was interviewed on music  TV shows, such as "Rubikon", "Accord", "Bari Luys", "Qneluts Arach", to  name a few. In addition, the singer has been interviewed for popular  Armenian magazines, such as "Hars", "Menq" etc. Lilya Barak has also  participated in local and international singing and songwriting  contests. She was one of Top 20 finalists as a performer in 12th Annual  Unisong International Songwriting Contest.  &lt;br /&gt;In summer of 2009 Lilya attended classes at Berklee College of Music  in Boston, where she studied and performed in almost all the genres of  music: starting from classical to jazz, rock, country and reggae.  Currently Lilya Barak lives in the United States. She continues writing  and recording her songs as well as negotiating with different U.S.  record labels to release her first album "Eros". &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Recent updates:  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In November 2009 Lilya was selected one of top 5 vocalists in "Best  Vocalist of the Month" Competition, SingerUniverse Online Magazine,  headed by veteran music publisher/A&amp;amp;R exec Dale Kawashima, with the  Advisory Board consisting of five top industry pros: eight-time Grammy  winner Chaka Khan; writer/producer Walter Afanasieff, Billy Mann (Senior  A&amp;amp;R Executive for EMI/Capitol Records); Jay Landers (Senior Vice  President of Columbia Records); and Lis Lewis (top vocal coach).&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #f1c232;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #f1c232;"&gt;Video: Otar amayi champeqi vra' (Wandering in foreign lands).

The inside courtyard teemed with people watching a large flat-screen monitor documenting the assembled celebrity chorus; inside the studio a disembodied voice declared, "We're not finished; we still have to do the harmony."&lt;br /&gt;Noted perfectionist &lt;span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1265414585_2"&gt;Barbra Streisand&lt;/span&gt; stood in a separate studio running through numerous takes of the verse that begins, "There's a choice we're making." &lt;span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1265414585_3" style="-moz-background-clip: border; -moz-background-inline-policy: continuous; -moz-background-origin: padding; background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 0%; cursor: pointer;"&gt;Quincy Jones&lt;/span&gt; and &lt;span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1265414585_4" style="border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(0, 102, 204); cursor: pointer;"&gt;Lionel Richie&lt;/span&gt; led a &lt;span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1265414585_5"&gt;Greek chorus&lt;/span&gt; of rappers through its paces.&lt;br /&gt;These are just a few of the sights glimpsed during the 25th-anniversary recording of "&lt;span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1265414585_6" style="-moz-background-clip: border; -moz-background-inline-policy: continuous; -moz-background-origin: padding; background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 0%; cursor: pointer;"&gt;We Are the World&lt;/span&gt;" &lt;span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1265414585_7"&gt;February 1&lt;/span&gt; at the Henson Recording Studios in Hollywood -- or what &lt;span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1265414585_8"&gt;executive producer&lt;/span&gt; Jones laughingly describes as "running through hell with gasoline underwear."&lt;br /&gt;A diverse lineup of more than 75 stars -- ranging from Streisand to &lt;span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1265414585_9" style="-moz-background-clip: border; -moz-background-inline-policy: continuous; -moz-background-origin: padding; background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 0%; cursor: pointer;"&gt;Lil Wayne&lt;/span&gt; -- gathered between 4 p.m. and 1:30 a.m. on behalf of Haitian earthquake relief efforts.&lt;br /&gt;Both the song and 3-D video for &lt;b&gt;"We Are the World -- 25 for &lt;span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1265414585_10"&gt;Haiti&lt;/span&gt;" will world-premiere February 12 during NBC's coverage of the Vancouver Winter Olympics' opening ceremony.&lt;/b&gt; Proceeds from the song and its accompanying video -- directed by award-winning filmmaker &lt;span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1265414585_11"&gt;Paul Haggis&lt;/span&gt; -- will go directly to Haitian relief efforts through the We Are the World Foundation, a newly created nonprofit organization comprising board members Jones, Richie, Haggis, &lt;span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1265414585_12"&gt;Wyclef Jean&lt;/span&gt;, AEG Live president/CEO Randy Phillips and Ambassador Louis Moreno of the &lt;span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1265414585_13"&gt;Inter-American Development Bank&lt;/span&gt;. Visa is underwriting the project.