Kanye West

Hello everyone! Yesterday I did a review on the Grammys (if you didn't read it you should definitely go check it out, if you want the complete run down), and one person that I did not talk about was Kanye West. I did mention that he tried to hop on stage, but I never went into full detail.

So Sunday night, Kanye was in two performances. For his first performance, it stated with all the lights off and a single light on stage. Kanye is standing by the light and when he started to sing, you could tell that his mic is very auto tuned. Right when I heard it, I was so disappointed. I mean, everyone already thinks that he is a jerk, and then instead of going on stage and showing everyone that he really is talented, he choose to use auto tune . Also the light was really distracting, and every time he walked over it, I found myself staring at the light and not even listening to him.

In the second performance, he was with Rihanna and Paul McCartney. I was really excited to see what they would do, but I feel like with all the hype, it was kind of a letdown. At least Kanye was singing more natural, and I am pretty sure that he didn't use any auto tune. They all sounded really good, but I think the part that upset me the most was that Paul didn't get to sing that much. He was the person I was really looking forward to hearing, and all he did was play guitar for Kanye and Rihanna. At least they all sound really good vocally.

So later on in the night they gave away the award for album of the year. As I said yesterday, Beck won, and Kanye was NOT happy about that. I feel that the whole world was shocked when Beyoncé didn't win, but no one would threaten to go on stage and ruin Beck’s moment. When Kanye did everyone one was confused for a moment, but then when he walked back off everyone though that it was a joke. There is even a video of Beyoncé and Jay Z’s reaction, and Jay Z looks mortified until everyone starts laughing. However, later on, during an interview with E News, Kanye reviles that it was indeed not a joke and that he feel that Beck should have given his award to Beyoncé. Kanye’s exact words were “Beck needs to respect artistry and he should've given his award to Beyoncé. Because when you keep on diminishing art and not respecting the craft and smacking people in their face after they deliver monumental feats of music, you're disrespectful to inspiration.” Of course Kanye would make an award show, where he won nothing, all about him. This just proves to people that Kanye is the most important person to Kanye.

What do you think of Kanye? Do you agree with everyone else, or do you think he is really a good person with a strong opinion? Comment below.

Grammy Review!

Hello everyone! How has your Monday been? Today I am going to talk about the Grammys .Music’s biggest night took place last night, and it was pretty amazing. Although, it was very different from last year.  This year it was much calmer and you got to hear more vocals, which was amazing! The whole show was full of many amazing performances and Sam Smith wining almost every award. It did not disappoint!

ACDC opened the show with an amazing performance. This was a very different opening compared to last year, which was Beyoncé and Jay Z singing “Drunk in Love”, but it was amazing nonetheless. Later on Madonna preformed a matador themed performance of “Living for Love”, which was of course so amazing. The Ed Sheeran performed with a couple of other people; one of them being John Mayer. He and John Mayer did a duet of “Thinking Out Loud”, and it was gorgeous. I mean, I already love that song, but with both of them together; it was to die for!

But then Hozier came out and he was sing “Take Me to Church”, and killing it by the way, but when he brought out Annie Lennox the house was brought down. This was probably one of my favorite performances of the whole night. When she started singing "I Put a Spell on You” I felt like she actually putting a spell on me, and I was mesmerized. Both of their vocals were AMAZING, and it left everyone watching in awe!

Pharrell later sang a really interesting version of happy. It started off really creepy and ending in its normally happy beat, complete with violinist and many dancers. Katy Perry sang a beautiful version of “By the Grace of God”, and the Usher sang a tribute to Stevie Wonder. Of course, Beyoncé closed the show, and she sang “Take My Hand, Precious Lord”. This was a very different side of Beyoncé, but it was so beautiful. This song reminded everyone how amazing Beyoncé’s voice really is.

Sam Smith left the Grammys wining four awards, which were best new artist, best pop vocal album, song of the year, and record of the year. Beck won best rock album and album of the year, which Kanye wasn’t to happy about since he tried to pull a Kanye and hop on stage to say why Beyoncé should have won. Beyoncé and Jay Z won best R&B performance for “Drunk in Love”, and best pop solo album went to Pharrell for “Happy”.

Grammys!

Hello everyone! So, the Grammys are this Sunday, and I am super excited! I can’t wait to see who wins each award (hopefully it is the people that I want to win…), and to see all of the performances. This year they have lots of amazing people set to preform, and I just can’t wait.

Some of the performers include Beyoncé, Katy Perry, Sam Smith, Madonna, John Mayer, Ed Sheeran, Sia, Ariana Grande, and many more. Sadly Taylor Swift will not be preforming, but maybe she will perform somewhere else instead. I am super excited about this year’s lineup, because it has lots of my favorite singers, and I am guessing they are other people’s favorites too. I am not sure what everyone is singing, but I do know that Katy Perry is singing “By the Grace of God”, which is one of the less popular songs on her Prism album. I am really excited to see this performance, because, if you remember from my Katy Perry Super Bowl review, I said that I wish they she did not just sing her most popular songs. Hopefully everyone’s performance is spectacular, and the all leave everyone watching in awe.

As for the nominees, I think that most of them are going to be really hard to decide. I many, for best pop vocal album they have:

Ghost Stories by Coldplay                             Bangerz by Miley Cyrus
My Everything by Ariana Grande                    Prism by Katy Perry
X by Ed Sheeran                                          In The Lonely Hour by Sam Smith


I honestly have no idea who will win the award. I feel that all of these albums are amazing and they all deserve to win.
