MY AUDITION FOR SHAUN BOOTHE'S #CHILDSOLDIER VIDEO FOR THE 9/11/11 SHOOT.

BEFORE




AFTER


SHAUN BOOTHE'S VIDEO "CHILD SOLDIER" FEATURED IN THE TORONTO STAR TODAY.

Toronto Star Reporter Liam Casey wrote : 
"Kayode Joshua Taiwo, now 11, played the part of the child soldier.
“Why am I holding a gun?” he recalled asking his mother, Kemi Omololu-Olunloyo, at the time.
 “So we had a chat about all the wars in Africa and about people like Kony and (Robert) Mugabe who steal children to fight for them,” said Omololu-Olunloyo, a prominent community activist in Toronto. 
 Taiwo, who also goes by Kay Jeezy and The Kid Reporter, hopes to perform “Child Soldier” on Simon Cowell’s The X Factor one day.“I didn’t believe that kids my age could be soldiers,” the soft-spoken Grade 6 student said.
 He memorized Boothe’s lyrics in 48 hours, which included lines such as “Oh you don’t think these little hands can kill a man? These AKs only weigh a few kilograms.”

PICK UP the papers, would you? Rapper Shaun Boothe and I did a photoshoot with Vinny, the Star's photographer and we also did separate interviews with Star Reporter Liam Casey (above) at the Liberty Village site we were at 7 months ago. Watch this video and read everything there is to know about the plight of Child Soldiers as I want to continue educating people about this.

If you think Michael Jackson did not have a childhood, take a look at these kids who are forced to fight in the military and kill!

SHAUN BOOTHE'S VIDEO "CHILD SOLDIER" FEAT ME (KONY 2012)








Today Shaun Boothe released a video about Child Soldiers. I was featured as the kid soldier in this strong message video. We filmed it the afternoon of September 11th 2011 at Liberty Village behind Dempsters bread factory. Child Soldier is Boothe’s musical effort at giving a voice to the voiceless children across the world that are manupulated and physically “forced into the armed forces.” Written well over a year ago Boothe created the song after embarking on a nationwide human rights school tour. Inspired by everything he learned during that tour he went home, researched more about the issues and did what he does best – put it into a song

Since the Kony2012 campaign, much has been discussed and debated in the media as of late with regards to this global issue. Who is to blame? Where is this happening? How do we stop this? Who should we support? However, amist all the controversy, it’s important we not forget what our real concerns should truly be – the children.

Directed by Footage TV, and starring 10 year old KJ, the song and video speak from the perspective of a child soldier. The purpose of this video is to raise awareness and provoke thought. Please feel free to circulate broadly. We all have a part to play in the betterment of a world we all share.

Thank you Shaun for giving me this great opportunity in my career as an aspiring rapper. Anyone can reach heights. Also I had one wonderful day on the set with all the food and then my paycheck!! I beat my mom to the mall. lol.--KJ aka Kay Jeezy

WHITNEY HOUSTON REMEMBERED FOR HER BEST DAYS.


My mom was Whitney's FRIEND!! However I was 4 then and she told me about the saga of her life. I have done all her cover songs and plan to put it on my YouTube soon. Above is the Toronto Sun yesterday.

“I am completely devastated by the loss of the greatest voice of all time! R.I.P. Whitney Houston. I will always love you!” – Producer/X Factor judge L.A. Reid

On her death, L.A. Reid was not the only Tweeting celebrity to invoke I Will Always Love You, the Dolly Parton-penned song that became Whitney Houston’s biggest hit.

Real Housewives of Atlanta’s Niecy Nash used it too, with four exclamation points – which meant by extension that she was four times as grief-stricken (Nash is typical of the kind of “celebrity” that is first off the gun whenever a legend dies, two Kardashians being at the front of the pack posting Tweets early Sunday morning).

But what struck me most about Reid’s under-140-character tribute was the idea that we didn’t just lose a person, we lost a voice. In fact, many Twitter users, famous and not, expressed more or less the same sentiment.

Two thoughts: (a) Alas, we lost that voice years ago. Chalk it up to Bobby Brown, the effects of years of various burnt substances on the throat or the disease that is addiction, but Houston had not, since the ‘90s, been able to hit any of the crazy notes that replay in our mind’s ear. A sad postscript is the brief stage appearance (watchable on YouTube) she made at the pre-Grammy concert the night before she died, trying to sing Yes, Jesus Loves Me. Sadly, the woman whose influence is all over shows like American Idol and The Voice would have been ushered out the door at audition for not holding a melody.

And (b), Reid’s comment brings to mind the anecdote usually attributed to the author Graham Greene after being told that a second-rate movie adaptation had “destroyed your book.”

“No it didn’t,” he is said to have replied. “There it is, still on the shelf.”

That is the truth about Whitney Houston. Look at any of the articles about her, and the image is circa the ‘80s, of the apple-cheeked ex-gospel choirgirl with the ridiculously royal musical bloodlines (mom Cissy Houston, cousin Dionne Warwick, godmother Aretha Franklin), and the sense of fun (I Want To Dance With Somebody) and the arrangement-adventure (who else would make five syllables out of the word “I” in I Will Always Love You?).

Rare is the shot of the gaunt, tragic shadow-of-Whitney who occasionally appeared in public to the shock of witnesses.

Whether someone should have helped her over all those recent years, or could have, is now irrelevant. The unguarded, drugged-out, foul-mouthed Whitney Houston we saw - on the reality show Being Bobby Brown and the weird “crack is whack” interviews she’d occasionally give to the Oprahs and Diane Sawyers - was a ghost of the person we thought we knew secondhand via Grammy speeches and roles in movies like The Bodyguard, Waiting To Exhale and The Preacher’s Wife.

We’ve seen that ghost before – sometimes against the wishes of the subject, as with the Meryl Streep movie The Iron Lady, which spends much of its time with Margaret Thatcher under the spell of senile dementia, a state the actual ex-PM has gone to pains to keep hidden from public view.

That ghost could be named Elvis or Michael Jackson or Judy Garland. Whether the ghost gets to squeeze into the post-mortem picture of pop cultural memory seems to be something of a fluke. At the time of his death, the plus-sized “Vegas Elvis” was vivid in the public mind. But the years have tended to airbrush that image away in favour of the immortal, young, pelvis-swinging truckdriver from Tupelo. Similarly, no one remembers that “other,” less-Adonis-like Jim Morrison. (The troubled, fish-netted, pill-popping Garland, on the other hand, has survived as a gay iconic stage image that supersedes the work of Mickey Rooney’s onscreen gal-pal.)

I suspect that, whoever that was playing the role of Whitney Houston the last 10 or 15 years, will also soon be forgotten. Whitney was born as a star shortly after the birth of music video. That powerful image-making mojo will keep her most magic moments alive for decades.
