"There is nothing small about this Sunday night’s Billboard Music Awards at Las Vegas’ MGM Grand Garden Arena airing live on ABC at 8 ET hosted by “30 Rock”’s Tracy Morgan. Just consider for a moment the sheer star power of  those appearing: living legends like Prince and Madonna; pop superstars like Taylor Swift, Justin Bieber, Lil Wayne and Bruno Mars; and the next generation of luminaries like Macklemore & Ryan Lewis, Miguel, the Band Perry and Ed Sheeran, among many others.

Madonna will be honored with the Top Touring Artist award, an achievement earned by the worldwide success of her MDNA tour which sold out all of its 88 date run and was 2012's top-grossing tour with $305 million. It's the pop icon's latest chart landmark in a career full of them, including records for Hot 100 top 10 singles (38 of her overall 56 Hot 100 hits) and Dance Club Songs No. 1s (43). Her MDNA album bowed at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 -- her eighth trip to the penthouse -- with sales of 359,000.

Swift, fun. and Maroon 5 top the finalists at the 2013 awards, with each included in 11 categories. Rihanna competes in 10 categories, including Top Artist against Swift, Maroon 5, Justin Bieber and One Direction, while a pair of younger artists -- Carly Rae Jepsen and 1D themselves -- are finalists in nine and eight categories, respectively.
Billboard Music Awards finalists are based on key fan interactions with music, including album and digital singles sales, radio airplay, touring, streaming and social interactions on Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, VEVO, Spotify and other popular online destinations for music. These measurements were tracked year-round by Billboard and its data partners, including Nielsen Entertainment and Next Big Sound.

Valentine's Day Nails - Day 2

Day 2 of my 15 day Valentine's Day nail challenge with my friend Sarah (WildEdgyNails)

This nail art was actually inspired by a Valentine's Day mug I have in my cupboard that I use to drink tea! I didn't photograph myself holding it though. Instead the tones reminded me a lot of my bottle of Justin Bieber "Someday" perfume... similar colors... enjoy!

LOLZ!

Review of the 2012 AMA's

The 2012 American Music Awards took place on November 18th.

Usher opened the show with a medley of songs including "Numb" and "Climax." It was ok and on par with other Usher performances but not the best show opener.

I can't believe that Justin Bieber won best male against Flo Rida, Pitbull, and Usher. I thought Usher would win.

When they announced Best Country Female I knew that Taylor Swift would win. Only days before she had swept away all the awards at the EMA's so it was no surprise there.

Carly Rae Jepson's performance was tolerable because I like her song "This Kiss" but the performance was not very good because she didn't do anything really. She just stood around singing and it was boring to watch.

Kelly Clarkson's medley performance was amazing, she has really come a long way in the last 10 years. Her voice has become so strong and I really enjoyed hearing her sing.

I was happy that Nicki Minaj won for best rap artist and I really loved her outfit, she looked so much like a barbie doll.

Kesha's performance was very good and so was No Doubt's.

I usually don't like when Taylor Swift performs but when she sang "I Knew You Were Trouble" from her new album "Red" I was completely shocked because it is such a pop song that sound like the current music, rather than the boring country songs she always makes.

I was excited for Nicki Minaj to perform but she sang one her new songs that I did not know, rather than any of her great songs from "Roman Reloaded" so I was a little disappointed. I still love her though and thought the song was very powerful with all the choir singers joining in at the end.

I like Pink's new song "Try" and I couldn't believe that she would reenact the music video for her live performance. I have never really seen anyone do that before. The music video is so different to begin with so it was crazy to see that, and she did a great job.

I am shocked that Carly Rae Jepson won the Best New Artist award instead of One Direction because One Direction are so huge right now.

I really liked Justin Bieber's acoustic performance on "As Long As You Love Me" with only the guitar. His voice is getting better and he is on the right track. When it broke into "Beauty and a Beat" it wasn't as special anymore and he was lip syncing the chorus.

