Yesterday was all about the Old School.

Today, it all about how the New School is doing out there in the real world.

Sounds like they're doing great.

Whenever Nelly Furtado asks me to jump, I won't even ask How High - I'm just going to jump like a bird, like a plane.

She got me so insane

Thursday, March 24, 2011: Nelly - Dilemma ft. Kelly Rowland

I can't tell you how much I love Wikipedia.

They have articles about every frickin' thing you can imagine.

For instance, how much do you want to know about the song Dilemma from Nelly (ft. Kelly Rowland)?

Well, HERE's the Wikipedia link to the whole page, with information on:

1 Background and writing
2 Release
3 Reception
4 Music video
5 Remixes and sequel
6 Chart performance
7 Track listings
8 Official versions
9 Charts and sales
9.1 Peak positions
9.2 Year-end charts
9.3 Decade-end charts
9.4 Certifications
9.5 Chart procession and succession

Oh, and even a small section dealing with the Papi Sánchez cover version, including its track listings and chart success.

For instance, did you know that "Dilemma" was nominated for Best Rap/Sung Collaboration and Record of the Year at the Grammy Awards of 2003, winning the former? Or that the music video for "Dilemma" was filmed on Colonial Street, part of Universal Studios backlot, which is the same location is used during filming of Desperate Housewives?

How any of this overload of information helps or hurts a song, I'm not too clear on.

All I know is that, even when I'm with my boo, I'm still crazy about this song.

Kick it, Nelly.

When I started this blog, I felt like I had a million things to say.

Now that I've been at this for about six months, I have a greater understanding of just how difficult it is to write daily and try to maintain a consistent level of quality. Or, of at least interesting material.

Writing, at the very beginning, was very easy. It was the song choices which were difficult.

Now, it is the polar opposite. Writing something worthwhile, meaningful, humourous and insightful on a regular basis has become extremely difficult.

Choosing songs, however, has become a breeze.

Here's todays cool breeze. Before she was Timbaland's maneater, Nelly Furtado was actually cool.
