Top 10: Fashionable Singers

Many singers & performers are not only talented vocalists but also known for their fashion sense. As a singer these celebrities are often on stage performing in front of their fans and not only is their voice important but the way they present them self to the world.

As a singer and public figure the image and persona that celebrities portray is everything. They become a brand and to be successful they needed to create a niche for themselves vocally and visually. The more creative they are and the more they push the envelope the more their fans will be intrigued with them and look forward to their appearances and performances. Everything from the words that come out of their mouth to the choreography they do on the stage to the shoes they wear on their feet need to be though out and planned.



Singers not only have the world singing along with their songs but they have us wanting to dress like them as well. Who could forget the 80's and everyone wearing black lace and gloves to look like Madonna? In the ninties hip-hop and rap was at the forefront and TLC and Criss Cross had kids wearing bright colored baggy clothes...and some even started wearing their pants backwards. It was in this decade that Nirvana had even me wearing flannel shirts and Doc Martins. Now with the end of that era and with the 2000's here, the mix of all cutures and styles is here and singers from all different categories have us dressing Mod, Preppy, Geometric, and layered.


Here is my list of my Top 10 Fashionable Singers that have inspired me. (In no particular order...)

Jay-Z and the Occult Connections

Jay-Z takes aim at all those who have questioned his spirituality on the new Rick Ross song "Free Mason". At the top of the year, while on New York radio, Jay dismissed rumors that he was a member of the illuminati, worshiped the devil and had Satanic images in the video for "On to the Next One".


"I was a roadie on the Blueprint 3 tour for a few dates," Ross said in May of how the song came about. "It started off in St. Louis. I was just messing with everybody, kicking it with everybody, letting Jay hear my ideas and concepts. When you get the deluxe version of this album, we documented when I played the record. I played the track and my first verse," Ross recalled. "I put in the PS3 behind the stage.


"Played it, [Jay] listened to it," he continued. "We played it, backed it up, played it again. Played it, backed it up, played it again. Backed it up, and he spit his verse. It's gonna be magic for people to see Jay do his 'Rain [Man]' when he's rubbing his head, like he pulling his rhymes outta his mind. Just to see somebody come up with a verse that potent in less than two or three minutes ... 'cause it was just a snippet. The beat may have played for a minute and a half and started over," a process Ross says was repeated a few times as Jay composed. "He had his 16, an idea for the chorus. Trey Songz, all of us standing around in awe."


in addition


Jay-Z’s latest video called “Run This Town” (featuring Rihanna and Kanye West) contains occult symbolism relating to secret societies. It has been long rumored that Jay-Z is part of some sort of occult order (probably Freemasonry) due to the hints slipped in his songs and his imagery. ”Run This Town” certainly adds fuel to the fire. We’ll look at the symbolism in this song and in his clothing line, Rocawear.

Lady Gaga's Insurance Company Wants Nothing To Do With Lady Gaga


 


 


Bosses at Lady Gaga 's insurance company have filed court documents in New York distancing themselves from the singer's legal battle with a former producer - to ensure they aren't liable for damages if she loses the case.



Rob Fusari, Gaga's former mentor and ex-boyfriend, is suing the star for $35 million, claiming he helped his former lover come up with her stage name and played a key part in landing her a record deal with Interscope.



Fusari maintains he held a 20 per cent share in his company with Gaga, Team Love Child LLC, and argues she failed to adequately compensate him for his shares in the firm once she gained worldwide recognition.



The "Poker Face hitmaker has hit back with a countersuit, accusing Fusari of taking advantage of her naivety as a wannabe pop star.



Now executives at her insurers Navigators Speciality Insurance Company have waded into the lawsuit. Lawyers representing the firm filed a motion in court on Thursday asking the presiding judge to issue a declaratory judgment because Gaga's policy does not cover breach of contract claims, reports TMZ.com.



The legal papers state Gaga's policy only pays for "an act or omission including personal injury in the performance of professional services."