I was excited to see Christina Aguilera perform because I love her new song "Your Body" but of course she did not sing it! She sang some other new songs from her new album but I wasn't familiar with them so I didn't really care about the performance.

Pitbull's performance was ok, his songs are always good anyways.

I really loved Jenny Mccarthy's outfit, she looked great.

When Justin Bieber won the award for Artist of the Year and dragged his mom up to the stage with him I didn't even realize it was his mom at first. She is so young that I thought she might be his new girlfriend or something! But it was nice of him to thank her up on stage in front of everyone like that. She must be very proud.

The closing number of the show, "Gangnam Style" by Psy was the icing on the cake. I really like that song and it always excites me to hear it and when they had M.C. Hammer come out and they mashed it up with "Too Legit to Quit" it was just so electrifying. And that Hammer can still dance like he's a young guy!

Overall, I enjoyed the show.



Favorite Outfits

And this was pretty funny!

JB splits with Selena!

It's officially over..... Selena Gomez and Justin Bieber have split and I am not shocked, I was just waiting for this as soon as I heard about the relationship. How do you expect teenagers to stay in a meaningful relationship... it isn't realistic. They were cute together but oh well.

Perfume!

I want these perfumes!


Nicki Minaj









Justin Bieber












Snooki

Justin Bieber

Don't know if you have all seen this yet, but this is pretty funny and gross. Justin Bieber is "singing" at his concert (yeah right) and all of a sudden throws up.... was he feeling sick or was he drunk???

VMAS 2012 REVIEW

The 2012 VMAS took place on Thursday, September 6th.

Rihanna opened the show, showing off a new pixie cut... net very fond of it but she is lucky she can pull off everything.

Of the performances I enjoyed Pink
I liked Frank Ocean
I liked Alicia Keys
I enjoyed Taylor Swift

I was disappointed though that there were not enough big names like Beyonce, Lady GaGa, Justin Bieber, Usher, Ect... at the awards or performing so it was nothing special and kind of boring to me.

The best moment of the show for me was when Nicki Minaj won for best Pop Female, beating big names like Katy Perry, Rihanna, and even Beyonce, and the whole crowd was shocked, she was even shocked herself and she was so grateful and thankful so I am proud of her for her accomplishments.




VMA fashion picks

I loved Alicia Keys' Outfit

Honorable mentions
Nicki Minaj, Katy Perry, Rihanna

All in all, I didn't like the show so much and considered it a waste of time. Luckily this show is only 2 hours and that is not as long as most other award shows. Maybe it was just because Lady GaGa was not there or that she was snubbed by the show for any nominations, but anyways... maybe the show will be better next year!

My review of the 2011 VMAs

It's that time of year again... time for me to review the VMAs for 2011.

The Show got off to a good start with Lady GaGa opening. I liked her little monologue she spoke as her male counterpart "Jo Calderone." She is a very good actress and has taken theater classes so it is great seeing her put those skills to use. The performance was great and the vocals were spot on. It was great seeing her perform with Brian May of "Queen." And I couldn't believe my eyes when she had spilled beer all over the floor and then jumped down off the piano and slipped and fell. Luckily the cameras turned away when it happened so that it wasn't so noticeable. But it was great that she kept singing and didn't even show any sign that anything had happened. As they say... the show must go on!

     

Concerning fashion choices of the stars, I am not too fond of copycats. I like Nicki Minaj but COME ON. This is clearly something GaGa has worn.

 

And then there was Katy Perry's flop of an outfit...

It's like "Hey I'm Katy Perry I'm so cool because I wear weird shit and I'm so weird" 

but in reality everyone was like "wtf is that even supposed to be??? She tries to hard" at least that's what I thought.

 

And her oriental outfit wasn't nice either... EW. DO YOU GET DRESSED WITH YOUR EYES CLOSED OR WHAT.

