3 Divas

3 Divas

The TV Guide

I ended up spending most of my Monday here at home, mainly taking care of a few things, so I used some of my free time to spin a few records. Back in the late 80s, I was the BIGGEST Paula Abdul fan. At the time, she was my #1 ? over Madonna and Janet Jackson. Over time, I?ve really come to appreciate all 3 pop divas so last night I decided to play some of their records.

In her hey day, Paula Abdul was my Britney Spears. When her sophomore album Spellbound was released, I fell crazy in love with it. The album is so funky, so fun ? and I played the HELL out of Rush Rush ? especially on my band trip down to Disney World (where my marching band played a performance in the Main St. Parade). The cassette single came out weeks before the album did so I played it non-stop the whole drive down from Michigan and back. True Blue may not be my all-time fave Madonna album but it?s deffo one of her funnest. When the album was released, I owned the cassette tape version ? but recently was very lucky to find a sealed version of the vinyl. Inside the first pressings of the vinyl version of True Blue, a poster was included ? which is just so awesome because new music releases these days don?t have this kind of fun and whimsy. Control is prolly my favorite Janet Jackson album overall. There is no denying that Rhythm Nation 1814 is her masterpiece but Control was the album that really made Janet a star musically. Nasty, What Have You Done For Me Lately, Pleasure Principal and When I Think Of You are not only some of my fave JJ songs but they are among her most iconic. In the late 80s/early 90s, Paula, Madonna and Janet ruled the world. It was nice to revisit their music again ;)

Tonight, David and I will be going to the Troubadour to see Oh Land perform live:

I have quickly fallen in LOVE with Oh Land?s music and I am really, really excited to see her live tonight. I?ll do my best to snap photos and bring back a full report. Wee!!
