Grammys & Newly Released Albums

"Music doesn't lie. If there is something to be changed in this world, then it can only happen through music."

Hello everyone!

How are you all? Are you excited for Valentine's Day? Just wanted to say that I am still working on the getting artist interviews done and will hopefully be blogging about those soon! Can't wait, I'm really excited! :)

Thought I'd use this time to catch up on what's going on in the music world right now. Did any of you catch the Grammys? Beyonce took home 6/10 she was nominated for and Taylor Swift won 4/8 of the ones she was nominated for, including Album of the Year! If you didn't get to watch the performances, which by the way were AMAZING, check them out on YouTube (www.youtube.com). Beyonce, Lady Gaga w/Elton John, Black Eyed Peas, Green Day, Pink, Lady Antebellum, Taylor Swift, Drake, and others performed! Also, if you get the chance, check out the Michael Jackson tribute that was performed by Carrie Underwood, Smokey Robinson, Jennifer Hudson, Celine Dion, and Usher!! Overall, it was a great award show, congrats to the winners...you can go here http://www2.grammy.com/grammy_awards/Winners/ to see a complete list of winners.

Also, a lot of great albums came out this past Tuesday!!

To name just a few:

Lifehouse-Smoke and Mirrors
Lil Wayne-Rebirth

Toni Braxton-Pulse

Upcoming albums that I'll probably check out (February 23...check them out if you can!!)
