FRIDAY NIGHT VIDEOS

2007-09-14T12:37:00.000-04:00

Hello everybody. This is a new segment called "Friday Night Videos" on MMC. I changed the "Wednesday" to "Friday" because I want a better timeframe to write to my viewers instead of rushing because I can't have a clear train of thought that way. Motown Music Crib is dedicated to bring you videos, by audio, music video, tv shows, bloopers, whatever! It's all TV! MMC and myself, your editor Joshua, are proud to be a part of Detroit. Detroit runs through my blood (well Jesus runs through my blood too--you know what I mean). Special thanks go out to Absolute Michigan and other blogs for including me in their blogroll. Now, this is a video clip from America's Funniest Videos. This is about a 7-year-old gospel singer. I don't know if he's joking while he's singing, but it's pretty funny. Take a look at it; I'll put some more videos here, music videos and such.

REAL MUSIC TO MY EARS...

2007-09-09T00:51:00.000-04:00

I've been doing stuff all week. I wanna listen to some music. So I get dressed and get down to church. Thumping music enough to make you dance and shout and give praise to the living God. High-strung choir. Spirit-penetrating pastor. Flocks of people feeling the same way I feel about my loving God. You should try it sometimes. MUSIC TO MY EARS...

Wednesday Night Videos on MMC, Vol. 1

2007-09-05T23:41:00.000-04:00

WELCOME TO "WEDNESDAY NIGHT VIDEOS ON MMC!!!" I take the time out of my "thick" schedule to post weekly Wednesday night videos. I gather very interesting videos from different websites, bringing them in the "house" so that you can "eat." Are you following me so far? Okay...now, I got this video from the front page of Myspace.com. This is a home video of three marines, army boys, soldiers, whatever you call 'em, dancing along to the popular song heard on Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, "Jump On It!" For those of you that are in different countries and do not know what that song is or even what "Fresh Prince" is, allow me to tell you. Fresh Prince of Bel-Air was a popular black TV show in the '90s, which had a successful run due to funny characters such as the main character, Will Smith. You've got to see this video, everyone. jump on it Add to My Profile More Videos

A Celebration of Motown Music and Other Classics...

2007-09-01T08:00:00.003-04:00

It's here! Wake up everybody, wipe the drool from your face and clean up because you're in the "crib" now. This is the official opening of Motown Music Crib. I'm indeed ecstatic about this because I've been praying and asking for direction on how I can blend Gospel and R&B music onto one site. It's kinda hard to do because it may be frowned upon that Gospel has to be in a class by itself and cannot be mixed with secular music. Well...I'm known (at least to myself) for breaking boundaries.

Who says that Gospel is confined? Nowadays, Gospel is made to sound more secular, beats and all. Why? The world is looking for that "comparison." They are looking for something to stick to them. Christians are looking to explore secular beats and lyrics while staying with the margins of praise and worship to God. That's what I bring forward to MMC.

For R&B lovers, you can find Gospel being just the same tunes and beats as what you regularly listen to. Gospel can be giving reverence to God, the Saviour and author of salvation. So mixing the two will get the best of both worlds, making the music industry just a bit smaller and more "intimate." After all, there's peace and smooth ambience in the house. In what house?? Hmmm... it's none other than Motown Music Crib. This post contains a collaboration of years of Detroit/ Motown music, both Gospel and R&B, as well as some newcomers outside of Detroit. Whether in Detroit or overseas, you're always welcome in the "crib."

A video from Myspace/My news...

2007-08-29T12:52:00.000-04:00

Hello everyone, Motown Music Crib will open officially on Labor Day weekend. I told you this before, but now, you just got to get ready! There will not be many blogs that will do what I will do in the upcoming days. I'm all about competition and uniqueness; I like to stand out. I'm not worrying about trying to attract the largest audience or try to be "on both sides" to win both sides of the crowd. What I'm focusing on is getting my points across and retaining viewer time. I don't like to see people visiting just for seconds, that means that the message wasn't really that appealing. I'm impressed with people I've personally talked to and people that have visited my blogs, they have "stayed" because there were interesting items to look at. I will be building more and more as time allows; you'll see (God's so great). I'm currently posting music video pilots to make sure that everything is all set. I'm only posting Gospel and R&B music videos, its lyrics, as well as memorable television shows and movies. I've got a snippet below from Sister Act 2 with Whoopi Goldberg having the choir sing "Oh Happy Day!" That song still makes my heart sing. Oh, Happy Day! Add to My Profile More Videos m....h

MARY J. BLIGE ("Be Without You"-A Classic Love Song)

2007-07-30T22:43:00.000-04:00

This is a test of Mary J. Blige's "Be Without You." This song won several awards and was a first kind of song for Blige singing about true, endearing love...in fact, yearning for it. This song fits into the R&B category and sends a message of positivity to couples much in love.

This site is completely "under construction" until Sep. 2007. This is just a test because I am making sure that everything is entirely set up for my visitors. I am a perfectionist. God is great and within me. I can do this. I have Gospel and R&B multimedia. I've got people from Kirk Franklin to Kurt Carr, from India.Arie to Mary J. Blige. Just you wait...
