Christina Perri Singer Photos

Singer-songwriter Christina Perri, born August 19, 1986, recently released a five-single EP, The Ocean Way Sessions, on November 9. With her haunting single “Jar of Hearts” debuting on the Billboard Hot 100 chart at No. 63 without any radio play, it is no wonder Christina Perri has already become a notable force in the music industry.

Growing up in Bensalem, Pa. (a suburb of Philadelphia) Perri began her music career at a young age; at the age of 6 she first sang at her Holy Communion. Her parents realized her talents and enrolled her in piano lessons as well as musical theater groups. Perri always knew what she liked in musically and said her piano teacher “fired” her because she used to change the endings to songs-- she didn’t like the way they were written and believed her versions were better! At the age of 16, Perri taught herself how to play the guitar by watching VHS tapes of Blind Melon.

Only a couple of weeks ago, Christina Perri was serving coffee at Melrose Place Cafe in Los Angeles California, wondering when she’d get her big break. Thank to the speed of Social Media, Word Of Mouth… Today, she’s busy fielding media requests and answering stacks of fan mail.

It all started when her close friend (Keltie Colleen, a Radio City Rockette), handed Christina’s demo toStacey Tookey, choreographer for the hit show – So You Think You Can Dance. Perri’s song

justin bieber religious, moral and political views

Religious, moral and political views
Bieber is a Christian. He said he has a relationship with Jesus, talks to him and "he's the reason I'm here". Bieber's comments in a February 2011 profile in Rolling Stone sparked controversy. Asked whether a person should wait until marriage to have sex, Bieber responded, "I don't think you should have sex with anyone unless you love them." Asked about his opinion on abortion, Bieber said he doesn't "believe in abortion" and that it is "like killing a baby". When asked about abortion in cases of rape, he said, "Well, I think that's really sad, but everything happens for a reason. I don't know how that would be a reason. I guess I haven't been in that position, so I wouldn't be able to judge that." In the same interview, Bieber talked about homosexuality, stating that "It's everyone's own decision to do that. It doesn’t affect me and shouldn't affect anyone else", with Rolling Stone commenting, "It is not clear whether he intended to label homosexuality as a lifestyle choice." However, Bieber has also contributed to the It Gets Better Project, a project started in response to the suicide of Billy Lucas, a teenager who was the target of anti-gay bullying. Bieber has said he is not interested in obtaining United States citizenship, praising Canada as being "the best country in the world", citing its health care system as an example. He is also a supporter of US president Barack Obama, but he does share some aspects of Sarah Palin's political views.
