    Susan Boyle's Dream

    by Dada VJ (04/21/2009 - 18:50)

    Whose YouTube video has gotten more hits than President Obama's inaugural address? Frumpy, 47-year-old unemployed charity worker Susan Boyle's attempt at stardom in England.

    As everyone knows by now, Susan Boyle was an unlikely contestant on the U.K. TV show Britain's Got Talent (similar to American Idol and also featuring Simon Cowell). Though the judges rolled their eyes at her when she took the stage, they were astonished at her amazing voice when she sang "I Dreamed A Dream" from Les Miserables.

    20 million YouTube hits later and she's a global star and a favorite to win the prize. Boyle has also re-popularized the Les Miz soundtrack - the original cast recording of "I Dreamed A Dream" entered the U.K. singles chart this week and is available right here on Dada.net!

    Remembering Kurt Cobain

    by Dada VJ (04/08/2009 - 19:21)

    Hard to believe it's been 15 years since Kurt Cobain was found dead from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Millions of fans around the world grieved the Nirvana frontman - the father of grunge music and Generation X's spokesman (all labels he hated) - when his body was discovered in Seattle on April 8, 1994.

    When Nirvana burst onto the scene in the late 1980s/early 1990s, a shift in music was instantly born. The cheesy pop and hip-hop groups (think Milli Vanilli) and heavy metal hair bands had long ruled what was becoming a tired and uninspired music scene. Nirvana (Cobain along with Krist Novoselic and Dave Grohl) was something we had never heard before. They were the first band out of Seattle's growing grunge rock scene to make a big impact on the national scene.

    After their debut album, 1989's Bleach, became an underground hit, Nirvana signed with a major record company. 1991's Nevermind went on to sell more than 10 million copies with the single "Smells Like Teen Spirit" becoming an anthem for Generation X. Nirvana was suddenly the biggest band in the world and Cobain was the king. However, he was never comfortable with commercial success and global fame and, also suffering from a heroin addiction that he repeatedly tried to kick without success, decided to end his life by committing suicide on April 5, 1994. His body was found in Seattle three days later.

    A true musical genius. Very rare. RIP Kurt.
