Grammy Gossip 2016

So... I have Superbowl Scoop and I like having these alliterative. I'm not a huge fan of music, but I'm excited for Lady Gaga's tribute to David Bowie, so I'm going to watch mostly for that. And I didn't even know Hamilton was performing! That was really really good too... we'll talk about that. Lol.

So lets talk about the reason why I wanted to watch: The performances! And they were all so good! I've never listened to Kenderick Lamar... but he was Amazing! The performance was really really cool and he was amazing! I've seen a lot of people saying he should win for Album of the Year and I can totally see that. I haven't listened to it yet, but as someone who doesn't listen to much rap or hip hop... I can totally see that. From what he performed... I downloaded it right after lol! On Apple Music, so I don't have to commit... but it was really good.

Alright so speaking of rap... You all know how much I love Hamilton. I've mentioned it many times... but I was SO EXCITED to see the performance. This is the closest I'll probably get to actually seeing Hamilton in a while. Plus I feel like Hamilton is a really important musical for right now. I learned a lot about politics from listening to this and it really applies to things that are important now. And they knew it was going to win, cause they were performing the show while The Grammy's was on... and Stephen Colbert had the grammy right there! That was cool. His speech was amazing too! I would have liked Something Rotten to win though cause I loved that... but I love Hamilton too, and I'm sure if and when I see it I will love it. Lol.

Carrie Underwood and Sam Hunt I think his name is... both great. I feel like one reason I could never be a singer would be because I couldn't make that much eye contact with someone... lol.  They were great. I'm starting to like Carrie Underwood a lot!

Ed Sheerin won! And Stevie Wonder, who is friends with Sheerin announced it. I'm in love with Ed Sheerin and I really like Stevie, so I was pretty excited about that! And I loved Stevie's performance and his message about equality for handicapped people. Probably went somewhat unnoticed... but it was awesome.

All the performances and tributes were really good... but the reason I watched was for the Lady Gaga tribute to David Bowie... and I thought she did a great job. I'm not going to say anything bad about Lady Gaga of corse, I love her... she is my 2nd favorite singer ever and my first favorite singer is Bowie himself... and the performance and tribute were great and she did a fantastic job... I kind of wished she had sang at least one of the songs a little longer... although I think having all the favorite songs fast paced is very bowie like because his songs are fast and fun and serious... and I thought that was a good way of honoring him... another critique I have of it... I wish it weren't an Intel commercial. I think that was a little wrong and I hope they give Iman or his children money for that.

And I loved Lady Gaga's hair, makeup and outfits for the night. I thought she looked really cool. I said I wanted to wear her outfit to the Dentist when I went... lol. I didn't of corse... but I wanted to. David Bowie's son didn't like the tribute and Entertainment Weekly believed it was because she was wearing a risqué outfit... I love Entertainment Weekly... but I don't think thats why he didn't like it. I don't think Gaga's dress was inappropriate, I thought it looked like Gaga's take on Bowie.... and I think its more maddening that the performance was an Intel commercial than anything else... Aside from that it was very well done and very cool... but come on. Don't use David Bowie for a commercial.

And Alabama Shakes were good... everything was pretty good. Lol. I also downloaded Tori Kelly's CD on Apple Music after cause she was great.

I think that is everything worth mentioning... Other than how Hot Johnny Depp looked! Lol.

Byeee!

Disney Store Closing Haul

So if you read my post from yesterday- you know that I love The Disney Store, but it is unfortunately closing. I did pick up some things from the store that I thought I'd share with you guys! I did get a couple of t shirts. One is a Star Wars shirt, which is technically a men's shirt but I thought it looked really cool and I don't like that Disney doesn't carry the same things for men and for women. For the most part they look unisex to me and a lot of their men's stuff has characters I like better. Like the star wars shirt for women was grey with pink lettering and had no pictures, but the mens shirt had a really cool metallic silver logo on black clothing with pictures of all the new characters and Luke inside of the letters... much cooler! So I got that! The other shirt I got is really funny and it has Sleeping Beauty on it and it says "I Woke Up Like This." Which I really liked! Super cute and funny and my niece likes it when I wear shirts with c...

Scribbles About Life: 3.10.16

Soooo... I don't really want to post about my day... but I don't really want to post anything else either. I started writing something about female characters in movies and TV... but I just didn't like what I was writing and... idk... I was a blog writing machine this week and now I feel defeated. I wrote a ton on Monday and Tuesday and now I just don't feel like doing a post today... but I want to write still... So I'll talk about things that I guess are on my mind lately... Idk. So I got this Revlon Ultra HD Matte Lipcolor... and for some reason... I'm addicted to the way that it smells. Idk why, it smells like cherry medicine... but I also sort of like it. Its more cherry than medicine... and I can't smell it on my lips... but Idk. I keep smelling it in the tube. I got some cute stuff from American Eagle yesterday too! I got a dress and a romper... I do not own any Rompers... except this one... but it looked good on me and it didn't make me look f...

Throwback Thursday: 13 Going On 30

So I watched this on VH1 around Christmas Time because it was on... they really need to bring this movie to Netflix because it's pretty fantastic and VH1 doesn't get the whole thing. I didn't catch the very beginning... but I did watch most of it from around the time when Matty gives her the Dream House... so sweet. It was a little weird to watch this movie because when it came out, I was 13 or almost 13... and now I'm closer to being 30... but I still felt more connected to the 13 year old Jenna instead of the adults in the movie. Like I'm not totally sure when I turned almost 30... but I don't like it. I'm still 13 year old Jenna who likes the same music as when I was 13 and has kind of the same style as I did then... I don't know... its just kind of a weird thing and I was freaking out a little bit from it. This is also the movie that introduced me to one of my favorite actresses, Judy Greer! I love Judy Greer, she's so funny and great and s...