&lt;br /&gt;Featuring an updated track by recent &lt;span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1265414585_14"&gt;Grammy Award&lt;/span&gt;-winning producer &lt;span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1265414585_15"&gt;RedOne&lt;/span&gt; and all new singers, the modernized "World" has some big shoes to fill. Recorded in the same studio, the 1985 version written by Richie and &lt;span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1265414585_16" style="border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(0, 102, 204); cursor: pointer;"&gt;Michael Jackson&lt;/span&gt; boasted heavyweights like &lt;span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1265414585_17"&gt;Ray Charles&lt;/span&gt;, &lt;span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1265414585_18"&gt;Cyndi Lauper&lt;/span&gt;, &lt;span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1265414585_19"&gt;Paul Simon&lt;/span&gt;, &lt;span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1265414585_20"&gt;Bob Dylan&lt;/span&gt; and &lt;span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1265414585_21"&gt;Diana Ross&lt;/span&gt;. The song reached No. 1 on the pop and R&amp;amp;B charts and raised more than $30 million for the hunger relief organization &lt;span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1265414585_22" style="border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(0, 102, 204); cursor: pointer;"&gt;USA for Africa&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;Some have been quick to note the absence of pop stars like Lady Gaga, &lt;span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1265414585_23"&gt;Taylor Swift&lt;/span&gt; and &lt;span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1265414585_24"&gt;Beyonce&lt;/span&gt; on the new recording, pointing out that despite the presence of Streisand, &lt;span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1265414585_25"&gt;Celine Dion&lt;/span&gt;, &lt;span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1265414585_26"&gt;Kanye West&lt;/span&gt;, &lt;span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1265414585_27"&gt;Miley Cyrus&lt;/span&gt;, &lt;span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1265414585_28"&gt;Jonas Brothers&lt;/span&gt; and teen newcomer &lt;span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1265414585_29"&gt;Justin Bieber&lt;/span&gt;, "25 for Haiti" has a lower star quotient than the original. Organizer Phillips says that some artists "were not available or turned down the opportunity because they thought the original was iconic and shouldn't be done again. Even on the first one, there were a lot of stars who declined."&lt;br /&gt;Jean, executive-producing along with Jones and Richie, says, "There's always artists you wish were here. But there's Pink, Will.i.am . . . we're grateful because so many artists showed up. The room is definitely packed with stars."&lt;br /&gt;Richie notes that comparing and contrasting the two versions is beside the point, and that it's about a new generation and not doing the same thing again. "You want to jump in, but you realize you need to pass the torch," he says.&lt;br /&gt;This is evident in the addition of a major hip-hop contingent for whom Richie wrote a part and Will.i.am created the underlying rap. Joining Drake, &lt;span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1265414585_30" style="-moz-background-clip: border; -moz-background-inline-policy: continuous; -moz-background-origin: padding; background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 0%; border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(0, 102, 204); cursor: pointer;"&gt;Snoop Dogg&lt;/span&gt; and Kid &lt;span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1265414585_31"&gt;Cudi&lt;/span&gt; on the song, rap newcomer Iyaz says, "With hip-hop speaking to a lot of the younger generation, it's important to contribute our voices."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://imahollywoodstar.com/"&gt;http://imahollywoodstar.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-small;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-small;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;source yahoo music&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-small;"&gt;(please visit&amp;nbsp; entertainment blog via &lt;a href="http://us.rd.yahoo.com/dailynews/nm/music_nm/storytext/us_world/35008672/SIG=10opd7i95/*http://www.reuters.com"&gt;&lt;span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1265414585_32"&gt;www.reuters.com&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; or on http://blogs.reuters.com/fanfare/)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1255730766780089798-610200242417175193?l=hollywoodstarstc.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://hollywoodstarstc.blogspot.com/feeds/610200242417175193/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1255730766780089798&amp;postID=610200242417175193' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1255730766780089798/posts/default/610200242417175193'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1255730766780089798/posts/default/610200242417175193'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://hollywoodstarstc.blogspot.com/2010/02/we-are-world-gets-update-for-haiti.html' title='&quot;We Are the World&quot; gets update for Haiti'/><author><name>solostudios</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16278092592869980824</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_IToIEJ7dh6k/SQvMOKM0-LI/AAAAAAAAACA/f6PFWKmmngs/S220/Joe+Solo.