Justin Bieber diagnosed with rare disorder

Image
Justin Bieber has been diagnosed with a rare disorder which has paralysed half his face. The 28-year-old singer revealed the news to his fans in an emotional video posted to Instagram. “I wanted to update you guys on what’s been going on. Obviously, as you can probably see from my face, I have this syndrome called Ramsay Hunt syndrome and it is from this virus that attacks the nerves in my ear and my facial nerves and has cased my face to have paralysis,” he explained. Ramsay Hunt syndrome is marked by a painful rash around the ear, on the face or on the mouth. It manifests when the varicella-zoster virus infects a nerve in the head, sometimes causing paralysis. “As you can see, this eye is not blinking. I can’t smile on this side of my face. This nostril will not move, so there’s full paralysis on this side of my face. So for those who are frustrated by my cancellation of the next shows, I’m just physically not capable of doing them. This is pretty serious as you can see. I wish this ...

Introducing Justin Wack

Image
One night I was browsing YouTube and came across an amazing song by a singer I had never heard of before. The song is called Can't Beat Love  and it is by Justin Wack. I had to know who this guy is so I did some research and what I found is incredible! Today, I am introducing Justin Wack to you and sharing a few facts about him.  Justin is a 20-year-old artist, song writer and producer from Canada.  He was born completely blind. He started music lessons when he was a toddler and he learned he has perfect pitch, which is a rare ability to identify or re-create a given musical note without a reference tone.  Justin decided to make a career out of music in 2017. Makes his own beats, writes songs and sings and composes all the music on his laptop. In addition to music, Justin is into sports.  He has done rock climbing and judo and played ice hockey. He has competed internationally in Judo, in America and Germany, and won bronze and silver medals at competitions....

Virtual Carpet Fashion

The MTV Video music video awards were just held in New York. This year, the ceremony was different because of the pandemic. It was hosted by actress and television personality Keke Palmer and conducted in an outdoor format across the city.  My favorite part of any awards show is the red carpet and even though this time it was done virtually, with the presenters and performers photographing and sharing their looks before the actual show, I was still keen to see the amazing outfits. Here, I am sharing a few of my favorites from the night.  Sofia Carson - I like the dress, red suits Sofia and the pulled back hair do s really nice. She looks elegant.

Auditions Gone Wrong

Image
Every year thousands of people hoping for a career in the entertainment industry audition for talent shows such as American Idol, Got Talent and The Voice. Many of the winners and past contestants from these shows have actually been successful and are known in their home countries and even all over the world but there are some past contestants who are known for their auditions going wrong. In this post, I am sharing some auditions which featured some rude and funny people and did not go according to plan. I'm also sharing some videos where contestants were eventually successful after a rocky start. Triple Trouble - Gemma, George and Maria auditioned for The X Factor UK saying that they wanted to spread the message that not all teenagers are violent, do drugs or behave badly which is a great message but their performace singing Umbrella by Rihanna was terrible and George spoke horribly to Simon, told the audience to "shut up" and threw his microphone down.  ht...

Hello and welcome back to the blog. In this post, I will be sharing some YouTube channels and videos I've been enjoying watching lately. 1. What Would You Do is an American television show in which actors depict scenes of conflict and illegal activity which happen in everyday life and the focus is on whether bystanders will intervene. It is all recorded on hidden cameras. The show is hosted by news correspondent John Quinones and airs on ABC in America. Scenes can be watched on their YouTube channel. https://www.youtube.com/c/WhatWouldYouDo/videos 2. I found a song called Can't Beat Love uploaded on YouTube by a guy named Justin Wack. I don't know anything about him as there is no information in the 'about' section but the five songs on the channel are amazing and his voice is great! This is is latest song.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vrVt7uZ0aik 3. One of my favorite YouTubers is Rachel-Lea. She makes home organization, lifestyle, self-c...
