CHRISTINA AGUILERA - REFLECTION Lyrics


Choice quotes from the song:

"I can fool the world, but I cannot fool my heart."

"I will show the world what's inside my heart
and be loved for who I am."

"Why must we all conceal, what we think, how we feel?"

"I won't pretend that I'm someone else for all time."

One of my all-time favorite quotations is from Kurt Cobain who stated "I'd rather be hated for who I am, than loved for who I am not."

I agree with Kurt Cobain. What is the use of being loved when the person they really love is not the real you. Who are you fooling? The only person that you cannot fool is yourself. 

It is so uncomfortable to pretend just to please other people, it is hard to be someone else, because sooner or later, our true self will surface, our true colors will come out.

On the other hand, it is so nice to be liked or loved just the way you are, to be accepted and appreciated just the way you are. So whether people will like you or not, just be yourself. You cannot please everybody anyway.

MUSIC TRIVIA: SUCCESSFUL MOUSEKETEERS

Christina Aguilera, Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake have one thing in common.  All of them were Mouseketeers.  What is Mouseketeers?  Mouseketeers are the main cast members of The Mickey Mouse Club, an American children’s variety television show (1955-1994) that featured child performers.

Christina Aguilera auditioned for a role on the Club in 1991, but it was only two years later that she was accepted due to the show’s age requirement. In the show, she performed sketch comedy and musical numbers where she was nicknamed “The Diva” by her fellow members that also include actor Ryan Gosling.

At age eight, Britney Spears auditioned in the Mickey Mouse Club but she was rejected by the casting director for being too young. She was only accepted in December 1992. And Justin Timberlake was a cast member for two years in 1993 to 1994.

The Mickey Mouse Club may have ended in 1994 but it was one of the starting points for the successful careers of Christina Aguilera, Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake.

ONE DIRECTION’S HARRY STYLES IS RUMORED TO BE GAY

The latest news about One Direction is that their youngest member Harry Styles was rumored to be gay because of his close friendship with British DJ Nick Grimshaw. Harry said, that they're just friends. He finds the gossips funny, ridiculous and annoying. He said that it can be frustrating when it affects his loved ones.

Louis Tomlinson, Harry’s bandmate and One Direction’s eldest was also rumored to be gay. Their rival boy band The Wanted has reportedly accused him of being gay, but he explained that he’s attracted to females only that, the type of girls that want to sleep with him in a heartbeat are not the type of girls he’d want to take home. (That’s nice Louis!)

I’m not a fan of One Direction, but this gossip is just so funny. I don’t understand the media. If One Direction members go out on dates with different girls, they make a big fuss out of it, and if they hang out with guy pals they also make a big fuss out of it. Well, as what the saying goes “Good publicity or bad publicity is STILL a publicity.” I think, that’s the price One Direction has to pay for being so popular.
