If you’ve read my blog before, you’d know that I am a huge fan of American Idol (2002 - 2016 and 2018 - present). Well, I’m a fan of seasons one to eleven. Despite the show ruining its own legacy, you can’t deny it had some unbelievably talented people on the show. One of those... Continue Reading →
Ever since AC/DC released their music video for “Through the Mists of Time” back in late September of 2021, I’ve wanted to do a post about my top 10 AC/DC music videos. I didn’t want to do the post right away, though, because I’ve already talked about the band a lot last year. But now,... Continue Reading →
Judas Priest’s Painkiller (1990) album is the first to feature drummer Scott Travis, who replaced Dave Holland in 1989. It is also vocalist Rob Halford’s last album with the band until Angel of Retribution (2005). I never realized how common it was for band members to leave and return to the band years later. It...

I was 11-years-old when the show premiered and back then, I dreamt about becoming a singer. I think the real reason why I thought the show would be... Continue Reading →
Who’s in the mood for some Judas Priest? Today, I’ll be reviewing the band’s third studio album titled, Sin After Sin (1977). Produced by Deep Purple bassist Roger Glover, it is the last album to feature the former gothic font for the Judas Priest logo. The line-up that played on the album includes Rob Halford...

I was least excited for this album review because it’s the longest album I’ve covered on my blog so far (almost an hour and 22 minutes total). But you know what, I can’t put it off anymore! I’m doing it! I’m finally going to review Iron Maiden’s Senjutsu (2021) album, the band’s first studio album... Continue Reading →
Dreams really do come true! I finally got accepted into the Disney College Program! The craziest thing was that this was my fifth time applying.