 

I don't get how Katy Perry and Kanye West won best collaboration when Kanye's rap on E.T. was like thrown in the the beginning and end and in my opinion didn't even sound like it had anything to do with the song. I only ever even heard him in the song when I first saw the video. The song sounded perfectly fine without his little out of place addition. On top of that when Kanye and Katy went up on the stage to accept the award, Katy makes a crack about his little VMA interruption from 2 years ago even though it has long passed. He did not seem very pleased and he must have really been holding back on saying something to her. She was so annoying with her whole "Omg this is my first VMA!!!!111" garbage and Kanyes like "umm I got tons of these...?" GTFO Katy Perry lol

The 'performance' by Chris Brown was really good and I really enjoyed it even though he didn't sing. The dancing was great and the flying through the air was something to see. I still don't forgive him for beating up Rihanna but oh well.... speaking of Rihanna... where was she and why wasn't she at the VMAs???

ADELE's performance was long and boring and very shitty in my opinion. And the whole time I was wondering out loud "how the fuck does anyone like this???" I just don't get it. What is so special about this girl??? I don't understand how it is always a fight for #1 on the billboard and itunes charts for Adele and Lady GaGa... In my opinion there is no competition when it comes to Lady GaGa but maybe there is something wrong with this world.

Beyonce's performance was cute and I was so shocked to hear that she is 4 months pregnant. She showed her tummy at the end of her performance and it was HUGEEEE!!!

The tribute to Britney Spears was great but way too short and they didn't do enough of her music videos. But it was pretty cool to see all of those Britneys prancing around on the same stage lol! Britney was really happy and I think she liked it a lot. It was funny when GaGa tried to kiss Britney like Britney and Madonna did a few years back on the VMAs but Britney is on strict watch by her dad (so I've read in tabloid magazines) and if she would have done it she would have been in a lot of trouble because she is trying to portray this wholesome young girl image and they don't want her doing anything unplanned or strange that could affect her career and her wellbeing. Basically they don't want her having another mental breakdown again so everything she does is planned out, she isn't even allowed having a cell phone or going anywhere or saying anything on her own... poor girl. Anyways... I know if she had kissed Gaga it would have been so amazing and it would be the talk of the year and I know she really wanted to do it but she knew deep down inside for the sake of her career and reputation that she couldn't do it because they don't want her to get any bad press :(

  

The tribute to Amy Winehouse was great too and I thought Bruno Mars really did the song justice.

Pitbull's Performance was pretty good :)

Lil Wayne's performance was like ummmmmmmm keep your shirt on :P

Oh and Jessie J's commercial performances were amazing, if only we could have hear the whole things!

(But this outfit was definitely a Lady GaGa copy booo)

FAV MOMENT:

Priceless was Justin Biebers face when he saw Jo Calderone

Ahahaha Funny Stuff

2 funny skits from Saturday Night Live

This one is a fake movie trailer for The Roomate with Justin Beiber


And this one is a fake movie trailer for Beastly with Miley Cyrus

GRAMMYS 2011 REVIEW

Here's is my review of the 2011 Grammy awards.

I watched the 60 minutes interview with Anderson Cooper and Lady GaGa and it got me all pumped up to see GaGa at the Grammys



I was excited when GaGa made her red carpet appearance in an giant egg, it was very mysterious and held a lot of meaning.

Then GaGa's performance was pretty good, and again very meaningful and fitting along well with the idea behind the song.

Gaga won 3 awards: Best Female Pop Vocal Performance, Best Pop Vocal Album, and Best Short Form Music Video.

 

 

GaGa after the show backstage (Wow Beyonce has gone so blonde!)

As for the rest of the show...

Well I kind of liked the beginning when Christina Aguilera sang the Aretha Franklin tribute with the other girls but she put on a lot of weight!

Janelle Monet & B.O.B. & Bruno Mars was cool and creative, I didn't mind it.

Usher & Justin Beiber & Jaden Smith was ok but I would have rather heard them sing Somebody to Love.

Katy Perry... meh... it was ok.

Cee Lo Green & Gwenyth Paltrow.... Wow I didn't know Gwenyth could sing and she is actually pretty good, she's in the wrong business ha ha!

Eminem & Rihanna could have been good if Rihanna had practiced how to sing :(

Rihanna & Drake... again Rihanna needs to practice her voice some more.

