Rocco's Pop Revolution: Seen through the eyes of someone living it

Posts Tagged ‘Grammy Awards 2011

I really like this “Just A Kiss” song. I don’t know what it is. Whenever these people release a song, I’m obsessed with it right away.

And it doesn’t hurt that the blonde guy with the beard is a little sex pot.

I haven’t even watched the J Lo performance and I already like this better.

Randy, you better not like them better than me!

That title makes absolutely no sense. Sorry.

I may have posted this already… or I may have not. I honestly do not remember.

Bruno Mars breaks down “Grenade” and performs it for Billboard Magazine’s studio session. Those are the facts.

And for some more facts…. he’s good.

I’m not really a fan of this slowed down version (I love the drum beat in the original) but no one can deny that this guy doesn’t have a great voice. It’s such a throw back.

I should probably pay to see him live.

There was nothing funny about this post. Sometime I just want to post music without having to be funny. That’s cool right?? You’ll still read this right?? Awesome.

I'm bored

Justin Bieber is going to take another $17 from me this weekend because Never Say Never: Fan Director’s Cut will be released this Friday. I’m so glad I have plans for this weekend.

40 MINUTES OF NEW FOOTAGE!?!? I’m going to pay $17 dollars to see 40 minutes. I pretend I’m mad… but inside my heart is weeping with joy. I can’t wait to put on those 3D glasses again to hide my tears. Tears of pride.

Oh and my little angel muffin circa 2011 got a new haircut, won MVP at the celebrity all-star game, lost a Grammy, got killed on CSI, and his Never Say Never: Remixes is #1. And double uh-oh Oreos…. My World 2.o is also on the charts at #4.

Raise your hand if you are f-in impressed.

Adele and Darius Rucker (The Hootie & The Blowfish guy) sang Lady Antebellum’s “Need You Now”… and even though I was so sick of this song after it swept the Grammy’s… I’m back into it with Adele singing. I’m obsessed with her lately. I saw her in concert and just can’t stop listening to her.

Check it out… it’s pretty good.

Oh and by the way… that was definitely not my two favorite things. You can all stop questioning my sanity.

My two favorite things are Titanic and Abe Lincoln. And look what was on-screen at the same time during a documentary about the Presidents. (I had to put this in a random post because by itself would’ve been really strange.)

BAM!

Can you believe that?? Whenever this President thing originally aired, they were also discussing Titanic stuff. I probably didn’t leave the couch that weekend with all this educational television of my favorite things.

That is all.

I totally tried to come up with the most random/intriguing title to suck you in… because to be honest, I’m not really sure what this is about.

A new interview from Lee D.’s audition for the next season of Jersey Shore from the Grammy Awards has emerged. If you click on Tool bear you can see it.

Click Me! Then let's do some shots dawg!

1) Nice salute. Very fitting for President’s weekend. WHO’S YOUR FAVORITE PRESIDENT AND WHY??? Ohhh too bad interview Jamboree wasn’t today… that questions makes a lot more sense than on some random day in May.

2) This guy is asking him about standard text messaging rates, yet my interview questions are looked at as dumb. Where is the justice in this nation?!?!

3) I promise to never bring up Idol. I don’t even want him to say the word “American”. Unless, we are talking about the presidents. Duh.

4) I’m also going to ask him who his favorite founding father is. I hope it’s Ben Franklin because I just adore Ben Franklin. Seriously.. I did a project on him in 3rd grade and drew this kick ass picture of him discovering electricity and ever since then when people would as me who my favorite founding father was… I said without missing a beat “Ben Franklin duh”.

I think this may be my exact drawing. My teacher totally put it online.

5) That was such a dumb interview… I’ve never seen Lee D. move so fast. He was so over that. I thought he got a shock from the seat due to his rapid movement upward.

6) Thanks for reading this and watching that. I feel like I should give you back 3 minutes of your time.

Thank Oprah this dude signed his name, as opposed to anonymous, because people would have thought I wrote this letter to the New York Times, and it would have been a convoluted mess.

Steve Stoute is a record executive and rapper Nas’ manager and apparently a giant Justin Bieber fan.

Stoute wrote a letter to the NYT this past Sunday where he said that the RIAA proved that they are “out of touch with contemporary pop culture.” (Can’t deny that.) He goes on to say that “the ceremony and the performance aspect of the show, contradict the voting system and the voters refuse to allow for changing trends and popular artists.” (This guy is a genius!)

“How is it that Justin Bieber, an artist that defines what it means to be a modern artist, did not win Best New Artist? Again, his cultural impact and success are even more quantifiable if you factor in his YouTube and Vevo viewership–the fact that he was a talent born entirely of the digital age whose story was crafted in the most humble method of being “discovered” purely for his singing ability (and it should be noted that Justin Bieber plays piano and guitar, as evidenced on his early viral videos).”

Never seen a bigger Bieber fan in my life. And not just because I adore my little angel muffin, I have to agree with Stoute. Even those other Best New Artist nominees are a major influence on pop culture. Shit… Drake sold millions with his mix tape before he even had a legit record deal.

Stoute also brings up the time Eminem lost to Steely Dan and Kanye West lost to Herbie Hancock. This guy is pissed.

Wow. This was such a serious post. I apologize. I just wanted to share this guy’s words with you all. Let it sink in and then forget about it, I guess… because it doesn’t really matter at this point.

ItsMyT1me sent this to me and I’m so grateful. I didn’t even know he was doing an All-Star Basketball game and I don’t even know why. But let’s be real… I wouldn’t have watched it anyway.

Unless Leonardo DiCaprio is asking me to sit court side with him at a Lakers game I want nothing to do with basketball.

Anyway… J Biebs was the shortest angel muffin on the court and he still won MVP.

He’s so talented.

As ItsMyTime said… who needs a Grammy??

Reason #1:

Rocco: Mom… I saw Never Say Never. Greatest movie ever. I cried at one point.

Mamadukes: I don’t like that Justin Bieber… he’s kind of conceited isn’t he??

Rocco: MOM!! Don’t say that!!! He’s an angel muffin.

Mamadukes: *shrugs*

what the hell mamadukes???

Reason #2:

*watching a Justin Bieber commercial*

Rocco: I love that kid. He’s so awesome.

Big D: He’s an asshole.

Rocco: SHUT YOUR MOUTH!!

How can I possibly share DNA with these people?? I want to see my birth certificate immediately!!

I think her face is just so sore from those stupid prosthetic spikes protruding from it.

Either that, or she’s an idiot.

Oh, and she was asked who she would want to play her in a movie… and because she thinks about these things she had an answer right away.

Either Rosario Dawson and Marisa Tomei. These choices are bad because Lady Gaga is not black and not 45.