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_IToIEJ7dh6k/S3H7tGTjCJI/AAAAAAAAAGY/soYHsVcPHqI/s72-c/wawld.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1255730766780089798.post-3792750675000858398</id><published>2010-02-05T00:29:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-02-05T10:22:34.207-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Stars remake "We Are The World" for Haiti</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://d.yimg.com/a/p/ap/20100202/capt.04d3d88adfe24d058685c3ed1a81d3c3.music_we_are_the_world__ny114.jpg?x=400&amp;amp;y=258&amp;amp;q=85&amp;amp;sig=s1FNX.kEVzS.rdchNgr7fw--" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="206" src="http://d.yimg.com/a/p/ap/20100202/capt.04d3d88adfe24d058685c3ed1a81d3c3.music_we_are_the_world__ny114.jpg?x=400&amp;amp;y=258&amp;amp;q=85&amp;amp;sig=s1FNX.kEVzS.rdchNgr7fw--" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;LOS ANGELES (Reuters) – Star-struck singers, rappers and actors, including Barbra Streisand, Kanye West and Miley Cyrus, checked their egos at the door on Monday to record a new version of "We Are The World" for Haiti earthquake victims, 25 years after the song raised awareness of the famine in Africa.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;None of the singers of the original song were invited to participate in the update, which was recorded at the same Hollywood studio once again under the oversight of Quincy Jones and the song's co-writer Lionel Richie.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In all, more than 70 stars lent their voices to the song, and they all seemed in awe of each other.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"As celebrities, we're fans of one another, so we're all looky-looing in there, and getting autographs and numbers," said Natalie Cole.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Streisand, Celine Dion and Tony Bennett appeared to inspire the most stares. Fifteen-year-old Canadian heartthrob Justin Bieber, who sang the opening line originally performed by Richie, joked that he would ask his new friend, R&amp;amp;B singer Akon, to get the telephone number of Nicole Scherzinger of the Pussycat Dolls.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Streisand, a noted perfectionist, ran through multiple takes of the line originally sung by Diana Ross, each one seemingly better than the previous one. Jazz singer Patti Austin came into her recording booth to coach her.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Guitar virtuoso Carlos Santana sang along, even though he is not a singer. Two members of the Beach Boys, Brian Wilson and Al Jardine, appeared to ignore each other.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;'INSPIRED CHAOS'&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Classical crossover tenor Josh Groban described the event as "inspired chaos."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Everybody left their ego at the door," he said, referring to a sign that Jones hung in the studio during the original session on the old A&amp;amp;M Records lot on January 28, 1985.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"To be smack-dab in the middle of a sandwich between Barbra Streisand and Weezy (rapper Lil Wayne) was personally a creative experience I don't think I'll ever have the pleasure of having again," Groban added.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For his part, Lil Wayne said his mother asked him to get a photo of Gladys Knight.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He was among a heavy quotient of hip-hop stars, including Snoop Dogg, Lil Wayne, Drake, LL Cool J, and will.i.am of the Black Eyed Peas as well as West.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Hip-hop is rock 'n' roll to a lot of people around the world, right now," said Jones, explaining the absence of the modern-day equivalents of original performers Bruce Springsteen, Bob Dylan or Paul Simon.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lil Wayne, for one, said he was not a singer, and thought organizers were joking when they asked him to perform the line originally sung by Dylan. Asked if he did a better job, Lil Wayne said, "Hell no!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But the rapper added a note of discontent: "It's amazing what's being done for Haiti, but it's amazing what hasn't been done for New Orleans" (after Hurricane Katrina in 2005).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A few of the original lyrics, which Richie wrote with Michael Jackson, have been updated, and will.i.am contributed some raps. Jackson's sister Janet Jackson, who was not present at the session, was scheduled to sing his lines from a studio in Atlanta on Tuesday.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Country and Latino artists were notably under-represented. Organizers said they were turned down for various reasons by some stars. In fact, most of the big Grammy winners from the night before were absent, including Beyonce and Jay-Z, who returned to New York, and Taylor Swift, who flew to Australia straight after the ceremony.