愛惠旗艦店

 

今天在華爾街日報上看到一篇很有趣的文章，探討本應屬於藝術片小眾市場的斷背山，如何擄獲主流觀眾的心，這篇文章跟電影拍攝手法或演員演技完全無關，單純就行銷的角度切入，看斷背山的成功之處。才看完斷背山沒幾天的我，趁著對這部片熱情未減時趕快翻譯下來，還沒看電影的人可以放心閱讀，本文絕對無雷，也希望你看完文章後走一趟戲院，看看這部我心目中今年最佳影片。

耶！愛惠旗艦店換新裝完就立刻有好消息！今天剛收到的消息說今年在義大利Torino舉辦的冬季奧運會將請惠妮去開一場演唱會！是一整場喔！主辦單位表示已邀請全球重量級的巨星，從2/11到2/25一連15個晚上，每晚一人，馬拉松式的開唱，以下是已排定的順序：

2/11 Andrea Bocelli

一個即將發片的新團體Nemesis兩天前在 Santa Monica 錄音時，巧遇正在同棟錄音室錄新專輯的惠妮，這個由兄弟倆組成的團體其中一名是惠妮迷，於是他鼓起勇氣去跟惠妮要簽名，但糗的是當時他手中沒有任何可以簽的東西，只好隨手拿起錄音室裡一本惠妮為封面人物的國家詢問報給她簽，斗大的小報標題寫著 "古柯鹼已經摧毀了她的聲音，她濱臨破產的邊緣！" 不以為意的惠妮很親切地簽了名，只說 "他們總是挑醜的照片來登！" 為了取信於民，他把惠妮的簽名 scan 出來：

根據這位歌迷的線報，惠妮當天的製作人是 Jermaine Dupri and Terry Lewis，而她看起來很美，一點都不像小報上的照片。

我的看法是：存疑！！

(1) 這個人寫了太多打片嫌疑的 information，像是他們的團名、首支單曲、MySpace網頁、官方網站等等，很有可能是來打廣告衝人氣的

Are Whitney and Bobby over?

New York Daily News 的報導，巴比在日前的演唱會後台休息時跟一群女人嘻笑間透露，他與惠妮已經玩完了，兩人已經做出分居的決定，並準備離婚。

Whitney & Bobby may have made a split decision

Letoya Luckett, formerly of Destiny Child, embarks on a solo career to fulfill her destiny of stardom. Most are anxious to see what she has to offer since fans mainly saw her as just another pretty face in a girl group. After joining another girl group and seeing her dreams fall through once again, Letoya stayed persistent in wanting a career in music. She stayed working with her vocal coach and pitched solo material to Capitol Records where she was eventually signed. Since then Letoya has had various teaser tracks released to get a feel of what fans were wanting. Her first track You Got What I Need did very well on the mixtape circuit and got great responses from fans and radio DJ's. All Eyes on Me, which was the rumored first single, features Houston's finest Paul Wall and Slim Thug on one of the most mesmerizing tracks heard in the last part of 2005. It's receiving heavy rotation in the Houston area as well as growing buzz in other markets. After what I've heard so far she has great potential to have a good career in music.

Little Brother had one of the most anticipated underground hip-hop albums of the last quarter of 2005. This North Carolina trio is already making a name for themselves for creating a movement to cleanse hip-hop of its commercial status and return it to its roots. With a melting pot of talent, their musical ingredients feature a dash of De La Soul, A Tribe Called Quest, and the Roots. Not to mention Little Brother adds their own unique southern flavor to stand out from other southern hip-hop groups. Fans and those music reviewers who know good hip-hop when they see it have critically acclaimed their latest release, The Minstrel Show. Their new video Quiet has been in heavy rotation on MTV2 and along with the release, the single is expected to dominate the airwaves with it's exposure semi-mainstream crowd.
