The Amazing Race 18: Unfinished Business

Coca-Cola Recipe

It's one of my favourite drinks... a nice cold coke with wings, burgers, fries, & pupusas (a meal from El Salvador) mmmmmm

The Coca-Cola recipe has been revealed.

As reported on cbc.ca:
The recipe consists of two parts: caffeine, sugar, caramel and vanilla, but also "fluid extract of coca."

The second part — an exotic concoction called "Merchandise 7X," which includes cinnamon, nutmeg oil, neroli, orange oil and coriander — gives the pop its distinctive flavour, the radio show said.

Grammy Awards 2011: Christina Aguilera

Christina Aguilera clearly redeemed herself at the Grammy’s.  However, the media is going crazy over the small slip at the end of the Aretha tribute. The fall wasn’t even that big for the media to go all over the top. They need to chill and leave her alone.

They should look at the following falls before going bananas on Xtina:

My favourite (that always cracks me up) is miss Beyonce. She was ok and very professional after the fall.

Grammy Awards 2011: Best Performances

It was an ok awards show and it got the highest viewing since 2001.

Below are my top 3 performances from the Grammy Awards:

Christina Aguilera, Jennifer Hudson, Martina McBride, Yolanda Adams and Florence Welch joined forces to pay tribute to Aretha Franklin. It was an interesting performance as different ladies from different styles of music came together to honour Aretha Franklin.

Rihanna, Eminem, Dr. Dre, Skylar Sky

I like the song and I like the performance.




Cee-Lo feat. Gwyneth Paltrow
This was just crazy to watch: his outfit, Gwyneth Paltrow - her distracting earings and shoes that gave her some trouble standing up (imagine her slipping, falling and rolling off the piano...hahahah) & my favourite part was the muppets. Those three back up singers were amazing!!!!!!
