Dat concludeert Paula Chesley van de University of Alberta in Canada woensdag in het online tijdschrift PLoS ONE.
Het was al bekend dat je woorden kunt leren door naar films en televisie te kijken, maar het was minder duidelijk dat dat ook kan door naar muziek te luisteren.
Like most exceptional accomplishments, Emerson Social Media’s class project started with a wild idea. the comment was made offhandedly, but ESM professor Dave Gerzof-Richard stopped and said, “Wait, what if Chad Ochocinco taught the class?”
Thus began a three-month campaign to convince the most influential athlete in social media to teach at Emerson College.

This is a funny song. The video? Well, let’s just say it made me think of a quote from stand-up comedian Katt Williams.
But the sets themselves bowed at the monolith of dance beats and club iconography. Cruz’s "Dynamite" and "break Your Heart" are seltzer confections of total drive-time inconsequence that don’t suffer from his lack of star power. The Jamaican dance hall-pop crossover Sean Paul, one of two artists who didn’t abide by the day’s rave-y code, got enthusiastic receptions for patois-heavy hits such as "Temperature." But they were obliterated by heavy subbass that left the crowd flinching and struggling to make out what particular song was playing under all the air-horn noises.
The indefatigable Flo Rida pulled his well-honed strip-poker shtick — he removes a shirt for every two or so chart hits he sings, which means that 15 minutes into his set, he’s a walking pectoral muscle. The ladies did not object, though it never gets normal to see pre-tweens invited onstage to "get Low" during a song about ogling strippers.
Nope, this is not a joke. the Fiat 500 has ‘performed’ alongside Jennifer Lopez at the American Music Awards in Los Angeles. I had no idea that cars can sing? Earlier this year, Fiat announced its collaboration with the American musical maestro. it includes placement of the Fiat 500C in her latest music video – Papi – as well as in a thirty-second second trailer of the video. Lopez also stars in two commercials for the brand broadcast in the US. Olivier Francois, CEO of the Fiat brand, commented: the Fiat brand is honoured to share the stage with Jennifer Lopez at the 2011 American Music Awards. Her drive and determination is the common thread that is shared with the brand and our philosophy of Life is best When Driven.” the Fiat 500 is a tremendously popular city car. Strengths include: pin-sharp handling, super-stylish looks, and a more robust feel than some old Italian cars. so, if fun-focussed fashion and low price are your priorities – this plaything should be on your shopping list. Not too sure about its ‘on-stage’ dancing though. Whereas Jennifer Lopez looks sleek and her timing is perfect, the 500 is less accomplished.

December 09, 2011 04:55:38 GMT Through her Twitter account, the ‘Super Bass’ raptress reveals that she has shared a smooch with the Material Girl on the music video set of ‘Give me All your Love’.
Nicki Minaj believes the liplock she shared with Madonna recently was better than the one the Material Girl had with Britney Spears at the 2003 MTV Video Music Awards. when a Twitter follower threw in the comparison question, the “Moment 4 Life” hitmaker enthused, “It was more romantic. Bwaha!” The raptress, who turned 29 on Thursday, December 8, got a smooch from the 53-year-old pop star on the music video set of “Give me All your Love” on Wednesday. Ecstatic, she took to Twitter to share the news, “OH MY f’ingggg Gahhhh!!!!! MADONNA jus kissed me!!!!! on the lips!!!!!!! It felt sooooo good. Soooo soft!!!! *passes out* aaahhhhh!!!!!!!!!” The MC, who is dubbed 2011 Rising Star by Billboard, went on to reveal, “Yes! It was recorded!!! *hopes & prays this footage appears somewhere* lmaoooooooooooo.” when asked by another follower how she reacted to the kiss, she responded by writing, “I was shocked but kissed back!!!ahhh!” a short while later, Nicki thanked her fans for wishing her a happy birthday. “No wishes. just thanks. Gratitude. to God be the glory,” she tweeted before following it up with another post that read, “Thank u my loves. I couldn’t do this w/o you. I am overwhelmed. I’m in love w/u guys. how could one girl be this lucky? *holds u close*” Nicki wasn’t done with the thanking on Thursday. “Thx to all the radio stations, dj’s, tv, mags, blogs, artists, designers, personalities, etc. for the love today! so so so appreciated! 
” so she tweeted. she then shared to her followers, “I’m rushing to b late to my own ‘surprise’ event. Ha! And all day ppl have been telling me to take a day ‘off’. what does that even mean?”
Since I’m already talkin’about serving the hotness, I figured now would be the time to givenationally-renowned DJ King Britt for the way heturned the party out on the turntables in the name of Chris(a.k.a. the White OrlandoPace…and that’s a good thing!) and his b-day atLola Saturday night. I mean he went hard for like two-and-a-halfhours and was so into it that I don’t think I ever saw him swallow.the bad thing is while who’s who on the local hip-hop scene likeNeedles and Black Spade werequick to pay tribute with head nods so heavy that they probablyneeded a neck brace Sunday morning, the regular folks were cool onbusting a move on the dance floor or giving him the energy he trulydeserved. the only revelers giving Britt something to work withwere this glorious salt and pepper duo that were twistin’ andturnin’ – to their own beat of course – like they had previouslyworked as contortionists for the UniverSoul Circus. When it was allsaid and done they had winded themselves together until they borean uncanny resemblance to that new swirl waffle cone that made itsway to the Rally’s menu. much like the treat, folks couldn’t helpbut get a taste as they made their way back and forth from the bar.…the only difference between the waffle cone couple and the realthing being the body heat they transmitted through their simulatedbump and grind. I hope that as Chris celebrated he enjoyed thosetwo for what they were – the personification of the perfectcomplement to a delicious birthday cake.