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Randy Phillips, one of the organizers, said his "one regret" was the absence of dance-pop star Lady Gaga.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The song, which was still being worked on into the small hours of Tuesday, will make its world premiere during NBC's coverage of the Vancouver Winter Olympics on February 12.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Both the song and an accompanying video, shot by Oscar-winning "Crash" director Paul Haggis, will go on sale both through traditional and online retailers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Phillips said all proceeds will go to a newly established foundation that will carefully monitor disbursement.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The January 12 earthquake killed up to 200,000 people in Haiti and devastated the already impoverished nation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1264995884_44"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-small;"&gt;source yahoo music news &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1255730766780089798-3792750675000858398?l=hollywoodstarstc.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://hollywoodstarstc.blogspot.com/feeds/3792750675000858398/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1255730766780089798&amp;postID=3792750675000858398' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1255730766780089798/posts/default/3792750675000858398'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1255730766780089798/posts/default/3792750675000858398'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://hollywoodstarstc.blogspot.com/2010/02/stars-remake-we-are-world-for-haiti.html' title='Stars remake &quot;We Are The World&quot;

She is the first to reach that mark twice.&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-small;"&gt;&lt;cite class="caption"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/cite&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-small;"&gt;&lt;cite class="caption"&gt;AP&amp;nbsp;–&amp;nbsp;Beyonce arrives at the Grammy Awards on&amp;nbsp;&lt;/cite&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-small;"&gt;&lt;cite class="caption"&gt;Sunday, Jan. 31, 2010, in Los Angeles.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/cite&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-small;"&gt;&lt;cite class="caption"&gt;(AP Photo/Chris Pizzello)&amp;nbsp;&lt;/cite&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She won the songwriting trophy along with three writers for her omnipresent anthem "Single Ladies (Put a Ring On It)." The superstar also won best R&amp;amp;B contemporary album for "I Am ... Sasha Fierce" among her other awards, and still had the opportunity to win the evening's remaining top award — album of the year.&lt;br /&gt;Beyonce wasn't on hand to accept her early trophies: She was preparing for her dramatic onstage rendition of "If I Were A Boy," one of several hits from her top-selling third CD.&lt;br /&gt;Lady Gaga delivered the early show-stopper with an eye-popping performance with &lt;span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1264995884_16" style="border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(0, 102, 204); cursor: pointer;"&gt;Elton John&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;Lady Gaga, who won two Grammys during the pre-telecast ceremony, kicked off the night with a sequined green leotard with massive shoulders as she sang her Grammy-nominated hit "Poker Face" amid an elaborate stage that included dramatic choreography and pyrotechnics.&lt;br /&gt;Moments later, she scaled things down a bit — as much as Lady Gaga can — and brought out Elton John as they melded her song "&lt;span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1264995884_17"&gt;Speechless&lt;/span&gt;" and his classic "Your Song" together in a performance that featured &lt;span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1264995884_18"&gt;dueling pianos&lt;/span&gt;, and glitter-painted faces.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1264995884_19"&gt;Taylor Swift&lt;/span&gt;, who was second to Beyonce in Grammy nominations with eight nods, won three early awards, including best country album. Though the 20-year-old has won just about every award imaginable over the past year for her best-selling CD "Fearless," she was wide-eyed when she accepted her trophy for country album.&lt;br /&gt;"I just keep thinking back to when you're in second grade and you sing in the talent show for the first time and people joke around and say, 'Maybe we'll see you at the Grammys some day.' But that just seems like an impossible dream," she said. "I just feel like I'm standing here accepting an impossible dream."&lt;br /&gt;Later, she also collaborated with a rock legend: &lt;span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1264995884_20"&gt;Stevie Nicks&lt;/span&gt; joined her on stage as they both sang Nicks' "Rhiannon" and Swift's "You Belong With Me."