I loved Nicki Minaj's outfit, so cute.

Loved JLo's hair even though it's probably extensions

Oh and big shocker.... I was like why is Johnny Depp at the Grammys and then I heard it's John Mayer and I'm like whattttttt??? They could be twins!!!

 

Interesting show I guess but somewhat disappointing and little bit of a waste of time. I don't know who picked the Grammy nominees and especially who picked the Grammy winners... but they messed up big time.

A lot of artists and songs that got nominated shouldn't have been. There were better choices than the ones they picked. And the winners from those terrible choices were even worse. Maybe the Grammy committee people picked winner names from a hat, it seems to be the only logical explanation for this abomination of a show... I'm still so shocked.

Album of the year..... Arcade Fire??? Are you joking me! At least give it to Eminem if you're gonna steal it from GaGa.

BOOOOO! 

Here is GaGa's Grammy performance from last year to bring back some old memories

 

GaGa Beebs

I found this and thought it was hilarious!

AMAs

Just finished watching the American Music Awards tonight in hopes of seeing GaGa win artist of the year... LADY GAGA WAS ROBBED OF THE AWARD BY JUSTIN BIEBER!!! What a disappointment!

LOL

LADY GAGA IS PWNING JUSTIN BIEBER LOL!!!

The VMAS!

Lady GaGa was nominated for 13 awards last night at the VMAs, becoming a record for most award nominations. She went home with 8 awards in total. 2 nominations were for her performance in Beyonce's "Video Phone" music video, so it was more like GaGa won 8/11. 

Way to go momma monster, I don't know how you ever thought you weren't going to win! Every time they showed the nominees and GaGa was included I felt so much suspense but when she began winning each award I knew she would reign over everyone and take them all!

I am a bit disappointed that she was not a performer because I knew she would have done something amazing, I hope she will perform next year.

Overall, I liked the show. There were several performances that were boring and I wanted to change the channel but I tried to keep my calm... LOL!

These are the outfits Lady GaGa wore for the ceremony

My favorite moment was when GaGa won her last award and revealed the title of her upcoming album and sang a verse from the song! Her voice was so amazing!!!

Born This Way

I Loved the performance by Usher

Loved Eminem

The others were okay. Except I hated Taylor Swift's boring performance and overall boring voice that is really nothing special... I don't know why they let her waste our time. And Florence + Machine... she has a good voice but I never heard of her and couldn't enjoy her performance because it was a little too weird.

Justin Beiber... apparently he was lipsyncing... LOL well I'm not a fan of his although I'm not a hater, I respect the boy and thought his performance was okay, but it wasn't cool that he would be lipsyncing. However his voice has changed and gotten a bit deeper and surely will get way deeper over time (I don't know what will happen to his career but we will have to wait and see). I liked when he played the drums because I didn't know he could play... so yeah I am neutral with him.

The Host... Chelsea Handler... I didn't really like any of her "jokes" which were more like insults. I thought her entrance was kind of funny though when she came down from the ceiling with a house on her head to Bad Romance, which was an obvious impression of GaGa.

Kanye West... well he was last to perform and there was a lot of hype about what his performance would be like and if Taylor Swift would try to interrupt him. I did kind of like his performance although when I heard him start singing the chorus of his new song "Runaway"

"Let's have a toast for the douchebags,
Let's have a toast for the assholes,
Let's have a toast for the scumbags,
Every one of them that I know
Let's have a toast to the jerkoffs
That'll never take work off
Baby, I got a plan
Run away fast as you can"

I was like "Ummmmm what?????"

But I still think it was a pretty interesting performance and worth the wait, I guess.

Let us still not forget what he did to Taylor Swift last year!

Aside from that, I really loved the futuristic VMA set and loved that Deadmau5 was deejaying the whole event.

Well, what else to say except Congratulations Lady GaGa, my mother monster, we did it honeybee!

On that note, I will leave you with a video of her famous performance from last years VMAs

Mwah!
