Album Reviews
This week, I caught up on some albums that I needed to finish listening to. So far I finished Take Care by Drake and Our Version of Events by Emeli Sandé. I still Born to Die, Watch the Throne and My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy left to listen to through.
Take Care by Drake
So, Drake’s album Take Care was pretty fascinating I must say. The sonic sounds, smooth feel, and chill production...

Why are people equating not speaking with not acting? Jean Dujardin did a fantastic job and I’m glad he won. Brad was my 2nd choice but Jean deserved it. And I wish Viola would have won for The Help since it’s fairly difficult for a black actress to win and she was phenomenal but go Meryl. 17 nominations with only 2 wins was completely unfair.

It's funny
It’s funny to see the Harry Potter fans get so mad about the fact that the series didn’t win an Oscar this year or that Alan Rickman wasn’t nominated. Don’t get me wrong I’m a Harry Potter fan. But, did y’all actually watch the other films? Do you know anything about film or award shows? Lord have mercy.

omg yes its jizz
Bahahahah. It reminds me a lot of 4. I like how smooth and downtempo it is. All these songs are pretty fucking perfect.

tekiriak replied to your post: Roman Reloaded
I’m so scared her album’s gonna be shit.
In a way, I kinda am too, but this is her first song from the album I legitimately dislike. “Starships” is fun, “Holiday” is dramatic but I still love it. “Stupid Hoe” is ridiculous but I still enjoy it and “Moscow” is pretty hardcore, but way better than this...

Roman Reloaded
I didn’t like it. And the hook was kind of annoying. When’s Roman Holiday coming out?

Robyn Rihanna Fenty.
What the fuck. Chris Brown? Really? You’re going to let a woman-beater back into your life without having so much as addressed what he did to you? I’m sorry but I can’t support you any longer. Sorry RiRi but I’m no longer a fan of yours.

I’m sorry Rihanna, but I can’t support your remix of “Birthday Cake” if it includes Chris Brown. Lord, girl. What the hell.

People are so dumb.
philipwunelle:
Lady Gaga already has 5 Grammys to her name, and if you honestly thought anything other than Adele was going to win, you’re just dumb. 21 was the album of the year, whether you’re a fan or not. Get over it. They both have amazing careers and talent, omg Gaga didn’t win a Grammy this year; big deal. Their lives and careers don’t revolve around shiny trophies, I’m sure she’s still...

Final Thoughts
Overall, I liked this year’s Grammys. Adele swept with 6 wins followed by Kanye West who won four. The only Grammys I seriously had problems with Skrillex picking up so many especially since I feel like Robyn got snubbed. Yes, dubstep is the trend but honestly, I feel like his music is completely overrated and someone (Robyn) got overlooked because of this trend. And then Chris Brown’s...

Grammy Performances (So Far) Pt. III
“It Had to Be You” - Tony Bennett & Carrie Underwood: Carrie did such a good job! The song was fantastic and their vocals were wonderful. Loved it.
“I Will Always Love You” - Jennifer Hudson: Perfect. Just perfection. Jennifer Hudson was restrained enough to not overdo the song (a problem which comes frequently with the song). It was a touching rendition of it and the...

Yes.
Nicki wins. I’m so glad that they saved “Roman Holiday” for last. Literally, the most over-the-top, spectacular performance I’ve ever seen. And I loved every second of it. Can’t wait ‘til Roman Reloaded comes out.

Seriously.
Where is the Amy Winehouse tribute? Or can someone at least mention her? I mean she picked up a Grammy since she won with Tony Bennett for “Body and Soul”
EDIT: Finally. But, there seriously should’ve been a tribute. She single-handedly reintroduced soul and jazz music into the mainstream. Because of her people like Duffy, Corinne Bailey Rae, Adele and Florence and the Machine...

Grammy Performances (So Far) Pt. II
“Surfer Girl” / “Wouldn’t It Be Nice” / “Good Vibrations” - Maroon 5, Foster the People & Beach Boys: So, the first part of the mash-up sung by Maroon 5 and Foster the People was cute and a perfect tribute. I really enjoyed the whole thing. It slowed down considerably once The Beach Boys joined them, but it was still one of the better performances.

The fuck.
Okay, again, I don’t like Chris Brown. I think he’s a whiny bitch that should’ve gotten tossed in jail for his crimes. And no, Chris, we aren’t giving you too much. You beat a woman senseless and you deserve the fault.
Regardless, that Grammy does not belong to you. Critically, his album received the lowest score out of all the other nominees, according to Metacritic.

Grammy Performances (So Far)
“We Take Care of Our Own” - Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band: So, the opening performance. Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band. It was alright. Not the best song to open the night with. Bruce is a talented performer and the vocals were on point but it was kinda boring honestly.
“Runaway Baby” - Bruno Mars: I don’t really like Bruno Mars. His songs make me...

“Give me all your love boy You can be my boy, you can be my boy toy In the nick of time, I can say a sicker rhyme Cause it’s time for change, like a nickel or a dime”
I’m like slightly obsessed with Nicki’s verse in “Give Me All Your Luvin’”
