Justin Bieber 2012

25th May 2012 | Category: Concerts


There are very few names in the 21st century that are more famous than pop stars and unsurprisingly enough one well known teenage star is none other than the tween sensation Justin Bieber. Justin has been on the top of the music industry for the better part of the last 4 years, having come from unknown origins only to be thrust into the limelight and presenting the world with skills, talents and the singing voice with enough captivation to perhaps take over to world; or at least satisfy the music cravings of children, teenagers and adults alike.
Bieber’s rise to stardom began unassuming enough when he was born March 1st, 1994 to 18 year old mother Patricia Lyn Mallette. Patricia raise Justin on her own with the help of her parents after the father Jeremy Jack Bieber though he was not considered a strong influence as he had originally abandoned Patricia during her time of need. Justin’s youth was not troubled though his mother struggled through working a series of low-income paying office jobs in an effort to support her single child and also to afford low-income housing. During his youth, Justin taught himself to play various instruments which prompted his mother enthusiastically encourage and nurture his creative side. In 2007 when Justin was 12, he began making more progress with his music and even went on to start singing, another move that prompted his mother to make recordings and upload them online. These videos slowly gained popularity until a happening chance saw Scooter Braun, a man connected within the music industry spot Bieber in a video by accident and happened to enjoy his music. He track Bieber down and began the efforts to sign him, eventually resulting in Usher signing Bieber to the Raymond Braun Media Group. Since that fateful encounter, Justin has produced countless hits that have spanned across the world and helped to propel his music career forward and thrust him into the history books as one of the most famous child singers in the world.
Justin has 3 albums with a number of songs, helping him to reach Gold and Platinum awards across the entire world as well as many accolades for the quality of his songs and performances. He also tours the world and sings in various locations, always gathering a crowd.

Million Dollar Quartet Theater 2012

23rd May 2012 | Category: Theater

Very few music groups seem to captivate the world these days as they once did years ago when individual talent was booming and more than just a stylized puffed up hairstyle and auto-tuned voice over. In the past we have seen some of the best musical and singing performances that have epitomised the past century with talents that many aim to perfect and surpass, though very few these days have the capacity or even the potential. One such group that showed the world what real talent is created from the skills, talents and voices of 4 separate individuals who in the own right were masters of song and dance. They formed The Million Dollar Quartet.
Comprised of Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis and Carl Perkins, who created what is arguably the world’s first supergroup. At the time and still to this day, the term supergroup means “a rock music group whose performers are already famous from having performed individually or in other groups.” The star amongst these stars however could easily be guessed as Elvis Presley, one of the top performers of his time and still famous today. On December 4, the four musicians gathered together at Sun Records in Memphis and unknowingly created one of the greatest jam sessions in history.
The choice and selection of songs that the group performed was mainly situated around Country music and country gospel, but no matter what genre they had decided, they were still the greatest songs of their time. Even today people will hum their songs on the way to work, play them over and over in their mind or just let loose and sing out to an entire crowd.
Most modern day musical performance adaptions don’t come so far as to present any real potential or influence on a past flame, but the Million Dollar Quartet of the 20th century does through their rocking revitalisation of the heart of the 50’s. The jukebox musical was written by Floyd Mutrux and Colin Escott in an effort to dramatize the former recording session of the group and to bring it back to life amongst an audience that could perhaps be described as fresh to the scene.
The musical began in 2010 after several tryouts and has only manage to shoot up and expand further towards a West End production after rave reviews.
Featuring the famous songs of the ol’ Quartet including “Blue Suede Shoes,” “Fever,” “That’s All Right,” “Sixteen Tons,” “Great Balls of Fire,” “Walk the Line,” “Whole Lotta Shakin’ Goin’ On,” “Who Do You Love?,” “Matchbox,” “Folsom Prison Blues,” “Hound Dog” and more, there has never been a more awe inspiring event.
This is a once and only event which will be exclusive to the fastest people who can get a hand on their tickets. The commitment to the true artistry of the original performance remains intact; it’s as if they’re really there singing for you. Don’t miss out on an opportunity to hear songs from the greatest singers in the world! Visit TicketCenter to get your hands on them immediately!

The Book of Mormon 2012 Tickets

21st May 2012 | Category: Theater

If you are into religious satire and want to take entertainment to the next level, then the musical The Book of Mormon should be in your list of to-watch musicals. Its book, lyrics and music are created by Trey Parker, Robert Lopez, and Matt Stone. Best known for creating the animated comedy South Park, Parker and Stone co-created the music with Lopez, who co-wrote and co-composed Avenue Q. The show lampoons organized religion and traditional musical theatre, reflecting the creators’ lifelong fascination with Mormonism and musicals. If you have seen South Park, you’d know what their definition of satire is.

However, if you think that this musical is also blasphemous, scurrilous and foul-mouthed, you may be proven wrong because according to some reviewers, “Its heart is as pure as that of a Rodgers and Hammerstein show. The same Rodgers and Hammerstein who wrote the beloved “Sound of Music” and “King and I,” two works specifically (and deliciously) referenced here. Like those wholesome, tuneful shows, “The Book of Mormon” is about naïve but plucky educators set down in an unfamiliar world, who find their feet, affirm their values and learn as much as they teach.”

