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”.

What did you think of this year’s Grammys? Was it everything you were expecting, or did you want more? Comment below?

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.

What do you think is going to happen at this year’s Grammys? Comment below!

One last thing, there is this YouTuber , and her name is Leighannsays. She is amazing, and she has a giveaway going on for some really awesome makeup stuff. If you are interested, you should definitely go check it out. Just click this link https://gleam.io/kxOCf-VAqziT.

Katy Perry vs Taylor Swift?

Hello everyone! How has your day been today? Today I am going to talk about the Katy Perry and Taylor Swift drama. For those of you who don’t know what I am talking about, apparently Katy and Taylor have had a feud for a while now. I think it started because Katy stole one of Taylor Swift’s backup dancers, but I have heard a couple different things. Either way, rumor has it that Katy and Taylor do not like each other at all.

I am not really sure if the rumors are true though. I mean, some sources say that Taylor Swift’s song “Bad Blood” is about Katy Perry. Although in the song she talks about how they use to be mad love, and even though that could be about Katy, knowing Taylor Swift I feel that it is about an ex. Katy also tweeted to “watch out for the Regina George in sheep's clothing...”, but again that could have been about anyone, and everyone is just assuming that this is about Taylor. I mean I am pretty sure that both of them have more important things to worry about, and don’t have time to tweeting and writing songs, all because of a backup dancer.

On the other hand, this could be true. I mean sometimes when you are fighting to be more successful them someone else, it can cause conflict. And maybe the backup dancer is not the whole story. Maybe something else happened and that is why they don’t like each other.

If they are really fighting, it would be really sad. I mean, both of them are amazing singers, and they are awesome at what they do. Why should they be fighting, when working together would make them stronger in the end? Also, all of this drama has caused people to start picking sides. People are either team Taylor or team Katy. Although, truthfully, not one of them is better than the other. I mean they are both extremely successful, so why just chose one?

Do you think the rumors are true, or do you think Katy and Taylor are BFFs? Comment below!

 I hope you have an amazing rest of the day, and see you tomorrow. Bye!

Should Miley Be Famous?

Do you remember the days when Miley Cyrus was just a country girl who was a pop star by night?  Nope… me either. Miley has change a lot over the past couple of years, and it is hard to remember the innocent girl she used to be. I find it funny that in 2010, everyone was flipping out because of Miley’s “I Can’t Be Tamed” video came out. Everyone said that it was horrific and wildly inappropriate! Now when we compare that video with her videos today it looks like good clean family entertainment. Who knew getting a haircut could change a person so much.

Most people today, when they think of Miley, they think of wrecking balls, giant teddy bears, and a girl who never seems to have enough clothes. She loves to push the boundaries, and she how far she can go. The question is does she deserve to be famous?

Many people would say NO. They believe that she is a bad example for young children, and that she has no talent at all. I mean if she had talent then why would she have to go on stage half naked just to get people talking. They want to hold on to the old Miley, and the image that she presented, even though she has made it pretty clear that the old Miley is long gone.

Other people would say YES. Die-hard Smilers think that Miley is queen, and the crazier she gets the more they love her. You know how fandoms are? They are obsessed with their favorite celebrity, and they are willing to fight to the death to defend them. In their eyes Miley can do no wrong and no matter what she does they will support her with their tongues sticking out.

Personally I feel that Miley does deserve to be famous. I think that she have worked her tweaking butt off to get where she is, and she deserves all of the success that she has. However, I feel that all of the craziness is unnecessary. She does not need to go on stage and act like a fool to get noticed; her voice is amazing enough. I mean have you every listened to “Wrecking Ball” without the video. It is AMAZING! That girl can SING. Adding all the extra stuff just distracts from the fact that Miley is an awesome singer, and that is why she has made it this far.

What do you think? Is Miley queen, or should we just forget about her? Comment below!

Bruce Jenner Sex Change?

Hello everyone! Today I am going to talk about Bruce Jenner. Bruce Jenner has been in the news lately because, apparently, he is having a sex change. All over the internet people are going crazy because a former gold metal Olympian is getting a sex change. Many sources “close to the family” are reveling that it is true, and that the whole family is try to cope with the idea of Bruce being a women. I just find it really fun that the actual family has nothing to say, but those sources (which are always 100% true) are more than happy to talk about his personal life. Maybe it is just me, but I feel that if someone told me something that big, I would not go around telling the whole world.

This whole story is getting really out of hand. Some magazines are photo shopping his face with makeup, and saying that it is proof. For one thing they could have spent way more time on trying to make it look at least a little more believable. The other thing is that even if he did want to be a woman, that doesn’t mean he wants to walk around with a face full of makeup.

Some people are even blaming the Kardashisan. They think that they somehow brain washed him into magically wanting to be a girl. I am sorry, but if I were a guy, and I saw how much time and effort the Kardashians spend every day on hair and makeup, I would never want to be a woman. But maybe that is just me.

Honestly, I am not really sure whether I believe this or not. I want to say it is not true, but part of me thinks it is possible. I mean this is not the first time someone has gotten a sex change, and it actual happened a lot. Just because he was once and Olympian does mean that he does want to be a woman. I just find it kind of fishy that he is 65 and just figuring it out that he wants to be a woman. Also this is not the first time people have been talking about this. Many years ago people said the same thing, and if it wasn’t true then, what makes it true now. Either way I hope that Bruce makes the right choice for himself and he does what he wants. No matter what happens he will still be a person who won some metals and divorced Kris Jenner.

Do you think the rumors are true? Will Bruce Jenner no longer be a man? Comment below.

Thanks for reading! Bye!  

Katy Perry's Super Bowl Preformance

Hello everyone! How has your day been today? Today I am going to talk about the super bowl half time show with Katy Perry. For the past month this performance has been getting tons of buzz. Everyone was wondering what she was going to do, and if it was going to be the best performance we have ever seen or just a waste of time. I was personally really excited, mainly because I love me some Katy P.  Unfortunately many people found the performance to be underwhelming. The media had been making it seem like this was going to blow all of our socks off, and sadly it never really did. Don’t get me wrong she sounded and looked great, but something just wasn’t right.

The beginning was amazing. The first thing you saw was Katy on a giant lion singing “Roar”. When I say giant I mean GIANT. That thing was massive. Next thing you know she was on a chess board that defied gravity, singing “Dark Horse” and it was AMAZING. During all of this she was in a flame outfit. (Which to be honest wasn’t my favorite.)

 Then she sang “I Kissed A Girl” with Lenny Kravitz, and I think they both sounded really good.

Next you see this beach scene with dancing sharks and beach balls. It was so cute! But this is where I started to question how much I like the performance. When I saw the background I thought that she might sing her song “This Is How We Do” which I love, but instead she started singing “Teenage Dream” and I was really confused. Of course after that she sang “California Girls” which was… okay.

During all of this Katy also had back up dancers that had on polka dot bikinis, and most people said that this is when she took a stab at Taylor Swift ( since Taylor has a bikini just like them), but I feel that people are just trying to come up with something.

 After that Missy Elliot came onstage, and she kind of looked like Janet Jackson and “Rhythm Nation”, but no hate she was good.

After that Katy finished the show with “Firework” on a shooting star. Again I feel that the song was not the best choice.

 Overall I liked it, but I feel that she could have done way better songs. She only did her most over popularized song, when lots of her other songs are way better. I feel that the song selection is what turned most people off. What she did was expected and people wanted to be amazed!

What did you thing of Katy’s performance? Did you love it? Did you hate it? Comment below.

I hope you all have an amazing day and thanks for reading!
