Grammys 2011: No Big Shock

Clearly the Recording Academy was getting high with Miley Cyrus and Seth Rogen, because the results of this year's Grammys were less than exciting. Let's not even mention that Beliebers everywhere were ready to start an uproar akin to the likes of Egypt.
 Despite her incubated entrance to the show, Gaga's performance was somewhat normal and entertaining. Jennifer Hudson shined in a tribute to Aretha Franklin, and Usher is still lip syncing. Justin Bieber and Jaden Smith were adorable, while Rihanna and Eminem lost their superstar power during "Love the Way You Lie."
Who in creation is Arcade Fire? I guarantee "Esperanza" was the most Googled term today. It's sad that more people have heard of The King's Speech, than musicians who won music's highest honor. All in all I wouldn't have expected anything different from the Grammys. Young artists get snubbed, no names get recognized, and viewers are left hoping for a change next year.
Check out the complete list of Grammy winners here.

What will 2011 Entertain Us With?

Thor: A comic book classic starring Chris Hemsworth and Anthony Hopkins. Liam Hemsworth tried out for this film, but his older brother won the battle. This film has been buzzed about for over a year, and its coming to a theater near you May 2011!  


LOL: A remake of a 2008 French film starring Miley Cyrus, Ashley Greene, Demi Moore, Douglas Booth, and Adam Sevani. When Cyrus signed onto the script, Hollywood was abuzz, since her character kisses a girl, smokes, and has sex. I say, "Hannah who?" This comedic flick has a great storyline, and is sure to hit close to home for mothers and daughters everywhere.


Joe Jonas' Solo Album: I was never sure if the middle Jo Bro could measure up to his younger brother Nick's talent and suave. After some solos in Camp Rock 2, I'm sure there is plenty of space in the music world for a solo side project from Joe Jonas.


Justin Bieber's 3-D Concert Movie: 3-D Concert movies are the new smart phones for musicians. Girls everywhere will get to be with Justin via the big screen this coming Valentine's Day.


So Undercover: For someone who said she was "taking a break", Miley Cyrus sure is working a lot. Starring Cyrus, Kelly Osbourne, and Joshua Bowman, this action-comedy directed by Tom Vaughn will hopefully be a better view than the ever so hyped about Bounty Hunter.


Demi Lovato: Ms. Lovato is set to release a new album in 2011 and will also tour (minus some Jonas Brothers) to promote her new tunes.


Smurfs: Katy Perry as a Smurf. Enough said.


Taylor Swift's World Tour: Bringing Fearless everywhere. You too can breathe the same air as Taylor Swift.

Girls Still Rule: You Had to Hear 2010

I miss the days when we "Kissed a Girl", told a "Love Story", and always knew we'd "See You Again", but alas time must pass and new music must be created. These albums are the best pop music that 2010 produced (in no particular order). The girls still rule in 2010. Female artists continue to own the airwaves, but I threw some males that may appeal to you as well. 



Teenage Dream by Katy Perry: This album is a mix of happy, serious, and flirty, all rolled into a little plastic disk that smell like cotton candy. Great lyrics mixed with great beats.
Can't Be Tamed by Miley Cyrus: The sales of this album doesn't reflect it's brilliance. The music and lyrics are empowering. I will be doing my "Liberty Walk" right into 2011. 


Raymond Vs. Raymond by Usher: Chart topper, need I say more? "I came to dance..." and I do everyday in my car with Usher!




Rated R by Rihanna: Don't let Rihanna be overshadowed by Eminem. Eminem needed Rihanna to make a comeback. This album is truly awesome. It has a provocative, hip- hop that you won't be able to turn off.  


My World 2.0 by Justin Bieber: The Biebs has had an amazing year, making hits with Usher and lots of "less lonely girls", if you haven't heard anything from this album, you've definitely missed out on some ground breaking pop culture.


The Beginning by The Black Eyed Peas: One of the best comeback groups ever, 'The Peas have a hoppin album with ultimate chart topping potential.  
 

Speak Now by Taylor Swift: This highly anticipated album "Swiftly" chronicles the life and relationships of Nashville's favorite country sweetheart.

The 2011 Grammy Nominations: Big Announcement, Bigger Flop

Below is a list of the 2010 Grammy Nominations. According to the Recording Academy, "The GRAMMYs are the only peer-presented award to honor artistic achievement, technical proficiency and overall excellence in the recording industry, without regard to album sales or chart position." I'm not sure this is entirely true. Most of these artists have had incredible sales, and were number one on at least one chart (not that this makes them less talented). Ryan Seacrest could have announced the Grammy Nominees from his AT40 radio show. All of these chart topping artists are very good, but there exists a lack of variety in style and a lack of talented songwriters. Something is wrong in the music industry when Cee Lo Green's F-U is nominated for "Song of the Year".  
There is no longer any distinction between the Kid's Choice Awards, the VMA's, the AMA's, or the Grammy's. Awards Season consists of The Oscars and "The Pop Culture Awards". It's cool that Justin Bieber is being recognized on the young Hollywood scene, and age should not be a factor in whether one could win an award. His nomination seems like one more plea to the younger generation to actually be interested in awards season.
What's your take on the Grammy nominations this year?

