Gleeks Unite.

A person can't know what Glee is, it's just impossible with all the buzz about it. Not everyone knows exactly what it is, but they definitely know it exists, especially with the second season starting this month. Glee is a TV-series following, well, a glee club. Over the time of the series, watchers get involved in each story line. Some story lines are just silly, while others hit the heart a little harder. Not only are the stories in this show amazing, but the music just adds to it entirely. It's not one of the musical type of shows, meaning that they don't just break out into song out of no where to tell what they're feeling. It's much smarter than that. The students use the songs the Glee Club pick out, or they pick out themselves. Either way, the songs work to add so much more emotion and feeling to the television show. The songs are not just pop songs playing on the radio today. They are 80's songs, slow jams, country songs, light rock, hardcore rock, anything and everything. Catch it on every Tuesday at 8. You'll be sure to have your feet tapping.

Maroon 5: Hands All Over

Maroon 5 has come out with a new, almost mind blowing, album. This American rock band has come a long way since their ordinary beginnings. The band got their start as a small garage band, called "Kara's Flowers", in high school. These flowers have definitely bloomed. They bloomed into a stunning band. Their third, and latest, album is titled "Hands All Over". It came out just a week ago, and it is already making it's way up on the charts. I believe that everyone should have their hands all over this album. From pop-y songs, to smooth jams, each track has a meaning, not just mindless lyrics like some artists these days. Pick it up when you can, you will not regret it.

Video Music Awards

The Video Music Awards have been a big event in the music world since 1984. Every year, it is a gathering of almost every single artist, actress, actor, or entertainer imaginable. The show is to award awards in many different categories to different artist. I believe that in the recent years, it has been less and less about the music, and more and more about the artist's hijinks. Last year's VMA show was best known for the Kanye West and Taylor Swift fiasco which was talked about everywhere for weeks after it. Teen pop artist, Taylor Swift, was awarded "Best Female Video". Just seconds after it was awarded, ego-filled rapper, Kanye West, stepped in, stole the mic, and claimed that Beyonce should be the actual winner of the award. This year was much tamer, although some people did have their own opinions about the awards, it was kept to themselves this year.

I'm sure that almost everyone knows who this is. Lady Gaga is one of the most controversial artists in the business today. Just by her name, you can tell she's unique from anyone else out there. Her top hits include "Just Dance" "Poker Face" "Paparazzi" "Telephone" and more recently, "Alejandro". Each pop song is catchy, but Gaga usually finds a way to add a deeper meaning to each one. She never really gives the exact meaning in any interviews, and it keeps the listener guessing, especially for her latest song, Alejandro. Her performances and songs, make her seem wild and crazy. To others, she is a big hero for providing good music, doing what she loves, and doing it in her own unique way. 

Jonas Brothers and Demi Lovato

These are some of the biggest teen sensations in today's music. From left to right we have Joe, Demi, Nick, and Kevin. The boys being the Jonas Brothers, and Demi is her own solo career. Ask any teen in today's generation and these artists are big, whether they like them or not. These days, especially, they are causing quite a stir. They are currently on tour to promote their music, and also to promote their newest movie together, Camp Rock 2. It's easy to say that these young adults are definitely making waves in today's music. Watch out for them. As big as they are, I'm excepting even more fame in the future.

First Post.

Hello readers,
Welcome to my blog. Here's my chance to talk about something very important to me; music. Music is a big passion of mine, and is also a big part of who I am. I'm not saying I'm a big musician myself, I'm only an amateur. However, the amount of talent I have does not define the amount of love I have for this art form. Expect multiple genres of music here, from the pop sensations climbing the top charts, to the humble underground artists. Hope you enjoy!
