How about those Grammy's!! I thoroughly enjoyed the event... I'm not sure about you all! I liked it because it had a perfect balance of old and new, commercial and not so commercial, and there were awards for all of those. But really the two awards I was most impressed with were the ones that were handed to "Lorde"... for her breakout single "Royale".
I'm not going to talk you to death, but I'll just say this. Lorde has proved to me that the world seeks different. I mean, it seems to be common sense that artists should be different and unique to make it. But time after time we hear the same stuff on the radio, see the same artists on TV, and hear the same style of music in the clubs, so independent artists will just gravitate to what they know. WRONG IDEA!! Independent artists should remind themselves they are INDEPENDENT for a reason. It PAYS to be yourself.... And Lorde just proved to the whole world that you can be a NOBODY a year ago... and just for releasing something that was TRUE TO HER... something not persuaded by commercialism, she now has a Grammy in each back pocket (yes she had some kind of jean garment swag going on, I'm not sure what it is).. but anyway, lol yes she has her own unique style too... but that's what makes her AWESOME, even if you didn't really like the song. You can't do anything but respect the fact that she got rewarded for being her.
So now, it's time to be rewarded for being YOU. Go out there, create, do YOU and nobody else. After no time, thanks to Youtube and the likes, you could bring home your own pair of Grammys in 2015. Happy Recording!
