Celebrity of the Week: Carly Rae Jepsen

Hey guys!

This week's celebrity is Carly Rae Jepsen. 


Carly Rae Jepsen (born November 21, 1985) is a Canadian recording artist and singer-songwriter from Mission, British Columbia. In 2007, she placed third in Canadian Idol season five's competition, and was a part of the Canadian Idol Top 3 concert tour. Shortly after competing on Canadian Idol, she independently released her debut album Tug of War through Maple Music Recordings on September 30, 2008. Three years later, she released a new single, titled "Call Me Maybe", on Canadian label 604 Records, which was followed by the release an extended play titled Curiosity on February 14, 2012. In February 2012, pop singer Justin Bieber referred her to his manager, Scooter Braun, who subsequently signed Jepsen to his Schoolboy Records label while obtaining an American deal with global distribution on affiliate Interscope Records, after "Call Me Maybe" gained popularity on YouTube by reaching 300 million views. The single reached the number one spot on both the US Billboard and Canadian Hot 100, while also topping the charts in 19 other countries. Jepsen's musical influences include James Taylor, Bruce Springsteen and Van Halen.
Jepsen has received multiple awards and nominations; she has been nominated for two Grammy Awards and was named by Billboard as 2012's Rising Star.
From what I know about her, I think that she has a great personality. She really knows how to make people smile and she has got the best features. I especially love her combination of dark brown hair and blue eyes....she and Ian Somerhalder would look amazing together! :) If you guys would like to check out her official website, click here.

  1. 'Call me maybe' was a hit in the Netherlands last spring, around the same time that my class had a field trip of one week. Imagine a buss full of hyperactive 16-year-olds on energy-drinks singing this song for an entire week and you'll understand why I wasn't a big fan of her at first...
