I am so excited! I keep thinking about the concert... It will be wonderful, seeing him up close, I can't stand so much anxiety. I'll come back after the show to tell you how it was... but you may already know hahahaha!

Bruna (A2)

"I think that Justin Bieber's show is going to be amazing. He's gorgeous and I always liked his songs. He worked hard to get everything he has and there are people that criticize him. There is no reason to talk about him. that he is gay, it's horrible. If he is, that problem is his. I'm Justin's fan and it's obvious I'll be at his concert on October 5th. I love him for all that he is. I'm a Belieber and I'm proud of that!"

by Giullia (A1)

I'm very excited, Justin is very beautiful and in fact he is everything to me ... I love him so much, I just want to see that sweet face that makes half the world vibrate ... I LOVE HIM VERY MUCH ...  Beijokaaas ♥ (ps: the heart is for Justin)"

Esse fim de semana o tão esperado Rock In Rio 2011 começou e como muitas outras pessoas, alguns dos meus queridos alunos foram ou vão na proxima semana ao festival.

Aqui vai o que eles tiveram a dizer antes dele começar:

"The long awaited Rock In Rio will start on Friday, September 23rd. All tickets are sold out. With well planned organization, ranging from the place that will hold the festival to a proper transportation system, Rock In Rio will be an event to remember.

International singers and bands, such as Guns N' Roses, Lenny Kravitz, Elton John, Metallica, Katy Perry, Rihanna, Red Hot Chilly Peppers and Coldplay will perform during the seven-days festival. Some Brazilian attractions are also confirmed, like: Jota Quest, Ivete Sangalo, Cláudia Leita, NX Zero and others.

Rocki In Rio will end on October 2 and promises to be a success!"

by Gabriela Brito (A2)

"I'm very anxious about Rock In Rio because I will get to see my favorite bands, especially System of a Down and Guns N' Roses! I LOVE their songs!

I think the time I had to wait for the festival will be worth it just as surely that it will be an amazing experience!"

by Gabriel de Souza (A1)

"Hi, I'm here to talk about how I think Rock In Rio will be.  I think it will be fantastic! I'm going on Friday (September 23rd) and on that day Rihanna and Katy Perry will sing. I love them! I'm very excited!

Student's Corner #2 {Music Minute #2}: "Give Me Everything (Tonight)" - Pitbull feaT. Ne-Yo, Afrojack & Nayer

"'Give Me Everything (Tonight)' by Pitbull is a very good song. I really like it and it was recorded in partnership with Ne-Yo and Nayer.

I confess that I am addicted to the song and the best to me is when he sings: "I cannot promise tomorrow, but I promise tonight".

Pitbull has some very good songe, like 'On The Floor' with Jennifer Lopez and 'Rabiosa' with Shakira.

Pitbull, I think you are a great singer!"

by Gulherme Gomes

"Give Me Everything (tonight)"(Pibull feat. Ne-Yo, Afrojack, Nayer)

[Pitbull - Intro]
Me not working hard?
Yeah, right! Picture that with a Kodak
Or, better yet, go to Times Square
Take a picture of me with a Kodak
Took my life from negative to positive

I just want y'all know that
And tonight, let's enjoy life
Pitbull, Nayer, Ne-Yo
That's right

[Chorus:]
[Ne-Yo]
Tonight I want all of you tonight
Give me everything tonight
For all we know we might not get tomorrow
Let's do it tonight

[Nayer]
Don't care what they say
All the games they play
Nothing is enough
'Til they handle love

[Ne-Yo]
Let's do it tonight

[Nayer]
I want you tonight,
I want you to stay
I want you tonight

[Ne-Yo]
Grab somebody sexy, tell 'em hey
Give me everything tonight
Give me everything tonight
Give me everything tonight
Give me everything tonight

[Verse 1: Pitbull]
Take advantage of tonight
Cause tomorrow I'm off to Dubai to preform for a princess
But tonight, I can make you my queen
And make love to you endless
This is insane: the way the name growin'
Money keep flowin'
Hustlers move aside
So, I'm tiptoein', to keep flowin'
I got it locked up like Lindsay Lohan

Put it on my life, baby,
I make you feel right, baby
Can't promise tomorrow
But, I promise tonight
Dale

[Pre-Chorus: Pitbull]
Excuse me
But I might drink a little more than I should tonight
And I might take you home with me, if I could tonight
And, baby, Ima make you feel so good, tonight
Cause we might not get tomorrow

[Chorus:]
[Ne-Yo]
Tonight I want all of you tonight
Give me everything tonight
For all we know we might not get tomorrow
Let's do it tonight

[Nayer]
Don't care what they say
Or what games they play
Nothing is enough
'Til they handle love

[Ne-Yo]
Let's do it tonight

[Nayer]
I want you tonight, I want you to stay
I want you tonight

[Ne-Yo]
Grab somebody sexy, tell 'em hey
Give me everything tonight
Give me everything tonight
Give me everything tonight
Give me everything tonight

[Verse 2: Pitbull]
Reach for the stars
And if you don't grab 'em,
At least you'll fall on top of the world
Think about it
Cuz if you slip,
I'm gon' fall on top yo girl (hahaa)
What I'm involved with
Is deeper than the masons
Baby, baby, and it ain't no secret
My family's from Cuba
But I'm an American Idol
Get money like Seacrest

Put it on my life, baby
I make you feel right, baby
Can't promise tomorrow
But, I promise tonight
Dale

