NEW MUSIC!!

So before I sat down this week to decide on what I was going to write about I went to iTunes and other music outlets to see what music was new this week. I found some great songs that I like and hopefully if you're reading this then you'll have the opportunity to check out some of the songs that I found. First, you have to start with the legend...Snoop Dogg. Now, if you listen to music at all you'll know that Snoop comes out with great music from time to time and even as he gets older he continues to come out with hits. The song is titled "Wet" and has a catchy beat along with the fact that Snoop sings a bit in this song which makes it different from all the others he makes, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1-FpVjmLfSA. Another song I found is from the infamous but yet great Kanye West. Kanye is known for mixing up several songs, his vocals, and his message during his songs but  one thing remains the same...he continues to come out with hits. In the track "All of the Lights" West gets together with other artists, Rihanna and Kid Cudi, and they come up with a song that isn't necessarily a club banger but something to listen to in your headphones, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HAfFfqiYLp0. The last song that I thought I should share with you is by Taio Cruz. Cruz is an artist that is rapidly growing with hits like "Break Your Heart" and "Dynamite." This new song is call "Higher" and this is another song where Cruz sticks to his guns and creates another song that young people can dance to, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FrK6N4db-ik.
These are just a few of the songs that I have found and that I really enjoy. I've given you a couple of links to the music on Youtube. I hope you enjoy it.

Oscars

Well seeing how the Oscars are coming up I would look at the movies that are nominated and ones that are up for the best music (original score and original songs). Now if your like me then you think that the music in any movie has to help the movie and sometimes the music is the best part of the movie. Now I must be honest I have seen every movie that is up for the musical nomination but I have seen about two-thirds of the movies. I'm not a big country fan but the music in the movie Country Strong was very good, I think that movie will win. Obviously, movies such as The Social Network and Inception the music only enhanced the movie because in my opinion both of the movies were good no matter what music was played. Toy Story 3, How to Train a Dragon and Tangled were the typical Disney Pixar type movies they are uplifting and make you feel good so music reflects the the themes of each movie. Overall, my assessment is that the three movies that have the best chance of winning the award for best original score will probably be Inception (just because I'm bias and really like that movie) and best original song will be Country Strong.
I think that the Oscars will be a great event altogether and I'm definitely looking forward to seeing who wins each and every award. I think that everyone should watch it; it comes on February 27 so everyone set your tivo.