The Book of Mormon tells the story of two young Mormon missionaries sent to a remote village in northern Uganda, where a brutal warlord is threatening the local population. Naive and optimistic, the two missionaries try to share the Book of Mormon, one of their scriptures—which only one of them knows very well—but have trouble connecting with the locals, who are more worried about war, famine, poverty, and AIDS than about religion.

It took seven years before it was completed. It only opened on Broadway last year. However, it’s not something that musical fanatic could avoid. The Book of Mormon has garnered positive critical response and numerous theatre awards including nine Tony Awards, one of which was for Best Musical and Grammy Award for Best Musical Theater Album. An original Broadway cast recording was released in May 2011 and became the highest-charting Broadway cast album in over four decades, reaching #3 on the Billboard charts.

“The musical has some very positive things to say about Mormons, who are depicted as naïve but committed to helping everyone they can and trying to improve their corners of the world. There are some missteps, to be sure. The song “Spooky Mormon Hell” is hilarious but theologically inaccurate. Although Mormons believe that a tiny fraction of humankind may spend eternity in outer darkness, it’s nothing like the Jonathan Edwards-styled fire-and-brimstone hell depicted in Elder Price’s nightmare,” according to another review.

The musical isn’t solely about religion, it’s an entertainment piece. It’s mean to make people amused and happy, it’s a feel-good musical that would make hearts sing. However, it’s not close to something that would make you want to convert. A professor of Mormon studies, Richard Bushman explained it in very few words, “the musical was not meant to explain Mormon belief.” And it wasn’t. It’s meant to be a musical, to inspire and serenade. Get The Book of Mormon tickets at discount musical ticket stores online.

WWE Tickets 2012

16th May 2012 | Category: Sports

The World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) is the show every muscular or skinny man in the world knows except probably those who live in mountains without access to TV. How could it not attract men of all ages? Not that men love violence; but WWE is pure entertainment. It is the place where big men meet and bash each other inside the ring using their brute strength. The last man standing wins. I guess it’s a natural instinct of man to fight until the end until one man survives or behold the fight and cheer. The WWE is the only place where there are men cheerleaders except they aren’t wearing skimpy outfits and they are swearing a whole lot. Wives know where they could fight their missing husbands; either in the ring if they have the money for tickets or in a friend’s house with other husbands drinking beer and hooting for the fight on TV.

WWE is currently the largest professional wrestling promotion in the world, reaching 13 million viewers in the U.S. and broadcasting its shows in 30 languages to more than 145 countries. It promotes under two brands, known as Rawand SmackDown.

Raw is generally seen as the company’s flagship program due to its prolific history, high ratings, weekly live format, and emphasis on pay-per-views. It is the longest-running weekly episodic TV show in history. Since its first episode, WWE Raw has been broadcast live from 197 different arenas in 165 cities and towns in nine different nations. Including the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Afghanistan in 2005, Iraq in 2006. As of November 16, 2009, the theme song for the Raw brand is “Burn It to the Ground” by Nickelback. Prior to this, the theme song for Raw was “…To Be Loved” by Papa Roach, which had been used since October 9, 2006 and “Across The Nation” by The Union Underground which was used from April 1, 2002 to October 2, 2006. Some of the favourite wrestlers of the Raw brand are CM Punk, Dolph Ziggler, Santino Marella John Cena, Rey Mysterio, and many more.

From its launch in 1999, SmackDown broadcast on Thursday nights, but on September 9, 2005, the show moved to Friday nights. The show originally debuted in the United States. As of October 2010 SmackDown opens with “Know Your Enemy” by Green Day while “Hangman” by Rev Theory serves as the secondary theme song. Upon SmackDown’s debut on Syfy it replaced the previous theme song “Let it Roll” by Divide the Day. Some of the favourite wrestlers of the SmackDown brand are Sheamus, Cody Rhodes, Big Show, Undertaker, Camacho and many more.

Men who wouldn’t want to miss any WWE fights and championships should go to Ticket Center now to check venues and dates for their WWE tickets. Get them now while they’re early or the Undertaker will come visit your home tonight.

A valiant effort went into the two legs of the semi-finals to see Bayern Munich clinch it in the 2nd leg via a penalty shootout, much to the struggle of Real Madrid. Despite the huge support for the Spanish royalty, Bayern’s win was well deserved to help them to their home dream final.
On the other end of the respective table was Chelsea FC who also had a similar test until the semi-final, tough comparatively harder as they had to face Napoli and Benfica, two very strong European clubs playing top quality football. The real challenge came against former champions FC Barcelona, known worldwide for their world class football and breaking the record books in the past decade. Putting all their strength to the test, Chelsea managed to park the bus and survive 3-2 overall over two fierce legs, helping them get their revenge from 2009 and also guide them to their dream final.
