Switch music video by Jelynn Rodriguez

A few months ago, Jelynn Rodriguez released her single “Switch.” (channelAPA.com even made it on her website. See it here.) Over the weekend, the actress/singer dropped the music video for the track. Her first single “Switch” is an up-tempo, beat-driven pop song expressing that behind every bad boy brings out a woman that will not allow him to get the best of her and instead flips the switch in his so-called dating game. The music video features sexy, black-light and glow-in-the-dark special effects. Choreographer Rachel Kay compiled an incredible sequence of high-energy dance moves and hair-flicking choreography. *Jelynn* dances along-side a talented group of reputable dancers who have collectively performed with Beyoncé, Omarion, Bow Wow, and the Chicago Bulls “Luvabulls” to name a few.

Jelynn Rodriguez is a Filipino-American singer and dancer raised in San Diego, California. Jelynn is also well-known as an actress featured on shows such as NBC’s “Las Vegas” and “Days of our Lives”, ABC’s “Samantha Who?” and FOX’s “Brothers”. She has also been known as the host of the Imagen Award nominated popular show “The Drop” on the cable network SiTV for 5 seasons and has been featured on numerous networks such as the TV Guide Channel, AMC, Altitude TV and on Disney/ABC’s Soapnet.com.

Sam Ock, one of the 2010 International Secret Agents Breakout Performer winners, has released his original track “Beautiful People”. ISA Voters are familiar with the music video. It came in first in the ISA voting this year. He’s offering the first 500 people that goes to his site here a FREE download of the song. After that, it’s only a buck. If you voted for him, here’s your chance to finally get the track.

Also check out his collabos with dumbfoundead on “Different Galaxies“, Kero One on “On Bended Knee“, and Clara C on “Little Light“. Not bad for a college student.

Lyrics to Beautiful People by Sam Ock

Hello Mr. Handsome and Ms. Real Beautiful
I’m feelin’ good, hope the feelings are mutual
If not, well I got the remedy, the cure
Don’t get it twisted, my intentions are pure
I just want to address an ongoing issue
we all struggle with it, maybe with tears and tissues
misusing adjectives, the name of the game
calling some people beautiful and other people plain
can I just say that we are going insane?
putting things on pedestals which are truly inane
got the new kicks and clothes but we still complain
are we really afraid of being some kind of “lame”
well, I’m a messenger with something to say
you, yes you are beautiful in every way
don’t let the world tell you anything else
and put a big smile on, ’cause it’s good for your health (and sing)

even when the sun goes down
I will shine and spread my love around
even when the moon goes out
I will shine and give my love, my love to you!

now I’m not trying to say that your troubles go away
I’m just trying to tell you that you’re lookin’ nice today
even with your sweatpants on
your big, bright smile makes my worries go gone!
I think we all forget how far our words go
mean things to say can make a nice day ice cold
we all know the small things in life:
the smiles, the compliments, that help us get by
so please take this song as a gentle reminder
that life is much BRIGHTER if you’re generally kinder
so once you’ve done said it, you can’t hit rewind
and just remember, words are the gates to the mind
and the soul; love is what fills the holes
in the gaps of the hearts that will break the old mold
if you’re resonating with me that love matters the most
from me to you, then I do propose this toast (and so we sing)
