The Diva Series featuring Peter Rauhofer pt. 2

Having exhausted my days off from work, I have finally finished part 2 in celebration of the memory and legacy of Peter Rauhofer.

I received positive feedback on part 1 and all I’m gonna say about this one is EPIC!

The Diva Series featuring Peter Rauhofer pt. 1

With Peter’s recent passing, I could think of no better way to honor him than to showcase his legacy.  You may ask yourself “why The Diva Series?” Frankly, With his much publicized feud with Offer Nissim (he was right) to his falling out with the organizers of the White Party (he was wrong), the one thing I know with all certainty is that HE WAS THE ULTIMATE DIVA!

The Diva Series featuring Lady Gaga

I thought it would be apropos to bookend Katy Perry with Lady Gaga, since they both crashed onto the scene at relatively the same time. Like Katy, I had mixed feelings about Lady G. I didn’t quite get the hysteria over her. Yes, I liked Just Dance and Poker Face but just wasn’t overwhelmed by her. It wasn’t until Love Game and Paparazzi came out that I began to have a better appreciation of her skills, not just as a writer or singer but as a performer. By the time Bad Romance dropped, all bets were off and I was solidly in her corner.

The Diva Series featuring Katy Perry

Largely dismissed as a one-off with her minor hit “Ur So Gay” which raised the ire of the LGBT community, Katy Perry came back swinging hard with “I Kissed a Girl” a song that struck a nerve with right-wing social conservatives and blew up massively at radio and in the clubs. There’s nothing like pissing off large swaths of the public that brings the kind of attention most new artists can only dream of. Clearly, there was something to this girl who had previously been writing songs for other pop artists.  Her debut album sparked off other top ten hits like “Hot n Cold” and “Waking Up in Vegas,” setting the stage for what was to come.

The Diva Series featuring P!nk

P!nk is no stranger to the Diva Hall of Fame since she’s already been inducted once before. I was never all that happy with the original set and since her greatest hits and recent album dropped, I decided it was time to go back and honor her with a set more fitting of her status.

The Diva Series featuring Jewel

Over the course of the next week, Party Favorz is gonna be all about the D I V A! I got several brand new sets and inductees into the Diva Hall of Fame and thought I’d kick it off with the fabulous Jewel.

Consider her the reluctant diva.

Chris Malinchak “So Good To Me”

I am head over heels in love with this song. Got this on loop in my car. What Marvin Gaye might have done had he still been with us. Simply AMAZING!
