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!

Scribbles about TV: Jane The Virgin Review!

This I think is a surprise hit, so of corse I needed to watch it for myself to see! It's been getting a lot of critical buzz because it has been reviewed as "one of the best pilots of the season" and I also have been hearing a few critics saying that they don't think it will last because the word "virgin" is in the title... which is stupid. There is nothing wrong with being a virgin and if a show is good, its good and people should watch it... plus this did bring pretty high ratings for The CW so the critics that said that can suck it! Lol. Overall I really liked this show. One thing thats been bothering me a lot about the new Fall shows is that the characters aren't interesting enough. Especially the female characters. I thought that this showed a lot of really strong female characters that were interesting. This had a pretty big cast with A LOT of stuff going on for a pilot and most of the characters were female. That is a powerful thing to see on TV...

Top 10 Dating Tips/ Suggestions

So I've been in a relationship for about 2 and a half years... but before that I was single... for a very long time. And I was on dating apps for about a year or so before that... so here's what I learned from those apps. If you want more specific relationship advice I have from being in a relationship... that one might be a little harder but I guess I could do a blog on that too? Idk... I'm not an expert but I think I have some good tips.  Find an App That Works For You  I feel like not all apps work for everyone. I started on Bumble- and I like the app. I love the idea of girls taking the first move- but... I HATE making the first move apparently. So I would just match with a bunch of guys... and never really knew what to talk about. Plus I like having A LOT of info in my bio and Bumble just doesn't give enough space for me. I only went out with 1 guy from Bumble I think and it was bad.  So after that I tried Coffee Meets Bagel... which is terrible. Maybe depending on...

Scribbles About TV: Jane The Virgin Finale Review (SPOILERS)

So.... Can we talk about all the twists because there were a lot! I didn't even see all of them coming! Alrighty we start out in typical Jane The Virgin Mode with Jane's choice between Raphael and Michael... I'd be okay with either but I think I'm team Michael. Jane has a weird moment with Raphael and thinks she's better off without him and just having him be the father of her child. She's also starting to have some feelings for Michael again. Then she almost has the baby on the bus and some woman helps her and gets the bus driver to take her to the hospital. Rogellio and Xo are in Vegas and they get drunk and can't remember what happens, but they make it just in time to see Jane deliver a baby boy. I knew it would be a boy! Lets pause on that a little and go to Michael and his ex partner/friend with benefits who comes back says she has a lead on Sin Rostro, gives him an address where the plastic surgeon is and by the time Michael gets there, he's de...
