MUSIC MONDAY 5.26.14

Hello!

I have A LOT to post this week, but I wanted to chat with you guys about a few things...

First and foremost, I hope you all had a great 3 day weekend! (as it is now over) :( Though, it is my 20th birthday tomorrow so I guess the party continues for me lol. I do believe I had the same feeling of getting old last year.. I'm not too sure how I feel about being on the planet for an entire 2 decades....very unreal..I'm so very thankful to wake up every morning healthy & happy.

Additionally, this Saturday is a HUGE deal for me. I will be departing for a summer internship in LA! I'm moving out there by myself and will be blogging all about my journey right here! So stay tuned for more in depth blogs and more to look through in general :) So watch out for those in the near future :)

Ok, That was it. Not too bad, right? Haha

Now, I hope you enjoy my picks this week :)

Now tell me which one you like better! ^ or v ??

On this note...PLEASE go check out all of the performances from BBC Radio 1's Big Weekend, which took place in Glasgow this year! So many amazing and talented artists to watch!

Happy CINCO de MAYOOOOO! Last week of school! One final Tuesday and one Thursday and I will OFFICIALLY be a JUNIOR!!!!!

hahaha okay, we NEED to have a little discussion about this past week in music though......there are no wordsss!

So the 2014 iHeart Radio Music Awards happened... and they were amazing! With performances by Shakira, Ariana Grande, Usher, and Pharrell Williams, there was a lot going on, and a lot of talent filling up that venue! I will include some performances below!

Anyway, here are my picks this week!

Enjoy :) 

I think this is a great new sound for them...not too much like anything I've heard from them in a while!

LOVEE

And then there was this:

ARE. WE. KIDDING?!?!?!?!?!? 

This track is the epitome of insane. This is Michael Jackson's vocals from 1983 remastered with vocals from Justin Timberlake as well.......so pretty much the definition of musical perfection----AMIRITE?!