Good Directions Versus the Right Destination






I've been chatting with filmmakers and entertainers in the last couple of weeks regarding "breaking into the business." The first thing everyone talks about is "making connections." How you make the connections, and hone your craft is where the answers aren't as easy. Success in Hollywood often appears as if it were handed to some stars, but natural ability is a main component.
Justin Bieber was a YouTube sensation, Greyson Chance was the same, but outside of the select people that "discovered" them, these boys have an audience (more like millions of fans) who back their performances and talent.
Katy Perry earned her GED during her freshman year of high school, in order to concentrate on her music career. She sang Gospel music, backup for Miley Cyrus, and now is known as everyone's favorite "California Girl." No formula exists for success in the entertainment industry, persistence and passion are the substance to mold your own statue of success. 

Miley Cyrus never would have had that blonde wig if it weren't for persistence, and confidence in her own abilities. It took Cyrus four or five trips to Los Angeles before her face was finally branded "Hannah Montana." After moving to L.A. to pursue his dream, Kyle Massey was on his way to the airport, thinking that acting wasn't in his cards when he got the call about "That's So Raven." Even Steven Spielberg, arguably Hollywood's most famous director, worked his way from intern to contracted director for the biggest studio in L.A. What will your E! True Hollywood Story say about you? The only way to find out if a career in entertainment is for you is to use your talents in any way possible. As Katy Perry relates in her song, "Firework," "...maybe a reason why all the doors are closed, so you can open one that leads you to the perfect road..."  Pave your own road and let your dreams guide the way.

Prayers, Forgiveness, Love, and Fireworks- 2010 AMAs


Young stars absolutely rocked the 2010 American Music Awards. Although I'm not a converted "Belieber," my favorite performance was Justin Bieber. His song "Pray" was soulful and heartfelt, and the best any live performance I've heard Justin do. Bieber was the big winner with four awards, taking home the biggest prize, "Artist of the Year." Miley Cyrus had a hard time holding back tears (as did I) while she sang "Forgiveness and Love," which was a last minute decision to perform in lieu of promoting her upcoming single, "Every Rose."  Katy Perry's "Firework" and Pink's "Raise Your Glass" added to the positive vibe of performances from the night, doing what music does best, lift up its listeners. At this time of turmoil in the world, words to songs like these are inspiring to people from all walks of life.
Taylor Swift left something to be desired, ripping off One Republic's "Apologize" while singing "Back to December," Swift blasted back to the 2008 hit. All in all, the 2010 American Music Awards should go down in history as one to remember. 2010: The year of Bieber and Boy Bands...

Beliebers and TwiHards Unite! Teen Choice Awards 2010




Spoiler Alert! Teen Choice Awards winners 2010 announced! I'm not sure how entertaining it can get without ice cream carts (sigh). Katy Perry is the host which always equates to some craziness, but there's not too much for the press to pick apart. No surprises on this years winner's list- Twilight and Justin Bieber steal the show. The Jonas Brothers were absent from any music related category- but did pick up an award for showing off their acting skills in JONAS. The Teen Choice Awards represents what's hot at the moment and this is it. If you haven't seen Twilight and you don't own a copy or two of My World 2.0, face it, you're not cool!
Liam Hemsworth picked up the award for breakout male in The Last Song, but favorite drama went to  The Blind Side. Really? It's like the Oscars all over again! Choice Liplock was a duel of real- life movie couples and Robsten won. All I'm going to say to the voters is that Liam Hemsworth is a much better smoocher than Robert Pattinson. (Please don't beat me up Miley). Miley Cyrus did, after all win choice hissy fit, but then again who didn't have some choice names for her after the way she told Greg Kinnear "Do you not get that," in her Nicholas Sparks drama.
Demi Lovato was robbed again, but, she doesn't need a surfboard to feel the love. Her BFF Selena Gomez picked up a few awards including 2 for her group Selena Gomez and The Scene. Check out the winners for yourself. This year's voter turnout was quite disappointing with only 85 million votes compared to last year's 100 million votes. The numbers are even more disappointing considering that teens are allowed to vote once a day. It's nice to see some new names and faces on the ballot, but judging from the numbers the fans aren't impressed with a change in scenery in their pop culture world.