&lt;br /&gt;The Grammy for best new artist went to the &lt;span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1264995884_21"&gt;Zac Brown Band&lt;/span&gt;, while best rock album went to &lt;span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1264995884_22"&gt;Green Day&lt;/span&gt; for "21st Century Breakdown."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1264995884_23"&gt;The Black Eyed Peas&lt;/span&gt; also had three trophies, as well as &lt;span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1264995884_24"&gt;Jay-Z&lt;/span&gt;, who won for best rap solo performance and two awards for "Run This Town" with Rihanna and &lt;span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1264995884_25"&gt;Kanye West&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1264995884_26"&gt;Rihanna&lt;/span&gt; — who was forced to bow out of last year's awards as a performer after being assualted by then-boyfriend &lt;span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1264995884_27"&gt;Chris Brown&lt;/span&gt;, accepted the trophy along with Jay-Z with Beyonce's young nephew in tow. West — who has been keeping a relatively low profile since his dustup with Swift a few months back — was a notable no show.&lt;br /&gt;Maxwell, up for six awards, also won his first Grammys — best R&amp;amp;B male vocal for the ballad "Pretty Wings" and best R&amp;amp;B album for "BLACKsummers' night." The album marked the R&amp;amp;B crooner's return after an absence of eight years from the music business.&lt;br /&gt;While &lt;span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1264995884_28"&gt;Beyonce&lt;/span&gt; has won a caseload of Grammys during her career, she hasn't won album of the year, but that had the potential to change Sunday. The superstar was nominated for album of the year for "I Am ... Sasha Fierce," along Swift's "Fearless," the most popular album of any genre last year. &lt;br /&gt;Rounding out the album of the year category were the &lt;span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1264995884_29"&gt;Black Eyed Peas&lt;/span&gt;' "The E.N.D.," Lady Gaga's "The Fame" and the &lt;span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1264995884_30"&gt;Dave Matthews Band&lt;/span&gt;'s "&lt;span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1264995884_31" style="-moz-background-clip: border; -moz-background-inline-policy: continuous; -moz-background-origin: padding; background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 0%; border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(0, 102, 204); cursor: pointer;"&gt;Big Whiskey and the Groogrux King&lt;/span&gt;." The latter album was the band's first release since the death of founding member and saxophonist &lt;span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1264995884_32"&gt;LeRoi Moore&lt;/span&gt;. &lt;br /&gt;Many participants in the program wore red cross buttons in support of Haiti earthquake relief. &lt;span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1264995884_33"&gt;Mary J. Blige&lt;/span&gt; joined &lt;span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1264995884_34"&gt;Andrea Bocelli&lt;/span&gt; in a rousing rendition of "&lt;span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1264995884_35"&gt;Bridge Over Troubled Water&lt;/span&gt;," which was not only designed to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the song's big Grammy wins, but to raise money for the people in Haiti. The performance will be available via &lt;a href="http://us.rd.yahoo.com/dailynews/ap/ap_on_en_mu/storytext/us_grammys/34947508/SIG=10rikc3tb/*http://iTunes.com/target,"&gt;&lt;span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1264995884_36"&gt;iTunes.com/target,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; with the funds going to earthquake relief. &lt;br /&gt;The show also included a special 3-D &lt;span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1264995884_37" style="border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(0, 102, 204); cursor: pointer;"&gt;tribute to Michael Jackson&lt;/span&gt; featuring a video clip he made of "&lt;span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1264995884_38"&gt;Earth Song&lt;/span&gt;" as &lt;span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1264995884_39"&gt;Usher&lt;/span&gt;, &lt;span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1264995884_40" style="border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(0, 102, 204); cursor: pointer;"&gt;Carrie Underwood&lt;/span&gt;, &lt;span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1264995884_41"&gt;Celine Dion&lt;/span&gt;, &lt;span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1264995884_42" style="-moz-background-clip: border; -moz-background-inline-policy: continuous; -moz-background-origin: padding; background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 0%; cursor: pointer;"&gt;Jennifer Hudson&lt;/span&gt; and &lt;span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1264995884_43"&gt;Smokey Robinson&lt;/span&gt; sang along. &lt;br /&gt;Jackson's young children, Prince and Paris, accepted a lifetime achievement award for their late father. &lt;br /&gt;"Through all his songs his message was simple, love. We will continue to spread his message and help the world," Prince said. &lt;br /&gt;___ &lt;br /&gt;On the