My Thoughts on "Don't Matter to Me" Drake's New Song Featuring Michael Jackson

Let me start off by saying I used to be a HUGE Drake fan. While I still do enjoy his music on occasion I'm not that big of a fan of his anymore, HOWEVER, I was, am and will forever be a fan of Michael Jackson.

I am writing this as I listen to the song ("Don't Matter to Me" by Drake) for the first time so if things go from past tense to present tense or whatever, that's why. You can listen to the song here on Spotify and I'll include the YouTube link below.

I love when Drake sings. Throwback to eleven-year-old me being a thirsty bihhh for him.

Okay, I wanted to listen to the song all the way through first before I started writing my reaction but I have to say not a big fan of Michael's vocals in this. Can't put my finger on what I don't like about it just yet, but I'll keep listening. PAUSE AGAIN! I don't know if they put any effects on Michael's voice. It sounds that way to me, but what do I know about producing music?

Also gotta say this because I bet we were all wondering: MICHAEL'S BEEN DEAD FOR NINE YEARS WHY DID IT TAKE YOU SO LONG FOR THIS SONG TO COME OUT COME ON DRAKE

I started snapping along with the song. That's a good sign.

Michael's vocals are starting to grow on me. I don't dislike them the second time around as much as I did the first time.

Okay, I listened to it in its entirety for the first time and I don't hate it. I would label it a bop. I don't think it's a song I would have on my phone to listen to any time, but I wouldn't mind adding it to a playlist (I'm making Spotify playlists now check them out on my music Tumblr blog).

On the second listen through - I have it on repeat on Spotify - I find myself singing along with Michael's vocals. So maybe the more I listen to it the more I like it?

I think they could have done a better job with Michael's vocals. They still sound weird, but I don't hate it.

Overall I rate it an 8.5/10 bop. The more I listen to it, the more I like it.

I am intrigued to listen to Drake's whole album now. Maybe I will.

That Time A President Conducted Meetings from the Toilet

Happy Monday! Another week ahead. This week's weird moment from history is how President Lyndon B. Johnson conducted meetings and interviews while on the toilet. I learned way too much about LBJ while doing research for this post and it is going to be a LONG time before I write another weird history post about him. But there will be at least another one in the future. Man was weird. Quick history lesson for my non-Americans who may not know who LBJ is. Lyndon Baines Johnson was the 36th President of the United States. He assumed the position following the assassination of John F. Kennedy. He was president from 1963 til 1969. NOW if you're like me and you grew up with the rewatching the movie Forrest Gump over and over again your first introduction to LBJ might be when Forrest was being honored with the Medal of Honor and showed the president where he was "shot in the buttocks" during the Vietnam War. I haven't watched Forrest Gump in years, but if you haven't...

Fangirl Friday: Deleasa

Heyo! Happy Friday! It's that time of the week when I ramble about someone I love! Today's subject is DJ and producer, Deleasa. His name is Mike Deleasa and while I normally refer to my subjects by first name in these posts, I will be referring to him by his stage name, Deleasa. NOW to understand how I became a fan of Deleasa, we have to go all the way back to 2012, when Kevin and Danielle Jonas' reality show, Married to Jonas premiered. I bet you're wondering what does this guy have to do with the Jonas Brothers? Deleasa is actually Danielle's brother, making him Kevin's brother-in-law. He was featured in the reality show and I ended up falling in love with him. He was actually my parasocial "rebound" from Joe. You can read all about my parasocial breakup with Joe in my Fangirl Friday about him . But enough about the Jonas Brothers. That's not why we're here. Plus I've already written 30k words about them on this blog. However, I am for...

Zac Efron and Garrett Clayton are Basically the Same Person

I, a 21-year-old adult, is still a HUGE fan of the High School Musical franchise. In high school, had I been a better planner, I would have asked Lucas Grabeel to be my prom date. And even though I was older than most viewers, I did love Teen Beach Movie when it came out. In this post, I am going to explain how Zac Efron and Garrett Clayton are basically the same person. Let's start at the beginning. You may know Zac Efron as Troy Bolton in the Disney Channel Original Movie (or DCOM), High School Musical and it's franchise. He is the attractive blue-eyed, protagonist of all three HSM movies. And I will admit that I was a huge fangirl for him in my youth. Honestly, now I can't stand him. But that's for another post. Zac portrayed Troy in all three HSM films, but he only sang in the last two. That's right. Zac Efron did not sing in the first HSM movie. That was the amazingly talented Drew Seeley whom I will love till the day I die. Similarly, Garrett Clayton pl...