[Pre-Chorus: Pitbull]
Excuse me
But I might drink a little bit more than I should tonight
And I might take you home with me if I could tonight
And baby imma make you feel so good tonight
Cause we might not get tomorrow

[Chorus:]
[Ne-Yo]
Tonight I want all of you tonight
Give me everything tonight
For all we know, we might not get tomorrow
Let's do it tonight

[Nayer]
Don't care what they say
All the games they play
Nothing is enough
'Til they handle love

[Ne-Yo]
Let's do it tonight

[Nayer]
I want you tonight, I want you to stay
I want you tonight

[Ne-Yo]
Grab somebody sexy, tell 'em hey
Give me everything tonight
Give me everything tonight
Give me everything tonight
Give me everything tonight

But I might drink a little bit more than I should tonight
And I might take you home with me if I could tonight
And baby imma make you feel so good tonight
Cause we might not get tomorrow

Music Minute #1 {Entertainment Tips!}: "Perfect" - Pink!

Hello everyone!

Welcome to our Blog!

Today I want to talk about one of my favorite singer's newest and most amazing songs, Perfect by Pink.

This song is all about overcoming adversities and being the best that you can be, despite life and other people bringing you down.

"Perfect" is an original song that came out in Pink's greatest hits album in 2010.

The video of "Perfect" is just as awesome as the song! It makes use of very strong and shocking images to make a point about teenage bullying and never giving up on a better future.

Check out the clip:

The Lyrics:

Made a wrong turn, once or twice
Dug my way out, blood and fire
Bad decisions, that's alright
Welcome to my silly life
Mistreated, misplaced, misunderstood
Miss 'No way, it's all good', it didn't slow me down
Mistaken, always second guessing, underestimated
Look, I'm still around

Pretty pretty please, don't you ever ever feel
Like you're less than, less than perfect
Pretty pretty please, if you ever ever feel like you're nothing
You are perfect to me!

You're so mean, when you talk about yourself, you were wrong
Change the voices in your head, make them like you instead
So complicated, look happy, you'll make it!
Filled with so much hatred...such a tired game
It's enough! I've done all I can think of
Chased down all my demons, I've seen you do the same

Oh, pretty pretty please, don't you ever ever feel
Like you're less than, less than perfect
Pretty pretty please, if you ever ever feel like you're nothing
You are perfect to me!

The whole world's scared so I swallow the fear
The only thing I should be drinking is an ice cold beer
So cool in line, and we try try try, but we try too hard and it's a waste of my time
Done looking for the critics, cause they're everywhere
They dont like my jeans, they don't get my hair
Exchange ourselves, and we do it all the time
Why do we do that? Why do I do that?

Why do I do that..?

Yeah, oh, oh baby, pretty baby..!
Pretty pretty please, don't you ever ever feel
Like you're less than, less than perfect
Pretty pretty please, if you ever ever feel
Like you're nothing, you are perfect to me
You're perfect, you're perfect!
Pretty pretty please, if you ever ever feel like you're nothing
You are perfect to me...

Student's Corner {#1}: "How to Love" - Lil' Wayne

"I really liked the new rap song by Lil' Wayne. The song is called "How to Love". I found it very interesting, because this music clip explains how difficult was with his parents.

The clip begins with Lil' Wayne's mother about to have an abortion, but she changed her mind and fled. Lil' Wayne's beat his mother up, she would fight back and Lil' Wayne would watch it all when he was only 2 years old.

Lil' Wayne decided to make this clip because he wanted to share his pain."

by Felipe Paz (Wise Up Teens Student)

Lil Wayne - How To Love

You had a lot of crooks tryna steal your heart
Never really had luck, couldn't never figure out
How to love
How to love

You had a lot of moments that didn't last forever
Now you in the corner tryna put it together
How to love
How to love

For a second you were here
Why you over there?
Its hard not to stare, the way you moving your body
Like you never had a love
Never had a love

When you was just a young'un your looks was so precious
But now your grown up
So fly its like a blessing but you can't
have a man look at you for 5 seconds
Without you being insecure
You never credit yourself so when you got older
It's seems like you came back 10 times over
Now you're sitting here in this damn corner
Looking through all your thoughts and looking over your shoulder

See you had a lot of crooks tryna steal your heart
Never really had luck, couldn't never figure out
How to love
How to love

See you had a lot of moments that didn't last forever
Now you in the corner tryna put it together
How to love
How to love

For a second you were here
Why you over there?
Its hard not to stare the way you moving your body
Like you never had a love
Had a love

You had a lot of dreams that transform to visions
The fact that you saw the world affected all your decisions
But it wasn't your fault
Wasn't in your intentions
To be the one here talking to me
Be the one listening
But I admire your poppin bottles and dippin'
Just as much as you admire bartending and stripping
Baby, so don't be mad
Nobody else trippin
You see a lot of crooks and the crooks still crook

See You had a lot of crooks tryna steal your heart
Never really had luck, couldn't never figure out
How to love
How to love

See you had a lot of moments that didn't last forever
Now you in the corner tryna put it together
How to love
How to love

Oooh,
See I just want you to know
That you deserve the best
You're beautiful
You're beautiful
Yeah

And I want you to know, you're far from the usual
Far from the usual

You see you had a lot of crooks tryna steal your heart
Never really had luck, couldn't never figure out
How to love
How to love

See you had a lot of moments that didn't last forever
Now you in the corner tryna put it together
How to love
How to love

See you had a lot of crooks tryna steal your heart
Never really had luck, couldn't never figure out
How to love
How to love

See you had a lot of moments that didn't last forever
Now you in the corner tryna put it together
How to love
How to love
