Lana Del Rey

I know a lot of people say Lana Del Rey doesn't have a stage presence but I don't care because I love the way her voice sounds. I'm really looking forward to seeing her at ACL this year but it's going to be so crowded. It will be worth it though.

Trojan Live

Trojan Live was...... interesting.
I think there were some people who thought they were WAY better than I thought they were. But hey, good for them for having the balls to get on a stage in front of a bunch of high schoolers. I know I wouldn't.
One of the people who I thought did the best was the choir girl Rosie, I think that is her name. She was in choir last year with my brother and he says she's really good and nice. I thought she was awesome, even though her band wasn't as on point as she was.
Olivia and Adrien were AWESOME. omg, im so proud of them. Since Olivia and Adrien are my step siblings I would sometimes hear them singing, but it was muffled. When I saw them on stage my jaw dropped. Their harmonies were perfect and Olivia did so well! I didn't realize she could sing that well!
Also, I know you may be shocked, I thought Connor's band was really good. They aren't my favorite flavor of music, but they had their shit together and sounded like a professional band. Kudos to you my friend.
So Trojan live had some other great parts. The kids running on stage and trying to do some kind of mosh pit will definitely be a highlight remembered by many staff members and students. But one serious moment I will remember was everyone clapping and cheering on the girl who couldn't find the right chords. I'm glad she stayed on stage and didn't just give up, i'm also surprised at our schools support. I don't know if everyone was feeling guilty after the whole Yik-Yak ordeal or what, but I was really proud of us for not just sitting in awkward silence or laughing when she messed up.

Feist

To me Feist and cat Power are really similar. I like Feist a little more though because her songs are a bit more upbeat and I also just like her voice more in general.

My favorite song from her album 'Let It Die' is Inside and Out

Favorite from 'The Reminder' is 'The Water'

'The Reminder' is also the perfect album to listen to when it's raining and you want to relax and fall asleep. It's really calming.

Cat Power

I think you would really enjoy Cat Power's music, if you haven't already heard it. My favorite song is 'Sea of Love' because it's sounds like a lullaby. Her voice is really unique and nice to listen to. All of her songs off her album 'The Covers Record' are awesome. Her voice brings a new tone to the songs.

Iggy Azalea

So this week when we went over the ACL lineup I found out Iggy was going to be there and I was extremely excited. I've blogged about her before. I was surprised with the amount of people who didn't like her/know who she was. I love her and she's definitely my favorite female rapper, I don't care what people say, she's awesome. I just love her music video.

Iggy Azalea

Iggy's latest hit 'Fancy' is all i've been listening to. I'm obsessed with her. She moved to America from Australia when she was 16 to pursue her rapping career. Fancy's music video is based off of one of my favorite movies 'Clueless'.

Eminem

When we were watching the documentary about rap this week and Eminem came onto the screen all i could think was 'WTF he's 41'.
Lately my brother has been getting really into Eminem and so i've been hearing a lot of his songs around the house. I liked a lot of his early stuff and his really recent stuff.
