"Hello...It's me"

Imagine this: Adele's "so serious" single "Hello", paired up with plastic xylophones, kazoos and maracas! This version of Adele's latest single "Hello" is sure to make you believe that anything Adele sings is a magical rollercoaster of whim and fantasy! She was joined by Jimmy Fallon and The Roots to serve up this playful tune.

 

This new take on the "depressing-cry-myself-to-sleep-when-I'm-single-and-lonely music" really takes things from an all-time low to a new-found high!

 

So thanks Adele for proving anything you do/sing is LITERALLY MAGICAL.

My favorite Red-Carpet looks of the night were:
Carrie Underwood:

BEST DRESSED

 

Gigi Hadid:

NO WORDS

 

Nick Jonas:

I just love the turtle neck!

 

Ellie Goulding:

Ellie really went all out on this look!

 

Ariana Grande:

This dress is unique, elegant, and looks very good on Ariana!

 

 

Some of the worst were:

 

Tove Lo:

I just don't understand. . .

 

Gwen Stefani:

Also, I guess I'll just never understand. . .

 

Zendaya:

Too much pink for me!

 

Selena Gomez:

The length and style of this dress is just all so wrong!

 

The best moments were:

 

J-Lo's opening act which was very unexpected and original! She danced to a remix of some of the year's hottest hits! And very well, if I may add.

 

 

Gwen Stefani's performance of her new single "Used To Love You", very raw and emotional! It is one of my favorite songs at the moment.

Nick Jonas' Performance!! He first sang a slowed down version of his single "Chains", which hit you right in the feels. Then he joined with a choir to sing his other single "Jealous" and brought a real soul feel to the AMA's.

Alanis Morrisette sang her all-time hit "You Oughta Know", with the help of Demi Lovato who brought a fiery passion to the performance!

Celine Dion's tribute to the Paris and the victims of the attacks. She sang an iconic French song by Edith Piaf. There were definitely tears at this moment.

 

And finally, the grand finale!!!!

 

Justin Bieber hit the stage. He started with a slowed down version of "What Do U Mean" and it was good enough to get any fangurl going. He then hit a dance break and started singing in the rain to his latest single, "Sorry". It was a nice touch adding to the emotion of the song and the performance!

 

 

This year's AMA's were the best award show in the longest time! I had a great time watching these awards, even if Katy Perry wasn't present! HAHA :-) J Lo did a great job hosting the show, she made it really fun and original.

 

If you weren't able to catch the show Sunday, be sure to catch it sometime!

Lights, Camera, Adele?!

Recently Adele went undercover as an Adele impersonator and suprised some of her biggest fans!

 

Now if this video doesn't make you just laugh out loud, you must have lost your sense of humor! And yes, the fact still holds true: no one can do Adele better than Adele!

Adele's newly anticipated album "25" just hit shelves yesterday, the 20th, and the only way fans are able to listen to it is if they buy the actual CD, or if they buy the album on iTunes. Adele is standing very firm with her idea that she doesn't want to put her new album on any streaming services. 

So, my suggestion? BUY THE ALBUM! Adele rarely (never) dissappoints!

VS Fashion Show

So yes, you may be asking why would I write a fashion show? The answer is because of the pop stars who performed!
The show started with Ellie Goulding:

She recently came out with her new album Delirium on November 6th. She sang some new songs including, "Love Me Like You Do", "On My Mind", and "Army".

 

Next was Selena Gomez:

 

And last but not least was The Weeknd,

 

 

If you did not have the chance of seeing the show, I recommend you try to catch it sometime soon! Really great performers and performances!

 

Quote of the day: "Once you've changes who you are or who've you portrayed in your music, the fans, they'll catch it... Once I feel like the world knows me for anything else but my music, then I feel like I failed." - The Weeknd

Hand in Hand....?

Yes, so the dating rumors between Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton have been the hot topic recently.

And guess what?! THEY'RE OFFICIALLY OFFICIAL. Thanks to this pic that was recently released:

Gwen and Blake, hand in hand

Well, if you ask me, IT'S ABOUT TIME! These two lovebirds met on the set of The Voice, in which they are both judges for! And just this past Halloween the two were spotted "getting close" with each other at co-judge Adam Levine's Halloween party.

The judges also recently guest-starred on Jimmy Fallon's The Late Night Show. The duo paired up to sing Drake's hit "Hotline Bling".

You can catch the video here:

 

Even though I would NEVER expect Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton to date, I think it's pretty rad. As a strong advocator of NBC's The Voice I approve of this pairing!

 

What are your thoughts?
