Grammy Nominations suck this year. Nothing for Icona Pop or Pet Shop Boys or Miley Cyrus or Ariana Grande. But hey at least Lorde and Robin Thicke got nominated for every drat thing they did. (Also, does anyone actually listen to Sara Barielles? All of her music just screams "grocery store playlist" to me.)

I love Sara Bareilles.  Once you get past "Love Song" you find a lot of variety, wonderful lyrics, and an amazing voice. And she's got a great sense of humor.For starters, this song from her latest album, Hercules, doesn't really strike me as 'grocery music'. And for something that sounds completely different from the same album, there's also Islands. And one of her earliest songs, City, really made me sit up and pay attention when I was listening to her first album (because of Love Song) on Spotify. It made me a fan, and I only really discovered it this August. So yeah, that's why I'm hoping she wins Album of the Year.

Fairly safe choices on the whole, but that's par for course with the Grammys.

"Young and Beautiful" vs. "Skyfall" is the showdown to watch of alt-popstars with "adel" in their names and matching tattoos "Roar" vs. "Brave" for irony purposes

I thought Ed Sheeran had been nominated already? Or can you only not be elgible for BNA if you were nominated and won?

I really don't like this song, but I still think it's fun to see her going on doing her stuff even though she experienced a lot of pure rage and hate when she had just released Friday. Keep on going, Rebecca!

I normally think I'm pretty open-minded in the sense that I can say "I hate this, but I see why other people like it." But I don't get why people enjoy him or his music.

"Blurred Lines" had an infectious beat that was reminiscent of the great Marvin Gaye's "Got to Give it Up," but generally, he's like a very poor man's Justin Timberlake, who comes across like a sleazy creep at all times.

Lord Krangdar posted:Surprised nobody posted Lana Del Rey's new short film / triple music video Tropico: Lana pursued a degree in Metaphysics, and this still seems to be what drives her, or at least she was moving back in that direction with Paradise. This is why Lorde completely missed the point by saying that Lana's lyrics were "unhealthy." "Gods and Monsters" as a microcosm of Born to Die seems to reveal here that they are meant to embody spiritual yearning, something profoundly uncool to discuss in 2013. "Body Electric" echoes the "Blue Jeans" video with the serpent and crocodiles. And is the "Bel Air" segment meant to be an elaborate subversion of Katy Perry's "ET" video? I am talking about her too much. Uhh, is anyone psyched for the John Mayer/Katy Perry video? Britney Jean? No? Okay. Mermaid Autopsy fucked around with this message at 08:47 on Dec 8, 2013 |

Her last few albums were very lazy, not to mention the last one was released ages ago. It's been a while since she released anything noteworthy, and she really needs a big crossover hit from her next album to get back into the public consciousness.

Janet can pretty much do whatever she wants at this point, she's both hella rich and married to a hella rich dude, and has been writing books and starring in Tyler Perry movies and going on Greatest Hits tours and has a fashion line.

The stuff she did with funny or die a few years ago shows that she didn't take any of the ridiculous outrage over her song that seriously, which is kind of a big deal for a seventh grader.

No months of hype, no messing around, just here's a new album, surprise! Brilliant move. And apparently there are music videos for all the songs on it too. You have to admire such a brave move like this.

And also kinda amazing, because god knows what sort of hate mail she got. She commented on the 'go die' ones, but I'm pretty sure she got much, much, much worse ones than that. I sorta like "My Moment" a lot, for some reason. The chorus works?
