Boom Boom Pow in Arizona

Fergie, Will I Am and the gang from Black Eyed Peas hit the Valley of the Sun for a stop on their tour. On March 31st, the group will be performing at Jobing.com Arena in Glendale, Arizona. The stadium is quick 20 minute drive from Bluegreen's Cibola Vista Resort and Spa.

To me, the hottest track on the The E.N.D. album is ”Meet Me Halfway”.

Sparks Fly in NJ

Season Six of American Idol produced mega-star Jordin Sparks, daughter of New York Giants great Phillippi Sparks, after she emerged victorious after performances like this. The pop princess continues to thrive three years after her victory on America's most popular television show. Her tour stops in Atlantic City on April 24th. Sparks will belt out hits like "Battlefield" and "S.O.S" at the Tropicana Casino. For Bluegreen owners staying at Bluegreen at Atlantic Palace, be sure to take a break from the slots and check out the Idol alum in concert.

Alicia Keys in NYC

Check out Alicia Keys in concert last night in NYC. The songstress made a stop in her hometown on her successful Freedom Tour. The crowd roared when special guests Beyonce and Jay-Z stepped onto the stage.

To celebrate her success, I recommend that Keys and company head south on the Garden State Parkway and check out the Boardwalk in Atlantic City. They will hit the jackpot with a stay at Bluegreen's Atlantic Palace Resort.

Currently on tour, Ms. Swift rolls into Charlottesville, Virginia for a performance this Saturday, March 20th. The concert takes place about a half hour from Bluegreen's Shenandoah Crossing.

Lady Gaga / Beyonce Telephone Movie

Ok, so Lady Gaga and Beyonce did not make a movie. But, you have to check out their new "Telephone" video. My friends and I took a gander last night, and we all agreed that it's pretty amazing. The nine minute masterpiece plays like a action-packed movie, complete with the over-the-top theatrics that we've come to expect from the pop powerhouse, Lady Gaga.

Chock full of product placement, the video serves as a walking advertisement for Lady Gag's own Heartbeats headphones, HP Envy Laptop, Miracle Whip, Diet Coke and Virgin Mobile, just to name a few. Seriously check out the video. It's crazy good.

My friends and I were talking about going to see Lady Gaga in concert. I missed her concert here in January. She's currently on tour overseas, but there's buzz that she'll be coming back to perform in the States soon. We may just do a weekend getaway and book a stay at one of Bluegreen's awesome resorts. I definitely want to check out some that I haven't been to, like Bluegreen Club 36 in Vegas and
Club La Pension in New Orleans.

10 Billion Strong and Growing!

The world of downloadable music has reached a milestone. Apple's iTunes has sold 10 Billion Tracks. Link to that site for a list of the all-time downloaded songs. Black Eyed Peas currently own the top spot with "I Gotta Feeling." I admit, I have that song, and boy, that was big last year. I remember adding it to every Music mix I would make for parties during the spring. I got sick of it, and lately I've been having a change of heart, adding it back to my workout "Power mix."

My music collection of 660 songs on my iPod is paltry compared to the rest of my generation. I remember my first year in college when I downloaded 100 songs from Napster, back when it was free. Gosh, so much time has passed and so many technological advances have surfaced. Obviously, Apple was light years ahead and fostered a keen ability to develop the next big thing.

Speaking of being in tune with what people want, Bluegreen always seems to be ahead of the curve. Whether it's building great resorts from the ground up in Orlando and Las Vegas, or annexing existing resorts in prime locations like New Orleans and Phoenix, Bluegreen remains at the forefront of the vacation industry.

And, this is just the beginning, which is the coolest part....

Carrie Underwood in Atlantic City

Continuing with the American Idol theme, country queen Carrie Underwood heads to Atlantic City for a March 19th performance at Boardwalk Hall. Her hit "Before He Cheats" was a huge pop music crossover hit. I really liked that song, though I hope no one ever comes up my car with a "Louisville slugger" with rage, taking out "both headlights." Yikes!!

Bluegreen at Atlantic Palace would be my choice for a great place to stay if I could get to this concert. The Atlantic city resort offers dazzling accommodations in the heart of the Atlantic City boardwalk. With Bluegreen in the mix, good times are a sure bet.

American Idol's Danny Gokey to perform in Myrtle Beach

Danny Gokey, one of the better contestants from American Idol is heading to Myrtle Beach on my birthday, April 2nd, for a performance at the House of Blues. I guess I am going to have to book a stay at one of our awesome Bluegreen resorts: Carolina Grande / Harbour Lights / SeaGlass Tower.

Check out Danny's performance last week on Idol...not too bad.

Michael Bublé's hot show down in Phoenix

Grammy award-winning singer Michael Bublé heads down to the Valley of the Sun on April 8th for a performance at the US Airways Center in Phoenix. Bublé has sold more than 25 million albums worldwide. Check out Bublé's performance on Saturday Night Live a couple of months ago. For an awesome place to stay, Bluegreen owners need to check out Bluegreen's news resort, Cibola Vista Resort and Spa.

Blues Traveler at Culture Room

Calling all John Popper fans out there! Blues Traveler is coming to Fort Lauderdale's Culture Room on April 23 and 24th. For all of you Bluegreen owners staying at Solara Surfside, just hop on Route 95 and head north for a half hour to get to Culture Club. The venue is pretty cool, with an intimate setting where you can really feel the music. Should be a rockin' time...

Repeat Offender Richard Marx is back

For all those music lovers planning a vacation to Orlando, set aside some time to go see Richard Marx in concert. The singer/songwriter with those great 80's hits like "Right Here Waiting" and "Satisfied" is planning a solo acoustic set on March 19th at the Plaza Theatre. It's nice to see him back in action. Looking for a great Bluegreen Resort to rest your head after the concert? Check out The Fountains or Orlando's Sunshine Resort.

I remember getting his Repeat Offender Album in 1989. On a trip to Puerto Rico, I remember lying down on my grandparents' hammock and listening to my Walkman, playing the songs over and over. Cassette tapes?? Walkman?? Seems like the stone age now...

Alicia Keys in Vegas

Grammy award winning singer/songwriter Alicia Keys hits Las Vegas for a stop during her Element of Freedom tour. She will perform at the historic Mandalay Bay Resort on April 9th. Element of Freedom is the songstress' fourth studio album. The album debuted at number two on the U.S. Billboard 200 chart and sold 417,000 copies in its first week. For a place to stay, Bluegreen owners should try Bluegreen Club 36 in Las Vegas. Spending a few days in Las Vegas and want to avoid the casinos? We've got your covered with our Las Vegas Travel Guide!