Net: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://us.rd.yahoo.com/dailynews/ap/ap_on_en_mu/storytext/us_grammys/34947508/SIG=10ol39abe/*http://www.grammys.com"&gt;&lt;span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1264995884_44"&gt;http://www.grammys.com&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width="560" height="340"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/crdAXQg-omI&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;rel=0"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/crdAXQg-omI&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="560" height="340"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1264995884_44"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-small;"&gt;source yahoo music news&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-small;"&gt;&lt;cite class="caption"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/cite&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1255730766780089798-9124616523399328910?l=hollywoodstarstc.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://hollywoodstarstc.blogspot.com/feeds/9124616523399328910/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1255730766780089798&amp;postID=9124616523399328910' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1255730766780089798/posts/default/9124616523399328910'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1255730766780089798/posts/default/9124616523399328910'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://hollywoodstarstc.blogspot.com/2010/01/beyonce-takes-5-grammys-kings-of-leon.html' title='Beyonce takes 6 Grammys;

Now she represents Great Britain with grace and Great Energy.  She was introduced to music at an early age (her Grandfather was a brilliant musician) and when the young Alexa showed a particular flair for music, her parents encouraged her to enrol for music school (later she graduated Lithuanian Music Academy in choral conducting). At the age of 15, Alexa met a touring Jazz band which were impressed with Alexa and asked her to join them as their singer. She took the job – her first step in her professional career. With Alexa fronting the band, the group grew in popularity – holding the number 1 Spot in Lithuania for two and a half months!

She is married to a wonderful man she met three years ago.&amp;nbsp; A very big part of her life started when she was seven months old and diagnosed with a cancer called ganglioneuroblastoma/ a malignant tumor. This type of cancer has a ninety-eight percent fatality rate. When they removed the tumor they pulled on her sympathetic nerve, which controls the left side of the body. When that happened it changed her left eye color from brown to green and stopped her sweat glands from performing so she could not sweat on her left side. They left two percent in her shoulder and had to remove a rib to get to all of the tumor. A month later x-rays were taken and not only was the two percent in her shoulder gone but the rib grew back. The oncologist said, “ bones don’t just grow back, I think there’s something biblical about this”. her mom replied, “ya, we call it a miracle”!&lt;br /&gt;Jazmyn says -"I know God kept me alive for a reason and I believe that reason is to sing!" "Even if I only touch one person out of a million, at least that one person has been touched. My mom said I sang my first song before I said my first word and I believe This is what I was born for!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width="480" height="385"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/FWdGarF6WX8&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;rel=0"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/FWdGarF6WX8&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1255730766780089798-8952530180001241472?l=hollywoodstarstc.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://hollywoodstarstc.blogspot.com/feeds/8952530180001241472/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1255730766780089798&amp;postID=8952530180001241472' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1255730766780089798/posts/default/8952530180001241472'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1255730766780089798/posts/default/8952530180001241472'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://hollywoodstarstc.blogspot.com/2010/01/new-jazz-artist.html' title='NEW JAZZ ARTIST'/><author><name>solostudios</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16278092592869980824</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_IToIEJ7dh6k/SQvMOKM0-LI/AAAAAAAAACA/f6PFWKmmngs/S220/Joe+Solo.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1255730766780089798.post-344829466105514960</id><published>2009-12-28T23:56:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-01-13T22:05:09.098-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Your Music is on the AIR!</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_IToIEJ7dh6k/SzmyR200VJI/AAAAAAAAAFk/YsWk6snzKiY/s1600-h/radio-promo.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_IToIEJ7dh6k/SzmyR200VJI/AAAAAAAAAFk/YsWk6snzKiY/s400/radio-promo.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Everyone can audition to compete in the Hollywood Stars Talent Competition.
